Loved your video ,loved you. Im 74 and have spent the last 40 years unrapping the parcell of my unhappiness so listening to your video brought back so many memories and tears. Im a much happier man now than i have ever been although i still get some deeply sad days . I feel i have so much in common with you not the least that i believe that my emotions are the cornorstone of my existance. As someone once said ,life is wonderful or so i feel , my love and respect to you for being so brave to share your life with us. ❤️👍
We are glad Edward's story meant much to you. Sorry to read that you also had difficult experiences, we are glad that you are doing better nowadays. All the best further for life's journey. Sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
I loved it when he said, "I want to live life with all my emotions." Most of us just want to live life with positive emotion, not with negative emotion, but both are important. We need to feel it deeply
Right before he started reading Thoreau, he stated, "We're born with all these emotions, with all these feelings, and to me, letting yourself be fully involved with the way one can interact with the world, that's being human," and to me that was the most beautiful quote in the whole piece. Lovely line to keep with me. Thank you for sharing.
Wow, what a powerful testimony of a man who climbed out of the pit of emotional wounds and despair, to make a major course correction that required strength, courage, and transparency to overcome and live a life of restoration!
Thank you for your beautiful reply. An essential piece in my transformation was all the help I received along the path - both from contemporaries and from the wisdom of past writers.
My 62nd birthday is this week. I don’t feel old, but I’m acting older. And I mean that in a positive sense. My life isn’t slipping away, it’s unfolding exactly as it should. I watch videos in this series, and my true regret is time. I would love to meet the folks who record these, and have a chance to get to know them. Having an opportunity to see them, enhances my day, but leaves me wanting more…which in turn reminds me…open myself to others along the way, and you’ll meet them. Such beautiful people, grateful for the effort put forth to have me see this. Thank you all. See you soon! 😊
Thank you for sharing these thoughts, wishes and experiences. We are glad that the videos mean so much to you. May you have a wonderful birthday. Warmest hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
I am 45yrs and one of the things I have been learning is life "universe/god/creator" align you with exactly what it is we need for growth in our lives. I stumble across these videos a few weeks aback and it's something I look forward to in the morning to just slow my mind down and understand all of us are here just living and wanting to be fulfilled in our lives. I have enjoyed the many videos I have had the pleasure in viewing it gives me strength to understand I too can make a difference in my life as well. All the best to you.
Happy belated birthday! We share the same birth month I just turned 63. I feel the same way as you. These videos are something I stumbled upon, and I'm glad I did. They are a positive addition to my life, and it is so good to have these positive things to look forward to both on this channel and in life.
Hello . And many more birthdays to you all. Same birth month. Six days to go. I know my Mum is thinking of me. She has her challenges. As do we all. We’re only human after all. I honored by your humanity.
Literally just had to stop as I was shocked & so hurt for you that I have tears streaming down my face that your mother would say such a thing to you especially on your wedding day! Obviously your parents had their own "issues" and you chose & made a conscious decision NOT to be either of them despite how you were raised & traumatized yourself. Thank you for sharing such a personal story with us.
So beautifully written, such touching words. Yes, his story goes deep... Thank you for seeing so much appreciation in what Edward shared. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
My heart broke for him as well and hearing this made me cry. He was so brave to delve into those past hurts and to be vulnerable and open to change. He’s a hero in my book ❤
I find it simply amazing how deep the trauma is hidden - always. This beautiful man remembers the deep truth his therapist told him more than forty years ago, and he gets emotional. The same happens to me so often. Thank you very much for these beautiful and uplifting videos.
You are welcome. We are glad his message and our videos mean much to you. may Edward's story encourage and carry you. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
I think, I understand this likeable man very well. Nature as a source of mental and physical health, of beauty and harmony is equally important to me - the more, the older I get. And I absolutely feel the earthquake of that therapist's remark: " You think, you are a failure, but I think, you are a big success. " Wonderful.
Really resonated with this story. I think this is what life is about. To be born empty, then to be told who we are and later, to discover the truth. With the truth, we can the erase the identity that were given and become our authentic version of- one that we believe is who we are and that which makes us happiest. The same Henry Thoreau quote changed my life too. ❤
Wow, lovely to read what you shared. We are so happy that his message spoke to you so deeply. Amazing about the same quote that changed you as well. Wishing you all the best in life. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
Birds sing the music of heaven , that’s a nice quote, and he’s right , it’s not only the birds , it’s everywhere. Those videos are a pleasure to watch .
I'm 65 now, it took me until I was 60 to forgive myself and my parents. Now I am aware of my natural reactions programmed in my childhood by trauma, every day I find they are still there, though now I have the mind space to decide how I react, some people say we are only free when we can be in that space and decide our reaction.
Thank you for sharing, we hear you. We are glad things changed when you were sixty years old. May you have the strength to stay on this positive journey, to heal a bit more every day. Sending much love and kindness to you. Justine and Michael. 💚
Each autumn I go away for my vacation… after the kids have gone back to school and the beaches aren’t so crowded… when the air is crisper… the sun still warms the sand and rocks… and I sit and watch the waves roll in… and later on… watch the sun say good night and settle down behind the horizon… those moments are when I connect to my “ creator “… whatever you may want to name it/ him/ her… Nature is my church… it renews and refreshes me… I especially look forward to going away this month… because I need that renewal… it’s been a few years of loss… seeing people fade away… a lot of darkness… but so different from the comforting darkness when the sun says good night… and the moon and stars… shine on the beach and waves… I drink in the end of the day… and wait for a new performance… the next day… I love the ocean… and I can’t wait to see her again… and bask in her power and beauty… I need her this year… she will be a welcome sight… find whatever gives you peace… wherever you are… and whatever that is. 🌎🕊️ 🌜🌞🌛
Thank you for sharing, beautifully written. We wish you a wonderful refreshing and renewing time. May you receive much strength again being in nature. Warmest hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
I so understand what you are saying. Thank you for expressing very well. I miss the ocean and all that she is. For now, I will enjoy the colorful autumn season each day. Be safe and happy trails .
