- We have had a beautiful winter so far. Very cold and lots of snow.
In this video I show you what's been going on in our lives here since my last vlog.
I also share some thoughts on the fear stopping us from trying new things or doing what we want. And I also talk about the making of the icesong video (my previous video that you can find here: • Song of the Ice - 1 h... )
❄ In the video I told you that I have made two versions of the song that you can download for free at my webshop. Here you find them:

I hope you like the video!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING ♥
Lots of love to you all!

Couldn't express it better myself. Jonna inspire everyone in the world. She show us another world so we can slow down a moment and reveluate our current life.
Absolute Truth!!👍🌾🍂🍃❄❄❄❄

I could not agree more. I’ve only just begun having seen around 3 videos but I am utterly speechless and can’t find the words if they exist to describe her beautiful spirit and her lovely videos.
You made a verybeautifull films at your surrounding places ,HAPPY CHRISMISS
"Because no matter what, it always comes down to what you choose to see"
I love that quote that she said.
This was something that stuck with me as well. Such a profound statement, so true! She is this mystic, spiritual person...
This is not a vlog. This is an epic Movie!
It is amazing up here😍😍

Pauline Strauss i was Goin to like but then i saw it lol

Me too))
🤗
Really is this a dream or desire?
Smitha Haridas both my dear. I will say it’s more of a dream. I hv always said that even when I was a kid. th-cam.com/video/sgKhk6CmbZQ/w-d-xo.html

Dear Jonna, everytime I'm watching your videos, I can feel the oneness... The true state of all beings. You reunite with nature, with snow, ice, wind, water... It's so fantastic, makes me feel home. Universal home. Back in heaven, where we come from... In our last reality there is no separation at all, and we are on our way back home, there is a calling many of us already have heard.... All my love for you and the whole universe...
Such beautiful words. Thank you with all my heart ❤
couldn't agree more to that 🙏🏻🍃
I loved it ❤️
❤️❤️❤️
thank you 🙏🏼 yes there is a big change going on 💚🌏💚....
I also come her when I am anxious and overwhelmed with life.
Saaame. Just now, i did that :)
Your videos are therapeutic, it always calms me
Thank you so much ♥
Wow I'm in awe your replying to me, I'm feeling so happy, thank you 😍😍
I love your movies, you are made for this.
Right
“No matter what, it always comes down to what you choose to see.” Yes, you are absolutely right, Jonna. ❤️
Lise Rene profound
This women is different, she looks like a pretty elf who just see the world in a completely different way than most of us. She has so much positive energy and vibes which is really contagious . It gives peace of mind whenever I watch her videos.
Recently I have felt so stressed and drained with events in my life...and watching your video has put me at peace for the first time in a while. When you talk about your passions you remind me everytime of what I love. The passion I have for things is sparked again and I feel thankful for all I have. Thank you xx
Lucinda Louise Yes exactly, sometimes we all need a wake up call, to hear somebody else’s perspective about life, being passionate about something again. 🥰
Yes exactly me to
and what was happening before "recently"? you were a happy camper?
I felt in the same way during watching Jonna's videos 😍😍😍 I started to write a books after months of not working a single word! I'm so thankful ❤️
є000й
You're the only one vlogger that makes me laugh, wonder, cry, rejoice, and wanting to live the same tipe of life...all at once! It is indeed a fairy tale time...with you! I love your work, keep doing it!
God bless you and your family!
A that's cheating ! Those were supposed to be my words. Lol.
Your videos ease my anxiety levels. Thanks.

they, for some reason, raise mine to a degree.

If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.

i cant fucking paint no matter what i do
@@Crylorz try a different medium like pastels there are many forms of art. I just haven't found one yet. Don't give up.
Oh you can drop the F bomb please .....
@@20greeneyes20 fuck.
@@Crylorz it just shows what kind of person you are, it's sad 😢
Crylorz Try paint pouring. Do some research, and if you’re interested just go for it!
Is it just me or does Nanook look even more majestic with snow?
