I always feel better when I take a walk outside, it brings peace to my mind. I remember as a child all I wanted to do was play outside and I am so grateful that I grew up before cell phones and the internet.
When I was a young man and feeling confused and depressed I went into some woods and was sitting with my back to a tree After some time a sparrow came and perched on my knee looking at me . I suddenly felt that nature was communicating with me and immediately felt better . I will never forget the healing nature of that encounter .
That was a very important and beautifully put message, Bjorn. I hope as many people as possible take note, and take action to learn to appreciate the importance of nature before it's too late.
I sold everything and moved my family to a remote location in the northern Rockies for this exact philosophy! We left the city and are very much connected to the 🌎 again! Such an important message Bjorn thank you!
I took a complete leap of faith when I was 27 (35 now), knowing that the path I was being pushed on by society WAS the worst case scenario. Absolute slavery to a totalitarian system. I quit my job and basically accepted that I would have nothing, unless nature, Life, accepted me, and I accepted being part of it. Earlier I had quit school for the same reason: my soul knew they kept me dumb and fed me lies and hierarchical propaganda to control me. I was labeled sick (well, "autism spectrum disorder" because I have an autonomously functioning mind, set my own rules, and live by them no matter what "the law" says) and poor, but actually never healthier or wealthier, both in what I value, and in monetary fictional funds. Instead of renting a soulless apartment in a soulless city to do a soulless job to pay bills and tax extortion and spend what little I had left on surrogate "happiness" and false "freedom", I now have two plots of forest land that are "my own" (whatever that means), and instead of being depressed to the point of wanting to die and accepting that that could very well be the result of my choice, I'm more alive than ever before, with a deeper love for life than ever, and no more aching body and exhausted mind and soullessness from "normality", where I would have never found peace anyway, that was clear from very young age. Still more willing to die than to let them push me back in line though. I wish you all the best brother, sister.
@@royauxkenwood9063 stick to it and never give up on your dream of getting outta there! People will doubt and question your logic, just keep your eye on the prize!🌲🍂🍁🌞🏔 You only live once, don’t waste it!!
We are in the process of doing the same thing... selling/donating everything, just keeping the very important stuff only. Moving back home in the mountains. Can't wait to be back and connect with nature. ❤️
This is my dream, living in England its not so easy. Maybe once I clear my debt I will move. The need to reconnect is there, I feel it every day. You Sir/Ma`am are an inspiration
I to as a child spent all my time in the woods with my friends we had a great time, i now have a small peace of land so i have planted over 500 trees on it over the last few years and now have a small wood of my own to spend time in
I live in an area where there's lots of trees and trails to go to. I go the this area 4 times a week and i never get tired of it. Every time I walk through the trees, I feel a sense of peace and calm. I like taking deep breath while walking through the trees, they are the king of oxygen :)
There was mango tree outside of my room where I am staying, but the root system was affecting the perimeter wall, so it had to be chopped down. I felt a deep sorrow for the next few days following its removal... Though we don't think about it, every living thing around us draws energy from us and gives energy to us, so when the tree was removed, I felt like I had lost something dear to me, even though I never consciously thought about it that way.
During a beautiful Autumn, I like to walk in my woods. It's so peaceful. The different colored leaves illuminated by the Sun are like stained glass windows. You close your eyes and hear the breeze through the leaves and feel you could fall asleep. It's nature's Cathedral.
I finally realized a few years ago that the ONLY place I'm truly happy is outdoors amongst the hills and trees, away from the cities and suburbs. I can be happy here indoors as well of course but it's never that pure, deep-seated joy and contentment. The difference in how I feel and think here going about my daily chores and job and how I feel and think out there amongst the woods and the rocks and the hills and the rivers is incredibly stark. I currently have plans in the works to get out of dodge once the old folks' time on this Earth is up and have remote land scoped out to purchase. I need my outdoors. Amongst nature is truly where life is best.
