Forest Bathing

In this episode we'll look at three new videos - about Ancient Japanese "Forest Bathing" with the practice of Shinto, some key points about the current right brain deficit in our current culture, and how the Ancient Greeks described much of the nature of the Right Brain with the idea and concept of the "Nous".

Right Brain Deficits: 2:30

All of which points to a balanced brain, and solutions to re-finding the "Renaissance Mind".
