Proving the Role of Trees in Stabilizing Emotions and Stress

Sunday morning as usual the mind wants to jump out of the overheat zone to relieve the mental fatigue that was somewhat chaotic to be defragmented by way of "walking-walking" usually guided by junior young eagles from DIAZ this time tried to join a small community, "Mlaku berkelanjutan" commanded by cak Raouhan with the destination of Sabana Barotan Pujon with a distance of approximately 4 hours round trip it happened we started from the Panderman Hill residential area quite a distance quite draining energy especially added to getting lost because adjusting this gps is it wrong gps or stress brain frequency waves affecting gps?.

In general the Ciamik landscape route towards the peak of sabana garotan which is dominated by pine forest, mahogany with fairly dense vegetation there is also decorated with komplangan land forest which is a social forest planted with vegetables by the surrounding forest residents most of whose trees are slowly poisoned to die so that direct sunlight can hit their plants, on the way to the peak many presented calming views. making perspective awakened between seeing far and near an object.

Up and down its contours a normality of the mountain As we approached the peak, a spontaneous thought emerged in my mind wanting to when hugging a large tree standing firmly in front of my eyes in the route towards the peak of sabana.. that tree is approximately 55 years old which means at the age of 12-13 I estimate the diameter to be about one meter.

I tried to observe from top to bottom from the leaves with their structure, the stem along with moss plants that thickly almost covered the stem and root tangles from top to bottom as if like tangled hair reminded me of Irwan's hair a DIAZ member whose hair is long and tangled in my heart wow what a special tree that has been cared for by the cosmic intelligence of the universe in its own way.

Almost about 3 minutes just to observe the tree in my mind I tried to build information about what was in my brain's memory about forest bathing techniques or bathing in the forest, which is becoming popular. This practice is not just a walk, but about absorbing the atmosphere of the forest with all five senses. A very strong urge of an idea to move my hands wide to immediately hug tightly

The question is, is this simple activity really having a real impact on mental and physical health? Various literature studies apparently began to confirm these claims. And I wanted to prove it myself.

Personal Experiment 27 Seconds Hugging a Tree

By trying it sincerely. a hug without any tendency that exists and I admit that today bad mood occurred. The process took place my mind and consciousness I projected only to observe sensations in my mind and body. hoping to feel the effect of difference before and after. For approximately 27 seconds, to hug the tree tightly. And in the last seconds, a subtle change occurred. My mood changed. The mood that was flat, slowly awakened accompanied by a feeling of sadness and "brebes mili" as if there was a release of burden. Is this what is called the release of negative ions or negative energy from within the body?

What Happens Scientifically?

That personal experience apparently has an explanation from the literature I read and in everyday life, our bodies are bombarded by positive ions (free radicals) from air pollution, gadget radiation, and stress. These positive ions are believed to disrupt the balance of body cells. Trees, especially those that are lush and healthy, are known to release negative ions. When we hug them, our bodies absorb these negative ions which function to neutralize the excess of positive ions, thus helping to stabilize the body and create a feeling of more calm and fresh.

Connection with Nature (Grounding/Earthing) The theory of grounding or earthing believes that by touching the ground or natural objects (such as trees) directly, we allow our bodies to absorb natural electron energy from the earth. This neutralizing energy helps reduce stress by stabilizing the body's physiological condition, such as lowering heart rate and cortisol stress hormone levels.

And what is most important the impact on Biofield and Emotion The human body has a subtle energy field (biofield). Stress and negative emotions can disrupt the balance of this energy. Trees, as living beings with stable and strong energy, are believed to act as natural "stabilizers". In the embrace, there is an interaction of energy where the chaotic vibrations from our bodies are as if "recycled" or calmed by the vibrations of the tree. This is what I may have felt as a feeling of relief and "brebes mili" earlier a release to stabilize the emotions and etheric energy of the body. Although modern science continues to explore the exact mechanism, empirical experience and a number of preliminary studies are strong enough to show that hugging a tree is not just a myth. This activity is a form of natural therapy that is easy, free, and free of side effects.

I continued my journey with a more aware feeling until the peak. Usually muscle stretching so the body quickly releases enough 2 minutes, other friends prepared a stove coffee brewed with the aroma of robusta coffee somewhat bitter a bit of fragrant smell of kas dampit the taste is quite strong it happened to buy at the asterik cafe at the corner of Landungsari terminal.

While sipping hot coffee and looking at the stunning view that allows one's imagination to fly anywhere searching for beautiful memories in the mind to upgrade consciousness, just 30 minutes is enough to refresh at the summit. If in Hindu cosmology many gods of wisdom dwell above the mountain, then "drink in knowledge even if it is only of an ethereal nature".

Preparation to descend while cleaning up trash when passing through the return route, it was enough to bring 1 large plastic bag. The descent only took 1.5 hours more to reach the onsite point. I took the motorcycle from the hiding place that I covered with leaves and burlap sacks, said goodbye to my friends, went straight home and arrived at the house at 15.00

What happened when I got home, I kept observing the changes in my body's emotions and mind. It turned out that for 3 days the good mood feeling was there and stuck to my body, making it possible to rebuild cells because I was able to release free radicals back to zeromind. Four days later, stress came back hahahhahahhha, cortisol levels up again cooooook