My Dear Friend, I must tell you that I love your energy, your vibe. It is truly special. And it's not just about making these wonderful videos, and not even about spreading the message which is crucially important today - it's ABOUT YOU. People need YOU, we need YOU. You must know that you are extremely unique individual and you MUST continue making and posting your content NO MATTER WHAT, even if only a few left who are watching. From those few a new generation will grow and develop - the generation of NATURAL PEOPLE. Governments rise and fall, problems come and go. Today they look and feel like mountains, and tomorrow they are gone like they never existed. But what will remain is YOUR WORD in the hearts of YOUR people. PLEASE, KEEP GOING !!! WE LOVE YOU AND APPRECIATE YOU. Peace
I grew up on 80 acres of woods. Trees have always been sacred to me. My family's properties is one of the few that have not been logged off. The forest takes care of itself No trees cut for the century my family has owned it. The local logging company still sends offers of money to my mom to log off the property. She finally responded back that if they contact her again, she will consider it harassment and contact a lawyer. I've always felt compelled to see and experience the giant redwoods!
When I was a kid my family moved out to the countryside. Away from the city . My sisters and brother would go out to play in the swamp and the woods nearby our house. We collected tadpoles and watched them grow into frogs we would play with the salamanders. We went fishing in a nearby pond . Those were the days I remember the most as a child . I now go hiking with my family. Go out on the lake and go camping. It is important to enjoy the great outside . You are right it makes you feel better.
Love from Ontario, Canada…I wish I could be where you are…my soul yearns for solitude in nature…when my kids were in pre-school, their teacher made all the kids and adults hug a tree everyday! We had to hug it for at least 30 seconds and we had to say thank you to the tree…it was an amazing ritual for everyone….
Dearest Bjorn! I truly hope you are a father, because you are going to make the most Awesome Grandfather ever! Your children and grandchildren will have the best teacher possible! I send your videos to my 9 year old grandson. He lives in a large city. My daughter takes him on nature hikes and to the zoo. But its not quite the same as truly experiencing real nature. I grew up in Alaska part of my life...so I know exactly what your saying and agree with you 100%. Thank you got this beautiful video! Stay well!
I just read your bio on your website. I understand a lot of how it was for you in youth. My childhood was very similar. My loneliness became a yearning to find out more about my roots, and my passion for nature grew tremendously. I would trade NOTHING for my yesteryear.
One very cold day I hugged an old Oak, it actually felt warm. Everyday I simply have to get solitude with my dogs in the middle of nowhere, any sign of other humans whatsoever, even a distant voice, foot print or sweet wrapper spoil this for me...I think it's stress!
Before you eat or drink, say the word love over both... Just one word... Very powerful word......... Love is the most powerful force, in all the universes.........
You are so right just a walk in the woods not just walking but seeing nature smelling it let it in to your soul is a wonderfulness not found anywhere else
I moved from a big city to a rural area, and the change it has made in me is nothing short of miraculous. I sleep soundly and deeply, the locally produced meat and vegetables taste so different and wholesome, (I'm planning to grow my own vegetables next year) Although I am quite severely disabled, I do get out and about in the fresh air every day with my dog (I have a greyhound like you do Bjorn) and I feel so much better in myself, I'm calmer and more at peace now than at any other time in my life, I'm a bit older than you at 60 years old Bjorn. Please keep up your good and very valuable work, I wish you all the best.
To be within an Old Growth Forrest, is TRULY healing. I live near a beautiful park. In a beautiful state. When I wander there, I get an indescribable peace and serenity. Priceless!
👍Truth, Bjorn. This is how I survived a painful childhood. At my lowest points of my 65 yrs, it was always nature that gave me peace and real joy. Trees embody more than people will accept. The derogatory use of one calling another human a " tree hugger" makes me laugh in sorrow for the idiocy of that sort of thinking. Almost 50 yrs ago, I formed an unusual group of girls and boys with ecology as our focus. The children raised enough $ to buy 350 seedling regional trees to plant randomly. It was very ambitious. We were a bit understaffed for such a huge project., but each seedling was planted. I visited a few of them in 2008, and they are glorious to behold! I hope those same children have carried on that ambition with them to pass down to their children as a "Butterfly Effect"". I was so young back then. I can only hope people like yourself keep the message alive. Thank you for your devotion to that knowledge of our forests importance on your platform. Can you imagine if every reader grew and then planted at least 5 trees? I think that would really matter right now.
Ye its the same thing some people call earthing. The vibration in nature will heal you. You are not supposed to be in a city in a box with all your own energy bouncing back at you.
Thank you Bjorn. I needed this. In my youth I connected with the trees and the earth effortlessly. A as I got older I have forgotten how. The stress in my life in recent years sometimes feels unbearable. I will return to the woods this weekend.