Wow, your words mean a lot to us, thank you. It's so lovely to know that you value our work so much. We are glad that we can share some light and inspiration through these videos. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
Yes, it’s great to hear these because you just never know where another person is at in their life currently or where they have been before so that’s why we just need to love all people….
Thank you Edward for sharing your story and showing us that like birds heaven also sings through you. It is very special to see when a man is vulnerable and even more special when they do the work to heal their lineage. This video and story fills me with so much hope, because like Edward said: we are all capable of change. Blessings to you all ❤
I am far younger than this man, but I feel exactly every word he is uttering. I have lived a very difficult life, but yes, if one listens one can hear the music of heaven everywhere.
"to be try be more and more vunerable......' I've spent my life trying NOT to feel vunerable and have often used anger as my shield. I think this man has the right attitude. To allow yourself to be vunerable, you become YOU and open yourself up to people. It's less lonely but it takes so much courage and strength, speaking as a man of 50yrs old.
Glad we could share his message with you, that it spoke to you deeply. We hear you. May his words inspire and help you to maybe have the courage and strength to be a bit more open, a bit more vulnerable. Wishing you all the best for your life's journey. Sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
"It's all there." Yes, it is so obviously there that it is never seen. It is the reason we get excited about travelling to beautiful destinations, only to miss home at the end of a week or so. It is the reason you can't stand your friend constantly talking to you, only to miss the sound as soon as they shut up. Yes, it's all there - wake up to it
Awesome video. Sitting outside this morning with my dog enjoying some coffee and this video popped up. I can completely relate to this gentleman. I have also tried my best to be better than my father. Ive made many mistakes unfortunately but I can honestly say I always apologized to my wife and kids and tried to be better. One can always strive for improvement. Always
Shew, we are really touched by your message. We can see that Edward's story really came close to your heart. Well done for always striving for improvement. Wishing you all the best and sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
Wow, thanks so much. Your words touch our hearts. Hopefully we can share many more inspiring videos with you. Sending you warmest of hugs from South Africa, Justine and Michael. 💚
Another wonderful video testimony! How many words filled with emotion and meaning! Thank you for sharing the lessons learned and motivating change! Beautiful images too! He conveys affection for life, the world, experiences... I could feel it on the other side of the screen. This is a super important channel! Gratitude!
Your words touch and encourage us greatly. So happy his story and also the other videos mean much to you. Sending you warmest of hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Amazing. These are thoughts I needed to hear today. I am very grateful. You are a beautiful soul. I have lived almost my whole life rolling around in the muck of all the damage done to me as a child. It changed me and altered my brain and sent me into life broken and bent. I have had to reckon with enormous mistakes and regrets. I have felt I have had many people try hard to hurt me and they have. But at the end of the day I realize I have hurt myself more than anyone. I’ve worked like crazy to find my way out of the hurt and pain. I’ve taken responsibility for my mistakes. One of the hardest things is when people don’t let you change. They cling to their judgments of you and want to punish and execute you. I can wrestle my dark stuff to the floor and see myself as who I really am, but still someone wants to beat my head in and I fall into a shame spiral. All I can do is fight my way forward bc WHO YOU ARE IS NOT WHO YOU WERE, IT’S WHO YOU ARE
Deep and touching message, thank you for sharing. We are glad that Edward's words are so valuable to you. May you find the courage and strength every day to keep walking your journey. Try and stay positive. Sending much love and kindness to you. Justine and Michael. 💚
@Steve757-fl1hd I was quoting the presenter. If I misquoted, I apologize. I imagine he meant "to be on the watch," a task which can involve multiple senses. Further, in his context, they were referring to his nature photography capturing Heaven's music. So, yes, Heaven's music is experienced with multiple senses.
To someone that is only learning the importance of fully experiencing their emotions, this is a very brave and inspiring man. A wonderful film of hope and the importance of grounding ourselves in nature as best we can. ❤
We are touched that his words spoke to you so deeply. May his words help and carry you on your journey through life. Sending you warmest of hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
I have a clear view of the mother I didn't want to be and the kind of marriage I didn't want to have. Yet, it took me years to untangle the relationship habits in order not to choose those kind of people BUT I also had to heal. And I continue to heal in other ways, to transform, to evolve. Thank you for sharing a piece of your story. You are helping me, us.
Deep words, thank you for sharing. We are glad that you found his story so valuable. Wishing you all the best for your own healing journey. Sending much love and kindness to you. Justine and Michael. 💚
At the end of the day you've actually made it! Feeling one with everything just by being still! You've fulfilled life's highest purpose! Deep admiration and gratitude for sharing ! 🙏♥️👏
I was taking a break from painting and I started watching today’s video. This video reminds me of who i was then and who I am today. I’m more humbled as I grew older and my life gotten much better. Love it 😎😎😎🔥🔥🔥
I watch one of your videos every morning before I walk my dog. My morning walk is in a small forest. It's always calm there and it sets me up for the day. But since I've started watching your channel my walks are even more peaceful, my mind is more peaceful, and I tend to either meditate on the message I've just listened to or I clear my mind completely, and easily.
Thank you for sharing, that is so wonderful that the message mean much to you and create a peaceful atmosphere. Continue to enjoy the daily walks. Sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
Существование таких людей это благословение.. То что вы их находите это тоже благословение.. То что я могу видеть ваши видео с этими прекрасными людьми это тоже благословение 🙏.. А все вместе и есть Божественная мелодия жизни 🙌🙏❤️🍃
So beautifully written, thank you. It's an absolute pleasure to share these stories with you. May the melody of life continue to play. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
This video brought to mind the movie, "The Color Purple, the part when the two sisters are talking about walking past a field full of Purple and not noticing - hence the name of the movie. Thank you for reminding that heaven is all around us.😊
That story is an example of intergenerational trauma being transferred. The mother is just passing on the trauma that she received, maybe from her own parents - who knows. But the point is that when we hear these stories, know that the attacker is really a broken person lashing out. She could not stand the thought that her son might have found a happy and healthy relationship that had been absent in her own life.
that video reminded me of the saying "if you want to learn, nothing can stop you and everyone and everything is going to be your teacher.If you don't want to learn, nothing can help you" thank you for this story, he sounds like a teacher to me..
