Hey Chris! Great topic! Thank you for your tips. I actually really needed a virtual spark to get out of procrastination. Keep up the good work! Love your videos! 😊

There are, from what I understand, some good scientific studies showing that getting into nature regularlty is beneficial for your physical and mental health. I recall some study that actually showed a significantdifference in people who simply had a view with some trees in it vs. just concrete and glass, pavement, etc. It's not shocking, I mean we evolved to be natural creatures in the planet. Look at hunter gatherers today. Not THAT long ago, that was ALL of us. They spend ALL their time in nature and their (and our) bodies are adapted to that kind of environment. We of course get conditioned to feel much more comfortable, at least many do, in enclosed spaces that are temperature controlled, and don't don't require a lot of movement. And of course, the more comfortable that is, the more it ends up hurting us in the end with chronic diseases, mental health issues, etc. Obviously it's not the only reason, but it's one of them. If you're interested a great read on this subject, that is not too heavy on the woo is Radical Wholeness by Philip Shepherd. I'm all in favor of people getting out in nature, as I mention, and I think that should be the first priority. However, there are certain locations that make that very challenging, either due to the lack of good nearby green spaces, the safety of those green spaces, etc. For those people who have these challenges and unfortunately can't move, the next best thing may be a "product." I think it's anyone's guess whether these things do what they claim to, but without more evidence, I would lean against it. One study and a bunch of anecdotes ton't prove anything. But, if people have no other option, it may be worth a few bucks to try something. It may be just a placebo effect, but placebo effects can be powerful sometimes, so if it can reduce suffering in any way, why not? The problem of course, is you're taking a big risk and people are out to take advantage of trends and false hopes, so just don't EXPECT it to work. Give it a shot and if it doesn't and you can return it, send it back, and hay, no worries, right?

Pls keep making videos. This one was genuinely inspirational. I started playing guitar a little over half a year ago. All tough I was thinking I might be too old to learn guitar, you sometimes just have to do what you are passionate about…

I’m a new subscriber after this video, I’m working with the idea of picking up the guitar or piano again after getting Rusty. Starting at the bottom with the Boulder.

You have a lovely voice - thank you for sharing this with us. I think sometimes the only point of a thing is that it gives you some joy. Not everything has to be about achieving or succeeding in the eyes of others. Whatever - whenever - your next video comes, you know I'll watch it and enjoy it too.

yo i just wanted to say that this video is incredible for 84 views. was on my homepage and i was just kinda shocked when i noticed like halfway through. keep it up!

I’m a guitarist, and as practical advice if you want to play guitar to a level you like, the key is playing everyday, even if for 5 minutes. Calluses are a very important thing, and if you’d like to have it a little easier, tune to a half step down and put a capo on 1.

I dont know how this will resonate Christian, but i never took ur videos as advice I took them as sharing and pondering the best ways to tackle and get better at being yourself and, you take a leap ( a correct one) and think this might be relatable to others. I watch every one of your videos, start from finish and even if you stop now ive enjoyed your content. Not because i think you have it all sorted out, or know something i dont (ie the teacher) But because its relatable and I appreciate your honesty, ur research and your perseverance :) I often ask myself why i make my music too......... but in the end i cant help it :) Hope to keep being lucky enough to see amazing thoughtfull videos!

Great topic. Thank you for explaining it so well. Top work with the camera. 😊

Loved this one, and the way you tied it into your knees/made that comparison to depression being like any other illness. I feel like there are definitely some genetic predispositions in our family and I've always told the kids that (all three are teens now and on medication for managing depression and anxiety). You just do the things you need to do to stay well and live the best life you can.

Christian, great video! but dang did u just run away and leave ur camera on the floor? lol. Ur gonna be needing that! loved this one, good mix of personal, info, and nice n nuanced. LOVED the shot changes! really made it fun.... seemed so for you too.

You are so so wrong my friend For older people like me in my 6th decade,the products I have purchased on the UK have literally been life changing. I had bad insomnia up to 10 months ago,I purchased a cotton silver thread bed sheet from Amazon..THAT WAS A SCAM. I then purchased a carbon infused bedsheet which plugs DIRECTLY into the grounding rod in the garden,this is still from day 1 now giving me 7-9 hours sleep,changed my life of insomnia hell of 2-3 hours sleep. I also use grounding patches for pain relief,earlier this year I had carpol tunnel and numbness in arm/hand. The patches have 99% alleviated this problem. I am allergic to grass so I can not put bare feet on the grass,though I can on Sand/Gravel and be Grounded. And for your info there is over 60 studies on grounding and Earthing not 1. Kind regards. And THANK YOU CLINT OBER for Grounding and Earthing.

Great Content. I feel the same and understand your view.

Really long way of saying go outside and touch grass lol great video and good advice

I always LOVED going to nature, I didn't realise I was meditating

Finland?😮 awesome video!

if you want to ground yourself, just touch your door handle, a metal surface.

Almost everything is a scam in one way or another.

It can be both legit and monetized (idk if it is legit, but it's possible)

There are also people stuck in their beds and grounding can help them recover. Then there I see a need that these products fulfill. I get the message of the whole video though.

The problem with natural healing is its a very holistic approach you need for it to even work. For example I think there is corilation between alkaline levels and the state your body sits in but for an alkaline diet to work fully you need to eat alkaline long enough that cells in your body are being replaced by alkaline foods it take a whole life commitment. Its not something you can eat good one meal and bad the next. Grounding I suspect alkalizes the body using natural current to pull it out of an acid state back to its sitting norm. Again though this would never work if you are eating acid reaction causing foods that inflame you right after you use grounding to anti inflame. tldr: I suspect grounding do work but only if you combine it with alkaline eating or it will be very minimal.

oh my goodness! there are products? that's amazing, hilarious, and also depressing. I'm so lucky that I live somewhere safe and close to nature. I get to inhale the sea breeze daily and hear the crashing waves when I step outside. I spend time in nature because it's good for my mental health and the term 'grounding' only meant connecting with nature to me before I saw this video, so I learned something new today! lol new and ridiculous. Nothing can replicate being in nature, and.... it's free to take your shoes off and step on grass for the most part (again, super privileged to live in a place where it's safe to be barefoot. I am frequently shoeless. My Canadian friend came to visit and has decided I'm an actual hobbit lol).

I love the animation, I love the turn of events, the message.. Once again a great video! (I will go now and touch some grass)

i don't understand why this channel is so underrated .... dude i love your videos so much

In Finland In National library is Old poems of Finnish people collected before Kalevala.

Agree, like they say, don’t break the chain..

I'm so glad it's helped/is helping! Sometimes it is the thing that makes all the difference

Hey Christian, awesome you had such a good expereince and sounds like you really got heard in a really good way judging by the type of medicine it sounds like your on and the results its having for you. I loved your nuanced take on it. Its barmy how many of the things you share and have gone through i can relate to, Will keep being happy every time you post some of your reflections! Ive been on a bit of a downer since the superset ended actually. Not huge as luckily i dont have huge depressions anymore, but still, that feeling of projects ending can really trigger thigns i feel.

Thank you for sharing your journey about this fragile / intimate / important topic. I am proud of you! Stay strong! 😊
