1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: This podcast. Can we talk about a forest, twiggy Forest?

2
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: Any chance I can get to play a bit of

3
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 1: Cure on our show, I will. This is a great

4
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: song called a Forest.

5
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,319
Speaker 2: I saw the guy from the Cure on a plane once,

6
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 2: Robert Smith. Yea, I saw Robert Smith got on his

7
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 2: Quantus pajamas.

8
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: I got a photo with him in the Virgin Lounge, smiling,

9
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: and he looked like he wanted to be somebody.

10
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 2: He didn't seem like the guy that you asked to

11
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,480
Speaker 2: have a photo. Congratulations to you for flying business class.

12
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 2: It was first.

13
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: Actually anyway, let's talk about the forest, because you know what,

14
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: but people like to escape and go into the forest

15
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 1: just to forget about things. And this is happening quite

16
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: a bit. Have you ever heard about people bathing in nature.

17
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 2: I've heard a bum sunning, and I think that would

18
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 2: be quite a good thing for the for that region.

19
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: So what they're doing this is just to get away

20
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: from the chaotic news cycle at the moment. And if

21
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: you see a war and if you think it sick

22
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: of turning on the news service and it's all negative, negative, negative,

23
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: it's time for you to go and bathe in nature

24
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: to wash away the stress.

25
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 2: Do you literally mean bathe or just like soaking it up?

26
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: Well, it's no, you're bathing sort of just in nature.

27
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: So Claire Jeffrey, she does it two hours a day.

28
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: She just wanted to get away from everyday life and

29
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: she treated herself to a little forest bathing. When I'm here,

30
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: it's almost like a protective bubble around me. The Sunday

31
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: morning session was led by a guide who was jingling

32
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: a tiny brass bell. She called her dozen or so

33
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: charges to gather for meditation, breathing exercises, and to commune

34
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: with the nature.

35
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 2: This is a good idea and time was why you

36
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 2: guys live. It is as if mocking this, No, well,

37
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: you wouldn't be able to do it because you're hyperactive.

38
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 2: It's up there with horse therapy if you ask, well,

39
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 2: it's no, it's not.

40
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: It's up there with the Japanese wellness practice of shinrin yoku.

41
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: That's the activity has been known to reduce stress, improve mood,

42
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: lower blood pressure, and boost the immune system.

43
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 2: You need to be in nature. You Actually, it's very

44
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 2: good for your nervous system, isn't it. Yeah, don't touch grass,

45
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: but you wouldn't be able to do that because I

46
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 2: have army you know, yeah, exactly. You take your shoes off,

47
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 2: walk along the lawn and go, I wonder how much

48
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 2: this lawn is. I wonder if I can buy this

49
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 2: lawn and put miny gls on it. Is that why
