Connect with Icelandic traditions. Relax your mind, body and soul. Try something new. Step out of your comfort zone. All of these are possible with Sky Lagoon's The Ritual, a truly unique journey that's at the heart of Iceland's newest geothermal experience.




Into the Cold: A Journey of the Soul




Welcome! Enter through the cave-like entrance to the lagoon. It's time to settle in. Step into the warm waters and relax. Breathe in the refreshing ocean air. Float through a breathtaking canyon and take in a view toward Mount Keilir. To the other side, the rhythmic theatre of the ocean sets your breath free. Step 1 is about the journey from the changing room out towards the infinity edge. It's gently entering a state of serenity and calm where you feel relaxed and open to what is to come. Take your time!


Finally, rinse off the scrub in the shower. Then, step back into the warm geothermal lagoon. Lean back, close your eyes, breathe deeply, feel the results and enjoy the moment! Let all the benefits of this unique journey sink in. You'll feel every single muscle in your body is relaxed, rejuvenated and energized. When you're ready, head to the Lagoon Bar for a refreshment.


The second-to-last step in the awakening process, surrendering is all about releasing any remaining structures, beliefs, or facets of the ego that are keeping you from your truth. By this point, you've gotten to know your soul, you've figured out a lifestyle that works for you, but there may still be people or habits that hold you back. This is where you will release them so you can fully step into your power.


I have dealt with soul loss my entire life. I have been diagnosed with multiple personalities and just recently i have felt this intense urge to learn how to deal with it and other issues on a emotional, mental and spiritual level vs what modern medicine has done for me, which has not been much. Started after the death of my ex and him coming to me in my dreams trying to tell me something. Since i started this journey he has not been in my dreams.


As he continues his journey, Inman meets Veasey, who has been banished from his town and is now on his way to Texas to "start fresh." Inman tells him about the battle of Petersburg when Federals blew up Confederate trenches and the two sides engaged in gruesome hand-to-hand combat. They soon reach a roadside inn where Veasey goes off into a backroom with a prostitute. Inman shares a bed with a peddler who tells him how he lost his inheritance after he fell in love with one of his father's slaves and of the cruel treatment blacks receive in the South.


Inman, one of the novel's two main characters, initially thinks of himself as a peaceful man, but once he faces the battlefield, he discovers "fighting had come easy to him," which he considers "a gift." Yet this gift plagues him throughout his journey home, prompting him to wonder if after so much application of this gift, he has lost his soul.


In the chapter titled "like any other thing, a gift," Inman, after he has actually begun his homeward journey, encounters a racially mixed group of gypsies, who also help him to see the kind of resocialization and re-orientation process that will best serve him as he attempts to reintegrate into the society of his home. In initially observing these gypsies, a "jumble of people wearing about every thing of skin there is," he speculates that they are "outlaws and Ishmaelite as himself. Show folk, outliers, a tribe of Irish gypsy horse traders all thrown in together." Yet Inman feels a common bond with these multi-racial vagabonds, despised outcasts like himself, who similarly do whatever expediency demands for survival. As Inman notices, these gypsies use deception, transforming old horses so as to disguise their real features and defects, making them to appear young and vibrant. A veritable clinic in applied racial and ethnic equality, they engage in these and other duplicities for the benefit of all the members of their society. Discounting the morality of their actions, Inman, who neither narrow-mindedly condemns the gypsy clan's fraudulent behavior nor their social practices, bonds with them almost immediately. Moreover, they accept him without condition or suspicion, and "they [take] him in with apparent generosity," feeding and entertaining him, taking care of his basic needs and otherwise making him feel "at home." Interestingly, Inman observes and is attracted to a young, beautiful gypsy woman, and "something in the darkness of her hair or the way she moved or the thinness of her fingers reminded him momentarily of Ada." While apparently inconsequential, this encounter shows that the connection that Inman perceives between Ada, the woman he loves and to whom he wishes to return, and this gypsy woman functions to accentuate for him the principal reason he desires to return home to Cold Mountain. 2ff7e9595c
