SNAGA ŠUME️ prije 1 tjedan

Jeste li znali da možete vratiti prirodne postavke živčanog sustava? Da, možete. I to samo boravkom u šumi. 💚 Šuma mijenja tijelo. Snižava kortizol, usporava puls, produbljuje dah. U 20 minuta prisutnosti — živčani sustav se počinje smirivati. Što tebi najviše treba — mir ili usporavanje? #šuma #Shinrinyoku #snagašume #šumskakupka @poliderma @opcina_radoboj @idilira_travel_agency

SNAGA ŠUME️ prije 2 tjedna

Zima nas uči promatrati. I slušati. Šumska kupka počinje tišinom — u kojoj tijelo napokon čuje sebe. Ovaj mjesec otvaramo vrata novom ritmu: što je šumska kupka, kako djeluje i zašto mijenja dah. Što ti je potrebno od šume ovog mjeseca? 💚 #Shinrinyoku #šumskakupka #snagašume #šuma

SNAGA ŠUME️ prije 2 tjedna

Osjećaš se iscrpljeno i bez energije, iako ništa posebno ne radiš? 😴 To nije slabost. To je tvoj živčani sustav u kroničnom „fight or flight“ modu. Šuma ga zna ugasiti. Sunčeva svjetlost kroz krošnje, miris zemlje i tišina šalju mozgu signal: ➡ sigurno je ➡ možeš se opustiti ➡ možeš se obnoviti U tom trenutku tijelo počinje mijenjati kemiju. Stresni hormoni padaju. Energija se vraća. To je početak šumske kupke. 🌲 #šumskakupka #snagašume #Shinrinyoku #šuma

Certificirane šumske staze SNAGE ŠUME nastaju tamo gdje se susreću prirodna snaga prostora, znanost o dobrobiti boravka u šumi i pažljivo oblikovano iskustvo kretanja i mirovanja. To nisu obične šetnice. To su prostori u kojima dah postaje dublji, misli tiše, a tijelo pamti kako se opušta. Svaka staza prolazi stručnu procjenu i nosi oznaku kvalitete šumske terapije. 💚 #šumskakupka #snagašume #šuma #Shinrinyoku

Šumska kupka (Shinrin-yoku) je svjesno i sporo uranjanje u šumu – uz vođenje, disanje, osjetila i prisutnost. To je praksa u kojoj šuma radi za tebe: 🌿 smanjuje stres 🌿 umiruje živčani sustav 🌿 poboljšava koncentraciju 🌿 vraća osjećaj povezanosti Ne moraš „raditi“ ništa. Samo biti. Jeste li već sudjelovali u šumskoj kupki? Pišite nam svoja iskustva u komentarima. 👇🏼 #snagašume #šumskakupka #Shinrinyoku #šuma

The forest hosted and embraced us during the symposium.

We left a part of ourselves in it, and in return received friendship and connection with people who think, feel and breathe as one. they say that life is not measured by the number of breaths, but by the number of moments when you run out of breath - and this was one such moment. 

Circles have been created that will bridge the boundaries that people have invented, and some new light is being born. 

May the Forest be with you