I'd defnitely breed this snowbunny.
You are a wise woman. Thank you. Sharing your gifts with us so freely! Blessings to you and your beloved ones.
1:55 Being able to use the freezing snow to clean your carpets from dust mites is one of the great things about living up here in the north.
you dont need snow just freezing temps
@@FantaFuture92 The cold does some of the job, but the snow is the icing on the cake. The snow molecules actually polishes the fabric and makes the carpet feel and smell brand new. I leave my carpets out in the snow overnight sometimes. It's fantastic!
I would have never picked that up from the video alone, thanks for sharing. Super interesting.
@@BikeTouringMike hi sir
I really like how you spoke about that feeling of fear when we want to start something, and it can become and obstacle or deter us from even beginning things. And it may even linger for months to years. So relatable and resonating.
The best way to start Saturday to watch you video Jonna 😍😘🤗
Aww im so glad to hear that 😘❤
Watching your video give me a refreshing tastes life's. They are pure power of life , thank you so much to share this ancients emotions that are i side of everyone 🙏🖐️
LOVE YOU ! Somehow you bring me back to the essential in life, you reconnect me to a part of me that gets suffocated by living in a city. You inspire me to keep working towards my dream to move back into nature !
I love your video.You are so beautiful lady.so smart and love you! From Thailand.
In tears most beautiful and wholesome vlogs thank you so much for all the hard work u put in
Jonna, your words are captivating. They come from the deepest part of your being - your heart. I sensed the overwhelming emotion as you attempted to describe the sounds of the ice. THAT is what makes you the extremely special person you are - your genuineness and your connection to the wonder of Nature. Whatever you are able to capture and submit to the World is more than anyone could ask for. Thank you for being YOU! and for touching so many of us around the World. Watching you and Johan is as relaxing as a glass of wine. Thank you so much!
Thank you for living the way you do and sharing it with us ❤️ I can only imagine how challenging it is to live in winter wonderland
"couse no matter what, it always comes down to what to choose to see" thank you Jonna... beautiful words very needed in this rough times
You are living your dream....
Your beautiful and peaceful videos always make my day... 😍
Love from Switzerland....💙
Accha
Same here ! Kicks up my desire to really go out to the mountains again and again in Switzerland too!
Hi I'm also from Switzerland 😊🌹
me too :-) hi there, swiss followers of her 💌 I just posted my FIRST VLOG 😊 thank you for encouraging, J!!
th-cam.com/video/W_TtPxwKe74/w-d-xo.html
I'm from Switzerland too
it's sunny and about 10 to 15° degrees since one or two weeks
“Cause no matter what, it always comes down to what you choose to see” beautiful and wise words. And i needed those.
You are a reflection of true beauty and peace.
I just started to cry, when you talked about the ice. I don't know exactly why, but it hit me so deep. I'm crying in a way that I can't discribe, but I want to thank you for it!
Weird
Simply, thank you. You always remind me to be grateful, relax, and glow 💛✨
I have very bad anxiety and depression. Watching your videos are making me look at everything differently and its very helpful. You live a very simple life and you are so happy. That is truly amazing.
I hope you are doing well😊 life can be a blessing if we look at it from a different perspective:)
Jonna, you are Magic and what you create is magic as well. 💙
I listen to the ice sounds almost each night for sleeping or daytime simply relaxing my mind. Thanks for these sound recordings.
This is my first comment ever on any of your videos/vlogs. I always wanted to write something down here so I think now Is the perfect time for it. Thanks for letting me start my Saturday with watching this beautiful winter wonderland in whom you life in. There are no words to describe how I feel when I see Nanook (?) sitting in the snow starting to get covered by new falling snow :) you and your family are so pure human beings. I see your vlogs and it calms my longing heart. Since my early childhood I felt this longing to be around nature. To see and feel and breath it into my lungs. My life since 5 years (my mother died bc of cancer and my father got an alcoholic I am 16 years old) is really tough for me but thinking about wildlife makes me happy. People always ask me why i am not depressed or suicidal? Of course I do understand why they think I should be BUT for me life is the most precious gift we ever going to receive. We have to take care of it like we would take care of a little bird which broke it‘s wing...and seeing you Jonna...Being that happy and also having a positive mindset just brings me so much joy. I’m never going to stop watching your videos :) thanks for being you🥰❤️
I swear, there is nothing more wholesome on TH-cam than your videos, Jonna. Bra jobbat, och må du fortsätta länge och väl!