What a wonderful video. This is how I have felt. I had an abusive father and a narcissistic mother who kept telling me to f*ck off and never come back because I look like my father. I was diagnosed with CPTSD in 2019. It changed my life. I no longer have toxic people in my life and I have found myself and my place in the world away from the control of my parents. It has been quite the journey. Peace and love to anyone living with a debilitating mental condition or are in a toxic environment you can’t get out of. ✌️❤
Thank you for sharing a bit about your life, very sad. We are glad you eventually found a way to live and feel better. We appreciate your caring thoughts for people all over the world that a struggling with difficult circumstances. Sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
@@ReflectionsofLife Thank you so much for creating movies which touch peoples hearts and souls. The more we share our truths and stories, the more real the world will become. There are too many people struggling without connection. Peace✌ and Love❤
Thank you, Edward, for telling your story. It' so helpful to hear that that you were able to heal from the trauma you experienced. You really are a success. ❤
What a beautiful transformation. There's a lot of talk about awakening, and being put as an major event or something mystical. This beautiful man shows with his life and in a simple way what awakening really is. Thank you for lighting the path for others to also see. Namaste 🙏🏽 ❤
Sadly I can relate to so much of his early life trauma. It took me until my early 50's to seek proper therapy sessions for my past, and by then I'd had a string of failed relationships and had become someone that I didn't like very much. This led me down some very dark mental pathways. Getting a better understanding of my past has made me a better person. Sadly it was too late for my marriage, but I have accepted this and am now looking towards the future with that better understanding of myself and the past that shaped me. The scars will probably always be there, BUT the wounds are now healing over.
Thank you for sharing your experiences, glad you are doing better now. May his message help and encourage you. All the best for the future. Sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
What an incredible story! This really resonated with me. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your perspective. You have made me consider my own life and how it's not too late to be the person you want to. ❤
A huge thank you to these guys, who gave so generously of their to time to help with translations, enabling us to provide subtitles in the following languages: Chinese (Traditional and Simplified) - by Shun-Ying Lu Croatian - by Davor Bobanac Czech - by Katarína Borek English - by Justine du Toit French - by Amélie Macoin German - by Tanja Pütz Greek - by Vicky Polychroni Hungarian - by Ditta Adore Indonesian - by Ary Nuansa Italian - by Grazia Gironella Kazakh - by Mereinur Tabuldin Korean - by Hotae Devin Noh Macedonian - by Lidija Pusevska Markovska Polish - by Anna Konieczna Portuguese - by Sibylle Steinpass and Lucivani Valvassori Slovak - by Zuzana Beratsova Slovenian - by Tadej Pasar Spanish - by Paty Aguirre Swedish - by Julia Alvar Thai - by Ornwara Diloknawarit Vietnamese - by Thi Le
This might as well be my story. The similarities are many. I haven't even begun to overcome my past. Thanks for this video, and being willing to put it out there. Lost my wife 4 years ago, and spiraled downward since then.
We are sorry that you struggling with life since the passing of your wife. Maybe his message can be a help and encouragement. We hope you can turn a corner, with you all the best. Warmest hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
I had similar traumatic childhood. My father was a very angry man, verbally abusive and I swore to myself that he was a kind of person I wouldn't be like. My mom was passive aggressive, never giving us any compliment and full of sarcasm. I did become a furious and short-tempered myself when I turned adult and at some point I felt like I was like my parents. I have had mental struggling for decades due to my very low self-esteem. With all continual efforts, I've had some breakthroughs enough to be content with myself and my life. Bless to all who have gone through bad childhood. Please work on it and never give up, you will have yourself back one day.
Thank you for sharing a bit about your life and also the words of encouragement. We are glad that you were able to work through the issues an trauma and are doing better nowadays. Wishing you all the best further and sending much love and kindness to you. Justine and Michael. 💚
I'm 36. I'm a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and physical violence. I'm also struggling with low self-esteem and victim-mentality. I believe that one day I will get over it if I just keep being aware of how it all affected me.
Only there if you have the intention to see it. This is so very true. Our eyes are closed most of the time. We have no intention. We walk blindly through this life. Lift the veil and see truly see what is before you. It’s beautiful, believe me. ❤
Thank you sir. A beautiful reflection. I tend to be a loner and enjoy independence ; I enjoy doing my hobbies, reflecting and learning and don't need a lot of social activities ; but also, maybe, building a wall of protection to avoid repeating past pains, is mixed in with that. When you talked about having the courage to be vulnerable, that really is something to consider. Also, I do think Thoreaux was onto something though, if you like being independent, then that's how you are.
Lovely to read your message, thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences. We hope Edward's word can inspire you along life's journey. Sending you warmest of hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Heartfelt gratitude to Edward, for having told his story so eloquently. I know that it sounds over-simplistic but how amazing that the words of his wife and the therapist prompted him to become the person he wanted to be and live as fullly as possible. Another deeply moving portrait. Thank you so much.🙏
I love these stories. So much wisdom, so beautifully filmed. Society discards old people, thus proving that youth truly is wasted on the young. But for those who listen, who truly hear, the true wealth of life awaits.
This brings tears and joy. always grateful for this channel. Whenever i feel low or indifferent towards life, i come here, and it always restores my faith in life
Beautiful words, as someone going on the process of overcoming multiple traumas this video brought tears to my eyes. To all people struggling, a suicide prevention quote that helped me through many difficult moments comes from the poem "Desiderata" and the sentence says: "You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here" We have the right to be here and to do the life we decide as the gentleman in this video is doing. Speechless with his story.
