It was all worth it | Jonna Jinton
Hi my loves!
So here comes a very long video from my past two weeks. It includes everything from an ice bath in a very, very small ice pool, and a birthday party á la quarantine, and a little bit of struggle and bad luck, and the messy and wonderful time of April. And of course, lots of more! I hope you will enjoy it!
I really want to thank you everyone for watching my videos and for writing such lovely comments. I am always blown away by all the love you share in the comment section, with me and with each other.
I have the best subscribers in the whole world. I am so thankful for you all!
And I hope you all stay safe and healthy in this crazy time.
Sending you lots of love and light from Sweden! ♥

Light in the darkness | Swedish Lucia Tradition
In the very darkest time of the year, we honor the light.
December 13 is a very special day here in Sweden when we celebrate the Lucia tradition.
And for many years now, I have made it my own tradition to go out in the night to light up hundreds of candles with the intention to bring prayers of light and love our world.
It's always a very special and magical feeling, even if this night turned into a snow storm (will show you some behind the scenes in the next video haha)
The song that I'm singing is my own version of the traditional Lucia song.
You can find the Swedish lyrics and a English translation down below (or in the subtitles).
I hope you will like the song and the video. It's made with love to all of you ♥
Thank you so much for watching!

Kulning - Ancient herdingcall - A farewell song to the cows
The singing technique called "kulning" is an ancient Swedish herdingcall, that was used by women long time ago to call home the cattle (the cows and the goats) back home to the farm in the evenings. It was also used as a form of communication, since the high pitch sounds can be heard through very far distances.
I sang for the cows one last time before they had to go back to the farm for the winter. I always feel a sorrow when they leave the village in the autumn. Since May they have been here on the fields, bringing some life to our little quiet village with only 10 inhabitants in the middle of the northern woods.
The sounds of cowbells in the quiet evening is one of the best sounds I know. And I love the feelings of seeing them running towards me as i sing. Especially when I see my favorite cow, Stjärna (star). She is always the first one coming.
I already miss them so much.
I hope you want to subscribe to my channel!

Did you know that ice can sing? - Ice sounds - Singing ice
For as long as I have lived here I have been so deeply fascinated by these sounds. If you have been following me for some time you might have heard me talk about this before.
The sound of the ice is among the most beautiful and magical sounds I know, and I also believe that the sound can have a very healing effect on humans.
The singing ice can remind us of the sounds that the whales use to communicate with each other . And just like the ice, most of the sounds are such low frequency that you can not even hear it. Only barely feel it.
It also reminds many people of the sounds that can be heard from inside womb. Maybe thats why it has such a calming effect on many people?
So, my recordings is only giving you a little part of the magical feeling you get from the singing ice. The sounds in my video can't represent the whole feeling of being out on the ice and hear and FEEL the sounds. But at least I hope to give you a little glimpse of these musical concerts by the ice.

ICE SWIM | Feeling the power from the cold
The winter is here again, and this time I wanted to prepare myself for this 6 cold months to come. This winter I want to feel the cold as a source of power, and not the opposite.
I thought that taking a little swim in the ice cold water is the best way to start this winter, to really get into the very core of how cold feels like. Almost like a ritual. The ice swim become a symbol for not letting the cold take control of me.
And it's a way of testing myself. It's a strange feeling to do something when my whole body tells me to not do it.
This is something I will try to do regularly during this winter. Because taking a ice swim really has the most amazing effect on our body and mind. I have never, ever felt so full of live as the two times I have taken a swim in ice cold water. It's like giving your body a power start.
❄ THANK YOU

The story of my life - From a dream to reality
This video is about how I changed my life 8 years ago, when I left the citylife and moved 1000 km to the north and started a new life close to nature. Close to all the things my heart was longing for.
These 8 years have been so challenging and hard but also wonderful and magical in every single way. I have learnt so much from that day I came to the old house in this smal village in the forest with no money, no job and no plan on what I should do with my life.
But from that day I started living, for real. I started appreciating things that I had never even thought of when living in an apartment in the city. And I learnt that you can never feel the wonderful, comfort feeling of warmth if you have not yet been cold.
I started with nothing but a dream. And today, I live my dream. Everyday I feel so thankful for still being able to live here in my little paradise deep in the forests in the north of Sweden, and working with all the things I love, and sharing my life with someone I love.

THE FROZEN CALL - Ancient Nordic Chant
This is a song I created with inspiration from the call "Into the unknown" in Frozen 2 , with ancient herding-call "kulning" and the old viking instrument "Bukkehorn" which I now played for the very first time in a song (Still practicing :))
I filmed it all among the mountains of Marsfjällen, a place where a part of my heart always will be, and a place where I constantly feel drawn to the call of the wild mountains and the dancing rivers.
Sit back, relax, and let the call wake up your inner fire, your power and your soul.
I hope you will enjoy my piece of music! Let me know what you think of it!
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING ♥

Kulning - Ancient Swedish herdingcall
In the middle of the bright summernight I went out to call for the cows. I thought that maybe, something deep inside them, remember the sounds from the ancient times when people called for them over far distances.
They came running, together with a million mosquitos :)
But what a magical night.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING! ♥

The Art of Balancing Stones
The very first time I tried balancing stones was back in 2010. I saw some stone sculptures in a park, when an old, wise man told me that it was a symbol for the balance of nature. I liked that idea, and after that I started making easy stone sculptures. After a while, I started experimenting with balance and I tried to make stone sculptures that had such small balance points so that it almost would look impossible.
I really loved that.
Both because it felt like a challenge, but also because it forced me to get really still and quiet, and focus on one thing only; to find the tiny, tiny balance point.
It more and more turned into some kind of meditation.
I hope this video will inspire you to try it out yourself! :)

This is my version of the lullaby from "Ronja Rövardotter / Ronia the robbers daugther" written by our most loved Swedish writer, Astrid Lindgren , whose books have been read for children all over the world. This song from the movie has always been very dear to me, especially as I was a child. But still now, as an adult, I feel so much for this song.
For a long time now I wanted to make my own version of it, and make some small changes in the melody. What do you think? :)
I really hope you will enjoy my version of this song!
The Swedish lyrics and translation can be found both further down here in the description, or in the subtitles of the video.