Grew up in the city yet I've always felt the same way. Always sought out tree filled parks, fountains of running water and piers when I was stressed out. I've been to therapy before but when I couldn't afford it or no longer felt helped by it I spent hours looking at the way the water flowed. It always made me feel like I was being cleansed inside and any chaotic feelings/emotions inside me were being unwinded. Always makes me sad when people say they hate nature because of bugs or the climate is too hot or cold. I wonder if some people have completely severed their innate connection to nature because of their dependence on modern conveniences. They're missing out on so much.
Your totally right it’s a wonderful feeling walking in the woods with my Dog, knowing that most of the trees have lived a longer than me and will hopefully still be there when I’m gone.
Nature & it's plethora of metaphors for living & understanding our capacity was what nurtured me as a neglected, wild raised child with my messed up traumatized lost minded parents; gave thanks to a grandmother tree and immediately felt the energy in my hands and body which then suddenly made me aware of it's root energies! Nothing gifts, soothes and restores us like Mother Nature, our Great Mother which old Europe honoured and revered following her teachings and not humans theft of her plentiful gifts and blessings. Totally Cool, Bjorn! Namaste.
I recently moved out of the city and I now go for a hike almost every day. I feel so much more at peace when I just sit in the woods and watch the wildlife. My stress has all but evaporated and I am getting back into shape again.
When I feel off, I have 1 tree I go to to lay hands on. Trees provide energetic stability. They are static in many ways where we are dynamic. Sounds hippy, but it's really true
totally agree , I grew up in the countryside ,walked and stayed out in the Woods for many many hours . swam in ponds , fed horses , never afraid , the smell and sight of nature stays with you your whole life and your very soul is a part of it . burying your feet in the soil for twenty minutes apparently allows you to connect again and grounds all the negative energy .
You're absolutely right. I always feel my best in the woods. Even if I'm driving down an old gravel road, winding through the woods. It makes me feel better.
Leaving Toronto to move to West Kelowna, BC was the best decision my husband and I made. We have a mountain in our backyard and are surrounded by the healing power of nature. I can feel it every morning when I take my dog out for a walk.
I recalled how much I missed being surrounded by true forest and wilderness rather than just local parks, while camping in the northern tier of Pennsylvania (US) this past weekend. I am very grateful for the reminder now that I'm back to "the world". I'll note that we're also detached from the rhythms of the sky - darkness, starlight, moon cycles, and the changing light throughout the day. I feel that being able to reset from the effects of screens and outdoor lighting is also rather important in the healing process.
I’ve always felt that people have become too detached from the sources of their food . Most people don’t know how much work it takes to get crops from seed to the table
Thank you. Love all your videos. 💖 Greetings from a Belgian woman who came in 2017 to live in Spain in a small village. I do miss the smell of the North Sea and the smell of the woods over there. Yes, nature is an amazing healer. Peace Love Life
Love this message!! We are part of all creation!! Look deep within and breathe deeply and meditate while you are there!! Beautiful and peaceful.. sink into the natural beauties!!❤️
Thanks from Ottawa Canada. Totally agree. Nature is where we can free ourselves from the stresses etc. It's absolutely magical. I often talk to the wildlife if I'm fortunate to have a chat with them. Crazy perhaps but there are connections to be made, even with a bird.
Profound words Bjorn. Energy comes from the large rocks as well I feel. Trees have souls, and you can talk to them, they make more sense than some people...lol!
Just get out and breathe deep. You will realize you don't belong stuck in a box! Wish more would just try it for themselves and see the freedom that awaits them. This video makes my heart happy. Thanks Bjorn, this was a great message.
This may be one of the most important and vital issues of our time, I totally agree with every thought you shared, you are directly over the target. Man made reality will always drift from what is natural over time, and before you realize it, disease creeps in to tell you this.
This is the kind of video that led me to sub to your channel years ago. Just the simple image of you in the woods, talking about nature, maybe drinking chocolate coffee, and speaking your mind for a few minutes.
Bjorn, your soul will live forever, your body is just here now, you will decompose into the earth , but you will live on. Love is the only thing important in life. Your videos enchant me xxx
Good day to you Bjorn , I think that you are Right , when you say that Nature is a Great Healer , I have spent much of my life out in the Wilds , starting as a young child , even when it was raining , It would not put me off , Helped me to overcome the loss of my Father at 11 years old , There is no better place to search yourself within ,in my humble opinnion .
