Reflections of Life

3 жыл бұрын

The concrete jungle and the rat race suck up our time and energy. Our lives revolve around paying bills and staring at a computer screen. We feel stressed and anxious, and we don't know what's wrong.
What we are truly lacking is a connection with the wild world and its rhythms. Grant takes us out into the Cape Floral Kingdom, where we kick off our shoes and walk barefoot on the earth, touch the bark of a tree, watch a spider spin a web, listen to the birds singing in the branches above. We reawaken our senses.
So no matter where you live, get out there and be wild every now and then. You'll find connection again.
Filmed in the Cape Floral Kingdom, South Africa.
Featuring Grant Hine - Ecotherapist and Guide (www.zenguiding.com)
All of our films are made possible through the generous support of our patrons.
To be part of this journey : / greenrenaissance

Who is Green Renaissance? We are Michael and Justine - passionate filmmakers, living off-grid and dedicating our time to making films that we hope will inspire and share positivity out into the world.

@@juliam2049 I think that if you assume that there's no hope for the magic of your life unfolding in the mystery of living with acceptance of the wonderment of life then that's your choice. You only sense the joy of being in the ability to be present in your own unique heart's knowledge of each precious moment. There is a past, the story of your life; the future is the unknown, which you are creating with your own emotions, thoughts, expectations and actions. The future is a mystery. So, relax and enjoy your life with loving kindness and gratitude for all of the blessings of being alive in this moment, now, it is the only time that you are able to trust in your reality, this instant is the magic. Feel free and open up to the mystery and follow your own path for your life now. Live in your power of being present in your best version of yourself. Being where you are now. It is so simple and yet we loose ourselves in our past and our future. Stay present and loving and caring, be true to your goodness and your generosity of love for us all and for the blessings that you have been given. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us, I hope that what I have said is helpful to you. Trust yourself and believe in yourself and your powers of love and kindness in each moment. Blessings to you 🙏 Being scared,fearful and other constrictive emotions are all hindering your abilities to live with the awareness of the beauty and the grace of being alive. Trust yourself and believe you have the power to focus on your own unique heart's desires.You are capable of creating the energies of the Universe to work with you. Trust yourself.

Even when I resist watching any of them after all the virtual activities I know I would be gifted a beautiful perspective from it, I just go ahead. Also, the stethoscope thing just amazed me, that was such a benevolent gesture. Like always I again fell in for the protagonist.

A $650 million budget blockbuster movie had me yawning. Yet GR has a drop of water in slow motion accompanied by splendid perfectly synced audio capturing 100% of my attention. GR understands that something so beautiful and breathtaking as nature is all that is required. GR slows it down for our rushed minds, just enough for us to slow our breathing as to be able absorb natures goodness and the words of wisdom. Big credit to GR and the tech production team who makes this all look so simple and smooth. Very time consuming to do all this 💚💚

" The earth is what we have in all have in common. It is what we are made of and what we live from, we cannot damage it without damaging those with whom we share it. There is an uncanny resemblance between our behavior toward each other and our behavior toward the earth. By some connection we do not recognize, the willingness to exploit one becomes the willingness to exploit the other... It is impossible to care for each other more or differently than we care for the earth ." Said, Wendell Berry.

We can't change the world, but we can change the way we live in it! Beautifully said. Nature calls us, but we are too busy and bury ourselves in nothing but unnecessary noise. I love all the sounds of Nature: running water, the gentle caressing of the wind from a whisper to a rumbling roar. Birds singing their songs, trees falling to the ground, rain and thunder, the sea waves by the shore, etc. Same goes for the sound of an open fire. All of it is cleansing.

Such profound beauty - visually, auditorially, emotionally, video production-wise ... thank you, forever and always. “Nature is honest” ... and don’t we all fundamentally crave honesty and unconditional acceptance - the very definition of and experience in nature? I believe we do. Each of us - every single one of us - belongs to and is a part of nature. To experience this, to feel this, is a profound gift - for life.

Is it normal to tear up while watching this? I felt sad. I've been disconnected from nature since I returned back to Cairo, Egypt. I used to be surrounded by beaches, parks and the skies before coming back to this crowded city. I used to be at peace with myself and the world. I believe that nature is a reflection of our inner soul. I can't help but missing those days! :')

I'm a big fan of the channel and of you! My father, who passed away last June from cancer, practiced Hatha Yoga (philosophy and practices) for many, many years ..... he left this planet at the age of 93 ..... He often told me to try Yoga ..... I always thought that Yoga was not for me ..... I had the wrong idea, I was ignorant ..... I was young and many times rebel..... When he left I was absolutely devastated, I had "lost" the great love of my life and, after some time of devastation in my life, I found a book that belonged to him, about Yogananda's biography. It was like a flame that ignited in my being .... since then, I am a beginner in Hatha Yoga, meditation, its philosophy, pranayama and asanas .... and, very importantly, I have read a lot and heard the classes on Vedanta ( Vedas) with a Brazilian nun who resides in India (all over the internet in these bizarre pandemic times ...). I have understood many things that my father said to me, taught me, in addition to realizing, now, the beneficial effects that Yoga has promoted in his life. I follow in search of who I am, my purpose here .... This video was like a cuddle in my Essence, my Divine self! We are more than part of Him, we are Him! Beautiful video! Thank you! I would love to be able to auscultate a tree with a stethoscope ...

Oh wooow Thank you sooo much! This beautiful video came just at the right time! I came back from outside an hour ago and experienced the same feelings. I was so stuck in my head and as a person with depression it cost me a lot effort to find the power to go outside. Even though I know how nature heals my soul, once I'm there. This deep feeling of connection, of belonging here at this very moment and the acceptance of who and how I am. It just makes me want to cry out of the mercy and greatfulness that I'm experiencing out there. The calm sound of the wind in the top of the trees, the songs of the birds. To sit down beneath a tree and be there, fully aware of what surrounds me..to see through my heart, not my head. Step by step it really heals my soul. And your Movies helping me a lot as well! Thanks therefore and greetings from Germany :-)

"Green Renaissance" is one of the most important channels 4 me , because it is so true, so positive. Everyone I heard at your channel has really something to say!!! The "earth song", this "tuning in to the roots, the natural laws, which should be the basics of a new society! Did you realise, that everyone, who is sharing his personal wisdom, is livingg in nature! WE have to re - connect, to the earth, the trees, the wildlife - reconnect to nature!!! Just by being in nature is not only calming, nature is our teacher, and the gratest healer!!! Be blessed, all of you... Tom.
