This week we are talking about the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health benefits of a Japanese practice called forest bathing, 森林浴. I will be sharing epic global research, recommendations*, and accessibility about forest bathing & forest walking**.  

*This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be substituted for professional advise. Always consult your own therapist, psychologist, psychiatrist, counselor, doctor or other mental health/medical professional.

**All forms of outdoor recreation have a higher level of risk than most ordinary activities, and therefore can be potentially hazardous and/or dangerous. This includes hiking and especially off-trail adventure hiking. Risk is always a factor in hiking and off-trail adventure hiking, especially when weather is adverse or unpredictable, or when unforeseen events or conditions create a hazardous condition. It is the responsibility of the listeners to this podcast to learn the necessary skills for safe hiking, nature walking, and off-trail adventure hiking. All participants must assume responsibility for their own actions and safety, exercise sound judgment, be prepared for all conditions, and seek advice on current weather conditions.  Those who use this information, and those who venture onto trails or into wilderness, do so at their own risk. You are solely responsible for using your judgment in interpreting and using this information to safely enjoy your own outdoor pursuits. Reach New Heights Podcast host (Julie Householder), guests, and anyone contributing information to this episode shall not be held liable for any inconvenience, accidents, rescues, injuries or loss of life should you undertake hiking, wildness trips, or forest walking discussed in this episode.

This week I am sharing a powerful exercise that I do when I am struggling through something, feeling down on myself, or notice that I am trying to seek external validation. It is a writing practice you can easily change or design in a way that works best for you in regards to time and form of expression.

This week our guest Dr. Neal Klein will talk all things:

Dr. Neal Klein has taught at Lesley University, in Cambridge, MA for the past 40 years, teaching classes in cutting edge psychology, counseling, holistic health and wellness, and cross cultural psychology.He is the author of A New Operating Manual for Being Human, and his most recent publication Me, Myself, and Mindfulness: The Arithmetic of Consciousness.

Dr. Klein has over 30 years experience as a practicing psychotherapist. One of his life quests has been to help expand the current prevailing paradigm that we as  human beings and psychologists use to formulate our beliefs regarding what is humanly possible emphasizing  the nature of consciousness and human potential.

He has taught swing and ballroom dance for over 25 years. He is the owner of both Dancing Feats Swing and Ballroom, and The Dancing Fools. He teaches swing dancing at Lesley University and frequently highlights the focus on non-verbal communication in partner dancing as the essence of  any lead/follow dance which demands paying attention to visual and tactile clues.
