Lave-toi de toi-m\u00eame\".\nCette citation me guide dans ma pratique spirituelle et dans mon cheminement vers la d\u00e9couverte de mon vrai moi. Ma pratique du yoga et de la m\u00e9ditation a toujours eu pour intention d'\u00e9claircir le brouillard produit par mon esprit. Qui aurait cru que les arbres puissent m'aider dans cette t\u00e2che (et qu'ils y soient plut\u00f4t dou\u00e9s) ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Qu'est-ce que le Shinrin-Yoku ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>En japonais, Shinrin-Yoku signifie \"bain de for\u00eat\". Il s'agit d'une pratique contemplative (mais aussi physique !) bas\u00e9e sur les propri\u00e9t\u00e9s th\u00e9rapeutiques de la nature, et en particulier des arbres.\nTout au long de ma vie quand les temps se sont fait difficiles, j'ai toujours recherch\u00e9 le contact avec la nature, de mani\u00e8re instinctive, \u00e0 mon propre insu. Les bains de for\u00eat nous forcent \u00e0 ce constat \u00e9vident : la nature gu\u00e9rit. C'est aussi simple que cela, et le corps le sait bien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pourquoi un bain de for\u00eat en groupe ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Se rendre dans la nature est une exp\u00e9rience bien diff\u00e9rente quand elle est v\u00e9cu en groupe qu'en solitaire.\nJ'ai r\u00e9cemment particip\u00e9 \u00e0 une excursion pour un bain d'une journ\u00e9e dans la for\u00eat de Fontainebleau, au sud de Paris. Notre guide Christopher Le Coq nous avait emmen\u00e9 moi-m\u00eame et mes six autres compagnons de bain pour une journ\u00e9e enti\u00e8re de reconnexion avec la nature. La dynamique de groupe et les \u00e9changes\/activit\u00e9s auxquels nous \u00e9tions invit\u00e9s \u00e0 participer ont rendu l'exp\u00e9rience bien plus enrichissante que si j'avais \u00e9t\u00e9 toute seule. Parfois, nous \u00e9tions invit\u00e9s \u00e0 exprimer par un seul mot nos sensations. Je me suis souvent \u00e9tonn\u00e9e de la puissance de ces mot singuliers. Il n'y avait plus besoin de longues explications. C'\u00e9tait simple, ces mots r\u00e9sonnaient, pas seulement en moi, mais en chacun de nous tous.\nC'est dans de tels moments qu'on r\u00e9alise que nous sommes tous connect\u00e9s. Les humains, les arbres et la nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"677\" height=\"903\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crystalnicoleweber.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/group-forest-bath.jpg?resize=677%2C903&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crystalnicoleweber.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/group-forest-bath.jpg?w=677&amp;ssl=1 677w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crystalnicoleweber.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/group-forest-bath.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crystalnicoleweber.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/group-forest-bath.jpg?resize=9%2C12&amp;ssl=1 9w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 677px) 100vw, 677px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Comment se d\u00e9roule un bain de for\u00eat ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Je ne veux pas g\u00e2cher le suspense pour celles et ceux qui souhaiteraient participer \u00e0 un bain de for\u00eat, mais je dirais qu'il y a du temps pour tout : la marche, la contemplation, des \u00e9changes en groupe, de la cr\u00e9ativit\u00e9, du plaisir et beaucoup de sensibilisation \u00e0 la nature \u2013 se rendre compte \u00e0 quel point elle est intelligente et \u00e0 m\u00eame de nous aider \u00e0 gu\u00e9rir, quand nous sommes capables de ralentir notre course et pr\u00eater attention.

Wash yourself of yourself\u201d. This quote has been sort of a guiding light in my spiritual practice and on my journey towards discovering my true self. My yoga and meditation practice has largely been based on clearing the fog created by my mind. Well, who knew that trees could help with that (not to mention they\u2019re pretty good at it too)! What is Shinrin-Yoku? Shinrin-Yoku in Japanese means forest bathing. It is a contemplative (but also physically active!) practice based on the healing effects of nature, most notably trees. I have, practically all my life, although unbeknownst to me, instinctively sought out nature when times get rough. Forest bathing puts it all into context: Nature heals. It\u2019s as simple as that, and the body knows it. Why a group forest bath? Going into nature alone is quite a different experience than going with a group. I recently joined an all-day forest bathing excursion in Fontainebleau, south of Paris. Our guide Christopher Le Coq took me and 6 other fellow forest bathers into the forest for a whole day of reconnecting with nature. The group dynamics and the exchanges\/activities we were invited to participate in made the experience much more enriching than when I venture out into the woods alone. At times, we were invited to share just a single word about one of the experiences. I often found myself amazed at the power of that single word. No need for longer explanations. It simply resonated, and not just with me, but with all of us. And that\u2019s when you realize: we are all connected. Humans, trees and nature alike. What exactly do you do? Well, I don\u2019t want to spoil the experience for anyone who is interested in going on a forest bathing trip, but I will say that there is time for everything: walking, contemplation, group exchanges, creativity, fun, and a whole lot of awareness about nature\u2014 how intelligent it is and how it helps us heal when we slow down and pay attention. At one point, I had a silly grin on my face, and I couldn\u2019t help it. I just wanted to smile. When the day is done and you return to the hustle and bustle of the busy city, you realize just how peaceful, calm and content you are. Advocating for the rights of trees But forest bathing is not just about us washing ourselves of ourselves. It\u2019s more importantly about the trees. So, let\u2019s be nice to the trees. Let\u2019s notice them, say hello to them, thank them and appreciate them. They are Earthlings, just like us. Now, if I had to explain my forest bathing experience in one word, what would that be?
