The guy in Heilung throat singing is a real shaman. So what you and many others, including myself, feel is spiritual connection. I feel like it opens up wounds that we never thought we had, so that we can heal them through the sort of guided meditation that is their music.
I do love Heilung and what they are doing to help us hold on to the memory and/or spirit of our ancestors that we have almost lost all information about. And I do connect to every performer through there incredible musical talents. But what do you mean by "real shaman"? magical powers? does he have a degree in shamanism? Isn't he just a guy who found a connection to an old world and is excellent at sharing that connection or what shamans actually did... someone who gathers wisdom and knowledge to share with his people. I am sure these men felt magical but these are just men that are, perhaps, excellent at expressing themselves Kai Uwe Faust doesn't need magic to be amazing, if you feel a spiritual connection to him, then that's all him, no woo woo required I am on the other hand open to the possibility of genetic memories lighting up because tribal is who we are and evolved as. modern culture and behavior is just what we very recently decided to do (were forced to do)
@@tobbi11 actually Kai Uwe Faust is a reference in European neo shamanism and has studied and been initiated in different shamanism lineages (siberian, nordic, celtic, Shipibo - peruvian indigenous, Red Road - north american indigenous shamanism etc)
@@milohobo9186 and the magic is, you don't feel a sadness necessarily, just a connection to so much more, really deep primal stuff. Can leave me sobbing as well. I love it.
Your not alone brother. I broke down during alfadhirhaiti live in London 2022 as it resonated with the passing of my brother who committed suicide. When it DROPS around 2:45 The beat of the drums and powerful vocals matched the beat of my feet carrying his coffin to his final home but it also gave me closure. Heilung truly mean everything to me, spiritually and emotionally they just unlock that primal state inside of me, I've just seen them at download festival last Friday and have already booked tickets when they return to London next April. Truly one of a kind❤
I kinda think of them as the physical embodiment of Touch Grass. We could all stand a reset to the basic primary fundamental natural state of being. 🖖🏻🤘🏻 My dad always said we'd find more God sitting on a hillside watching the sunrise during deer season. Then, any churchgoers can. Wish you well on your journey. Enlightenment often comes to those who stop seeking it, and start living it.
When I’m asked what religion I follow… I tell them the one that’s doesn’t divide. I feel like we are pushed to be so divided with politics, religion & money… I could never understand why. Raised as a Christian I never felt connected, finding Heilung in 2018 was the first time I felt completely connected in a way I can’t explain. I lost a grandson during birth May 2022… I didn’t think I could handle the pain not only of the loss, but my kids. Watching them during the birth & the screams of sorrow after, nobody should have to live through that pain… I was so angry inside. The week after I put my ear buds in & stood in the freezing ocean blasting Lifa… that connection that has no words released that fear & hurt. I knew everything was for a reason, I could feel it!!! Here we are now with our rainbow grandson that will join us March & my kids are stronger then ever. You touched me in this video… Thank you!!! I understand exactly what you were explaining… I’m so thankful for finding Heilung. ♥️♥️♥️
First, thank you for being here. 2nd, thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your story. I agree, this is so much more than music. It touches on such a deep level.
Your story resonates with me. When I was 10 or 11 (this was back in the 70's) and I stopped going to church, I chose the path of 'The Forest'. I do not play music when I'm out in nature, but I listen to the natural music nature provides. Just the other day I stopped and listened to leaves falling for about five minutes where there were no other background sounds, it was incredible and soul satisfying. You are heard Brother, follow your heart and soul.
Same here, brothers. Since I was a kid I spend most of my time in the forest. Also raised as a Christian. Nature is magic. It calms you down, let you see sounds, let you hear live. When you know it you know it, it's hard to explain. We are everywhere. I love you all!
After unexpectedly losing our son, I lost all my christian faith, all my ancestors from what I know were pagans. I stumbled across Heilung Anoana and the music stirred something within my soul, I now find peace and solitude in nature. Ironically, Anoana was the protector of nature in Germanic or Norse not sure which mythology.
Sounds like you have had a very deep primal awaking. Their music has touched the very core of your being. Embrace it and more will come. This is very powerful music. Stirs the very soul of your being. It's not brain thing, it's a heart thing. Once again, embrace it.
You need to see them live. I've been to tons of metal/rock shows, but Heilung is different. It is much closer to a spiritual/religious experience. It is the only show I've been to that brought tears to my eyes.
Seeing them live is always like an out of body experience for me. And I cry everytime. Great reaction again, I appreciate it when people don't fear to share their raw emotions with other. Hugs to you, life is hard enough.. And I love that artist like Heilung (even German for 'healing') exist, 'cause for me it's like grounding myself and spirit again and feeling one with nature, where we come from
*Sir, you are not the only one to have emotional reactions of the intense longing for .... something else ... that this marvellous song inspires. I myself wept openly when hearing it for the first time. The song is outer worldly*
If I may be blunt, YOU are magical. The things you are seeking are inside you. The path that we walk is personal to each of us, you just have to have faith in yourself, that you will find what you are looking for.
that's all normal awakening friend the senses, the thought's, emotions and insights arise and gives you a glimpse of what is possible as a true human all the best to all 🎉
Welcome home. I found Heilung shortly after getting my DNA done and searched for some of my more ancient heritage as I'm Celt, Dane/Swede and Northern Germanic for the most part. Heilung woke up something *deep* inside me. It's as if I can feel every human heart beating in synch with my own. I feel more connected and whole. As a lifelong sufferer of depression of varying degrees I do feel that ancient music helps the mind heal, like a defibrillator for my brain to reset my natural rhythm.
It has been a wild journey. I will never forget my first reaction and it blew me away. My grandmother is full Cherokee native american, and the rest of my family is Dutch and German.I have wanted to dive deeper into it to really look within myself.
@@TheWolffAndTheMelody please, you need to watch a video uploaded a couple of weeks ago from a Heilung concert 'Vikings and Native Americans dance in unity'. This isn't a reaction request, just an ask from me to you. I feel you need to keep this personal experience.
It doesn’t make sense because it needs to be felt in your soul not in your mind. It is your time to open yourself to the spirit of the universe, you know this because you feel it coming. 🖤
I can guess music overall, like nothing before, has awakened the deepest core of your soul and you, my friend, have been open to give the proper attention to every single new feeling you've experienced. Let you soul enjoy and devour every single fragment of this process of reconnecting to your primal self. Quench your thirst of knowing it more. Much love ❤
I've searched for countless words to describe how good your reaction was, but they certainly aren't enough. I tend to think that Heilung isn't just a band, it's that they don't just make music, it's because of the way everyone there does it with their heart, as well as your reactions, from the first reaction it wasn't just a man watching a video, but rather a man, putting everything you feel, being as honest as possible, you are genuine, true, authentic, that's what makes you magical. It was great to understand how your faith was shaped over time and by events, it was great to understand your story of faith, and I am also extremely happy for your sincerity, for your courage in talking about such a personal subject, as well as making it well Of course, it respects individual beliefs. I confess that at the end of the video I cried a lot, but it was a cry of happiness.
Dude, thank you for the kind words. They uplifted my spirit alot! I have worked so hard to just be me, and express myself. I just know there is more and to grow more. Appreciate you friend.
I am a Christian and others might see me as strange but I do not find Heilung to be harmful. When I listen to them I find peace. They are REAL,and they live their lives the same way. They touch me in a way like no other group as ever touched me, I think they found me,and I will never be the same. I pray the same for you. I feel what you are saying and I am here for you.
i think the world interprets God and Jesus the wrong way. God is nature, God is all around us, he is the forest, he is the leaves, he is the spirit all around us. Heilung brings out the spirituality. Yeah they are pre-Christian band and sing pagan music but what you feel will be real and only your experience will be different from others (which is great). Im not religious,im also Christian i belive in God but no one will stop me in respecting and exporing humanities past even pre-Christian. Im Bulgarian and our culture dates back pre-Christianity and we use to believe in Tangra (pagan God) we are now Christian but there is something magical listening to our music (look up bulgarian magic voices, and you will experience something similar to what Heilung brings) . I believe that God is in the music, the voices and the way the songs are sung that gives you goosebumps
Being spiritually in-tune isnt a religion. I see what this music brings to u & ur right to feel the magic of the trees & the experience of every sense. Thats exactly what ppl have forgotten. Their emotional connection to nature. 💚 Good wishes to u at this powerful astrological time. Full moon Eclipse & Samhain.
@@TheWolffAndTheMelody Nero, Claudian dynasty.... left no heirs.. General Flavius took over as Roman Emperor. His son, Titus Flavius, wrote the bible with the help of Josephus. No bibles in Boudicca's time. Yet so much corruption since.