Sweden is a beautiful country! Thanks for this amazing video ❤️
I think THAT fear is a combination of fears, the fear of not doing good enough, the fear that you don't have enough time, the fear that it might be a waste of time because no-one (or not enough people will appreciate the work) and also the fear that you are not in the right mindset.
It could be one of those , a couple of them or even more or other fears. but these I think these are the most common, especially for a perfectionist.
But there could also be environmental fears like "I am definitely going to freeze if I do that".
All those things combined can make something you actually love doing less preferable.
At least that's my take
I love your videos. When I watch them I see, I feel, I hear a life I want to live. The views are so amazing, honestly you make me wonder what I really want to do with my life. I want to travel, I want to experience nature, I want to feel at home and at peace❤❤❤❤
We're always learning something from you in each video we see. You are an artist, and you give us peace, which is priceless. Thank you so much!!
Beautiful Jonna, thank you so so much for all the beauty you bring into the world. Thank you so much for the Ice song it is amazing, and I have just dowloaded the raw version and wow you can really hear it, it is magnificent. Love that ice sounds change every year, and love that this year it is strong and low like coming from the depths of the Earth, from the depths of time. It is such a great soundtrack for our zeitgeist...life is hard and beautiful and those ice sounds are perfect to go deep inside. Thank you will never be enough but Thank you is all I can say. Love you. S.
The struggles you face in winter, the amount of hard work you put in, eventually makes you a stronger person day by day, and it also makes you more humble, which really purifies your heart and soul 💗
It has been snowing A LOT also here in Finland! 😱 And you are right: everything is so much slower and harder with that much snow everywhere 😅 Still, I love this frozen view, silence everywhere, fireplaces and candlelight ❤️ So lovely vlog again! Take care 😘
Scandanavian countries are freezing in winter and that's lovely!
How lucky you are 😊
I've already watched all your videos but as I battle cancer again I'm living through you again and it's always magical.
Sweet angel. You are here to awaken us all with your purity. You are GAIA incarnate 🙏🏻💖
The Singing of the Ice is, by far, the most emotionally primal and beautiful sounds. I love the sounds of thunderstorms and rain as well….and the howling of the blizzard winds…
its unbelievable how authentic this is
I know! 🙂.
Your Swedish accent is the cutest thing ever! Love it!
Yes! I love that you shared that feeling of fear prior to painting. I've long had that. I wonder if maybe it's because, in order to make art, we have to surrender ourselves to something that channels through us to make the work great. We have to set aside ourselves and our worries. It's like a kind of death of ego and rebirth into beauty. For me, I can lose hours to it in the blink of an eye. When it's inspired, it's an altered state, like a drug almost. A natural ayahuasca trip. And knowing you're about to enter into that can feel scary. But the more you do it, the more it shows in your spirit. Case in point - your very intuitive, aligned, and radiant soul we all have come to know and love 💚
How beautifully said
it's called the "flow"
Jonna you are wise beyond your years; you realize many things that take living a long life to acquire. (how our brains will talk us out of doing something for one example.) We must power through that which is basically what you said.
Love sweden woods. Greetings from germany.