So true, my mom always did walk alot of trip with me when I was younger. I did have very bad years in my early life, but alot of "walk in the woods" have help me alot, and also help my mom too. :) Its importent that we do plant more tree, to make sure this planet survival. Help nature plant a tree❤
Yes I did enjoy the video, I am 74yoa, I've had 2 nervous breakdowns, I'm OK now, we own a small wood at the back of our cottage, every morning we practice meditation and yoga either in the wood or looking into the wood, this practice alone has kept me sane, love and peace to everyone.
I was lucky to live in a remote place with deep wild nature for a time. Lost it all to fires & now stuck in the middle of a big city. I can't stand it. It's like a living nightmare to me. Just trying to figure out how I can live in a place with access to nature again. That's my home.
I take people out in the woods. First hour I hear about bugs and the world issues. I get it, they are getting it out. After that first hour they really start to see the Forrest and it’s beauty. Touching it and being a part of it all. Like they are remembering something they didn’t know was lost. I hike 5 to 7 miles every weekend. I’ve never taken someone with me that didn’t thank me in the end. We are a part of that it’s time more feel it. Thanks Bjorn
I have wondered for years why I long to go back to my childhood forest....I think what you said here partly explains why I miss it as I do. It was a part of me and I was a part of it....a place where I was happiest. It had a little stream than ran through it and a little plank as a bridge over it and where I first saw a Jack-in-the -Pulpit plant. It was the forest between my home and my grandparent's home. 💗
Great and informative video again Bjorn. Indeed, I definitely feel better after walking and spending some time in the woodlands, local nature reserves.
Nature is what saved my sanity from the time I was a little girl and way into old age. 🥰 I also am a firm believer in "grounding;" physically coming in contact with the Earth. I am barefooted often, summer and winter, in my yard. I get my hands in the dirt planting in the Spring and caress my trees and plants all year. The plants do better when we do this, also. Try rubbing a leaf and talking to it. See what happens within a few days. It will blow your mind.
I agree, when growing up I had no cell phone thought of at the time. You could breathe and heal. I even kept perfect balance while sleep in trees. Also it allowed your creativity to kick in.
I grew up in the mountains far away from the city. I moved to the city and been living there for over 16 years. Every time I go back to the mountains to visit my parents a sense of peace comes to me I can’t explain it. Is really therapeutic.
Oh yes, it has. Nearby I have my local woods. Not that very big but big enough to spend a day in without meeting other people. It calms me down. It's the best help to keep the mental health.
Hello Bjorn. We are kindred spirits. I just returned from a week in the backcountry bow hunting elk in my home state of Wyoming, USA. I'm out every day with my bird dog (who also elk hunts with me) and we walk miles in the heat and cold and snow and rain, and she is my consrant an faihful partner. I am so happy to hear that you acknowledge that just as with all of nature, we humans too are part of the natural world. I think that the distinction is that as humans, we have attributes that put us above many of other of God's creations, and that we also have faculties that should lead us to realize that with the blessings of these faculties come responsibilites. Respect for our fellow creatures and of our place in nature, and as humans, although we will kill elk, deer, birds, cows, and fish to eat, we must always deeply appreciate our place in nature. When I kill an elk or any other creature, I am happy and grateful, and honor them with every meal. Almost every day, I'm immersed in nature, and so what you hve conveyed in your video resonates deeply with me. "The steps of a rightous man are oredered by the Lord." Walk on Bjorn!
Beautifully put. Hunting done right is good for the herds , mankind and nature. My family always respects their kills. And yes, we need to remember to tenderly care for the beautiful nature God created for us.
Very Great video Bjorn .Well said, I 100% agree with you When I am out in nature it is like a heavy weight has been lifted off my soul and my mind becomes so relaxed and at easy it brings a smile on my face .
I love this video and your words 🙂 I’ve always felt a connection with plants and animals. You’re so right about a feeling of belonging when you go out in nature. I will never forget that day I was out walking in the woods in Kentucky, and this buck and i saw each other. The buck came up to me , and stopped to check me out. I got this sense that this was a living being that demanding respect , and that there’s something greater than man kind. I wasn’t scared or uncomfortable, as he sniffed me. We met eyes one last time, before he went off into the woods. It was a beautiful moment ❤.
Insightful as always. We took a road trip last week from the desert to the forests of Arkansas. It is the same natural feeling but a unique feeling all of it's own. Each natural area has a power all it's own.
*From the ‘Desiderata’* “You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.” Whilst I find the entire Poem can cause me to become rather introspective ...even pensive... Max Ehrmann, [with but Two Sentences] imho, sums it up rather succinctly.