You are not alone. You perfectly described the feelings many of us have. I have walked a similar life path as you, very similar concerning religion. You are not alone. Much love from the studio.
This music does things to me, I cannot put my finger on it, but it almost awakens something, I’ve been going through grief for a while now, but this somehow gives me strength 🙌🏼🙌🏼, we’re always here for you too 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼
I can totally understand what you mean. My father passed away back in April and seeing Heilung live has really, really helped my soul. I still feel pretty good even after experiencing them over a week ago😊. I feel I need to dive deeper into shamanism, more so after a live ritual.
No words, deeply spiritual song, felt this in my soul. Thank you for this reaction. I have heard of this band, but had never listened. Need to listen to more of their music, this was amazing 🤩 🤩 🤩
This song makes me cry every time i hear it, i have no idea why. It's not sadness but some other overwhelming emotion i can't explain. I hope yor spiritual path will lead you to a good place. I love the thing you said about the forest. Here in Scandinavia it's one of the most secular places on earth and only a small number of people fo to church regularly, yet many would say they feel smth spiritual in nature or "the forest is my church" or smth like that. 🌲
I was extraordinary lucky to see Heilung live on Oct 23,2023 here in Clearwater,Florida. It was a truly amazing and spiritual experience. I will never forget that time and experience. ❤
Seeing them live in Denver on the 5th of November was and is such a profound experience. I still feel quite good whenever I think of that ritual or Heilung in general. On my way back home, I almost got emotional a few times. My soul needed to experience them live. Such a transcendental experience.😊
Tommy, sometimes the ego mind wants to make sense of things that have no explanation. Truth is, we need to 'feel' and accept with the soul. Music like this, transcends the logic, It speaks to us on a deep level because it awakens our very core to the memories of 'tribe' and our intrinsic connection to the Universe. In spite of all the 3D things in this modern world, we are sooo much more.. And to love..learning to love oneself first is the hardest thing to do..( not in an egotistical way you understand!) Love will then find you..I truly believe that! We are all on a quest of self discovery..it's not easy but it will be soo worth it ! Take care Tommy! Thankyou for your vulnerability..🤗🦋
I think what happens when we hear music like this (ancient and primal, in a language we don’t really understand) is that it speaks to us on a deeper level than mere words can convey. For people sensitive to emotion and the feel of things around you, music can absolutely spark that sensation within you, I’m the same way. Thank you for sharing your philosophy and journey with us as well. I’ve had a similar journey myself, and I know exactly how you feel. As I’ve gotten older, I find that it’s less about institutions and rules and doctrine, it’s more about relationships and how you deal with others. It’s so much more complex and intricate than any set of beliefs can really nail down. The thing that really helped me at my own crossroads is realizing that it’s all about people. Not about philosophy or theology, but how we relate to other people, and no matter what they believe or look like or behave, they’re all worthy of our love and respect as human beings. For me, the divine is evidenced by how we treat our fellow man. Am I perfect with this, hell no, but I try and try to make the right decisions when I’m faced with them.
I had a 6th row center seat at their show in Greensboro NC a few weeks ago. This and every other performance was indescribable! I already had high expectations but they were blown out of the water. I'm 79 and a frequent concert attender, this was the most mind blowing show I have ever seen.
The first time Heilung popped up was on Spotify after searching for nordic/viking/icelandic/etc. music. It feels like I’ve been listening to them for a long time when in reality it’s only been around 2 months. This song right here has to be the one I connect with the deepest. I’ve had many experiences, too many to remember, with spirits/ghosts/entities/etc. throughout my life. Inexplicable, really. Grew up Christian; one side extremely religious, to the point where they chose which things to believe and which to ignore; the other side verrrrry loosely spiritual. I, according to my Grandad and Nana (loosely spiritual), would tell stories of “the people walking around the house/yard/cemetery/etc.” and how they would tell me their life story; so much detail that only someone in their family would know. I live next to 3 cemeteries currently and the ground were on, I firmly believe, is/was an indigenous burial ground. There are (entities) in my apt; my wife isn’t a non-believer in such yet she also isn’t a believer. Somewhere in between. Always been called an old soul. When I go past a cemetery, I feel all the anger, anguish, sadness, all the emotions floating around. I find solace in those places, connected to the world. I can look at a picture/painting of just a field of grass and flowers and it evokes an emotion so profound that I have no words to describe it. My favorite kind place is a national park (nature mostly); I feel all the life that is and has been. It’s amazing, fills me with awe, I really don’t know how to describe all of it. But I’m damn sure glad I do.
I couldnt agree more that listening to Heilung can be a spiritual experience. Their live show is a full on healing spell they are performing every night. I was fortunate enough to see them in January of this year and it was an amazing experience which I hope to be part of again very soon. You seem to be on a path where you are looking for something bigger than yourself and are finding it in a personal place rather than what you are being fed and thats a hard but rewarding process. I hope you follow where it leads you to wherever you end up. Heilung and bands like them do help very much in this process as the right songs feel like they connect you with divinity. I myself am always brought to tears when listening to Helvegen by Wardruna, it just fills me with emotion every single time. I cant say that music such as this brought me to my faith as I was pagan many years before the bands formed but they have definitely helped me connect with my gods more since hearing them. I wish you everything you need to find the peace youre looking for.
Thank you so much for your input and encouragement. I've always been really sensitive to spiritual and supernatural things. Its just grown so much this year.
I totally get what you are saying here, the simple sublime beauty of the forest is where God resides. The exquisite beauty of the sky is God. The truth is that simple, it is just there, if only we would stop talking and look. You are such a cool dude. Take care
Thank you for the honesty and candor. I'm an atheist and I find "spirituality" to be a very real and natural phenomenon. We are in a privileged state to be aware of our place in nature. I feel like a part of it all.
As a man who has been through a lot of physical and mental anguish in the last 40 odd years, been wrapped up in Catholic prayer, which helped with my physical pain in the last 10 years, but always in the background was an obsession with the Occult, and pagan religions too. Found Heilung in the last year or so, and they've opened up a vast chasm under me. A chasm of beauty, emotional turmoil, and a gut wrenching realisation that my heart is in nature, in a connection with something earthy and pagan, and Heilung are the key. Not sure where I go from here. I love Jesus, and I love Nature, and I love the Nature God and Goddess. Listening to Heilung makes me want to bang a drum, chant, go into trances, and connect with old Gods and Godesses. My rational mind says it's a fantasy, but my heart and soul only come to life when I see and hear Heilung, or when I'm on the local Iron age hill in nature, or watching videos of people in trance states doing ritual. I long to find and join with people of the same mind. It might be a long journey, as I need to sort out my money problems, and my health, before i can contemplate finding and feeding my soul.
I'm with you. The one that comes to me is this, if I was a god I wouldn't want you to dive into anything else and tell you everything else is false...if I was a god. That's what comes to me personally. I know we are all on different paths, but I know being raised in around the Christian faith for almost 40 years and being told all things are false but that...it doesn't add up for me. Again this is what comes to my mind. I feel alive in nature and surrounded by trees. I feel peace and when i've been depressed and I get lost in the forest...I instantly feel better. When I was devout to the Christian faith, those were some of the loneliest years of my life. I hope no matter what you follow your soul and see where it leads.
@@TheWolffAndTheMelody Thanks for the reply. Yes, as the Bible says, 'I am a jealous God'. I tend to think any entity prone to jealousy is a very limited and unintelligent entity. One thing I have noticed, is that when one gets deep into Christianity, their lives often fall apart. Perhaps it's due to the nature of Christianity.....Suffering and carrying ones Cross, not retaliating to being abused and attacked etc. I'll admit that while praying, my physical pains were taken away. Was that God? I presume so. Was it the Christian God? Maybe not. I refuse to believe that all God's other than the Christian one are evil. I look at other cultures, with their rituals and trances, and I see the people getting what they need, spiritually and physically. The old ways, with their rituals, Gods, Mushrooms, Peyote, nature spirits, Demons etc, are just as valid, at least for me right now. Perhaps it's possible to become a follower of many systems, and ignore any one deities claims to be the 'only one'. It's pretty much universally believed that Good and Evil exist, and most religions are on the side of good. I think that, perhaps, is the only criteria that matters. Or maybe I'm wrong, and Jesus is the only way, and I'm going to burn in hell for my transgressions. But I don't think so 😎
@@TheWolffAndTheMelody And thank you for your kind wishes! Just wondered if there are other bands on your channel that have had similar impact? Love seeing the power of music on people.
