Forest Bathing: Natures cure to mental health and low blood pressure - Ankha Azzura Magazine

When I first heard of Forest bathing, I thought it was swimming in a lake in a forest or a type of sauna out in the middle of the wilderness. To my surprise, it was the complete opposite!

Forest bathing originated in Japan in the 1980s, known as ‘shinrin-yoku’, which means forest bathing or taking in the forest atmosphere. It began as a form of eco-therapy, and according to the Founder of Emerald and Tiger, Jasmin Harsono, it has gained global recognition for its numerous physical and mental he

It’s time to try REAL Chai and here’s why!

When I think of Chai, of course the latte springs to mind as it’s one of my favourite drinks. But I recently discovered that it’s not a ‘true’ Chai. In fact, a Chai latte is actually unhealthy, whereas a Chai Tea – the original drink, is the source of all the health benefits.

Chai is the Hindi word for tea, and legends has it that an Indian King was hunting for a drink made from Ayurveda spices. It eventually became known as a healing drink called Kadha, containing a variety of spices throughou

'You can tell the difference': cathedral organ undergoes voicing procedure

It is all done by ear, requiring very quiet conditions. A person known as the Voicer assesses each pipe and tests each one repeatedly to ensure that the speech and volume levels are correct.

Compared to regularly tuning the pipes, which alters the pitch, voicing is about guiding the musical output of each pipe. Adjustments are made to each one to ensure that each note is not louder or softer than its neighbours.

Cathedral going green to boost biodiversity

Mr Green, 36, has worked at the Cathedral since 2020 and noticed how lockdown increased awareness of the environment and the Climate crisis and the need to adapt and be more eco-friendly.

He began the tour by walking to open space known as Mirabel between The Deanery and Pilgrims’ School. It is grassland, and the gardeners are changing how they manage it, turning it into a species-rich land instead of “thick tusky grass”, and one day it may become a wildflower meadow.
