Ooh, I looove the African bantu knots mamas-it's giving "Sistah-gurlie-90s-Bjork" vibes and I'm here for it!!! 🤩 P.S. HappY Mother's DaY to your dear Mom!!! 💝 P.P.S. I think the waterfall immersion therapy is both unorthodox and holistically refreshing, which is right up my alley though I couldn't stop giggling when you let that "expletive" fly out due to the freezing cold! 😂
Well done Jewels…so many things that we’re not exposed to! Your ability to do something for your health and well-being is phenomenal. I love your channel!
You go gurl! We must all challenge ourselves be it mind, body or both! I felt the cold 🥶. I do something similar, but in the shower. I am nowhere near your stage. You are correct in that it helps your breathing and especially in cold weather. Take care of yourself Jewells. The world is under a lot of pressure.
We're in Sweden and spring is finally here and chance of frost is over, hope the same is going on in Iceland (Island). Just saw a video of a group planting a million trees where trees once lived to give a forest a chance to come back in that part of your country. Glad you're showing how much amazing nature there is.
Unfortunately, chances of frost is never over. Every plant and bug living on this island has to be hardy enough to survive the spring "umhleypingar", where you might get a week or more of warm spring days, and flowers are starting to spring from the ground, and then BAM, frost again. With no regularity or predictability. While this is the bane of most plants and trees that are not hardy enough (though luckily we have enough hardy breeds of trees for the reforestation), on the bright side it is also the reason we don't have mosquitos even when much colder countries such as Greenland do. When the frost leaves and the mosquito eggs hatch from hibernation, a surprise return of frost kills them before they lay new eggs. So Iceland remains mosquito free!
What a fascinating experience! There is so much we still do not know about the mind/body connection. Thanks for sharing this adventure. Btw, love your sweater.
I am so happy you did this video. I visit Iceland yearly and I wanted to do this last June. Never got the guts to do this. I'm so happy you shared that there's help to acheive this.
This does look challenging! Congrats to you! I was doing some breathing exercises during Covid lockdown, and found it was much harder than I had anticipated. I think you motivated me to get back to that.
What I took from this adventure is your commitment to "be ok, no matter what". There are many modalities to arrive at that place, prayer, mindful meditation, yoga, chanting, etc. What I am most proud of you for is choosing to face the pain, walk through the pain and learn to adapt to the pain, aka: anything life throws at you. This breathing/cold water immersion method requires guts, perseverance and facing your demons. You didn't run from them, cover them up or medicate them .... you faced them squarely on! You did it, Jewells, and you are stronger, healthier and more resilient as a result!
This is fantastic! I heard an interview with WH on the Rich Roll podcast four or five years ago but never actually got around to doing it until a month ago and love it. I saw the WH trip in Iceland and would love to do it. Maybe next year. (Just found your channel a couple weeks ago but love it. Keep up the great stuff!)
Love this video! I can see how something like this would help someone be able to not only physically, but psychologically be able to withstand uncomfortable or not idea situations in life overall. I've heard it's great for your mental and physical health too! Great job on doing that! Beautiful waterfall area!
OK, the breathing looks a little like yoga, but I had trouble getting into Bahamian water last week. I thought you were going to just jump in. It takes a good 5 minutes for me to get into water up to my waist if it's not warm. hm, You have succeeded in your challenge.
There are for sure similarities to yoga. However, there were aspects of it that have been more intense than anything I ever experienced in the yoga classes I have to. What I love about getting into and out of the water is to calmly do it. Using your breath to control your heart makes the process so effective. ❤
I just found your channel. I’m a Nyc native currently living in Aix en Provenance. Do you have a video on your beauty routine? It can be tough for brown girls living abroad to find affordable products 😮
