As you listen to forest sounds, you might want to smell cedar oil or cedar chips for a full 3-D forest environment effect! Scientists believe the scent of cedar tree compounds is part of the reason forest bathing helps to reduce blood pressure.

GIVE YOURSELF

WITH NLP

FEELING STRESSED? Try a neurolinguistic programming–enhanced mantra!

A mantra is a sacred utterance—either a word or a group of words with positive associations—that you say out loud.

Mantras make a very relaxing sound meditation, and that’s a research-backed opinion. A study in Brain and Behavior reported that repeating a single-word mantra, even without a spiritual context or other practices typical of meditation, had a definite calming effect.

I believe mantras work because they do double duty as a neurolinguistic programming (NLP) tool. NLP is a therapy built on the belief that using positive and self-loving language can influence your subconscious mind.

How to do it

Some NLP TLC to do ASAP: Repeat the phrase “Everything always works out for me.” For best results, say it while looking in the mirror at yourself. Vary how you say it so these words don’t become “white noise.” Say it slowly, then quickly, then softly, then loudly. Repeat for two minutes.
