Gregorian Calendar vs. Sami Practices
00:05:44
Speaker
We're going to start the year 1. January, the Gregorians calendar, which is in alignment with nature. It was a Pavard who found out that he would and they impover some fantu totonsularla and we do it in the the dark, little cold time to
00:06:26

00:07:09
Speaker
you can follow the astronomical events also. or If we look back, we have found a old samus primstav calendar, which is divided by 13 months 28 days each month. This means that is that
00:07:45
Speaker
ah who rainliing ain ne pohay umin of for bere there And the the see the weather. But it's winter for few months. But you can see the weather starts at the sun. you can move more after a few months.
00:08:06
Speaker
or moncabio bewa with meprosa hat raactta par monterrie eru who still let america I darkness. I try to nature on this way.
00:08:18
Speaker
alti I talked to a that and they have snow or come in the the 20. mars, and it's interesting that a were on-cobled.
Ceremonial Offerings to Nature
00:09:10
Speaker
Yes, really. But this ball that you like to take around our own døgn, what represent it? The solar represents the light, the warm and life. If we look at the element the wind, it's the heat that gives the heat, the movement, which will get things to wake up, and can get a little bit of blood after it's still in the long winter.
00:09:48
Speaker
and So do you just sit with the bowl or do you do something with then so what the so sit with the and a little offering to the bowl.
00:10:00
Speaker
whom ah out alif aov at the myliil no It a It I can throw some fruit on the for seeing the new fruit for the new year.
00:10:17
Speaker
I echo there there's some ah either somemasqical twin specialelto the it has been a pretty much undertyk culture, an ondulillah, many years, many generations. But we have always had the We do not do anything big out of it.
00:10:40
Speaker
I can the daily life. So we don't have any big, pompous offerings or anything. It's more everyday things where we go out turn it on. We can throw some water on the bowl or throw a little.
Daily Gratitude Practices
00:11:04
Speaker
We just let this event, which is our home day, is to have to And to mark it, we for the not a there were I in
00:12:05
Speaker
So you don't have to go back to it. not so many generations. So I think that it's a... of whether we and we live in a try. It's a very thankful thing for you are overla and winterro you can say frail and nivo that year. think that's a weird thing to do on this time of year.
00:12:29
Speaker
I have really had to have overlept winter and come through the morn. It's not always a very valuable practice. It's so easy to wait for special things to happen to get something to do before you are able to practice the small things. And it's not to have to have to do the small things. And it's not have to have to the winter. It's not to have to say, I've got to have to have to do it through a winter or year.
00:12:55
Speaker
I today's society has other challenges, because we see that we have an epidemic of of depression and and a the
00:13:27
Speaker
and And we can call it a epidemic because it's so many that are sick. And I think that a part of it is that we take everything in life for granted. It's not just a small part of or but it,
00:13:57
Speaker
And I notice that the thankfulness, the good feelings and good thoughts are in me when show you thankfulness for things. and So,
00:14:18
Speaker
Even though it's very normal things that At i dag så kjørte jeg hjem, og kona mi slapp å kjøre, hun kunne sitte og slappe av, så sier hun til meg når vi går ut av bilen, takk for at du kjørte.
00:14:31
Speaker
Så at jeg fikk oss trygt hjem. Og det er jo vanlig, men det er en sånn symbolhandling som gjør at bygger en slags takknemlighet, og gode følelser for livet inni seg da.
00:14:46
Speaker
En slags hemmelighet som jeg tenker at mange kan være godt av å
Symbolic Acts in Cultural Practices

And it does not mean that you can find the stream of light in the the evening with the konfirmant of the journalist, where they had all had the opportunity to trekking a short that was on a board where everyone would have to trekking their own short. And so he was there who took a short that had to talk about. And so I asked him, do you know what the short says to you?
00:16:10
Speaker

00:17:33
Speaker
We give a offer to bowl, for example, or we bring it out in nature, because we are thankful what comes.
Cultural Transitions and Well-being
00:17:42
Speaker
And as I mentioned, on this time, the rain begins to move from winter to summer to summer, in the same culture, at least in the rain.
00:17:56
Speaker
Sandvik culture is much more than the a start flooding started,

00:18:48
Speaker
ah for to offer it, in fact, for them to hope that nature responded to it and that rain was guided by the way they were.
00:19:07
Speaker
I like the idea that you want to be thankful for something on the front. ah Joe Dispenza, who is a meditation teacher, who works very well with this, with the strength of the strength.
00:19:18
Speaker
He is very excited about happen. And of will happen to happen.
00:19:36
Speaker
Yes, you have been in India as well, and are also offering. They offer for example, flowers, fruit, and fruits, and have great ceremonies for...
00:19:57
Speaker
forjo yeah I would say, offer it to Guds so that it that comes shall be good for them. It's very interesting that it's something that goes on over whole world. One thing is to do a ceremony, but today will meet someone who...
00:20:20
Speaker
si scalammertin onesome I think great thing to meet the people are care of them. For example, these are very very very things. I thought about depression as our times epidemic. When you think about it, you know, I've been through a winter for year, so it had been over-leaved. But for many of us are like, oh,
00:20:46
Speaker
for no for mon yeah usually kiddago oh nor no endly comedy tybo yaham ma ya non and na toni parri woman where i senty de premartra that the refual nonling would for us sam monif flare de preie de no and and ti lire ah yeah thank you what for among us they also salamda not too liardt maa introvaro linta aer and v ati sublido and and i impos serving for the yaman eana v la teen corel de mi poharim example hall fromma telephones and especially al for un e caant from mari sitna team at the team Now And
00:21:31
Speaker
Med tanke på hva man has a very active body, but with a body that is completely in a room, can remind you of a type of response in the body. Where body and body ager as you are completely passive, for you are living, but body goes full tempo because it is overactive and stress.
Nature, Nervous System, and Mental Health
00:22:04
Speaker
So the body and body are gian of it as Here it's life-sensitive, why this person is completely in the room, but spins in the head. And so will also create emotional reactions, such as depression or anger over depression.
00:22:24
Speaker
The cure for depression and angst is to begin to move on. It's not to keep going still, it's not to sit in row and meditate or sit and relax, for it's for light. It's to be in a row with a full tempo. So it's to come out and begin to move on. And there are many people, especially those who experience depression and angst in winter,
00:22:47
Speaker
the de literaner are thevael soarro variria ittoeril lerioly sammara the norm war so ko we may not too little or at high for the yet we hardly surviv It out so the fryses that we have been in winter.
00:23:09
Speaker
Interesting what you say about nervous system, how we do Of course, nervesystem is a very old system in our body, in relation to the cognitive thinking.
00:23:25
Speaker
and or a through do I you're in on something very

