Shinrin Yoku (Forest Bathing)

Fridays are for forest bathing! Makaula 'O'oma Trail is my favorite place to get lost in the clouds, hug a tree, and listen to the songs of the Native Hawaiian forest birds.

Have you hugged a rainbow eucalyptus today?

I love how the forest shifts from blue skies to mystical clouds in a moment