Que importante reflexión has hecho, eso que describiste tan bien es justamente el peor enemigo del ser humano, lo que te detiene y estanca, el miedo. Por eso es tan importante lo que tú haces, tu ejemplo de vida estoy segura ayuda a mucha gente a animarse y abrirse camino. GRACIAS por ser como eres, me encanta ver tus videos cargados de amor y alegría, oír tus bellos cantos, los paisajes mágicos, etc, etc. Felicitaciones a tu mamá por tener una hija con tanto talento 🤗
The thing you said about freezing mouth was so true. I feel the same whenever I go to the forest in winter. It's so quiet that I almost feel like It'd be a crime to say anything. This morning however I heard so many birds coming back to the Polish mountains. Spring is on its way
I use what's called a buddy heater for ice fishing it uses small bottles of propane. That may be an idea to stay warm while painting. I love your videos and look forward to seeing more. ❤️❄️
Are you on earth? Sometimes i doubt that you are living somewhere in universe. You are living my fantasy life in reality. Love you from India.
Where are you from..in India?
Race mixing is an abomination rajeesh
@@ST0RM777iii Cross beed dogs are the healthiest. Pure bred have the problems.
You are such a beautiful soul. I love how you recognise the sacred in everything. That is very special and insightful.
Beautiful as always, Jonna. Thanks for being here and sharing your world with us.
I'm so happy I found your channel, Jonna. I watch your videos before I go to work and it puts me in a good frame of mind.
Your artistry can transcend the boundaries of the media in which you’re working. Whether video, painting, photography or music I appreciate when you share the essence of winter, it awakens childhood memories from many years ago. Thank you. 🤗😊
Your videos are therapeutic in a way words cannot explain. Thank you.
Your video came at just the right time as I sit in the middle of the night with my sick little boy😇watching you Is like having a good friend here with me to keep me company❤ I'm so proud of you for standing up to that voice that tells you not to create, and just doing it! Lots of love from Becky, Oregon, USA
I hope your son is better now
This one I cried alot. Touched my heart. You know...about getting stuck and or not having the energy to push.
The fear of starting a new painting is sooo familiar to me...I'm experiencing that very often))) Thank you for the inspiration :-* You are just magical.
So cold if i go there i were thick clothes
you and your family are the embodiment of freedom and creativity for me. It is an aesthetic pleasure to look at the harmony of a person’s life with its ego in nature. Thank you so much.
You are the most inspiring person in the world...💛
Thank you for showing that you do not have to be perfect to be happy...
I love how natural and beautiful you're videos are. You are such a bright, hopeful and positive person and motivate with you're kind. Whenever I watch you're videos, I feel the urge to go inside me. I am suddenly full of ideas and get creative...
Thank you, Jonna!❄️
What you're saying about thoughts stopping us is insanely true and it's one of the things I rarely think about , all this hindrance created by thoughts. But for us, feeling types, we have to stop thinking as often as we can, emotions helps put into motion but thoughts can ruin all the envy.
Then at some, we obey so much our thoughts that we end never feeling like it, and so we are in a vicious circle and now we have to put discipline to find our emotions again and we're anxious because at the beginning we never have this emotional reaction, this feeling. And our creative work cannot be fueled by sole discipline. That's my biggest issue in life, this resistance my thoughts create. I'm creative but I hinder myself all the time by thinking and not doing
I love your videos. I live in the north of Argentina where the temperatures are extreme but contrary to the cold they have there. We are enduring temperatures of almost 55 degrees and your videos make me think about how wonderful it is to live in a place like where you live.
I have never been a winter person. I hated winter, and longed for the summer constantly. Your videos are helping me TREMENDOUSLY fall in love with winter!!!
I was so happy to see this new video. Your view of the winter is so beautiful. At one point I felt like you were speaking directly to me when you spoke of fear keeping you from trying new things. You are so right. I need to work on that. I must say (again) how much I love Nanook. He is so beautiful and I can tell how much he loves you - it's a beautiful bond you have. I wish I had a dog exactly like him. I wish you, Johan, Nanook, and your families warmth and love. 💗
Watching your video makes my spirit still feel alive, thank you so much for making such a beautiful video❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love when the trees 🌲 are covered in Snow ❄️
Hi Jonna, My name is Wiktoria and I line in UK, but I am Polish. I follow you for some time and these days I am catching up with old vlogs. I struggle with depression and low self-esteem, and other things for a long time and as I am watching this vlog I can't not comment of what you said regarding the thoughts in your head that stops you from doing things. I have the same and it is really hard and hearing you have that as well and yet you manage to do such an amazing job with your TH-cam channel and jewelry, it is inspiring. I love your channel and I hope I will be able to visit Sweden one day. Sending love to you, Johan, Nanook and your family xx
I feel better and uplifted watching your videos. I always look forward to your next vlogs
hello jonna, sometimes I don't feel good and everytime connecting with my roots helps me feeling better and since I live in a city now the gate you have to nature helps me more, so thank you, every video you put out have a meaning, i wish I could have that with my work in the future, again thank you.