VERY underrated video and message. Well and I feel the same, everything you say, the connection, everything. Even though I ahvent such a wide, and clean nature like in norwegian, it makes still a difference, going outside of big cities. Thank you very much, its nice to listen to wisdom that comes really from your inner self by own experience, and not from repeating others.
Hello from Arizona, U.S.! I decided to live in my RV 2 years ago and I still do. I’m fortunate to have public lands here in the western US as my home. I stay for free on these public lands - forests, deserts, grasslands, beaches. I never knew I’d develop the relationship I now have with nature. It’s indescribable! I need it. It feels like the trees welcome me. I know who the robin is. The cactus greet me in the heat of the desert. I listen to elk and coyote in the evenings. I wouldn’t trade this for any other lifestyle. I’m home here.
Greetings from England, I totally agree I find the forest to be a great centre for healing, especially if one has a spiritual connection nature. The soil of the homeland a sacred bond.
very well said!!! also going into the forest for at least 45min a day boosts your immune system as the air the trees release there are particles that you breath in and they trigger a stronger immune system.
Beautiful uplifting words Bjorn What a beautiful world of nature we have Cold water outside shower has made me crave the full moon and clear skies I wish I'd been doing it for years but so glad to have found it at all Loved nature before but crave nature now Green before grey is my term for spare time ❤️☮️
Very well put Bjorn. We are taught religion but we know our true connection with nature through instinct and gut feeling. I see that you are always with the rock up-croppings, and the ancient trees. You can feel the connection with them, can’t you? It is an amazing feeling!
I always feel better when I take a walk outside, it brings peace to my mind. I remember as a child all I wanted to do was play outside and I am so grateful that I grew up before cell phones and the internet.
I call it Dangerous freedom..And I thanked my Mother for letting me have it as a young man..I earned my education in LIFE..
Best times ever x
Same here 🙏
When I was a young man and feeling confused and depressed I went into some woods and was sitting with my back to a tree After some time a sparrow came and perched on my knee looking at me . I suddenly felt that nature was communicating with me and immediately felt better .
I will never forget the healing nature of that encounter .
That was a very important and beautifully put message, Bjorn. I hope as many people as possible take note, and take action to learn to appreciate the importance of nature before it's too late.
Thank you, Anthony.
I sold everything and moved my family to a remote location in the northern Rockies for this exact philosophy!
We left the city and are very much connected to the 🌎 again!
Such an important message Bjorn thank you!

Spending time in nature feels good cos you're among your fellow organic creatures. In a sense, it's a family.
I have walked in forest so tall and the moss under it was like a wonderful carpet. It is how we should live. The forest provides everything we need.

when i was young i used to climb as high as i could in a tree and just close my eyes and sway with the tree tops, what a feeling

Connecting with nature is connecting with Odin - walk in peace.
There is no Odin, it’s a made up story

To be within an Old Growth Forrest, is TRULY healing. I live near a beautiful park. In a beautiful state. When I wander there, I get an indescribable peace and serenity. Priceless!
👍Truth, Bjorn. This is how I survived a painful childhood. At my lowest points of my 65 yrs, it was always nature that gave me peace and real joy. Trees embody more than people will accept. The derogatory use of one calling another human a " tree hugger" makes me laugh in sorrow for the idiocy of that sort of thinking. Almost 50 yrs ago, I formed an unusual group of girls and boys with ecology as our focus. The children raised enough $ to buy 350 seedling regional trees to plant randomly. It was very ambitious. We were a bit understaffed for such a huge project., but each seedling was planted. I visited a few of them in 2008, and they are glorious to behold! I hope those same children have carried on that ambition with them to pass down to their children as a "Butterfly Effect"". I was so young back then. I can only hope people like yourself keep the message alive. Thank you for your devotion to that knowledge of our forests importance on your platform. Can you imagine if every reader grew and then planted at least 5 trees? I think that would really matter right now.
Ditto friend.......
I tell trees that they are beautiful and I love them
Something similar was done in France by one man who planted an entire forest one seed at a time during his life time.
Ye its the same thing some people call earthing. The vibration in nature will heal you. You are not supposed to be in a city in a box with all your own energy bouncing back at you.
Your 100 percent right, getting away from nature we got away from ourselves. We must come back. Thank you. I love your wisdom.
This is 100% accurate.
