A LOVING KIND MAN
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 бер 2022
- A large part of being alive is feeling emotions. It is a blessing to be aware enough of that which goes on inside us. And having the ability to confront all of our feelings head on and be present with them, is one of the most important gifts we can give to ourselves.
All emotions are valuable and can teach us profound lessons if we are willing to see them in this way. Anger shows us what boundaries have been crossed. Grief shows us what we are profoundly attached to. Fear shows us where our deepest doubts live.
But these emotions do not define who we are at our essence. We can choose how we react to them. We can choose to feed the dark sides of these emotions that only breed more darkness. Or we can choose to use these emotions as a compass pointing us towards our light.
“The best and the most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched. They must be felt with the heart.” - Helen Keller
Filmed in Cape Town, South Africa.

I loved it when he said "The more loving gentle kind I am to myself I'm more able to be like that for others." So so true. Lovely video.
Thank you Jessica. We are glad you liked it. Hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
So true

Yes.. I struggled previously for years with that concept. 😢
Me too!
I am always amazed how often people have a dog that looks and feels just like them. These 2 are soul brothers for sure.
You are right Yuki, they are great friends. 💚
I saw that
🌻🦋🐕🌈♥️ our greatest healers and teachers- any hurting heart will bloom and blossom and learn compassion with the love and devotion of a DOG-🐕♥️🐶♥️🐶♥️🐕
I feel like this should be a quote. So true. My girlfriend tells me all the time me and my dog are just alike and I see it like crazy!!
@@belindachambers7585 ALL animals have a character of their own. No one is the same.
NO animal eating please!
Emotions are the most wonderful gift given to mankind: or its greatest curse; depending on which kind you allow to express themselves.
This is so true!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.💚
AMEN ! ! ! 👍
"One of the most sacred of emotions is shame" I was just amazed when I heard this because I first learned it from my religion. The Prophet ﷺ said, “Every religion has a distinguishing characteristic and for Islam that characteristic is shame.
I heard that in a moment I was getting the feeling of shame of not feeling ashamed even though I had failed to meet my own ideal and that got me to think about my principles.
Thank you for sharing these thoughts. So glad his message spoke to you. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
Ahhh....his courage to question his anger moves me. He speaks beautifully, maybe he could narrate audio books ? I could listen to him & gently sigh & fall asleep. I feel he will always belong to his mountains, and his beautiful smiley dog. Sending love. 💖🌍🔥🦋🐕
Thank you for this lovely message Anjou. Hugs to you, Justine and Michael.💚
Anyone can volunteer
People do damage when they have been damaged -- quite true.
Da, svidja mi se njegov prekrasan nasmijani pas. Pozdrav iz Hrvatske!
Dogs are little angels 😇
They are precious and special, we agree.💚
Ohh, yes, yes, they are beautiful!! I have a dog (Siri)!
What would life be like without dogs. I’ve always had them and they have enriched my life so much.
He speaks from the heart and soul. His words are what we need to hear amidst the modern chaos of life.
We are glad you enjoyed Craig's message. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
❤❤❤
These films are slices of wisdom, lessons, self love, awareness of oneself. I feel called by each story. Profound. I could go on for days!! I will say they awaken my soul. And I’m listening. Finally I have found myself. It is the loveliest thing.
It's good to hear you find yourself. hopefully you will bring more peace into this world.
Thanks for sharing these beautiful thoughts with us, so wonderful to hear that these videos resonate with you so much. Warm hugs and happy weekend, Justine and Michael.💚
So true, we should be taught how to deal with emotions. I like Craig's positive interpretation of carrying shame, something like humility
We are so glad this video resonated with you Linda. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael.💚
That's what Buddhism taught me .loving kindness to ourselves first then it naturally extends to others
My absolute favorite UA-cam channel. Real. Genuine. Soulful & so very important. So much love for every single of you & your work. Thank you for being such incredible humans & sharing stories of such incredible humans. That’s the humanKIND nature has produced & we need more kind humans like this 🙏🏽💚💚💚
Wow, thank you for these lovely words, all the encouragement. It really touches us. We plan to release many more of these videos. Many warm wishes to you, Justine and Michael. 💚
yes, every one of their videos touch me in some way and make me think about life and how precious it is. So glad I found Green Renaissance and want to tell everyone about it.
I just love this community ❤️In a couple of days I'll be turning 21, looking back to when I was just 19 that was when I came across this channel. I've evolved so much and this channel has personally - on an emotional level and morally benefitted me. Keep doing what y'all are doing!! 👏
Thank you Nyulih. It is so nice to read that our videos could inspire and help you and that we could be part of your life for the past two years. We wish you all the best for the year that lies ahead and send you many warm wishes. Justine and Michael. 💚
Beautiful as always. I think that Craig is much farther along on his spiritual journey than most people his age. Thank you for sharing his story with us. 💚
Thank you Deborah, it's an absolute pleasure to share this video. Much love to you, Justine and Michael.💚
I agree and am inspired by this young man. Shame and Guilt are two separate emotions. I refuse to feel Ashamed bc I'm a human and still feel everything. At one time I shut down internally. I could process nothing and flee to the whiskey bottle for relief. 5 yrs sober. Reflecting and not getting stuck. More let it go and give it to our Creator. Much heart felt compassion going out too.
@@gypsylove4291 💚 Sounds as if your journey has taken a good turn. Hoping all continues to go well for you. 🙏
This young guy has a lot of insight about his life, daring to look at his maleness and the challenges of emotions like anger. These films ought to be seen in public school classrooms by all ages. Wonderful series, thanks.
A HUGE shout out to this fabulous crew who gave so freely of their time and energy to help with translations on this film...