There music is so deep seeded with emotional......just piercing spirituality. Being part native American I can feel this music in my soul. Brother I have made it clear in this community that I'm very much a athiest. With that said when I was in a coma about a decade ago something happened to me there that I will never be able to fully explain. I was asked to by friends so I actually filmed a bunch of videos on Tiktok telling the experience. All I will say is there is so.....SO much more.
Its my first time watching you and i loved this video. First off i must say, I was at this Ritual. In the crowd. And if you think the video is magical, being there experiencing this was beyond anything i have ever experienced. Your reaction is so pure, i once got taught to believe one way. And my spiritual journey took me elsewhere. Funnily enough with the Gods that Heilung evision and express. And this is an Awakening that's happening to so many people, Paganism is returning in a big way, to the point that Pre-Christian Faiths in general are the fastest growing religions outside of Christianity. So what you're feeling, I understand. Heilung is a movement, an expression. A voice among so many others, like Wardruna and others. Spiritual Awakening is happening. Be proud of it.
All i can say is that their band name couldn't be more perfect. Heilung = healing. Listening to their music over time has gradually mended my chipped and damaged soul in ways words fall short to describe. I imagine that when i do someday get to see them live i will weep profusely and no doubt experience something more profound than any faith could ever call forth from me.
Your spiritual awakening can be a powerful even, on occasion, a traumatic period in your life. As an old Witch I would suggest that you take care of yourself and don't let others tell you what to believe, trust your heart and find your own path. There are many kind and good people out there, but also there are those who like to feel power over others, they often set themselves up as, I suppose I might say "False Prophets". You see them in these Evangelical churches and yes even in some covens. My experience over many, many years is that your heart can guide you to YOUR true path better than listening to so called truth tellers who want to lead you. This is not to say that there are not those that we can seek out to help us along our individual path, but your path is individual to you hold true to your truth. Blessed Be! 🌒🌕🌘
@@TheWolffAndTheMelody No not on Insta that is for you young'uns I tend to struggle with much technology my Partner's daughter usually has to sort out the mobile telephone that I only recently acquired. I hope that as you walk your path that you find positive guides. Remember if something feels off or wrong, walk away, if you are meant to know a thing it will come back to be revealed when you are ready. We each have our own path to our own Truth there is no need to rush.
Heilung's music is pretty wild. I have been to a concert with them a couple of times when they have been through Denmark. Several of their concerts are like being part of a prehistoric ritual. It's not just music, it's a total performance 🙂
Your experience in life is so similar to mine. I feel like I understand where you are speaking from. I feel very at home in nature and I believe that music from Heilung taps into that primal side. I also find myself getting choked up randomly from the feeling of a presence. Its happened my whole life. Thank you for sharing your story, its good to know we are not alone in those feelings and experiences.
You should watch the official video. Absolutely brought me to tears. I was at this concert. Quite stunning. I’ve always loved this group of performers, but live it was mind and life altering.
For me it's not a coincidence that bands like Heilung join us on our journey of consciousness. I feel that humanity is on a very spiritual path. To see and feel your reaction makes me believe in a better world. A world in which humanity reflects on true values. Peace, love, trueness. Thanks a lot and may YOUR God bless you 🙏
THE CHILLS!!❤️🔥 Watching them live always feels like you accidentally stepped into a secret shamanic ritual while walking in the woods, you know what I mean? 😅
You made me cry... 🥺❤🔥 You speak straight through your heart, your soul... This music makes me the same things like to you. It opens something in me i can't explain. Something, what is very deep in me. I feel a lot of emotions. This music opens my old wounds and heals them at the same time. When i have some difficult decision, this music helps me a lot. And the nature too. 🌿🌲🐝 Thank you very much for that reactions! ❤
This is what Heilung is about. The healing of the soul, of our soul. We all have harsh moments in our live. I believe what we all are missing in our "modern and sophisticated" world is spiritualism. Why does myth and legend fascinate us? It is because not everything needs to be explained. We hurt, that makes us human, we cry that means can also feel joy. Crying is cathartic. Whenever I hear this song the last couple of days I cry, I cry becaue we all lost something, but I also cry because this is hope. We feel a change in ourself and it is good. We get our eyes opened to a world we lost the moment we stopped being children and became adults, because modern society forces us to kill this part of us, becaue it is "unproductiv" and doesn't fit in the capitalistic world we live in. Greed and selfishness are predominant in the world, because it is dangerously easy to be cruel and hateful, like a demon or a bad spirit posioning our thoughts and our soul. Being kind, respecting nature, respecting other and even ourself, that is what is truely importent. No, I don't think sharing your expierence with us is wrond. This song, no this music helps us confront things and share something beautiful. It is not weak to feel emotions. Only cowards repress it and laugh at others. You my friend are incredible strong, thank you for sharing this with us.
Oh my God! You have expressed what I've thought for years! I shy away from the construct of religion and man made rules and I'm extremely drawn to the peace and solitude of a misty forest, wow!!
I know exactly what you mean. I grew up in a strict denomination; my parents are loving but very much ingrained in the denomination. It was a fundamentalist/evangelical group and those man made rules, the legalism left me so hollow and empty, I lost myself. I lost the little girl who grew up on the farm in love with nature and I felt I’d always been trying to find her again. I so get what you mean! My bf is from Appalachia and I got to visit their family land in the hollers, and when I stepped on that land I felt as if I was home back on the farm again! That was my first step toward true healing. And once I found Heilung, more pieces fell into place. I write poetry like onion skins falling and this has allowed me to be so much more honest and raw (thank you also to Citizen Soldier!) and I have studied and listened and I now know where my beliefs are. I wanted to see Heilung as well but I couldn’t because of work too. I’m glad for your honesty, so many are in a similar place.
Seeing this group live was almost an out of body experience. What you feel through the videos is only a fraction of what you feel while you're there. If you ever get the chance to see them, do it. It will change your life.
I've had a very similar walk in my life. My upbringing was a lot like yours and I went from believing in God because of my upbringing, to becoming a full-blown atheist, to completely finding God again and completely believing with every fiber of my being. I had to humble myself completely and truly seek him before I could see the truth. I don't know why I feel compelled to tell you this, but God did not create evil and it's not in his will that we suffer. Darkness is the absence of light, cold is the absence of heat, evil is the absence of love and God. I'll be praying for you.
I saw this on RUclips a couple days before I *finally* got to see them in person yesterday. That drum and their voices hits so much harder in real life. I felt moved spiritually and physically. Seriously, that drum rearranged my organs. Very very surreal experience. Can't wait for them to come back.
Those drums! I have AFib and was sitting in 6 row Center. The Amplified sound from them affected my diaphragm so strongly I wondered if it was healthy for me, lol!
Heilung has the ability to transport you to the ritual they perform. The emotions the rituals evoke sometimes just simply can't be described. Maybe they don't need to be. Just felt.
They were in New Orleans last month; myself and two daughters attended the ritual, and it was an experience...unfortunately, a flawed one. Heilung was everything you could expect or hope for; some of the fans, however, were not. Sitting on the end of a row, this couple kept dancing in front of us in the walkway, blocking half the stage. We asked them to dance on the other side of the walkway, where they wouldn't block anyone. Their response? It was our fault for not getting up and dancing with them and blocking more people's view. Even after six others said something, house personnel wouldn't do anything because the performers told them to not stop people from dancing. We didn't want them to stop, we just wanted them to not do it in front of us. All that being said, it was an experience I would hope to partake in many, many more times.
I’ve struggled with faith and the feeling that I *had* to believe in something for nearly my whole life. My parents weren’t overly religious, we went to church because I think they thought it was the right thing to do. In high school I met a group of friends and got involved in a Baptist church. I learned through that church the division, hatred, judgment, and elitism that organized religion breeds. I spent a lot of years feeling I didn’t believe in anything, but underneath there was always a vibrating that I wanted to believe in something. At nearly 40 years old, I’ve found that that “something” most closely resonates with paganism. The earth nurtures me and holds me and I find so much comfort in the steadfastness that is the circle of life. The spirit music like Heilung’s awakens in me is what I need 🖤
You and I are in the same boat. I have always felt a deep pull to nature and the hidde. things of the earth. As Ive grown and gotten older...religion makes no sense to me. Im so glad you found your way and still growing. We are in this together.
I've never believed in a 'god' and have never had any spiritual feelings until I came across Heilung, and like you, it was only through these reaction videos that I found them. This live version of Anoana has stirred something inside that I cannot explain, something physical,but I don't know how to react. I only know it brings me a great deal of peace. I hope it has the same effect for you.