Shew, your words go deep. We are so thankful that Edward's story touched you so deeply. May his words help and inspire you on your onward journey through life. Thank you for sharing the sentence of the poem, so powerful and loving. Sending much love and kindness to you. Justine and Michael. 💚
@@ReflectionsofLife Thank you so much for the kind and deep answer from you. I wish you both continue building a rich and meaningful life and pelase keep on doing these videos !
We are glad that we could share Edward's story with you. Glad the videos mean much to you and help you along life's journey. May you have a wonderful birthday in 12 days. Sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
Watching from India, I've begun to look forward to these productions of yours. They tell ever so beautifully and insightfully the stories of (what I think are) modern day sages - ordinary people, men and women, who are awakening to life and to themselves. It's very inspiring for the rest of us. Thanks for the great work 🙏
We appreciate this precious message of appreciation and support for the stories that we share. It's great to have you along on this journey together with us. Warm hugs. Justine and Michael. x
You are so special. So many have had abusive pasts. It’s so sad. Sadly including myself. But I also climbed out and am happy. You tried and put your past behind you. Amazing. Thanks for your story! ❤️
Beautiful video, thanks for sharing. I didn’t search for it, it was recommended. I am in that phase of life where I have no choice rather to heal myself, save myself from myself only.
Thank you for writing. Each day try again. I benefited from many people, some alive and some known only through their writing. If you start, help will be everywhere.
Sat sri akaal 🙏Thankyou so so much for making and sharing these videos. I am 21 years old from Punjab(India)and i always try to find the videos on yt that can really show the beauty and magic of life and this channel is exactly what i or i can say my soul wanted. There were hard times when i feel depressed, empty but then i watch these videos. Listening to these experienced, wise and lovely people makes me feel free and reminds me to reconnect with myself and the nature. They encourage and motivates me to live my life to the fullest, to see the beauty in every little thing, to make me feel that i am limitless. I cannot find any words to express my gratitude and my feelings, all i can say is thankyou so much😊🙏🙏
You are most welcome. Thank you for writing to us, we are so happy that the videos mean so much to you. We hope to share many more with you. Sending much love from South Africa. Justine and Michael. 💚
Thank you Edward, Justine & Michael. Calming and humbling ! We didn't chose our families when we came here.We can only choose what legacy we will leave .HPL to ALL !
Such deeply touching words that you share here with us - 'We can only choose what legacy we will leave' - we'll carry those words forward with us. Thank you! Sending love. Justine and Michael x
We always have a choice to remain defined by our circumstances or redefine ourselves as what we want to be. Sadly, few of us do!!! Thank you for another great video!
Thank you Edward for sharing your life and the courage it took to say, I’ve not been the person I wanted to be but I’m committed to change, and change you did. Living a congruent life takes courage as does being honest about our past and letting light into the dark places by telling our story and allowing the light to heal.
We are glad his message meant much to you. No, it's not always easy; and it does not work overnight but every little step in the right direction is a success. Sending you warmest of hugs. Justine and Michael. 💚
Beautiful soul, and beautiful heart in this man. Our journey in life, and to continually search and work to be better versions of ourselves……. Is our greatest purpose. And like he said…… you must “try”. Thank you for sharing his story. As usual, much appreciated and needed works.
@scottallen5269 - Thank you so much for holding us in your thoughts. We continue to walk the path of grief, but with time, the pain does begin to subside. We send love in return. Justine and Michael x
Live my life to try be the person who I wanted to be in this world ; I see myself either living my life like this or always it was get around this , Thank you for this an unforgettable story .😊❤
Sorry to hear that you too had a difficult childhood. But to know that, just like Ed, you also found peace, is beautiful! Sending you warmest of wishes for all that lies ahead. Justine and Michael x
I listened concentrated. I have very difficult family of origin. What you did was the greatest gift of love to your parents. You healed them, too, as you did the work yourself. I love birds, trees, all nature. We get the outpour of love every moment.
We hope that, like Ed, you and your family find peace. And that you continue to find healing and solace in the natural world. Sending best wishes. Justine and Michael. x

I don't know why, but I started crying, when I heard the words: You are not failure. You are succes.
Yes, these words are touching. Thank you for sharing how you felt. Sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
"He said you think you're a failure. But you're a great success." 😢
💚
Yes! This touched me so much. My father felt this way , I think. And sadly, he didn't learn to give himself grace and see all the things he did.
Loved your video ,loved you. Im 74 and have spent the last 40 years unrapping the parcell of my unhappiness so listening to your video brought back so many memories and tears. Im a much happier man now than i have ever been although i still get some deeply sad days . I feel i have so much in common with you not the least that i believe that my emotions are the cornorstone of my existance. As someone once said ,life is wonderful or so i feel , my love and respect to you for being so brave to share your life with us. ❤️👍
We are glad Edward's story meant much to you. Sorry to read that you also had difficult experiences, we are glad that you are doing better nowadays. All the best further for life's journey. Sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
I am so glad that you feel a kinship with me. So many of us with our remade lives.
I loved it when he said, "I want to live life with all my emotions." Most of us just want to live life with positive emotion, not with negative emotion, but both are important. We need to feel it deeply
We are glad that these words meant much to you, thank you for sharing these thoughts. Warmest hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Well said ❤
Right before he started reading Thoreau, he stated, "We're born with all these emotions, with all these feelings, and to me, letting yourself be fully involved with the way one can interact with the world, that's being human," and to me that was the most beautiful quote in the whole piece.

Thank you for your reply. The process of weaning oneself from distractions takes time and effort.
Wow, what a powerful testimony of a man who climbed out of the pit of emotional wounds and despair, to make a major course correction that required strength, courage, and transparency to overcome and live a life of restoration!
