Discover a new sensory experience with Modare Ultraconforto

Come and learn more about "forest bathing", a practice totally in favor of your self-care.

 

It is common for us to retire when the sun is not rising on the horizon and notice how much our senses are much more attracted by nature. Unlike hot days that instigate the desire to spend a lot of energy, a milder/cooler climate makes room for contemplation and self-discovery. And it offers the chance to reflect on what we want to cultivate and be thankful for the achievements so far.

If you know a safe and accessible park, or if you are lucky enough to have a garden/yard at home, these wooded areas are perfect for a wellness experience, adopting the exercise of enjoying the landscape. Or enjoy a complete sensory immersion, which is all about "forest bathing" (Shinrin-yoku). This is a Japanese practice that has become popular in Brazil and refers to being in nature in order to recover mental and emotional balance. Either through meditation or through a soothing walk. Cool, isn't it?

And we'll tell you something else: besides fitting into your self-care routine, "forest bathing" can improve your mood, strengthen your immune system, and reduce stress. They are even allies in helping you calm uncomfortable emotions, such as fear. The practice pushes us to be kind to ourselves and to our experiences and weaknesses.

"Forest bathing": how to get started?

Exploring the environment is also part of the concept of slow living. A lifestyle that values mindfulness. So, once you are in a favorite wooded spot, walk slowly and connect with your senses. Listen to your steps, your breath, and the birdsong, taking in all the sounds around you. Breathe in the air to recognize the wonderful smell of grass (even more so after rain) and the scents that flowers and fruits exude. Lean back against a tree, and allow feelings like support and stability to emerge, for example. If you commit and go at different times, observe colors and elements of the sky and clarity, creating a connection with nature's cycles to welcome the pulse of life and the seasons.

When hiking, always count on the shoes from Modare Ultraconforto! You may prefer the sports sneakers with an easy-fitting design, which has a satin fabric lining, protective foam on the heel, Gel Tech technology, and no seams, to provide comfort to your feet (ideal for diabetic women). Or choose the brand's new ankle boot, which offers essential comfort features such as an Ultracomfy insole (6.5 mm thick) and a grippy/stable sole, as well as a beautiful earthy tone (which soothes and comforts).

 

To keep your feet even more protected and warm, the brand has smart socks (no-show, invisible, or mid-cut models). They adapt to the anatomy of the feet, are ultra-soft, and maintain these qualities even after washing - which include the massaging points elaborated with Emana and Reflex Sense technologies.   And there's more: Modare Ultraconforto invests in sustainable practices, such as the use of green (renewable) energy and zero water waste in the production of its shoes. Vegan, products do not use raw materials of animal origin.