Beautifully shot video and put together.
My daughter loves your 🐕
Dear Jonna,
I cannot begin to explain how inspiring your life has been to me over the past few weeks. I think I found your channel at just the right time in my life. You are a kindred, beautiful spirit. Bless you and your entire family.
I know I watched a previous vlog where you shared your vlogging gear - a handle that helps videos not be shaky. Would you mind commenting on my comment and sharing what you use for a camera and handle.
Again - stunning and inspiring on all levels of life.
Good cheer, Roxie
Magnificent,as all your videos.You are a real artist and so expressive that I feel like I'm just there.Will do my first travel to Sweden in April.I am from Slovenia but living in Belgium.The landscapes of Sweden remind me of my home country.I have ancestors from Norway,I didn't even know,my late grandma told me years ago.Continue doing a great work,you teach people that they need to see and feel the nature.
What a beautiful this Swedish Winter!! It's magical! In spite I am from a place where we have sunny days all of the year, I am incredibly fascinated by this white cold frozen scenery..
Woke up to the notification of this - exactas what I need after my stressful finals at uni this week ❤️ Gorgeous video as usual, lots of love to Nanook, Johan and you, Jonna! 💫
Your videos and passion for just, life, and living and these beautiful simple things. I think a lot of us forget sometimes about how amazing the simple things in life can be. Like my love of agate stones and searching for them in the rain. And your sweet voice and soothing music makes my children and I so happy when we watch your blogs. Thanks so much for the inspiration and comfort! Love from USA Mississippi 💕
You really are an incredible human being. Sending love from UK
Watching Your videos is a way to meditate and relax.
Atmosphere, sound, voice, light, frame... everything is just very beautiful.
And the sound of ice, and the idea that it is spirits awakening under the ice, is incredibly beautiful.
I just fell in love with this sound when I heard it.
It also reminds me of whale singing. As if you are in a certain space of fog, where icy threads shine like strings playing their own special melody, and in this fog you see the silhouettes of huge leviathans, the flickering of spirits in this ocean of purity and cold.
It is an incredible feeling and I'm very grateful for them, as for the inspiration.
Your life inspires me to live.
Best way to start the morning, breakfast and a whole new video of you, so happy right now! Thank you so much for sharing!
You have this gift of putting words in the most beautiful way! Everything you say about winter and the sounds of ice gives me goosebumps ❤❤❤
Aww, thank you so much for your kind words
Sending love from Värmland 😊❤ I love this video. And even down here I thought it would never stop snowing but I loved it. And also like you said we appreciate when spring and summer comes when everything get so much easier. Winter is very magical ❄ It feels so magical when its -15 and I'm out on my cross-country skiis and the sky is clear and dark and full of stars. I almost get teary eyed how beautiful and magical it feels. 😍
I don't know how you do these winters. They are magical and beautiful to look at, but i can imagine that it is a lot of hard work, just to stay warm. How do you keep such a positive outlook. I have seen enough of your vlogs to know that you have trying moments, but over all you have a state of positivity and grace that lets you be so inspiring.
Sometimes I feel like I have to work so hard to stop being grumpy about nothing.
I am a painter and have had a continuous painting practice for a long time. For me it is a process, and I have come to trust the process. I paint everyday, but sometimes that looks like me going to my studio, and looking, and maybe putting one line or brush stroke down, and sometimes it is me getting lost in time. I don't always know what I am working with, but I trust the process so much, and I know that what I am working with will reveal itself to me.
