IL PARCO DEL RESPIRO - FAI DELLA PAGANELLA

 IL PARCO DEL RESPIRO
THE PARK OF BREATH
THE SECRET OF THE FOREST THAT HEALS

The forest of Fai della Paganella where the Parco del Respiro was born is a place open to everyone, where the only ticket you have to pay is a "pact": to respect the forest, because each of us is responsible for its beauty, its cleanliness and its health, only in this way it can regenerate us and make us feel good as no other place can do. We are waiting for you!

Nature: generator of well-being, simple but effective practices to improve health conditions and experience the influence they have on the psycho-emotional, sensory, chemical and energetic level, creating what we can define a "Therapeutic Park for well-being" unique in Europe.
An opportunity to live in Fai della Paganella, in Trentino, within a beautiful beech forest: a natural oasis of beauty that is also a treasure trove of resources for human health.

Forest bathing

The "Forest Bathing" is a practice born in Japan under the name of "Shinrin Yoku" and is widespread in some countries of the Far East, where it plays a major role in preventive medicine.
Several scientific studies conducted in Japan and South Korea have shown that some volatile substances components of essential oils produced by different species of trees ("Phytoncides" or monoterpenes), if inhaled in sufficient dose and for an adequate period of time induce prolonged physiological changes in the human body such as reduction of stress, blood pressure, raising the immune system.
The practice consists of walks in the woods repeated on consecutive days, in order to breathe for several hours the air naturally enriched with therapeutic volatile substances emitted by some species of trees.

In the Fai della Paganella Breathing Park, the forest areas are to be considered for the greatest potential emission of monoterpenes, they are essentially attributable to areas with a predominance of beech trees. A large part of the Sentiero dei Reti trail crosses this forest formation, often mixed with spruce and Scots pine, and consecutively the Acqua e Faggi trail, which already develops almost completely in beech forest, has been extended northwards to the confluence of two streams.

Bioenergetic Landscapes

The technique called "Bioenergetic Landscapes" derives from recent studies in the field of bio-electromagnetism and allows to measure the biological influence that the weak energy fields emitted by various species of plants can exert on the functioning of our organs and systems.

With precise measurements in the field of microwaves we can verify that the emissions of trees placed in certain magnetic conditions of the place can favorably modify for a few meters the electromagnetic environment around them, favorably affecting the psycho-physical stress of the body and energetically feeding the organs of the human body, thus increasing the overall sense of well-being.

The empirical observation, conducted since ancient times and in virtually all cultures of our planet, that some places generate conditions more conducive to human health and well-being than others, finds today a rational explanation through this technique of investigation, whose effectiveness is confirmed in turn by advanced measurement techniques with instruments of bioresonance and bioelectrography.

Therapeutic Landscape

THE PSYCHO-EMOTIONAL IMPACT OF THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT

It is known that the green and the landscape are able to provide neurological, psychological and emotional nourishment to the body, as already expressed in 1984 by the sociobiologist E.O. Wilson with the famous concept of Biophilia. Since then, many university and clinical studies continue to demonstrate that frequenting woods, parks and gardens is capable of activating beneficial therapeutic responses at the psycho-emotional and therefore physical level. Recent research conducted in Sweden and Denmark, aimed at understanding the mechanisms of stress reduction through the so-called "Visitor's Mental Power", have shown that some elements of the green landscape are more incisive than others in acting favorably on certain mental models (archetypes) generated by our psyche, producing very favorable psychoemotional responses.

In the Parco del Respiro within the forest areas and along the paths you will find a variety of types of "environment-archetype" or "rooms" accessible and compatible with the structure and morphology of the place, in order to activate the maximum well-being that nature can give you.
These places offer their scenic natural backdrop for possible meetings ... study or work in groups, as well as a peaceful relaxation. Whether the stop is motivated by a mental engagement in nature (eg brainstorming), whether it has a purely recreational purpose, each context will have the task of restoring direct attention (refer to the theories of S. Kaplan in the 80s of last century) by reducing the consumption of mental energy, but also to provide adaptive physiological responses to the information of well-being that nature offers the visitor.