So beautifully and well expressed, thank you so much. Sending you warmest of hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Truly! Well said.
Well said.
Thank you for your beautiful reply. An essential piece in my transformation was all the help I received along the path - both from contemporaries and from the wisdom of past writers.
Is it a coincidence that I feel about 20X calmer than before I watched this? I think not. 👏
Beautiful. We are touched that this video created a calmness. Warmest hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Everyone who reads this, we don't know each other and probably never will but I wish you all the best in life and all the luck in the world
Thank you.💚
Thanx!

I actually watched this man transform in front of my eyes from grief to beauty!
So beautifully expressed, thank you. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
The transformation shared in this story is so inspiring; it’s a great reminder that our future is in our hands.
We are glad his message resonated with you. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
My 62nd birthday is this week. I don’t feel old, but I’m acting older. And I mean that in a positive sense. My life isn’t slipping away, it’s unfolding exactly as it should.

I'm 62, too. Happy belated Bearthday.
I am 45yrs and one of the things I have been learning is life "universe/god/creator" align you with exactly what it is we need for growth in our lives. I stumble across these videos a few weeks aback and it's something I look forward to in the morning to just slow my mind down and understand all of us are here just living and wanting to be fulfilled in our lives. I have enjoyed the many videos I have had the pleasure in viewing it gives me strength to understand I too can make a difference in my life as well. All the best to you.
Happy belated birthday! We share the same birth month I just turned 63. I feel the same way as you. These videos are something I stumbled upon, and I'm glad I did. They are a positive addition to my life, and it is so good to have these positive things to look forward to both on this channel and in life.
Hello . And many more birthdays to you all. Same birth month. Six days to go. I know my Mum is thinking of me. She has her challenges. As do we all. We’re only human after all. I honored by your humanity.
“Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world, I feel like I can't take it, and my heart is just going to cave in.”
Beautiful words, thank you for sharing. Warmest hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
American Beauty...❤
So true 💯❤️
"you think you're a failure, but i think you ARE A GREAT SUCCESS"
Such powerful words. Thank you for watching. Warmest wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
Literally just had to stop as I was shocked & so hurt for you that I have tears streaming down my face that your mother would say such a thing to you especially on your wedding day! Obviously your parents had their own "issues" and you chose & made a conscious decision NOT to be either of them despite how you were raised & traumatized yourself. Thank you for sharing such a personal story with us.
So beautifully written, such touching words. Yes, his story goes deep... Thank you for seeing so much appreciation in what Edward shared. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
@@ReflectionsofLife Thank you! I appreciate all the "films" you bring us. They are very thought provoking & moving.
My heart broke for him as well and hearing this made me cry. He was so brave to delve into those past hurts and to be vulnerable and open to change. He’s a hero in my book ❤
Down to earth and up towards the skies. That is life and these interviews reflect that beautifully.
So lovely what you shared, thanks so much. Warmest wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
I find it simply amazing how deep the trauma is hidden - always. This beautiful man remembers the deep truth his therapist told him more than forty years ago, and he gets emotional. The same happens to me so often.
Thank you very much for these beautiful and uplifting videos.
You are welcome. We are glad his message and our videos mean much to you. may Edward's story encourage and carry you. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
I think, I understand this likeable man very well. Nature as a source of mental and physical health, of beauty and harmony is equally important to me - the more, the older I get. And I absolutely feel the earthquake of that therapist's remark: " You think, you are a failure, but I think, you are a big success. " Wonderful.
We are glad that this video meant so much to you. Wishing you many healing and special times in nature. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
The precious secret of our humanity: we are not a failure, but a huge success. And we do not know it yet. Our truth amidst pain and doubt.
Thank you for sharing these words of encouragement. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
To hear the heavenly sounds of the world, he embraces the present. Indeed he is a gifted man and a blessing for mankind
We appreciate your touching words, so happy you enjoyed the story. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
Really resonated with this story. I think this is what life is about. To be born empty, then to be told who we are and later, to discover the truth. With the truth, we can the erase the identity that were given and become our authentic version of- one that we believe is who we are and that which makes us happiest. The same Henry Thoreau quote changed my life too. ❤
Wow, lovely to read what you shared. We are so happy that his message spoke to you so deeply. Amazing about the same quote that changed you as well. Wishing you all the best in life. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
@@ReflectionsofLife Thank you for such a beautifully made video. ❤️
Birds sing the music of heaven , that’s a nice quote, and he’s right , it’s not only the birds , it’s everywhere. Those videos are a pleasure to watch .
Thank you, we are glad you enjoy the videos we share. Nice that Edward's words resonated with you. Warmest wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
I'm 65 now, it took me until I was 60 to forgive myself and my parents. Now I am aware of my natural reactions programmed in my childhood by trauma, every day I find they are still there, though now I have the mind space to decide how I react, some people say we are only free when we can be in that space and decide our reaction.
Thank you for sharing, we hear you. We are glad things changed when you were sixty years old. May you have the strength to stay on this positive journey, to heal a bit more every day. Sending much love and kindness to you. Justine and Michael. 💚
I am happy you have arrived at a place of forgiveness.
To overcome the past , let go and forgive.

Each autumn I go away for my vacation… after the kids have gone back to school and the beaches aren’t so crowded… when the air is crisper… the sun still warms the sand and rocks… and I sit and watch the waves roll in… and later on… watch the sun say good night and settle down behind the horizon… those moments are when I connect to my “ creator “… whatever you may want to name it/ him/ her…
Nature is my church… it renews and refreshes me… I especially look forward to going away this month… because I need that renewal… it’s been a few years of loss… seeing people fade away… a lot of darkness… but so different from the comforting darkness when the sun says good night… and the moon and stars… shine on the beach and waves… I drink in the end of the day… and wait for a new performance… the next day… I love the ocean… and I can’t wait to see her again… and bask in her power and beauty… I need her this year… she will be a welcome sight… find whatever gives you peace… wherever you are… and whatever that is.