Brother...what you just described after watching this is almost exactly the kinda experiences I had growing up. Raised in a Pentecostal Christian church (my grandad was the founder of said church) but grew to loath and despise organized religion due to those experiences (my parents DID try to force it down my throat, so much more negative for me); but I've gone from hardcore atheist to more agnostic atheist as I've grown older (early 40s now), but I've always been drawn to the "other", the unseen and unknown, the intuitive and emotional. I too recall deep seeded connections to the woods and wilderness when I was a kid that has stuck with me through my entire life. Heilung have brought those feelings to the surface again.
Thank you so much for spending the time to talk to us from your heart. I was raised as a Methodist Christian, but I stopped believing as a child because I couldn't get a straight answer from the Vicar for any of my questions, which was not my experience at school with history teachers. Autism + dogma = ACCESS NONE ERROR GOTO FAIL
Whether or not there is a god or gods in it.. i would always choose the forest. Simply because i love forests and to feel how life lingers all around me without the stress and noise of mankind. Being in a forest with little to no sounds from mankind calms me down more than anything else. And Whenever i want to feel or experience even more i put on Heilung on my MP3-Player, sit down, and let be taken away by some, let's call it "ancient", somewhat mystical force. Once i went to the forest nearby, sat down and listened to Heilung (on just one ear, the other one open for the sound of nature) and i seriously was spiritually far far away, because the next thing i remember is, that it's gone dark (it was like 19:00 when i set off to the forest) and that Heilung wasn't playing anymore but Helheim (the following Band entry on my list) blasted my ear. All 3:40 of Heilung playtime played through and i can remember shit. :D Was a fkn great exprience for what music can do. I Love Heilung's ritualistic/shamanistic (Kai) background and for being able to create art that lets me experience something spiritual that seems to be very, very deep hidden inside me. Mankind invented technology and evolved technology to it's current state, but mankind itself didn't evolve as fast with technology. We're still the same as we were 20,000 years ago. But technology made us forget that we need nature to relax our souls and senses, imo. I can only suggest to go somewhere where mankinds noises don't reach you and listen to Heilung, be open for anything that happens. Maybe you'll experience what i did, maybe not, but for sure you'll feel something deep within.
It’s hard for me to explain but when I listen to this music I feel like something sleeping inside me stirs for just a moment. Something dormant. Some kind of primal connection that all humans have deep deep down but have simply forgotten over time. It feels like true living. Power I never knew I had. I don’t know.
Top reaction as always 🤘I can't remember seeing anything enchanting like this in a live performance recording. The mixture of the stage design, the lights, the smooth choreography, the instruments, the background singer's, Kai-Uwe's and especially Maria's voices triggers my primal instincts and something I can't describe, the term "goosebumps" is no longer enough for this. I hope to see them live soon. Greetings from Germany 🖤
BTW. Heilung means "Healing". They bless us with their existence. I've been a fan for a while, but my cats freak out with some of the tones. Elizabeth of the The Charismatic Voice channel did an excellent interview with some of them. You will love it as you get so much more context for what they are about. Worth noting that they are on bandcamp so you can get their albums in full-fat FLAC and ALAC.
This is something we need. ... Roots we all .. accept. The Root bound as all. And we shall follow it. We all Brothers and Sisters. Is (heilung) talk to our heart Your heart is connected to other Hearts.
Kitos to you. You are wonderful human and your reaction is normal for me. This music can move very deeply and that's normal too. Basic thing is to be good and responsible person. Big hug to you.
I watch a lot of music reaction channels. But you're one of the very few I follow. And this video is a perfect example of why I'm following you. Heilung is an experience. During your video, I felt like a wave of chills when she started singing, like an unbearably crushing weight and at the same time an incredibly liberating feeling of lightness. From my shoulders to my ankles. Happens rarely, but happens with Heilung, Wardruna, Ren and Lovebites/Nemophila. That's precisely why I continue to be alive.
thank you friend so much for those words. I'm glad these videos are a light to people! I agree. Right when the music hit, something washed over me. It was wild.
thanks for your reactions! and for your feelings man! seeing those who are getting to know Heilung for the first time is something just as incredible as when you did it yourself for the first time! it's something that flows through us! and they fucking found the key to it!
And again a jaw dropping experience. The official video was something but this life performance got instant chills. Exceptionally good and moving. I more and more liking your reactions. Honesty and what the music does to you is priority. Not the the quantity of views and/or subscriptions. Keep the good work going Tommy. (spelling of your name is correct, or?) Greetz from The Netherlands
The feeling that is brought on through this type of music is beyond ideological written words. There are truths and simplicity to this ephemeral experience, most of the things people are indoctrinated with impede on the true beauty of what lies in front of them.
Heilung is the real deal. Not a band, true ceremonies, all of their instruments are hand made, and they speak in Olde Germanic, and speaks to Old souls. My favorite is Noropo . It is ok to walk in the gray area, without being left or right, good or bad, bitter or all loving. I call it source, the whole, you experiance the world, within the world, as I do. BIG HUGS TO YOU!! I have been surrounded by the paranormal and supernatural my entire life, I have so many life experiences, I could write a novel ,lol Happy Halloween
Maria Franz is just amazing singer, as hypnotic as Nightwish's lead female singer, Tarja Turunen. Which I have been calling as Siren of Finland. There's been other singers too on Nightwish, Floor Jansen which is Dutch she is amazing with high notes, and Anette Olzon Swedish.
I was there that night, first time i went to see them, blown away doesnt begin to describe how i felt..i was sent to another world, or perhaps back in time ❤
This is our roots, that’s why you feel it inside you.
The guy in Heilung throat singing is a real shaman. So what you and many others, including myself, feel is spiritual connection. I feel like it opens up wounds that we never thought we had, so that we can heal them through the sort of guided meditation that is their music.
My God! What you wrote makes a lot of sense.
That makes so much sense yea! i was wondering myself if he was or not.
Yes i agree, its like they have found out the right "buttons" to waking us up, something we have forgotten?
I do love Heilung and what they are doing to help us hold on to the memory and/or spirit of our ancestors that we have almost lost all information about. And I do connect to every performer through there incredible musical talents.
But what do you mean by "real shaman"? magical powers? does he have a degree in shamanism?
Isn't he just a guy who found a connection to an old world and is excellent at sharing that connection or what shamans actually did... someone who gathers wisdom and knowledge to share with his people.
I am sure these men felt magical but these are just men that are, perhaps, excellent at expressing themselves
Kai Uwe Faust doesn't need magic to be amazing, if you feel a spiritual connection to him, then that's all him, no woo woo required
I am on the other hand open to the possibility of genetic memories lighting up because tribal is who we are and evolved as.
modern culture and behavior is just what we very recently decided to do (were forced to do)
@@tobbi11 actually Kai Uwe Faust is a reference in European neo shamanism and has studied and been initiated in different shamanism lineages (siberian, nordic, celtic, Shipibo - peruvian indigenous, Red Road - north american indigenous shamanism etc)
Thank you for sitting in silence while your processed. It’s refreshing to watch.
much love friend.
i was there in Hammersmith for this experience,
32 year old man . I cry every time I watch this. Not ashamed. This music is as close to a religious experience as I'm ever likely to get.
Oh I cry a ton lol
I am 38 in only a few days and I cry to this music too. A good chest heaving cry with blinding tears.
@@milohobo9186 and the magic is, you don't feel a sadness necessarily, just a connection to so much more, really deep primal stuff. Can leave me sobbing as well. I love it.
Your not alone brother. I broke down during alfadhirhaiti live in London 2022 as it resonated with the passing of my brother who committed suicide. When it DROPS around 2:45 The beat of the drums and powerful vocals matched the beat of my feet carrying his coffin to his final home but it also gave me closure. Heilung truly mean everything to me, spiritually and emotionally they just unlock that primal state inside of me, I've just seen them at download festival last Friday and have already booked tickets when they return to London next April. Truly one of a kind❤
💯 every time
Maria Franz has the voice of an angel!
She really does
Maybe not an angel's voice, but the voice of a Valkyrie)
I kinda think of them as the physical embodiment of Touch Grass. We could all stand a reset to the basic primary fundamental natural state of being. 🖖🏻🤘🏻
My dad always said we'd find more God sitting on a hillside watching the sunrise during deer season. Then, any churchgoers can. Wish you well on your journey. Enlightenment often comes to those who stop seeking it, and start living it.
I can see that! I have always felt drawn to the forest
When I’m asked what religion I follow… I tell them the one that’s doesn’t divide. I feel like we are pushed to be so divided with politics, religion & money… I could never understand why. Raised as a Christian I never felt connected, finding Heilung in 2018 was the first time I felt completely connected in a way I can’t explain. I lost a grandson during birth May 2022… I didn’t think I could handle the pain not only of the loss, but my kids. Watching them during the birth & the screams of sorrow after, nobody should have to live through that pain… I was so angry inside. The week after I put my ear buds in & stood in the freezing ocean blasting Lifa… that connection that has no words released that fear & hurt. I knew everything was for a reason, I could feel it!!! Here we are now with our rainbow grandson that will join us March & my kids are stronger then ever.
