Self-care is, thankfully, a growing trend, and we certainly recognise how important it is to look after oneself, especially when days seem darker. Stress permeates our lives all too often, with fast-moving technologies and fast-track lifestyles, it can certainly take its toll, and it is now more important than ever to take a beat, slow down, be in the moment, not thinking so much about what comes next.
Something that Icelanders call „að jarðtengja sig“, literally meaning „to connect oneself with the earth“ is what they have been doing for generations. Holding tight to the very roots of nature has resulted in a longer life. Icelanders tend to live an average age of 80 years, and around 20% of the nation even lives beyond 90 years, making the whole country somewhat of a blue zone, as it is amongst the countries whose residents live longer than most.
Connecting to our planet has shown to have positive effects on many diseases such as heart or coronary artery disease, arthritis or autoimmune disease. Að jarðtengja sig is for everyone who wants to live a longer, healthier life, and it has shown that this special method of reconnecting also has positive effects on the troubles we face in our daily lives such as anxiety, stress, insomnia, depression, swelling and pain, etc. Healing mind and body.
So, how does one connect to Mother Earth like an Icelander? It is beautifully simple, you just have to spend time outside and leave your phone at home! Iceland has such unique nature and endless opportunities to connect. Whether that be lying in the grass, drinking from natural springs, hiking through the canyons, walking bare foot on the black sandy beach or in natural streams.
Our bodies are exposed to positive ions through the technology surrounding us. We need a good balance of positive and negative ions, if we get too much of one it puts everything off balance. So we need to recharge our negative ions through the earth. After just one week of reconnecting daily for roughtly 20 minutes you can feel the difference as your mind, soul and body has recharged all the negative ions from the earth and created a balance for a better life.
Interested in reconnecting to Mother Earth in the unique nature of Iceland? A week in Iceland will recharge all your batteries, and so you will be ready for whatever your next chapter in life will be.
So, komdu að jarðtengja þig með HL Adventure!