🌎🕊️ 🌜🌞🌛
Thank you for sharing, beautifully written. We wish you a wonderful refreshing and renewing time. May you receive much strength again being in nature. Warmest hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
I so understand what you are saying. Thank you for expressing very well. I miss the ocean and all that she is. For now, I will enjoy the colorful autumn season each day. Be safe and happy trails .
These videos are incredible! Thank you for changing lives and saving lives, helping people live their best lives!
Wow, your words mean a lot to us, thank you. It's so lovely to know that you value our work so much. We are glad that we can share some light and inspiration through these videos. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
Yes, it’s great to hear these because you just never know where another person is at in their life currently or where they have been before so that’s why we just need to love all people….
Oh, what a beautiful journey we are on. And the interconnectedness is the essence of the beauty! Thank you for sharing…
You are most welcome. So happy to have you with us on our journey. Warmest hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
❤
Thank you Edward for sharing your story and showing us that like birds heaven also sings through you. It is very special to see when a man is vulnerable and even more special when they do the work to heal their lineage. This video and story fills me with so much hope, because like Edward said: we are all capable of change. Blessings to you all ❤
We are really happy you appreciated this video so much, that it created much hope within you. Sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
I am far younger than this man, but I feel exactly every word he is uttering.
I have lived a very difficult life, but yes, if one listens one can hear the music of heaven everywhere.
Beautiful. So happy his words resonated with you. Wishing you all the best. Sending you warmest of hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
"to be try be more and more vunerable......' I've spent my life trying NOT to feel vunerable and have often used anger as my shield. I think this man has the right attitude. To allow yourself to be vunerable, you become YOU and open yourself up to people. It's less lonely but it takes so much courage and strength, speaking as a man of 50yrs old.
Glad we could share his message with you, that it spoke to you deeply. We hear you. May his words inspire and help you to maybe have the courage and strength to be a bit more open, a bit more vulnerable. Wishing you all the best for your life's journey. Sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
Yes, it can be downright scary but as a man of 80 I think it was so worth the effort. Thank you for watching the movie and writing.
"It's all there." Yes, it is so obviously there that it is never seen. It is the reason we get excited about travelling to beautiful destinations, only to miss home at the end of a week or so. It is the reason you can't stand your friend constantly talking to you, only to miss the sound as soon as they shut up. Yes, it's all there - wake up to it
Thank you for sharing these thoughts, for reminding us. Warmest hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Bardzo, bardzo dziękuję za wasz tak wartościowy kanał i serdecznie pozdrawiam wszystkich oglądających❤❤❤
Thank you for your kind and encouraging words. So happy you enjoy the videos we share. Kindest wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
Awesome video. Sitting outside this morning with my dog enjoying some coffee and this video popped up. I can completely relate to this gentleman. I have also tried my best to be better than my father. Ive made many mistakes unfortunately but I can honestly say I always apologized to my wife and kids and tried to be better. One can always strive for improvement. Always
♥️♥️♥️
And every human being on this earth makes mistakes . But, we have to learn from them.
@@spmoran4703
For sure. Unfortunately some people don't or choose not to.
❤
Shew, we are really touched by your message. We can see that Edward's story really came close to your heart. Well done for always striving for improvement. Wishing you all the best and sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
What a beautiful & gentle soul. God bless you & the wonderful couple who tell their stories.🙏❤️🙏
Thank you for your kind words, much appreciated. We are glad you liked the video. Kindest wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
When the pebble realizes it is a diamond
Cant get enough of your channel
Amazing camerawork
Thank you from switzerland
Wow, thanks so much. Your words touch our hearts. Hopefully we can share many more inspiring videos with you. Sending you warmest of hugs from South Africa, Justine and Michael. 💚
Another wonderful video testimony! How many words filled with emotion and meaning! Thank you for sharing the lessons learned and motivating change! Beautiful images too! He conveys affection for life, the world, experiences... I could feel it on the other side of the screen. This is a super important channel! Gratitude!
Your words touch and encourage us greatly. So happy his story and also the other videos mean much to you. Sending you warmest of hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Amazing. These are thoughts I needed to hear today. I am very grateful. You are a beautiful soul. I have lived almost my whole life rolling around in the muck of all the damage done to me as a child. It changed me and altered my brain and sent me into life broken and bent. I have had to reckon with enormous mistakes and regrets. I have felt I have had many people try hard to hurt me and they have. But at the end of the day I realize I have hurt myself more than anyone. I’ve worked like crazy to find my way out of the hurt and pain. I’ve taken responsibility for my mistakes. One of the hardest things is when people don’t let you change. They cling to their judgments of you and want to punish and execute you. I can wrestle my dark stuff to the floor and see myself as who I really am, but still someone wants to beat my head in and I fall into a shame spiral. All I can do is fight my way forward bc WHO YOU ARE IS NOT WHO YOU WERE, IT’S WHO YOU ARE
Deep and touching message, thank you for sharing. We are glad that Edward's words are so valuable to you. May you find the courage and strength every day to keep walking your journey. Try and stay positive. Sending much love and kindness to you. Justine and Michael. 💚
"The music of heaven is everywhere, if you watch." 🙂
💚
You mean listen?
@Steve757-fl1hd I was quoting the presenter. If I misquoted, I apologize. I imagine he meant "to be on the watch," a task which can involve multiple senses. Further, in his context, they were referring to his nature photography capturing Heaven's music. So, yes, Heaven's music is experienced with multiple senses.
