Siboshelwe emadeskini, kubaqaphi bamakhompiyutha, asiwadedeli ama-smartphone, futhi izingcindezi zempilo yansuku zonke yasedolobheni ngezinye izikhathi zibonakala zingenakunqotshwa kithi. Ukuziphendukela kwemvelo kwabantu sekudlule iminyaka engaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-7, futhi ngaphansi kuka-0,1% waleso sikhathi sesichithwe sihlala emadolobheni - ngakho-ke kusenendlela ende okufanele siyihambe ukuze sizivumelanise ngokugcwele nezimo zasemadolobheni. Imizimba yethu yakhelwe ukuba iphile emvelweni.
Futhi lapha abangane bethu abahle bakudala - izihlahla ziyasiza. Iningi labantu lizwa umphumela opholile wokuchitha isikhathi ehlathini noma ngisho nasepaki eliseduze elizungezwe uhlaza. Ucwaningo olwenziwa eJapan lubonisa ukuthi empeleni kunesizathu salokhu - ukuchitha isikhathi emvelweni kusiza ngempela ukwelapha izingqondo nemizimba yethu.
EJapane, igama elithi “shinrin-yoku” seliyisisho esivamile. Ngokuhunyushwa ngokwezwi nezwi njengokuthi “ukugeza ihlathi”, ukuzicwilisa emvelweni ukuze uthuthukise inhlalakahle yakho - futhi sekuphenduke ukuzijabulisa kwezwe. Leli gama laqanjwa ngo-1982 nguNgqongqoshe Wezamahlathi u-Tomohide Akiyama, kwaqubula umkhankaso kahulumeni wokuqhakambisa amahlathi angamahektha ayizigidi ezingu-25 eJapane, akha u-67% womhlaba wezwe. Namuhla, ama-ejensi amaningi okuvakasha ahlinzeka ngohambo olubanzi lwe-shinrin-yoku ngezisekelo zokwelapha zamahlathi ezikhethekile kulo lonke elase-Japan. Umqondo uwukuvala ingqondo yakho, uncibilike ube yimvelo futhi uvumele izandla eziphulukisayo zehlathi zikunakekele.
Kungase kubonakale kusobala ukuthi ukuhlehla esimisweni sakho sansuku zonke kunciphisa amaphuzu akho okucindezeleka, kodwa ngokusho kuka-Yoshifumi Miyazaki, uprofesa waseChiba University kanye nomlobi wencwadi ekhuluma nge-shinrin-yoku, ukugeza ehlathini akugcini nje kunezinzuzo ezingokwengqondo, kodwa futhi nemiphumela yomzimba.
“Amazinga e-Cortisol ayenyuka uma ucindezelekile futhi ehle uma ukhululekile,” kusho uMiyazaki. “Sithole ukuthi uma uyozihambela ehlathini izinga le-cortisol liyehla, okusho ukuthi awubi nengcindezi.”
Lezi zinzuzo zezempilo zingahlala izinsuku ezimbalwa, okusho ukuthi i-detox yehlathi yamasonto onke ingakhuthaza inhlalakahle yesikhathi eside.
Ithimba likaMiyazaki likholelwa ukuthi ukugeza ehlathini kungathuthukisa amasosha omzimba, kusenze singangenwa kalula yizifo, izimila, kanye nengcindezi. “Njengamanje sifunda ngemiphumela ye-shinrin yoku ezigulini esezisengozini yokugula,” kusho uMiyazaki. "Kungaba uhlobo oluthile lokwelapha lokuvikela, futhi siqoqa imininingwane ngalokho njengamanje."
Uma ufuna ukuzijwayeza i-shinrin yoka, awudingi ukulungiswa okukhethekile - vele uye ehlathini eliseduze. Kodwa-ke, uMiyazaki uxwayisa ngokuthi kungabanda kakhulu emahlathini, futhi amakhaza aqeda imiphumela emihle yokugeza ihlathi - ngakho qiniseka ukuthi ugqoke ngokufudumele.
Uma ufika ehlathini, ungakhohlwa ukucisha ifoni yakho futhi usebenzise kahle izinzwa zakho ezinhlanu – buka indawo, thinta izihlahla, iphunga amagxolo nezimbali, lalela umsindo womoya namanzi, futhi ungakhohlwa ukuthatha ukudla okumnandi netiye nawe.
Uma ihlathi likude kakhulu nawe, ungalilahli ithemba. Ucwaningo luka-Miyazaki lubonisa ukuthi umphumela ofanayo ungafinyelelwa ngokuvakashela ipaki lendawo noma indawo eluhlaza, noma ngokumane ubonise izitshalo zasendlini kudeskithophu yakho. "Imininingwane ikhombisa ukuthi ukuya ehlathini kunomphumela onamandla kakhulu, kepha kuzoba nemiphumela emihle ngokomzimba ngokuvakashela ipaki lendawo noma ukukhulisa izimbali nezitshalo zasendlini, okuyinto, eqinisweni, elula kakhulu."
Uma ufisa ngempela amandla okuphulukisa asehlathini kodwa ungakwazi ukubalekela idolobha, ucwaningo lukaMiyazaki lubonisa ukuthi ukubuka nje izithombe noma amavidiyo ezindawo zemvelo nakho kunomphumela omuhle, nakuba kungasebenzi kangako. Zama ukusesha amavidiyo afanelekile ku-YouTube uma udinga ukuthatha ikhefu futhi uphumule.
Isintu siphile izinkulungwane zeminyaka endaweni evulekile, ngaphandle kwezindonga zamatshe eziphakeme. Impilo yasedolobheni isinikeze zonke izinhlobo zokunethezeka kanye nezinzuzo zezempilo, kodwa ngaso sonke isikhathi kufanelekile ukukhumbula izimpande zethu futhi sixhumane nemvelo ukuze sithuthukise kancane.
