As I always say, these videos are like a reset on my brain, always forcing me to breathe and bring me back to where I belong. I get so emotional watching these beautiful works of art. I wish I could sit down and have a cup of tea with every single person in each of these videos, sharing life stories and wisdom. This channel is so necessary and I try to share it with everyone I know. Thank you so much for the important work you are doing for the world. ❤️

My little boy is still alive today. He had it rough, but at the point the choice to live or die came, I chose to keep him alive, no matter what. I take care of him, I nurture him, and I give to him, what he is missing. He still yearns to know the why ?? And I don't have those answers, and I don't think we will ever know why, but I have pieced together all the information I have to paint him the partial picture of the why. This message is poignant. Yes, I am grateful every day that I wake up, because that little boy gets another day to see the world.

[@ReflectionsofLife]

Deep and touching words. Yes, keep that little boy alive as much as you can. Wishing you all the best for every day, much joy, healing and happiness for you and the inner child. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚

I totally relate. I was tormented by my drunken stepfather from 5 to 17. My mother never protected me. At 17 I joined the Army. The Army transformed the anger and hate and transformed me into a man capable of extreme violence. At 27 I was an alcoholic and passively suicidal. I left the Army did a 180 and became a nurse. I met a woman who saved me. She helped me untangle my jumbled up past one string at a time. Now at 58, I'm grateful for life, family, and the gift of life. I love this channel and stories/wisdom that it brings. Thank you.

Kent’s message, and his "presence of being" is so powerful and inspiring it almost takes your breath away. To be grateful for everything; wow, so much easier said than done! But it rings true when Kent says it; doesn’t seem like just words for the camera. So many of us with so much more seem to struggle with finding that gratitude. Kent's a survivor, but he seems to not only have survived, but thrived. He only hints at some of the things he’s gone through to get to the place of joy, acceptance, and gratitude he’s at today. The journey was no doubt tough, but he made it. Makes me think of the quote by Winston Churchill, “when you’re going through hell, keep going.”

Such beautiful wisdom about unburdening from our past traumas! Marshall Vian Summers writes about this process of letting go so that we can give our true gifts to the world. "How can you be angry when the world serves you? When you recognize how much the world is serving you, which can only be recognized in the context of Knowledge, you will then end all of your hatred towards the world [and] all of your condemnation... and resistance to the world. This will confirm your true destiny, your true origin and your true purpose for being in the world. You have come into the world to learn and to unlearn. You have come into the world to recognize what is real and what is not. You have come into the world to be a contributor, [which] is the real nature of your presence here." (Steps to Knowledge, Marshall Vian Summers)

Thanks for taking time for bringing me a kind and self-esteem building answer. I'ts aligned with the feeling of connection with my inner self and life mission that descended on me watching the video. A quick overview of your work gave me the impression of discovering a treasure on a "remote isolated island". I will further explore your channel, can't wait to connect with "Slow Living", "Be Creative", "Sois comme l'eau" and of course, "Fais ce que tu aimes". Thank you for dedicating your life on spreading the good news. It's powerful and it works. I want to serve the same goal of being helpfull to me and others through my work.

Carrying around the Wound of my Mums Suicide weighs heavy on my soul, I was 3 years old when she took her life and I'm now in my late 30s and the wound has got harder to deal with the older I get which upsets me massively. This life is beautiful but the dark thoughts are always waiting to resurface and pull me back into myself and it's a daily struggle to see the beauty of this life. Thank you for this video this man seems like a wonderful soul.

After hitting yet another rock bottom 7 years ago, I decided to change everything I needed to in order to return to the man I thought I should be, the man I knew I could be, and reclaim the goodness and empathy for others I once had as a youth. My journey included countless nights humbling myself to allow the pain and suffering to resurface and feel it, fully, tears and cries and sobs and shaking. Through working with other men and working in isolation reading and workshops, I have learned vulnerability and courage, strength, and reclaimed my life. But I’m not sure how happy I am yet.

[@ReflectionsofLife]

Thank you for sharing a bit about your life. Quite a journey, well done for making major changes in your life, for being prepared to face the pain, crying many tears,... Just keep walking on this path, take it day by day. Wishing you continued courage and strength. Sending you warmest of hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚

I found SO much hope and beauty in Kent's story. I'm so grateful for the people who do the hard work of whatever is being asked of them to heal. Had Kent not been willing to take that journey, he would not have discovered the freedom or the great gift he is offering us here. Thank you so much for giving him the opportunity to tell his story, GR. I will pass this on.

“I’m not defined by my childhood experiences….” My heart stood still when he shared his childhood trauma. It takes courage to face the trauma. Like him, I endured such trauma. He’s so wise…you do have to heal it and let it go. It took me 20 years. Now, I can be a blessing to the children I teach by recognizing their trauma and helping them to heal. Thank you for sharing part of our soul collective today.

Such a beautiful story, and such a beautiful life. A man who has found the courage and wisdom to live his life - to accept, embrace and learn from and within his own being. Remarkable, inspiring, deeply moving. Who amongst us has not had passages of pain and darkness, particularly in our childhoods? Yet, who amongst us has returned to embrace that darkness in order to live in the light, as this gentle, brave man has? His life is a celebration of living, of gratitude, of awareness and presence. Thank you to him for illuminating the hope and living a life of profound and gentle meaning. Thank you to you all, once again, for your incredible ability to capture personal stories in such beautiful, respectful and life-changing ways. The photography, the music, the editing - beyond breathtaking and so needed by each of us; by the world itself. We are grateful, so grateful. Justin and Kathleen, USA