I work in layers too, and sometimes it takes a long time for a painting to evolve. I know now over time, that the beauty will eventually reveal itself to me, My art is one of my greatest teachers.
If there is an evil in the world, it would be fear. In the past I was driven by it, and now I address it as soon as I realize it is trying to take the wheel. Yes, fear keeps us from living life, fear blocks us from joy, fear is a magnet for more fear
My favourite thing about snow is when I look up and snow is coming down and it look like it's coming from no were and it's so magical,what's yours ?
Your voice jonna is so soothing and beautiful I loved that video
Nice to know she appreciates Mother's Nature...
I relate to the painting situation. I get that with all of my art. The fear of the blank page, the voice discouraging you just a bit. You gave great advice though! You just have to do it anyway!
I caught a couple of english language things, and I hope you don't mind if I point them out! I love seeing you ask Johan for words in English, and I want to help too! Hearable should be Audible. Also, we say "time LEFT over," not "time over." That said, I love your accent and that you vlog in English!
Lastly, thank you for your videos. They fill my heart with peace and wellbeing. I feel like I can sleep soundly after watching.
I think it's so cute how she pronounces 'cozy'
You are such a breath of fresh air! Your content resonates so much within my soul and you remind me to connect to nature every chance I get. I never knew that I wanted to spend time listening to the ice sing! You have awakened something that has been hiding inside me for so long and you inspire me to become the best version of myself I can be! Thank you
I love your ice painting and your ice sound in an audio. Thank you for sharing your talent Jonna ❤️ Love from The Netherlands 🇳🇱 ❤️
I know exactly what you are feeling…I too feel this kind of hesitation to paint after I haven’t painted for awhile…Painting is like a meditation, it is an inner journey that we must travel, and this takes trust and confidence in ourselves and that desire and our ability to create…We must find that inexplicable thing inside of us, that moves us …
But, when we lose touch with that inexplicable thing…, we must find it again, and rebuild it .
Oddly enough, once I move through that hesitation and fear,and JUST START to paint…like they say “ Just DO”! Then I find it again, and then I regain my confidence and begin to trust myself to listen to my inner voice and I then I just become a conduit for the painting to happen; to just flow directly out of my soul in a spellbinding and most naturally satisfying way….
….
But sometimes, it does take a few practice runs…..
❤️❤️❤️❤️ the most beautiful person on this planet
That's also you 💖
You truly are ethereal and transcendent - what a joy and gift you are to us… many blessings and much love…
Another amazing video Jonna, inspires my senses, give Nannook a big hug and kiss, his feet have super powers to deal with the snow and ice 😉💜💜 ~ Blessings to you all, so happy to see the sun for you!
The introduction with the music, images and your words are just perfection.
Your video's are breathtaking and relaxing.. I always smile when I am watching your video..
Your dog is the most chill thing ever
I absolutely adore your lifestyle. You're an inspiration for me to be brave and creative. Thanks for sharing! Lots of love from the otherside of the world.
(Ps: i love drawing and painting barefoot too )
Oh my goodness this is exactly how I feel about getting back to my writing after a while, I always think I am not ready, that I should wait for inspiration, it's the first step that is so difficult. I am so relieved I'm not the only one that has this fear. I just love your beautiful videos, they are such a comfort. Thank you for sharing your life.
Where I live is summer right now, felt refreshed watching this.♡ My dream is to be alone is the northern forests enjoying nature just like you...
its a relief to know it's not just me that has that voice inside my head that sets hesitation in motion as your feeling motivated to try something new . I believe getting out of your comfort zone is when you create something new and original for yourself. I had the feeling a couple weeks ago right after a big snowfall and the sun was out. The photographer in me said go get the best shots cause there won't be fresh snow and sun for god knows how long with the crazy weather patterns,then i hesitated for a moment while in bed.. Glad i did it,even with frozen hands, I got great shots!
thanks for sharing your life
