Everytime i see i video notification from Green Renaissance first thing i do is i look for a peaceful place without distraction and start watching it. Its just a 10 minutes video but it takes me almost 30 minutes or sometime 1 hour to complete a video from you guys.Because every single word has its uniqueness and i dont wanna miss a single word.As we modern humans cant concentrate less than minute these days because of this social media era sometimes my mind gets distracted from my thoughts and i miss the lines ,whenever i miss a line ,I watch it again and again until i don't miss a single word and get the meaning of the word. and then after watching the video ,i share the link of the video and tell everyone "Please watch it without any distraction"haha thats the whole process whenever i watch your film.I hope i expained it clearly haha.My english is not that good. thank you so much for this awesome film again. Much love to you guys ❤️ Dev

@Manmoji - WOW!!! We never really think about what the viewing experience might be like for you guys. So to hear you explain in such detail, about what it feels like for you, was really very special.

[@marilynclulow883]

I noticed that most of the people in these films , expressing such beautiful truths they have discovered about life, all seem to be living on their own with only pets for companionship. It seems to me that it is difficult to become this way when in a close relationship with a partner. I crave solitude, I feel I could be so much more myself, if I lived alone. I long for that sometimes. In the meantime these videos feed my soul and remind me of much

[@lorielundgren7169]

For me, remembering that God created each one of us as a unique individual and that He gives us value gives me validation to be who I am, and helps me love others for who they were created to be. We are all sons and daughters of the King of the universe! Doesn't mean that I don't struggle with lifes' challenges and the devil's lies, but does give me strength to know that one day at a time builds endurance, and that endurance builds hope.

I don’t need or want conventional labels such as god, devil, etc. There is an endless spirit of love and beautiful power animating and illuminating the whole Universe. We hold a tiny part of that for a finite time, our bodies die and then the spirit is released to flow back into the vast spirit ocean. Words are not enough to express this, and I can only try the weak analogies the human mind admits.

[@keepcalmandmakememories8167]

I exactly feel the same, should be one of the main subject in school.. As I am watching this it flashes back the memories of people who I encountered and had this conversation when I was in highschool or college about what they wanted to become and people I encountered what they become now in terms of their career/profession... Don't get me wrong education is important too but I would love to think that we are getting educated to discover or develop more who we are and what we really wanted to be that makes us happy , not because of what society, family or friends expect us to be to fit their success standard kind of life, but for ourselves to be more productive as we keep living everyday throughout our lifespan, given the fact as well of course of being happy by helping others what you can but not expecting any returns. I am still thankful from those experiences and encounters because it molds and realize me more of what really matters on my life.There were times were those encounters had not been easy but I managed to realized and applied things more in better way. My only hope for my son or my children to be that they will able to face those challenges in life where society's standard can be overwhelming and pressurizing but they still can make decision in their life without the fears of what others think they think better as long as they feel happiness on their self and genuine people surrounds them.....

My english is not good but when I am watching this videos i connect without understand words ...It's magical ...from last 10 years i tried to isolate myself

[@ReflectionsofLife]

@Nilesh Nanaware - Thank you for allowing these stories to resonate with you x

[@gracebennion2000]

This has been beautiful, to listen to and to watch the beautiful characters and their authentic selves. One of the most profound moments in my life, is when a portal was opened up to me and I became aware that I, my person, was being handed out to me as a gift. "Here is you … do what you will … you are the gift to yourself". I will never forget that precious moment. Thank you for providing the space to have that refreshed.

[@ReflectionsofLife]

@Grace Bennion - Thank you for sharing this beautiful story about your own personal journey of discovery. We're so glad that this little film could serve as a reminder. Thanks for always being such a big part of our community x

@@ReflectionsofLife Thank you so much , I really do appreciate your response to me. Bless you.

[@VR-Stories26]

Thank you for creating this beautiful video. The message is in season for me. So much wisdom in it.

[@ReflectionsofLife]

@Rae McKinlay - And thank you for taking the time to absorb all the gems of wisdom and lessons of learning shared by each of these characters. It's all a journey...

[@Peace4All09]

I love this Channel, one thing i have noticed even in my friends is how many of us are choosing to live by ourselves & in many of the videos i watch here, i can see my others are also living alone. I think the one outness is when we are cracking the plaster caste of who we were & as the pieces fall away before me, what i see before me is the true unadulterated essence of who i really am. It's exciting to rewrite the records, ponder the journey's of which there are many & with that wisdom within & that knowing, i have become the realization of my vision. Money is the cause of so many ailments, of body, mind & Soul, even though i have it, i give it away to support Animals, Sanctuaries for Animals & to some folks i think it will benefit but i am only on a pension but i do not want for anything, only Peace. I am a Patreon, i support this vital work, once upon a time we were more Tribal or in my case a Clans Women, this sharing in video was done within a Come-Unity & around a fire so it is important that the Elders speak & a space is made for all to gather & listen. 😊🙏

[@michellej3584]

The videos in this channel really connect and encourage the person that i am on the inside is the person i should be instead of pretending to be someone im not. I think maybe many people are a little afraid to be themselves but imagine how more beautiful and colorful the world would be if we were all just our true selves.

I'd been binge watching this channel and I can't be more thankful for your effort and wonderful work. I just wished in future videos, I can find more ethnic diversity as protagonists too.

[@ArmellaHCohen]

This channel is literally becoming my sanatorium.

[@ReflectionsofLife]

@Nick Ranasinghe - So glad that we can offer you a place to retreat to, to calm the mind, to quiet the senses. x

[@fairpastelfairy1681]

I went through a very strong personal crisis last year, and hearing from these people was a relief that somehow, we all go through that journey, and we are not lost although we might feel like that sometimes. I have still no idea what I want to do next, but I am much calmer now and feel that I can just slowly let it come, figure out who I am really underneath all the trauma I experienced, and then just move on. That there is always a reason and a place worth going to, even if the fog can be thick and the storm strong sometimes. Thank you for making these videos, they are very appreciated.

[@ReflectionsofLife]

Thank you for your support and kind words. The light is always brighter they say when it starts to shine again. We really wish that despite all the challenges that you have a beautiful 2021. Best wishes, Michael and Justine

Such beautiful stories about being human! Deeply touching the core of my being! And the cinematography and music is pure magic as usual! Terrence Mallik would be inspired by the photo!

These videos are my medicine - Such exquisite art in the lighting, editing and story-telling! How do you find the subjects?

[@ReflectionsofLife]

@benjamin todd - Thanks for the kind words. These people how share their stories with us - they are all around us all - just 'ordinary' people. What we've found over the course of this journey, is that when we really take the time to listen to someone, with an honest and open heart, there is much to learn. x