You touched me in this video… Thank you!!! I understand exactly what you were explaining… I’m so thankful for finding Heilung. ♥️♥️♥️
First, thank you for being here. 2nd, thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your story. I agree, this is so much more than music. It touches on such a deep level.
Saw their ritual for the first time in Sweden 2022... Now booked in September in Germany! thats how much I love Heilung.
I should be able to see my first ritual at Paris this September 💚💚💚
Same here I will also see them next week.
@@lordheimdallr Great! I booked them again but in Sweden haha
Your story resonates with me. When I was 10 or 11 (this was back in the 70's) and I stopped going to church, I chose the path of 'The Forest'. I do not play music when I'm out in nature, but I listen to the natural music nature provides. Just the other day I stopped and listened to leaves falling for about five minutes where there were no other background sounds, it was incredible and soul satisfying. You are heard Brother, follow your heart and soul.
dude much love friend! I was sitting under the stars last night after work in a graveyard across the street from my apartment. It was just so calming.
Same here, brothers. Since I was a kid I spend most of my time in the forest. Also raised as a Christian. Nature is magic. It calms you down, let you see sounds, let you hear live.
When you know it you know it, it's hard to explain. We are everywhere. I love you all!
After unexpectedly losing our son, I lost all my christian faith, all my ancestors from what I know were pagans. I stumbled across Heilung Anoana and the music stirred something within my soul, I now find peace and solitude in nature. Ironically, Anoana was the protector of nature in Germanic or Norse not sure which mythology.
Sounds like you have had a very deep primal awaking. Their music has touched the very core of your being. Embrace it and more will come. This is very powerful music. Stirs the very soul of your being. It's not brain thing, it's a heart thing. Once again, embrace it.
Now that’s what they call an happening it’s your ancestors calling.
That intro about how Heilung has changed you really hit home for me. I experienced the exact same thing.
Yes, for me too
I discovered Heilung while backpacking the Appalachian Trail. Was camping on top of Max Patch eating mushrooms, I would recommend it.
I love that. I live near the AT in MD
When you see them live, it's like the first song starts, you inhale, then you exhale and it's been 2 hours.
You need to see them live. I've been to tons of metal/rock shows, but Heilung is different. It is much closer to a spiritual/religious experience. It is the only show I've been to that brought tears to my eyes.
Seeing them live is always like an out of body experience for me. And I cry everytime. Great reaction again, I appreciate it when people don't fear to share their raw emotions with other. Hugs to you, life is hard enough.. And I love that artist like Heilung (even German for 'healing') exist, 'cause for me it's like grounding myself and spirit again and feeling one with nature, where we come from
Much love you beautiful human! I'm so glad you are here friend.
Crazy how a couple of hours can help you get over half a lifetime of major issues and hang-ups. Same.
I’m going to see them at the Shrine in LA on Dec 11th. Can’t wait.
*Sir, you are not the only one to have emotional reactions of the intense longing for .... something else ... that this marvellous song inspires. I myself wept openly when hearing it for the first time. The song is outer worldly*
Yes! This song always gets me.
If I may be blunt, YOU are magical. The things you are seeking are inside you. The path that we walk is personal to each of us, you just have to have faith in yourself, that you will find what you are looking for.
thank you friend. I feel that journey is getting deeper inside me.
that's all normal awakening friend
the senses, the thought's, emotions and insights arise and gives you a glimpse of what is possible
as a true human
all the best to all 🎉
Welcome home.
I found Heilung shortly after getting my DNA done and searched for some of my more ancient heritage as I'm Celt, Dane/Swede and Northern Germanic for the most part. Heilung woke up something *deep* inside me. It's as if I can feel every human heart beating in synch with my own. I feel more connected and whole. As a lifelong sufferer of depression of varying degrees I do feel that ancient music helps the mind heal, like a defibrillator for my brain to reset my natural rhythm.
It has been a wild journey. I will never forget my first reaction and it blew me away. My grandmother is full Cherokee native american, and the rest of my family is Dutch and German.I have wanted to dive deeper into it to really look within myself.
@@TheWolffAndTheMelody please, you need to watch a video uploaded a couple of weeks ago from a Heilung concert 'Vikings and Native Americans dance in unity'. This isn't a reaction request, just an ask from me to you. I feel you need to keep this personal experience.
ohhhhh that sounds amazing! Thank you@@Middle-Road.Kim.K
Tommy, you sound like such a mystical being and that Great Spirit is calling you. May you always follow your path.
I have to walk it! Lets go.
It doesn’t make sense because it needs to be felt in your soul not in your mind. It is your time to open yourself to the spirit of the universe, you know this because you feel it coming. 🖤
I can guess music overall, like nothing before, has awakened the deepest core of your soul and you, my friend, have been open to give the proper attention to every single new feeling you've experienced. Let you soul enjoy and devour every single fragment of this process of reconnecting to your primal self. Quench your thirst of knowing it more. Much love ❤
One day, I will tell you whats going on
I've searched for countless words to describe how good your reaction was, but they certainly aren't enough. I tend to think that Heilung isn't just a band, it's that they don't just make music, it's because of the way everyone there does it with their heart, as well as your reactions, from the first reaction it wasn't just a man watching a video, but rather a man, putting everything you feel, being as honest as possible, you are genuine, true, authentic, that's what makes you magical. It was great to understand how your faith was shaped over time and by events, it was great to understand your story of faith, and I am also extremely happy for your sincerity, for your courage in talking about such a personal subject, as well as making it well Of course, it respects individual beliefs. I confess that at the end of the video I cried a lot, but it was a cry of happiness.
Dude, thank you for the kind words. They uplifted my spirit alot! I have worked so hard to just be me, and express myself. I just know there is more and to grow more. Appreciate you friend.
Heilung means healing and its made for it. u have a good heard. greetings from good old germania
much love my friend
I am a Christian and others might see me as strange but I do not find Heilung to be harmful. When I listen to them I find peace. They are REAL,and they live their lives the same way. They touch me in a way like no other group as ever touched me, I think they found me,and I will never be the same. I pray the same for you. I feel what you are saying and I am here for you.
I appreciste the kind words friend!
i think the world interprets God and Jesus the wrong way. God is nature, God is all around us, he is the forest, he is the leaves, he is the spirit all around us. Heilung brings out the spirituality. Yeah they are pre-Christian band and sing pagan music but what you feel will be real and only your experience will be different from others (which is great). Im not religious,im also Christian i belive in God but no one will stop me in respecting and exporing humanities past even pre-Christian. Im Bulgarian and our culture dates back pre-Christianity and we use to believe in Tangra (pagan God) we are now Christian but there is something magical listening to our music (look up bulgarian magic voices, and you will experience something similar to what Heilung brings) . I believe that God is in the music, the voices and the way the songs are sung that gives you goosebumps
Being spiritually in-tune isnt a religion.
I see what this music brings to u & ur right to feel the magic of the trees & the experience of every sense. Thats exactly what ppl have forgotten.
Their emotional connection to nature. 💚
Good wishes to u at this powerful astrological time. Full moon Eclipse & Samhain.
thank you friend for being vulnerable and sharing with me part of your story. I want to learn more.
@@TheWolffAndTheMelody Nero, Claudian dynasty.... left no heirs.. General Flavius took over as Roman Emperor. His son, Titus Flavius, wrote the bible with the help of Josephus. No bibles in Boudicca's time. Yet so much corruption since.
You are not alone. You perfectly described the feelings many of us have. I have walked a similar life path as you, very similar concerning religion. You are not alone. Much love from the studio.
I appreciate the kind words so much. Much love!
This music does things to me, I cannot put my finger on it, but it almost awakens something, I’ve been going through grief for a while now, but this somehow gives me strength 🙌🏼🙌🏼, we’re always here for you too 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼
Stuart, this song and Nikkal hit me so hard
I can totally understand what you mean. My father passed away back in April and seeing Heilung live has really, really helped my soul. I still feel pretty good even after experiencing them over a week ago😊. I feel I need to dive deeper into shamanism, more so after a live ritual.
No words, deeply spiritual song, felt this in my soul. Thank you for this reaction. I have heard of this band, but had never listened. Need to listen to more of their music, this was amazing 🤩 🤩 🤩
just saw them live. WOW. words can not express the experience.