Doctors should prescribe 'getting out in nature with respect and mindfulness' for many things.
Thank you Bjorn. I needed this. In my youth I connected with the trees and the earth effortlessly. A as I got older I have forgotten how. The stress in my life in recent years sometimes feels unbearable. I will return to the woods this weekend.
Grew up in the city yet I've always felt the same way. Always sought out tree filled parks, fountains of running water and piers when I was stressed out. I've been to therapy before but when I couldn't afford it or no longer felt helped by it I spent hours looking at the way the water flowed. It always made me feel like I was being cleansed inside and any chaotic feelings/emotions inside me were being unwinded. Always makes me sad when people say they hate nature because of bugs or the climate is too hot or cold. I wonder if some people have completely severed their innate connection to nature because of their dependence on modern conveniences. They're missing out on so much.
Your totally right it’s a wonderful feeling walking in the woods with my Dog, knowing that most of the trees have lived a longer than me and will hopefully still be there when I’m gone.
Nature & it's plethora of metaphors for living & understanding our capacity was what nurtured me as a neglected, wild raised child with my messed up traumatized lost minded parents; gave thanks to a grandmother tree and immediately felt the energy in my hands and body which then suddenly made me aware of it's root energies! Nothing gifts, soothes and restores us like Mother Nature, our Great Mother which old Europe honoured and revered following her teachings and not humans theft of her plentiful gifts and blessings.
Totally Cool, Bjorn! Namaste.

I recently moved out of the city and I now go for a hike almost every day. I feel so much more at peace when I just sit in the woods and watch the wildlife. My stress has all but evaporated and I am getting back into shape again.
When I feel off, I have 1 tree I go to to lay hands on. Trees provide energetic stability. They are static in many ways where we are dynamic. Sounds hippy, but it's really true
totally agree , I grew up in the countryside ,walked and stayed out in the Woods for many many hours . swam in ponds , fed horses , never afraid , the smell and sight of nature stays with you your whole life and your very soul is a part of it . burying your feet in the soil for twenty minutes apparently allows you to connect again and grounds all the negative energy .
Lovely! I agree. I love the forest; Ilive a block from the sea. That is my closest daily nature. I go to sleep hearing the sea. Peace.
You're absolutely right. I always feel my best in the woods. Even if I'm driving down an old gravel road, winding through the woods. It makes me feel better.
Leaving Toronto to move to West Kelowna, BC was the best decision my husband and I made. We have a mountain in our backyard and are surrounded by the healing power of nature. I can feel it every morning when I take my dog out for a walk.
I always feel recharged and uplifted when out in nature. Camping, fishing, or just foraging and sitting eating lunch in the woods. Nature heals.
I recalled how much I missed being surrounded by true forest and wilderness rather than just local parks, while camping in the northern tier of Pennsylvania (US) this past weekend. I am very grateful for the reminder now that I'm back to "the world".
I'll note that we're also detached from the rhythms of the sky - darkness, starlight, moon cycles, and the changing light throughout the day. I feel that being able to reset from the effects of screens and outdoor lighting is also rather important in the healing process.
I’ve always felt that people have become too detached from the sources of their food . Most people don’t know how much work it takes to get crops from seed to the table
Thank you. Love all your videos. 💖 Greetings from a Belgian woman who came in 2017 to live in Spain in a small village. I do miss the smell of the North Sea and the smell of the woods over there. Yes, nature is an amazing healer. Peace Love Life
Love this message!! We are part of all creation!! Look deep within and breathe deeply and meditate while you are there!! Beautiful and peaceful.. sink into the natural beauties!!❤️
I went to the forest yesterday, I got lost but I found someone who helped me with the way. I was in great mood after that, thanks Bjorn !
Thanks from Ottawa Canada. Totally agree. Nature is where we can free ourselves from the stresses etc. It's absolutely magical. I often talk to the wildlife if I'm fortunate to have a chat with them. Crazy perhaps but there are connections to be made, even with a bird.
I would say I agree with you 100%, I've always felt the healing nature of trees in a natural environment there is nothing more peaceful.
Profound words Bjorn. Energy comes from the large rocks as well I feel. Trees have souls, and you can talk to them, they make more sense than some people...lol!
Just get out and breathe deep. You will realize you don't belong stuck in a box! Wish more would just try it for themselves and see the freedom that awaits them. This video makes my heart happy. Thanks Bjorn, this was a great message.
