Within the Oslac path, Healing (hælan – to make whole) isn’t just about the body, but is a complete, holistic process. An individual takes responsibility for himself or herself by taking an active role concerning their well-being. This is in direct contrast to the moden attitude of abusing our bodies, then rushing off to a doctor for some ‘magic’ pill. The 6 underlying aspects of health, as seen by the Oslac healer are as follows. Str?tian (to exert oneself) – exercise. Cardio-vascular, resistance and flexibility training should be a part of everyday life, as well as Rune Stancing and Wigráden (these are similar to martial arts) Æt (food) – a healthy eating plan low in fats and refined sugars, high in carbs and moderate protein and ensure to drink 2-3 liters of water a day. Geond?encan (contemplate) – Meditation is as important as the other two aspects. In Oslac meditation is a part of everyday life. Hlinian (rest) – Sounds obvious, but enough rest is vital, sleep is necessary for mind and body. Meditation is o use in resting but sleep, however, is vital, Most people need around 6 to 8 hours a night. Gedœlan (‘share) –Having someone to share the ups and downs of your life with is a preciouse gift. The expression ‘No man is an island’ is a valid one. The isolation of self can lead to all sorts of emotional problems. Love and laughter are powerful. Gesundgedigan (healthy benefit) – i.e. Therapies, massage, acupressure, dancing, chanting and drumming, Galdor Stancing etc,
