Biophilia, forest bathing & breathwork
If you are going to get serious about breathwork, breathe the good stuff…
Renowned biologist and naturalist Edward O. Wilson coined the term “biophilia” to indicate “the urge to affiliate with other forms of life” including plant life. Science, it turns out, has proven this inclination to be well-directed.
In Japan, “forest bathing” - the act of being in and therefore breathing the deep, naturally potent, positively-charged, rich air of dense, lush vegetation (bathing in the air itself, not water) - has been practiced for millennia, with astounding benefits to health and well-being. These benefits are not only anecdotal and subjective, but documented clinically through key markers of a robust immune system. Amazingly, only a few hours in such an environment can effect healing changes in blood chemistry that last for months.
Imagine maximizing that with powerful breathwork protocols…
JD Hixson has spent 20 years exploring these power places in Japan, from the Yanbaru Forest in Okinawa to the mountainous regions of the mainland. After years of studying breathwork with the greatest masters and venturing through Japan, he now organizes and leads training sessions in the breathwork dojos of Nature herself.