Nothing compares to time outdoors, it makes me feel so much better. My two young sons enjoy it too ❤
This may be one of the most important and vital issues of our time, I totally agree with every thought you shared, you are directly over the target. Man made reality will always drift from what is natural over time, and before you realize it, disease creeps in to tell you this.
This is the kind of video that led me to sub to your channel years ago. Just the simple image of you in the woods, talking about nature, maybe drinking chocolate coffee, and speaking your mind for a few minutes.
Bjorn, your soul will live forever, your body is just here now, you will decompose into the earth , but you will live on. Love is the only thing important in life. Your videos enchant me xxx
Good day to you Bjorn , I think that you are Right , when you say that Nature is a Great Healer , I have spent much of my life out in the Wilds , starting as a young child , even when it was raining , It would not put me off , Helped me to overcome the loss of my Father at 11 years old , There is no better place to search yourself within ,in my humble opinnion .
So true, my mom always did walk alot of trip with me when I was younger. I did have very bad years in my early life, but alot of "walk in the woods" have help me alot, and also help my mom too. :) Its importent that we do plant more tree, to make sure this planet survival.
Help nature plant a tree❤
Yes I did enjoy the video, I am 74yoa, I've had 2 nervous breakdowns, I'm OK now, we own a small wood at the back of our cottage, every morning we practice meditation and yoga either in the wood or looking into the wood, this practice alone has kept me sane, love and peace to everyone.
I was lucky to live in a remote place with deep wild nature for a time. Lost it all to fires & now stuck in the middle of a big city. I can't stand it. It's like a living nightmare to me. Just trying to figure out how I can live in a place with access to nature again. That's my home.
I truly believe what you are saying! Blessings to you and your family! Thank you very much!❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👍👍👍
Great words Bjorn and a fine video thank you and stay well 😊
I take people out in the woods. First hour I hear about bugs and the world issues. I get it, they are getting it out. After that first hour they really start to see the Forrest and it’s beauty. Touching it and being a part of it all. Like they are remembering something they didn’t know was lost. I hike 5 to 7 miles every weekend. I’ve never taken someone with me that didn’t thank me in the end. We are a part of that it’s time more feel it. Thanks Bjorn
I have wondered for years why I long to go back to my childhood forest....I think what you said here partly explains why I miss it as I do. It was a part of me and I was a part of it....a place where I was happiest. It had a little stream than ran through it and a little plank as a bridge over it and where I first saw a Jack-in-the -Pulpit plant. It was the forest between my home and my grandparent's home. 💗
Great and informative video again Bjorn. Indeed, I definitely feel better after walking and spending some time in the woodlands, local nature reserves.
Nature is what saved my sanity from the time I was a little girl and way into old age. 🥰 I also am a firm believer in "grounding;" physically coming in contact with the Earth. I am barefooted often, summer and winter, in my yard. I get my hands in the dirt planting in the Spring and caress my trees and plants all year. The plants do better when we do this, also. Try rubbing a leaf and talking to it. See what happens within a few days. It will blow your mind.
I agree, when growing up I had no cell phone thought of at the time. You could breathe and heal. I even kept perfect balance while sleep in trees. Also it allowed your creativity to kick in.
I grew up in the mountains far away from the city. I moved to the city and been living there for over 16 years. Every time I go back to the mountains to visit my parents a sense of peace comes to me I can’t explain it. Is really therapeutic.
Oh yes, it has. Nearby I have my local woods. Not that very big but big enough to spend a day in without meeting other people. It calms me down. It's the best help to keep the mental health.
Awesome advice… thank you for reminding us that there is a healing power in nature
So true Bjorn. Best wishes from England xx
Hello Bjorn. We are kindred spirits. I just returned from a week in the backcountry bow hunting elk in my home state of Wyoming, USA. I'm out every day with my bird dog (who also elk hunts with me) and we walk miles in the heat and cold and snow and rain, and she is my consrant an faihful partner. I am so happy to hear that you acknowledge that just as with all of nature, we humans too are part of the natural world. I think that the distinction is that as humans, we have attributes that put us above many of other of God's creations, and that we also have faculties that should lead us to realize that with the blessings of these faculties come responsibilites. Respect for our fellow creatures and of our place in nature, and as humans, although we will kill elk, deer, birds, cows, and fish to eat, we must always deeply appreciate our place in nature. When I kill an elk or any other creature, I am happy and grateful, and honor them with every meal. Almost every day, I'm immersed in nature, and so what you hve conveyed in your video resonates deeply with me. "The steps of a rightous man are oredered by the Lord." Walk on Bjorn!