This song makes me cry every time i hear it, i have no idea why. It's not sadness but some other overwhelming emotion i can't explain. I hope yor spiritual path will lead you to a good place. I love the thing you said about the forest. Here in Scandinavia it's one of the most secular places on earth and only a small number of people fo to church regularly, yet many would say they feel smth spiritual in nature or "the forest is my church" or smth like that. 🌲
DUDE SAME!!!! I will be driving and listening to this and I just cry. I'am headed to a good place, your coming with me.
Glad to be with you on the journey@@TheWolffAndTheMelody
I was extraordinary lucky to see Heilung live on Oct 23,2023 here in Clearwater,Florida. It was a truly amazing and spiritual experience. I will never forget that time and experience. ❤
Seeing them live in Denver on the 5th of November was and is such a profound experience. I still feel quite good whenever I think of that ritual or Heilung in general.
On my way back home, I almost got emotional a few times. My soul needed to experience them live. Such a transcendental experience.😊
I listen to them everyday! There is something special with them.
@@TheWolffAndTheMelody Truly they are more than just a band!
Saw them live on Friday. It was a pure, visceral, community experience. One of the best I’ve ever seen.
I can imagine. I will see them one time.
Tommy, sometimes the ego mind wants to make sense of things that have no explanation. Truth is, we need to 'feel' and accept with the soul.
Music like this, transcends the logic,
It speaks to us on a deep level because it awakens our very core to the memories of 'tribe' and our intrinsic connection to the Universe. In spite of all the 3D things in this modern world, we are sooo much more..
And to love..learning to love oneself first is the hardest thing to do..( not in an egotistical way you understand!) Love will then find you..I truly believe that! We are all on a quest of self
discovery..it's not easy but it will be soo worth it ! Take care Tommy! Thankyou for your vulnerability..🤗🦋
We are going to find it...I just know it
I think what happens when we hear music like this (ancient and primal, in a language we don’t really understand) is that it speaks to us on a deeper level than mere words can convey. For people sensitive to emotion and the feel of things around you, music can absolutely spark that sensation within you, I’m the same way.
Thank you for sharing your philosophy and journey with us as well. I’ve had a similar journey myself, and I know exactly how you feel. As I’ve gotten older, I find that it’s less about institutions and rules and doctrine, it’s more about relationships and how you deal with others. It’s so much more complex and intricate than any set of beliefs can really nail down. The thing that really helped me at my own crossroads is realizing that it’s all about people. Not about philosophy or theology, but how we relate to other people, and no matter what they believe or look like or behave, they’re all worthy of our love and respect as human beings. For me, the divine is evidenced by how we treat our fellow man. Am I perfect with this, hell no, but I try and try to make the right decisions when I’m faced with them.
YEsss you get what I mean. Its so refreshing to know i'm not alone!
0:04:45 was an angel's trumpet to the crown chakra
Cannot stop watching Anoana live - its music I feel rather than hear. Its touching something deep in my soul.
I had a 6th row center seat at their show in Greensboro NC a few weeks ago. This and every other performance was indescribable! I already had high expectations but they were blown out of the water. I'm 79 and a frequent concert attender, this was the most mind blowing show I have ever seen.
My friend saw them and called me right after the show. He said it was insane!
The first time Heilung popped up was on Spotify after searching for nordic/viking/icelandic/etc. music.
It feels like I’ve been listening to them for a long time when in reality it’s only been around 2 months.
This song right here has to be the one I connect with the deepest.
I’ve had many experiences, too many to remember, with spirits/ghosts/entities/etc. throughout my life. Inexplicable, really.
Grew up Christian; one side extremely religious, to the point where they chose which things to believe and which to ignore; the other side verrrrry loosely spiritual.
I, according to my Grandad and Nana (loosely spiritual), would tell stories of “the people walking around the house/yard/cemetery/etc.” and how they would tell me their life story; so much detail that only someone in their family would know.
I live next to 3 cemeteries currently and the ground were on, I firmly believe, is/was an indigenous burial ground.
There are (entities) in my apt; my wife isn’t a non-believer in such yet she also isn’t a believer. Somewhere in between.
Always been called an old soul.
When I go past a cemetery, I feel all the anger, anguish, sadness, all the emotions floating around. I find solace in those places, connected to the world.
I can look at a picture/painting of just a field of grass and flowers and it evokes an emotion so profound that I have no words to describe it.
My favorite kind place is a national park (nature mostly); I feel all the life that is and has been.
It’s amazing, fills me with awe, I really don’t know how to describe all of it. But I’m damn sure glad I do.
I couldnt agree more that listening to Heilung can be a spiritual experience. Their live show is a full on healing spell they are performing every night. I was fortunate enough to see them in January of this year and it was an amazing experience which I hope to be part of again very soon.
You seem to be on a path where you are looking for something bigger than yourself and are finding it in a personal place rather than what you are being fed and thats a hard but rewarding process. I hope you follow where it leads you to wherever you end up. Heilung and bands like them do help very much in this process as the right songs feel like they connect you with divinity.
I myself am always brought to tears when listening to Helvegen by Wardruna, it just fills me with emotion every single time.
I cant say that music such as this brought me to my faith as I was pagan many years before the bands formed but they have definitely helped me connect with my gods more since hearing them.
I wish you everything you need to find the peace youre looking for.
Thank you so much for your input and encouragement. I've always been really sensitive to spiritual and supernatural things. Its just grown so much this year.
I totally get what you are saying here, the simple sublime beauty of the forest is where God resides. The exquisite beauty of the sky is God. The truth is that simple, it is just there, if only we would stop talking and look. You are such a cool dude. Take care
Thank you for the honesty and candor. I'm an atheist and I find "spirituality" to be a very real and natural phenomenon. We are in a privileged state to be aware of our place in nature. I feel like a part of it all.
As a man who has been through a lot of physical and mental anguish in the last 40 odd years, been wrapped up in Catholic prayer, which helped with my physical pain in the last 10 years, but always in the background was an obsession with the Occult, and pagan religions too. Found Heilung in the last year or so, and they've opened up a vast chasm under me. A chasm of beauty, emotional turmoil, and a gut wrenching realisation that my heart is in nature, in a connection with something earthy and pagan, and Heilung are the key.
Not sure where I go from here. I love Jesus, and I love Nature, and I love the Nature God and Goddess.
Listening to Heilung makes me want to bang a drum, chant, go into trances, and connect with old Gods and Godesses.
My rational mind says it's a fantasy, but my heart and soul only come to life when I see and hear Heilung, or when I'm on the local Iron age hill in nature, or watching videos of people in trance states doing ritual.
I long to find and join with people of the same mind.
It might be a long journey, as I need to sort out my money problems, and my health, before i can contemplate finding and feeding my soul.
I'm with you. The one that comes to me is this, if I was a god I wouldn't want you to dive into anything else and tell you everything else is false...if I was a god. That's what comes to me personally. I know we are all on different paths, but I know being raised in around the Christian faith for almost 40 years and being told all things are false but that...it doesn't add up for me.
Again this is what comes to my mind. I feel alive in nature and surrounded by trees. I feel peace and when i've been depressed and I get lost in the forest...I instantly feel better. When I was devout to the Christian faith, those were some of the loneliest years of my life.
I hope no matter what you follow your soul and see where it leads.
@@TheWolffAndTheMelody Thanks for the reply. Yes, as the Bible says, 'I am a jealous God'.
I tend to think any entity prone to jealousy is a very limited and unintelligent entity.
One thing I have noticed, is that when one gets deep into Christianity, their lives often fall apart. Perhaps it's due to the nature of Christianity.....Suffering and carrying ones Cross, not retaliating to being abused and attacked etc.
I'll admit that while praying, my physical pains were taken away. Was that God? I presume so. Was it the Christian God? Maybe not.
I refuse to believe that all God's other than the Christian one are evil.
I look at other cultures, with their rituals and trances, and I see the people getting what they need, spiritually and physically.
The old ways, with their rituals, Gods, Mushrooms, Peyote, nature spirits, Demons etc, are just as valid, at least for me right now.
Perhaps it's possible to become a follower of many systems, and ignore any one deities claims to be the 'only one'.
It's pretty much universally believed that Good and Evil exist, and most religions are on the side of good. I think that, perhaps, is the only criteria that matters.
Or maybe I'm wrong, and Jesus is the only way, and I'm going to burn in hell for my transgressions.
But I don't think so 😎
@@TheWolffAndTheMelody And thank you for your kind wishes!
Just wondered if there are other bands on your channel that have had similar impact? Love seeing the power of music on people.
There music is so deep seeded with emotional......just piercing spirituality. Being part native American I can feel this music in my soul. Brother I have made it clear in this community that I'm very much a athiest. With that said when I was in a coma about a decade ago something happened to me there that I will never be able to fully explain. I was asked to by friends so I actually filmed a bunch of videos on Tiktok telling the experience. All I will say is there is so.....SO much more.
