Mindfulness and Shinrin-Yoku: Potential for Physiological and Psychological Interventions during Uncertain Times.

This theoretical paper proposes that mindfulness and Shinrin-Yoku (forest bathing) may serve as physiological and psychological interventions during uncertain times. The authors argue that these practices offer potential benefits for stress reduction and overall well-being, particularly when conventional resources are limited. They suggest that integrating these nature-based and contemplative approaches could provide accessible coping strategies. The paper reviews existing literature to support this proposal, emphasizing the need for further research to establish efficacy.