Beautifully put. Hunting done right is good for the herds , mankind and nature. My family always respects their kills. And yes, we need to remember to tenderly care for the beautiful nature God created for us.
Very Great video Bjorn .Well said, I 100% agree with you When I am out in nature it is like a heavy weight has been lifted off my soul and my mind becomes so relaxed and at easy it brings a smile on my face .
I love this video and your words 🙂 I’ve always felt a connection with plants and animals. You’re so right about a feeling of belonging when you go out in nature. I will never forget that day I was out walking in the woods in Kentucky, and this buck and i saw each other. The buck came up to me , and stopped to check me out. I got this sense that this was a living being that demanding respect , and that there’s something greater than man kind. I wasn’t scared or uncomfortable, as he sniffed me. We met eyes one last time, before he went off into the woods. It was a beautiful moment ❤.
Insightful as always. We took a road trip last week from the desert to the forests of Arkansas. It is the same natural feeling but a unique feeling all of it's own. Each natural area has a power all it's own.
There is so many healing plants out there it is so beautiful to get out in nature!!
*From the ‘Desiderata’*
“You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.”
Whilst I find the entire Poem can cause me to become rather introspective ...even pensive... Max Ehrmann, [with but Two Sentences] imho, sums it up rather succinctly.
I had this on my wall for years..constant reminder of how special we are.
Beautifully spoken...
Bjorn, welcome to the hippie club my friend. Beautiful message, love your videos - been here for years. Love from Scotland!
VERY underrated video and message. Well and I feel the same, everything you say, the connection, everything. Even though I ahvent such a wide, and clean nature like in norwegian, it makes still a difference, going outside of big cities. Thank you very much, its nice to listen to wisdom that comes really from your inner self by own experience, and not from repeating others.
Hello from Arizona, U.S.! I decided to live in my RV 2 years ago and I still do. I’m fortunate to have public lands here in the western US as my home. I stay for free on these public lands - forests, deserts, grasslands, beaches. I never knew I’d develop the relationship I now have with nature. It’s indescribable! I need it. It feels like the trees welcome me. I know who the robin is. The cactus greet me in the heat of the desert. I listen to elk and coyote in the evenings. I wouldn’t trade this for any other lifestyle. I’m home here.
Greetings from England, I totally agree I find the forest to be a great centre for healing, especially if one has a spiritual connection nature. The soil of the homeland a sacred bond.
very well said!!! also going into the forest for at least 45min a day boosts your immune system as the air the trees release there are particles that you breath in and they trigger a stronger immune system.
Så enig med dig Bjørn. Jeg går tur 5 - 6 dage om ugen i skov. Det giver mig ro og stor glæde 💗🍀🇩🇰
Ja det er bare vidunderligt at være i skoven. Jeg kan slet ikke undvære mine ture i skoven og bare mærke den dybe indre ro og glæde💙
In Dänemark gibt es doch fast keinen Wald sondern nur Felder.
You spoke my heart...i also grew up playing in the woods. Last year in Oslo i had an amazing healing experience with trees and my ancestors...Smiles
Every since i have started doing my hikes in the forest, my anxiety has cleared up, and no depression.
"The everything of everything..." So simple and so awesomely true.
Thank you, Edy.
This only needs one word Wonderful
Beautiful uplifting words Bjorn
What a beautiful world of nature we have
Cold water outside shower has made me crave the full moon and clear skies
I wish I'd been doing it for years but so glad to have found it at all
Loved nature before but crave nature now
Green before grey is my term for spare time
❤️☮️
The compass you help guide lost souls is a blessing sir. Thank you.
Nature is the expression of my Creator!! the One that people try to catch in buildings or theories..
Norway is beautiful! Thanks for the videos!!!
I agree with you so much about getting out in nature.
Nature does heal! 👍😊
Beautiful words. I couldn't agree more. I hope more people realize this as the days go by.
Very well put Bjorn. We are taught religion but we know our true connection with nature through instinct and gut feeling. I see that you are always with the rock up-croppings, and the ancient trees. You can feel the connection with them, can’t you? It is an amazing feeling!
Yes, I do, Terry. And very well said about knowing our true connection!
Thanks Bjorn for taking time to share this message, you are someone worth listening to