Check out Eagle Brother (Mari Boine )live at Oslo Opera house.👌
@@rolfjamne8922 I will. Thank you.
Appreciate you my friend!❤
Wow 🥹😍 Blown away!!!
simply amazing!
Last year I finally had the chance to see them live. What an experience.
I can imagine.
Its my first time watching you and i loved this video. First off i must say, I was at this Ritual. In the crowd. And if you think the video is magical, being there experiencing this was beyond anything i have ever experienced. Your reaction is so pure, i once got taught to believe one way. And my spiritual journey took me elsewhere. Funnily enough with the Gods that Heilung evision and express. And this is an Awakening that's happening to so many people, Paganism is returning in a big way, to the point that Pre-Christian Faiths in general are the fastest growing religions outside of Christianity. So what you're feeling, I understand. Heilung is a movement, an expression. A voice among so many others, like Wardruna and others. Spiritual Awakening is happening. Be proud of it.
thank you so much for sharing friend! I Have been feeling so much lately. I appreciate you being here.
All i can say is that their band name couldn't be more perfect. Heilung = healing. Listening to their music over time has gradually mended my chipped and damaged soul in ways words fall short to describe. I imagine that when i do someday get to see them live i will weep profusely and no doubt experience something more profound than any faith could ever call forth from me.
My first ritual is at Red Rocks in April. 🤍
Your spiritual awakening can be a powerful even, on occasion, a traumatic period in your life. As an old Witch I would suggest that you take care of yourself and don't let others tell you what to believe, trust your heart and find your own path. There are many kind and good people out there, but also there are those who like to feel power over others, they often set themselves up as, I suppose I might say "False Prophets". You see them in these Evangelical churches and yes even in some covens. My experience over many, many years is that your heart can guide you to YOUR true path better than listening to so called truth tellers who want to lead you. This is not to say that there are not those that we can seek out to help us along our individual path, but your path is individual to you hold true to your truth. Blessed Be! 🌒🌕🌘
Really appreciate your thoughts and advice! I love connecting with folks, and talking about this. If you are on insta, reach out.
@@TheWolffAndTheMelody No not on Insta that is for you young'uns I tend to struggle with much technology my Partner's daughter usually has to sort out the mobile telephone that I only recently acquired. I hope that as you walk your path that you find positive guides. Remember if something feels off or wrong, walk away, if you are meant to know a thing it will come back to be revealed when you are ready. We each have our own path to our own Truth there is no need to rush.
Heilung's music is pretty wild. I have been to a concert with them a couple of times when they have been through Denmark. Several of their concerts are like being part of a prehistoric ritual. It's not just music, it's a total performance 🙂
I love how your jaw just immediately hits the floor.
Your experience in life is so similar to mine. I feel like I understand where you are speaking from. I feel very at home in nature and I believe that music from Heilung taps into that primal side. I also find myself getting choked up randomly from the feeling of a presence. Its happened my whole life. Thank you for sharing your story, its good to know we are not alone in those feelings and experiences.
Much love friend! There is something going on deep within us.
You should watch the official video. Absolutely brought me to tears. I was at this concert. Quite stunning. I’ve always loved this group of performers, but live it was mind and life altering.
check out my heilung playlist. I did a reaction to the official video. Beautiful song.
For me it's not a coincidence that bands like Heilung join us on our journey of consciousness. I feel that humanity is on a very spiritual path. To see and feel your reaction makes me believe in a better world. A world in which humanity reflects on true values. Peace, love, trueness. Thanks a lot and may YOUR God bless you 🙏
much love my friend.
Please find a way to go see them as they have a few more dates left in the states. Seeing them live is life-changing
Indeed! I can't wait to see em
THE CHILLS!!❤️🔥
Watching them live always feels like you accidentally stepped into a secret shamanic ritual while walking in the woods, you know what I mean? 😅
You did.
You made me cry... 🥺❤🔥 You speak straight through your heart, your soul... This music makes me the same things like to you. It opens something in me i can't explain. Something, what is very deep in me. I feel a lot of emotions. This music opens my old wounds and heals them at the same time. When i have some difficult decision, this music helps me a lot. And the nature too. 🌿🌲🐝 Thank you very much for that reactions! ❤
Gosh I'm so glad you are here friend! Much love!
This music awakens your ancestral memory. Your people are calling you to follow. Just as they did me when I learned to listen.
This is what Heilung is about. The healing of the soul, of our soul. We all have harsh moments in our live. I believe what we all are missing in our "modern and sophisticated" world is spiritualism. Why does myth and legend fascinate us? It is because not everything needs to be explained. We hurt, that makes us human, we cry that means can also feel joy. Crying is cathartic. Whenever I hear this song the last couple of days I cry, I cry becaue we all lost something, but I also cry because this is hope.
We feel a change in ourself and it is good. We get our eyes opened to a world we lost the moment we stopped being children and became adults, because modern society forces us to kill this part of us, becaue it is "unproductiv" and doesn't fit in the capitalistic world we live in. Greed and selfishness are predominant in the world, because it is dangerously easy to be cruel and hateful, like a demon or a bad spirit posioning our thoughts and our soul.
Being kind, respecting nature, respecting other and even ourself, that is what is truely importent.
No, I don't think sharing your expierence with us is wrond. This song, no this music helps us confront things and share something beautiful. It is not weak to feel emotions. Only cowards repress it and laugh at others. You my friend are incredible strong, thank you for sharing this with us.
That means alot to me friend. Thank you for the kind words!
Oh my God! You have expressed what I've thought for years! I shy away from the construct of religion and man made rules and I'm extremely drawn to the peace and solitude of a misty forest, wow!!
So many people feel like us. Its refreshing to encounter each other.
Music like this, is the heartbeat of the Earth.
I know exactly what you mean. I grew up in a strict denomination; my parents are loving but very much ingrained in the denomination. It was a fundamentalist/evangelical group and those man made rules, the legalism left me so hollow and empty, I lost myself. I lost the little girl who grew up on the farm in love with nature and I felt I’d always been trying to find her again. I so get what you mean! My bf is from Appalachia and I got to visit their family land in the hollers, and when I stepped on that land I felt as if I was home back on the farm again! That was my first step toward true healing. And once I found Heilung, more pieces fell into place. I write poetry like onion skins falling and this has allowed me to be so much more honest and raw (thank you also to Citizen Soldier!) and I have studied and listened and I now know where my beliefs are. I wanted to see Heilung as well but I couldn’t because of work too. I’m glad for your honesty, so many are in a similar place.
Ohhhh I feel everything you wrote! I love Appalachia! I feel very drawn to the forest. Do you post your poetry on any social medias?
Seeing this group live was almost an out of body experience. What you feel through the videos is only a fraction of what you feel while you're there. If you ever get the chance to see them, do it. It will change your life.
Oh I plan to!
I've had a very similar walk in my life. My upbringing was a lot like yours and I went from believing in God because of my upbringing, to becoming a full-blown atheist, to completely finding God again and completely believing with every fiber of my being. I had to humble myself completely and truly seek him before I could see the truth. I don't know why I feel compelled to tell you this, but God did not create evil and it's not in his will that we suffer. Darkness is the absence of light, cold is the absence of heat, evil is the absence of love and God. I'll be praying for you.
Cool dude, I appreciate your kind words and encouragement. You are a good soul.
I saw this on RUclips a couple days before I *finally* got to see them in person yesterday. That drum and their voices hits so much harder in real life. I felt moved spiritually and physically. Seriously, that drum rearranged my organs. Very very surreal experience. Can't wait for them to come back.
I can only imagine! I want to see them live!
Those drums! I have AFib and was sitting in 6 row Center. The Amplified sound from them affected my diaphragm so strongly I wondered if it was healthy for me, lol!
Heilung has the ability to transport you to the ritual they perform.
The emotions the rituals evoke sometimes just simply can't be described. Maybe they don't need to be. Just felt.
They were in New Orleans last month; myself and two daughters attended the ritual, and it was an experience...unfortunately, a flawed one. Heilung was everything you could expect or hope for; some of the fans, however, were not. Sitting on the end of a row, this couple kept dancing in front of us in the walkway, blocking half the stage. We asked them to dance on the other side of the walkway, where they wouldn't block anyone. Their response? It was our fault for not getting up and dancing with them and blocking more people's view. Even after six others said something, house personnel wouldn't do anything because the performers told them to not stop people from dancing. We didn't want them to stop, we just wanted them to not do it in front of us.
