To walk in this sea of chemistry, and take it in through your senses, is called forest bathing. The healing is immediate. For most people, the synergy sweeps the body, mind and soul back into a holistic unit. Even as a child, Amos Clifford carried this wisdom in his heart. Let the wisdom in his book permeate yours."--Diana Beresford-Kroeger, author of The Global Forest and star of the new documentary Call of the Forest<br><br>"The scientific data confirming the mental, emotional, and biophysical benefits of forest bathing are most exciting and validating to me as an integrative physician.

His writing magically unites us with the healing rhythms of nature to dissolve lingering issues and bring about profound peace of heart."--Philip Barr, MD, Duke Integrative Medicine<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>M.