To someone that is only learning the importance of fully experiencing their emotions, this is a very brave and inspiring man. A wonderful film of hope and the importance of grounding ourselves in nature as best we can. ❤
We are touched that his words spoke to you so deeply. May his words help and carry you on your journey through life. Sending you warmest of hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
I have a clear view of the mother I didn't want to be and the kind of marriage I didn't want to have. Yet, it took me years to untangle the relationship habits in order not to choose those kind of people BUT I also had to heal. And I continue to heal in other ways, to transform, to evolve. Thank you for sharing a piece of your story. You are helping me, us.
Deep words, thank you for sharing. We are glad that you found his story so valuable. Wishing you all the best for your own healing journey. Sending much love and kindness to you. Justine and Michael. 💚
At the end of the day you've actually made it! Feeling one with everything just by being still! You've fulfilled life's highest purpose! Deep admiration and gratitude for sharing ! 🙏♥️👏
We appreciate your kind and encouraging message. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
@@ReflectionsofLife 🙏
I was taking a break from painting and I started watching today’s video. This video reminds me of who i was then and who I am today. I’m more humbled as I grew older and my life gotten much better. Love it 😎😎😎🔥🔥🔥
So wonderful that his message meant so much to you. All the best for your journey through life. Sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
I watch one of your videos every morning before I walk my dog. My morning walk is in a small forest. It's always calm there and it sets me up for the day. But since I've started watching your channel my walks are even more peaceful, my mind is more peaceful, and I tend to either meditate on the message I've just listened to or I clear my mind completely, and easily.
Thank you for sharing, that is so wonderful that the message mean much to you and create a peaceful atmosphere. Continue to enjoy the daily walks. Sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
Существование таких людей это благословение.. То что вы их находите это тоже благословение.. То что я могу видеть ваши видео с этими прекрасными людьми это тоже благословение 🙏.. А все вместе и есть Божественная мелодия жизни 🙌🙏❤️🍃
So beautifully written, thank you. It's an absolute pleasure to share these stories with you. May the melody of life continue to play. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
This video brought to mind the movie, "The Color Purple, the part when the two sisters are talking about walking past a field full of Purple and not noticing - hence the name of the movie. Thank you for reminding that heaven is all around us.😊
Thank you for sharing this info. Glad his message resonated with you. Sending you warmest of hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
When I am in the sea of sadness and discomfort and exaustion, seeing your films is so rebalancing. Thank you
We are touched by your words. So glad the various videos mean so much to you. and help you. Sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
What a beautiful video. Words that are coming from the heart, and from experience. Your channel is a gem. Thank you!
Pleasure. So glad you enjoy watching the videos we share. Sending you warmest of hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Love how you let your history change for better! I wish there is another video showing your photos, I would love to see it 🌻
We're so glad that Ed's story resonated with you. We send best wishes. Justine and Michael. x
Wow...his mother saying that to him on his big day....Sometimes parents say rude things that stays in our hearts forever
Thank you for your caring message. Warmest wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
Yeeah... I think that was stupid and cruel.
That story is an example of intergenerational trauma being transferred. The mother is just passing on the trauma that she received, maybe from her own parents - who knows. But the point is that when we hear these stories, know that the attacker is really a broken person lashing out. She could not stand the thought that her son might have found a happy and healthy relationship that had been absent in her own life.
Thanks!
Thank you for your kindness and support, it means a lot to us. Much love, Justine and Michael 💚
that video reminded me of the saying "if you want to learn, nothing can stop you and everyone and everything is going to be your teacher.If you don't want to learn, nothing can help you" thank you for this story, he sounds like a teacher to me..
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, we are glad that we could share the video with you. Warmest hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
What a wonderful video. This is how I have felt. I had an abusive father and a narcissistic mother who kept telling me to f*ck off and never come back because I look like my father. I was diagnosed with CPTSD in 2019. It changed my life. I no longer have toxic people in my life and I have found myself and my place in the world away from the control of my parents. It has been quite the journey. Peace and love to anyone living with a debilitating mental condition or are in a toxic environment you can’t get out of. ✌️❤
Thank you for sharing a bit about your life, very sad. We are glad you eventually found a way to live and feel better. We appreciate your caring thoughts for people all over the world that a struggling with difficult circumstances. Sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
@@ReflectionsofLife Thank you so much for creating movies which touch peoples hearts and souls. The more we share our truths and stories, the more real the world will become. There are too many people struggling without connection. Peace✌ and Love❤
Thank you, Edward, for telling your story. It' so helpful to hear that that you were able to heal from the trauma you experienced. You really are a success. ❤
So beautifully said. We are so glad his message meant much to you. Sending you warmest of hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Thank you for sharing another beautiful soul and highlighting the power of Mother Nature. ❤
You are most welcome. Warmest wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
What a beautiful transformation. There's a lot of talk about awakening, and being put as an major event or something mystical. This beautiful man shows with his life and in a simple way what awakening really is. Thank you for lighting the path for others to also see. Namaste 🙏🏽 ❤
Such beautiful words. We are glad you appreciated his message so much. Warmest hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Sadly I can relate to so much of his early life trauma. It took me until my early 50's to seek proper therapy sessions for my past, and by then I'd had a string of failed relationships and had become someone that I didn't like very much. This led me down some very dark mental pathways.
Getting a better understanding of my past has made me a better person. Sadly it was too late for my marriage, but I have accepted this and am now looking towards the future with that better understanding of myself and the past that shaped me. The scars will probably always be there, BUT the wounds are now healing over.
Thank you for sharing your experiences, glad you are doing better now. May his message help and encourage you. All the best for the future. Sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
What an incredible story! This really resonated with me. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your perspective. You have made me consider my own life and how it's not too late to be the person you want to. ❤
Your words go deep. We are glad his message was an inspiration. Sending you warmest of hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚

Love and peace from Lagos, Portugal Edward
I am very grateful for having such a precious time with you.
Thank you for sharing your story, I am impressed by you. ♥️✨
We are really glad that you appreciated Edward's message. Warmest hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
This might as well be my story. The similarities are many. I haven't even begun to overcome my past. Thanks for this video, and being willing to put it out there. Lost my wife 4 years ago, and spiraled downward since then.