00:24:56
Speaker
or that we some some what haven't done in And a I think it's important be aware that you come out of create, which is art bubble. To make a
00:25:25
Speaker
but but or u and or just set yourself down and mark it or be convinced that our everyday life is a shift in nature. It's a shift in the sky also. The night and the day are like long. You mark that
00:25:45
Speaker
that light has won over the light from now and next half of the year, so it's more light than light in the course of the day. And just to make a reflection over it and make a mark to it.
00:26:01
Speaker
I think many people go in a in life, so that you don't think that it's a why it's happening.
00:26:16
Speaker
So thank cut theybar and ah ur than li le mar carria in this I it

00:28:23
Speaker
of our Jevndang for to remind us about that now comes a life. Now will it be a new thing. And just take time to think over all the old myths we have for example. Today Disney filmed almost all the to think over that it actually The story of the story is a symbol for what we're ready to see, or a sort of a way to show for us men. And it's also something we've forgotten, which think is very important to focus on.
00:29:05
Speaker
I don't know what you think about it.
Cultural Practices Impacting Health
00:29:08
Speaker
I think it's very exciting with myter, how we can give us meaning or set things in context that makes reflect over something in life. I think it's very exciting. But this is about the contact with nature.
00:29:24

We've a lot of resources through cars and transport. We've got a lot of natural resources. So, all the ways get to nature, I think, is very meaningful.

00:30:59
Speaker
or or this' message are flo mad And with this pustesyklus, for we have this pustesyklus in our way, when we do this pustypels specifically, we can always be like long. It's remind ourselves that we part of nature where we have these four years and where after the dark winter comes summer and then comes summer.
00:31:34
Speaker
ah they And that we are a part of a type of a cycle, that this cycle is our way, which is inspired by outside of the but life where you think in-pust is young and
00:32:15
Speaker
We must remind ourselves min noellamata imo a craftfty li etcran a salumna ye nedi rest no dienni damman army yeah crafty won salam theer gold to no example freenna come me up offer mya you a little um and i also some at the at the door not the common leave and but they they are the i there are of the that it has been a death.
00:32:48

00:32:56

through day e then norgen toluy and some so you flare a flay dog talk to bach as sal the nikava soev and the in orrigepo and soon so there will eon some air vddens cudinna vo that all day a young applon which gives young people's strength or sure. And mythology or story is that
00:33:44
Speaker
If I remember it wrong, I've been reading this video. But in winter or the jolten. And
00:34:07
Speaker
I don't remember how it was, but think that story of Idun is the telling of the mythological story about the war that always comes back to give a new life. can see that the consciousness around the years has been found
00:34:23
Speaker
so what they will we kind of say at that of then habiviss teta and arianha finness I many, many thousand years in eraal traditional now or e pluxs authorityity or sa surviv wi care on the and than the daily life.
00:34:49
Speaker
It's just in the modern society that you drive with the oddness or you're interested in holism. But before christening has maybe made a lot of ugang there because we have moved on to the oddness in a room.
00:35:08
Speaker
where we have put a press as a kind of and little bach is joy dispens also so modernan forning room trero the and
00:35:37
Speaker
is always a sign that something is separated from the whole. All sykdom is sign that something in you is separated from the whole. or allle haam lemit to lu gu andla has gamlet todi shu non um kring And
00:36:05
Speaker
not just your own whole, but first and foremost, if it's a part of you that are separated from yourself, because in modern research can you say that trauma is because a part of you have separated from you, and that will be a disease in a certain way, in a certain way, but also when a part of you are separated from nature or from the earth,
00:36:34
Speaker
from the so you. the we It's the world that's laced up to that, for example, mid on winter, when we actually go down, we set up the pace day.

If you can say it on a better way. I think that we are separated from
00:37:57
Speaker
That's interesting to see.
00:38:02
Speaker
how it is maybe the reason for all and epidemics we have in our society. I about the Idunist the strength comes back. It's not Life-kraft has always been there. that it's been a bit of our
00:38:58
Speaker
It's a a If you don't a little or craft either they are
00:39:27
Speaker
balance between stillness and
00:39:54
Speaker
learning I would like to try it. I'm going to go out to the woods and put it on.