All that being said, it was an experience I would hope to partake in many, many more times.
ugh thats annoying and thats where people need to be considerate and simply take a few steps over. We pay alot of money to see this group.
❤ Love from Denmark brother 🇩🇰
Much love friend from West Virginia!

У меня была такая же реакция, когда я впервые услышала ЭТО...
I’ve struggled with faith and the feeling that I *had* to believe in something for nearly my whole life. My parents weren’t overly religious, we went to church because I think they thought it was the right thing to do. In high school I met a group of friends and got involved in a Baptist church. I learned through that church the division, hatred, judgment, and elitism that organized religion breeds. I spent a lot of years feeling I didn’t believe in anything, but underneath there was always a vibrating that I wanted to believe in something. At nearly 40 years old, I’ve found that that “something” most closely resonates with paganism. The earth nurtures me and holds me and I find so much comfort in the steadfastness that is the circle of life. The spirit music like Heilung’s awakens in me is what I need 🖤
You and I are in the same boat. I have always felt a deep pull to nature and the hidde. things of the earth. As Ive grown and gotten older...religion makes no sense to me. Im so glad you found your way and still growing. We are in this together.
I've never believed in a 'god' and have never had any spiritual feelings until I came across Heilung, and like you, it was only through these reaction videos that I found them. This live version of Anoana has stirred something inside that I cannot explain, something physical,but I don't know how to react. I only know it brings me a great deal of peace. I hope it has the same effect for you.
I love Heilung, it has been really wild and surreal listening to them and what their music is doing. We need it.
DNA ….. BLOOD……..and SOUL
Memories
We react this way because it literally takes us back through our lineage to that time in the beginning !
Going to see them tomorrow. Excited!❤
SO LUCKY! WHERE!
@@TheWolffAndTheMelody in St.louis. They are playing at a venue called The Factory. I'll grab some pictures or video and post them.
@@TheWolffAndTheMelodynext time they tour through your way you need to see them. You will absolutely love it.
Brother...what you just described after watching this is almost exactly the kinda experiences I had growing up. Raised in a Pentecostal Christian church (my grandad was the founder of said church) but grew to loath and despise organized religion due to those experiences (my parents DID try to force it down my throat, so much more negative for me); but I've gone from hardcore atheist to more agnostic atheist as I've grown older (early 40s now), but I've always been drawn to the "other", the unseen and unknown, the intuitive and emotional.
I too recall deep seeded connections to the woods and wilderness when I was a kid that has stuck with me through my entire life. Heilung have brought those feelings to the surface again.
There is something going on deep within us friend. Something is calling us.
a call to home, resonating in some ancient dormant memory awakened by Heilung. our culture from thousands of years ago. for me, lost..until now
Thank you so much for spending the time to talk to us from your heart.
I was raised as a Methodist Christian, but I stopped believing as a child because I couldn't get a straight answer from the Vicar for any of my questions, which was not my experience at school with history teachers.
Autism + dogma = ACCESS NONE ERROR
GOTO FAIL
I feel that!!!
Whether or not there is a god or gods in it.. i would always choose the forest. Simply because i love forests and to feel how life lingers all around me without the stress and noise of mankind. Being in a forest with little to no sounds from mankind calms me down more than anything else. And Whenever i want to feel or experience even more i put on Heilung on my MP3-Player, sit down, and let be taken away by some, let's call it "ancient", somewhat mystical force.
Once i went to the forest nearby, sat down and listened to Heilung (on just one ear, the other one open for the sound of nature) and i seriously was spiritually far far away, because the next thing i remember is, that it's gone dark (it was like 19:00 when i set off to the forest) and that Heilung wasn't playing anymore but Helheim (the following Band entry on my list) blasted my ear. All 3:40 of Heilung playtime played through and i can remember shit. :D Was a fkn great exprience for what music can do.
I Love Heilung's ritualistic/shamanistic (Kai) background and for being able to create art that lets me experience something spiritual that seems to be very, very deep hidden inside me.
Mankind invented technology and evolved technology to it's current state, but mankind itself didn't evolve as fast with technology. We're still the same as we were 20,000 years ago. But technology made us forget that we need nature to relax our souls and senses, imo.
I can only suggest to go somewhere where mankinds noises don't reach you and listen to Heilung, be open for anything that happens. Maybe you'll experience what i did, maybe not, but for sure you'll feel something deep within.
I appreciate you being here friend. Thanks for sharing with us.
It's so trippy. No wonder you're having such a strong reaction.
❤ Love you Amy!
It’s hard for me to explain but when I listen to this music I feel like something sleeping inside me stirs for just a moment. Something dormant. Some kind of primal connection that all humans have deep deep down but have simply forgotten over time. It feels like true living. Power I never knew I had.
I don’t know.
I understand completely.
Top reaction as always 🤘I can't remember seeing anything enchanting like this in a live performance recording. The mixture of the stage design, the lights, the smooth choreography, the instruments, the background singer's, Kai-Uwe's and especially Maria's voices triggers my primal instincts and something I can't describe, the term "goosebumps" is no longer enough for this. I hope to see them live soon.
Greetings from Germany 🖤
You are so kind! This was otherwordly! Right when the first note dropped...I felt it in my skull
Your father is proud of you ❤
BTW. Heilung means "Healing".
They bless us with their existence.
I've been a fan for a while, but my cats freak out with some of the tones.
Elizabeth of the The Charismatic Voice channel did an excellent interview with some of them. You will love it as you get so much more context for what they are about.
Worth noting that they are on bandcamp so you can get their albums in full-fat FLAC and ALAC.
This is something we need. ... Roots we all .. accept.
The Root bound as all. And we shall follow it.
We all Brothers and Sisters.
Is (heilung) talk to our heart
Your heart is connected to other Hearts.
Kitos to you. You are wonderful human and your reaction is normal for me. This music can move very deeply and that's normal too. Basic thing is to be good and responsible person. Big hug to you.
appreciate you friend!
I watch a lot of music reaction channels. But you're one of the very few I follow. And this video is a perfect example of why I'm following you.
Heilung is an experience. During your video, I felt like a wave of chills when she started singing, like an unbearably crushing weight and at the same time an incredibly liberating feeling of lightness. From my shoulders to my ankles. Happens rarely, but happens with Heilung, Wardruna, Ren and Lovebites/Nemophila. That's precisely why I continue to be alive.
thank you friend so much for those words. I'm glad these videos are a light to people!
I agree. Right when the music hit, something washed over me. It was wild.
thanks for your reactions! and for your feelings man! seeing those who are getting to know Heilung for the first time is something just as incredible as when you did it yourself for the first time! it's something that flows through us! and they fucking found the key to it!
And again a jaw dropping experience.
The official video was something but this life performance got instant chills. Exceptionally good and moving.
I more and more liking your reactions.
Honesty and what the music does to you is priority. Not the the quantity of views and/or subscriptions.
Keep the good work going Tommy.
(spelling of your name is correct, or?)
Greetz from The Netherlands
Much love friend! I really do appreciate all the kind words! I love getting to know you all thru these reactions. Yep Tommy
The feeling that is brought on through this type of music is beyond ideological written words. There are truths and simplicity to this ephemeral experience, most of the things people are indoctrinated with impede on the true beauty of what lies in front of them.
I'm going to my first Heilung ritual on Sunday in Denver!
TELL ME ALL ABOUT IT WHEN YOU ARE DONE.
Heilung is the real deal. Not a band, true ceremonies, all of their instruments are hand made, and they speak in Olde Germanic, and speaks to Old souls.
My favorite is Noropo .
It is ok to walk in the gray area, without being left or right, good or bad, bitter or all loving.
I call it source, the whole, you experiance the world, within the world, as I do. BIG HUGS TO YOU!!
I have been surrounded by the paranormal and supernatural my entire life, I have so many life experiences, I could write a novel ,lol Happy Halloween
I would love to hear some of your experiences.
Simplesmente ESPETACULAR
Does this group have a command of their audience? The crowd is still, no flashing cameras, just absorbing what they are experiencing.
Right!? Everyone is in awe..
Maria Franz is just amazing singer, as hypnotic as Nightwish's lead female singer, Tarja Turunen. Which I have been calling as Siren of Finland. There's been other singers too on Nightwish, Floor Jansen which is Dutch she is amazing with high notes, and Anette Olzon Swedish.
Saw them live couple of months ago. It was simply amazing... especially Anoana... 🤯🤩
I was there that night, first time i went to see them, blown away doesnt begin to describe how i felt..i was sent to another world, or perhaps back in time ❤
what an amazing moment.
They're a RPG group, in which everyone leveled as a shaman. 100% shamans. Heilung means healing.
❤sending you love and light ❤