We are sorry that you struggling with life since the passing of your wife. Maybe his message can be a help and encouragement. We hope you can turn a corner, with you all the best. Warmest hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
I had similar traumatic childhood. My father was a very angry man, verbally abusive and I swore to myself that he was a kind of person I wouldn't be like. My mom was passive aggressive, never giving us any compliment and full of sarcasm. I did become a furious and short-tempered myself when I turned adult and at some point I felt like I was like my parents. I have had mental struggling for decades due to my very low self-esteem. With all continual efforts, I've had some breakthroughs enough to be content with myself and my life. Bless to all who have gone through bad childhood. Please work on it and never give up, you will have yourself back one day.
Thank you for sharing a bit about your life and also the words of encouragement. We are glad that you were able to work through the issues an trauma and are doing better nowadays. Wishing you all the best further and sending much love and kindness to you. Justine and Michael. 💚
@@ReflectionsofLife Thank you Justine and Michael. I'd like to contribute back when possible should you need another Thai translator!
I'm 36. I'm a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and physical violence. I'm also struggling with low self-esteem and victim-mentality. I believe that one day I will get over it if I just keep being aware of how it all affected me.
@@branan6935 thank you for sharing some common struggle and sorry to hear your story. I hope you get to that day very soon. Sending virtual hugs.
Only there if you have the intention to see it. This is so very true. Our eyes are closed most of the time. We have no intention. We walk blindly through this life. Lift the veil and see truly see what is before you. It’s beautiful, believe me. ❤
We are glad his words resonated with you. Sending you warmest of hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Thank you sir. A beautiful reflection. I tend to be a loner and enjoy independence ; I enjoy doing my hobbies, reflecting and learning and don't need a lot of social activities ; but also, maybe, building a wall of protection to avoid repeating past pains, is mixed in with that. When you talked about having the courage to be vulnerable, that really is something to consider. Also, I do think Thoreaux was onto something though, if you like being independent, then that's how you are.
Lovely to read your message, thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences. We hope Edward's word can inspire you along life's journey. Sending you warmest of hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Heartfelt gratitude to Edward, for having told his story so eloquently. I know that it sounds over-simplistic but how amazing that the words of his wife and the therapist prompted him to become the person he wanted to be and live as fullly as possible.
Another deeply moving portrait. Thank you so much.🙏
You are most welcome. We are thankful that you appreciated his story so much. Sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
Thank you for your gracious reply. Words can be very powerful sometimes.
I love these stories. So much wisdom, so beautifully filmed. Society discards old people, thus proving that youth truly is wasted on the young. But for those who listen, who truly hear, the true wealth of life awaits.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and encouragement. So glad we can share these videos with you. Warmest wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
Respect to you, sir, from someone who's on the same path, only years behind ❤
Touching words. May his message encourage and inspire you. All the best for the journey. Sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
This brings tears and joy. always grateful for this channel. Whenever i feel low or indifferent towards life, i come here, and it always restores my faith in life
So wonderful that the various video lift you up again and create hope. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚

Beautiful story, thank you!
So happy you liked the story. Warmest hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Beautiful words, as someone going on the process of overcoming multiple traumas this video brought tears to my eyes.
To all people struggling, a suicide prevention quote that helped me through many difficult moments comes from the poem "Desiderata" and the sentence says:
"You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here"
We have the right to be here and to do the life we decide as the gentleman in this video is doing.
Speechless with his story.
Shew, your words go deep. We are so thankful that Edward's story touched you so deeply. May his words help and inspire you on your onward journey through life. Thank you for sharing the sentence of the poem, so powerful and loving. Sending much love and kindness to you. Justine and Michael. 💚
@@ReflectionsofLife Thank you so much for the kind and deep answer from you. I wish you both continue building a rich and meaningful life and pelase keep on doing these videos !

Watching from India, I've begun to look forward to these productions of yours.
They tell ever so beautifully and insightfully the stories of (what I think are) modern day sages - ordinary people, men and women, who are awakening to life and to themselves. It's very inspiring for the rest of us.
Thanks for the great work 🙏

You are so special. So many have had abusive pasts. It’s so sad. Sadly including myself. But I also climbed out and am happy. You tried and put your past behind you. Amazing. Thanks for your story! ❤️

Beautiful video, thanks for sharing. I didn’t search for it, it was recommended. I am in that phase of life where I have no choice rather to heal myself, save myself from myself only.
So glad you liked the video. May his message help you on your healing journey. Warmest hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Thank you for writing. Each day try again. I benefited from many people, some alive and some known only through their writing. If you start, help will be everywhere.
Sat sri akaal 🙏Thankyou so so much for making and sharing these videos. I am 21 years old from Punjab(India)and i always try to find the videos on yt that can really show the beauty and magic of life and this channel is exactly what i or i can say my soul wanted. There were hard times when i feel depressed, empty but then i watch these videos. Listening to these experienced, wise and lovely people makes me feel free and reminds me to reconnect with myself and the nature. They encourage and motivates me to live my life to the fullest, to see the beauty in every little thing, to make me feel that i am limitless. I cannot find any words to express my gratitude and my feelings, all i can say is thankyou so much😊🙏🙏

Thank you Edward for sharing your life and the courage it took to say, I’ve not been the person I wanted to be but I’m committed to change, and change you did. Living a congruent life takes courage as does being honest about our past and letting light into the dark places by telling our story and allowing the light to heal.

I listened concentrated. I have very difficult family of origin. What you did was the greatest gift of love to your parents. You healed them, too, as you did the work yourself. I love birds, trees, all nature. We get the outpour of love every moment.
We hope that, like Ed, you and your family find peace. And that you continue to find healing and solace in the natural world. Sending best wishes. Justine and Michael. x
I loved how you talked about your experience, Every day, we have to fight our own sins.