Cảm ơn chị Thi Lê ạ.
Thank you for letting us be part of your wonderful work.
Some of the best conversations we can have are the ones we have with ourselves.
Interesting thought Gary. Something to ponder on. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
Truth There….
This story is the road less travelled. It takes tremendous courage to take a deep and continuous look inward and feel ALL the feelings. Most people can't do it. For those that can life gets so much more rewarding in the form of healthier and closer relationships with others but mostly with ourselves!
Thank you for sharing these beautiful thoughts. Glad his message meant much to you. Warmest hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
As a mom with young kids, I can relate to him, in so many ways we were not taught the tools to deal with our emotions.
Thank you for sharing. We wish you all the best in the upbringing of your children.💚
Both my parents couldn’t show emotions… and I’ve resented that fact I felt deprived as I realised this was my lack in life. I’m learning now not to blame…I’m loving myself and putting myself love into me and breaking the mould of emotional loss. My sister verbally bullied me , as did my father….I have to forgive now because I realise they bully to make up for their own shortcomings. Both parents now gone ….and sister estranged emotionally and physically as we both get on with our lives ..separately . Sometimes it’s the best way to be happy and content.
“Awareness is often the medicine.” So very true. It is when we take the time to listen to ourselves with no judgement, that we can begin our journey of healing. Often so, this journey continues for the rest of our lives. And that’s okay. There’s no moment when we feel that it is final.
Life is meant to teach you everyday. That is what makes it so precious. We fall, We learn, we forgive, and we continue to keep trying our best. 🕊
Beautiful thoughts Priscilla.💚
My brother is several years younger than the other three of us. He was born with a cleft palate and had a speech impediment. We were merciless towards him. I will never ever understand why it was allowed by our parents and it hurts me so much to think about till this day and I am 54. It makes me angry on many levels.
Thank you for sharing your experiences and thoughts with us. We hope you get on as siblings now, or maybe this can be an opening to talk. 🙂 Kind wishes, Justine and Michael.💚
When you know better , you do better. Hopefully he is around to apologize to. You can’t change the past but you certainly have learned from it. Your parents should have interjected and shown you right from wrong. Somehow though we learn an unforgettable lesson when we err. I have to believe that you are all the greater because of it. Be kind to yourself as well as your brother.
as a young man, I suffered the curse of a long life ahead of me, often living as if this journey would just go on forever, if only just for me. now as an older and sometimes, somewhat wiser man, the moment by moment emotions that travel through my existence, consistently remind me of how amazing this life has been, and continues to be. I live a fuller life today simply by allowing myself the pleasure to feel, to emote among those I care about beyond those youthful perceptions of formality. just an ordinary man living an ordinary life full of wonder and amazement around every curve in the road I travel.......
Beautiful, so nice that you eventually found a place where you can enjoy life and be happy. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael.💚
Sometimes Somewhat wiser
How well chosen are your words 💖
@@lisarodriguez8681 thanx Lisa
That is beautiful!
@@cv9244 thank u.....
Thank you so much. What a beautiful man Craig is. He helps so many of us by sharing his story. These films are absolutely precious. They remind us of what it means to be human 🙏🏼
Glad you enjoy our videos Flamingo. Kind wishes, Justine and Michael.💚
Feeling IS Healing ❤
💚
I have lived offgrid on a romanian hill for some years, daily learning and working with our Mother and can safely say that she helped me a lot to mature, let go of many new-age superficial ideas i picked up while living in the cities, fake , complicated concepts that i see also in many brothers and sisters from cities, that brought us to becoming more gullibile, submissive, on the brink of losing our health, freedoms and lives to globalist's depopulation and total control agenda and in the same time destroying the surface of the planet due to our "cosy" city living. Can't agree more with native americans that so paciently kept inviting us to return to nature, the only healthy way to carry on. We are out of balance because we ignore our providing planet.
Thank you for sharing Adrian, very interesting thoughts.💚
I'm looking to relocate and live off grid in Romania! Would it be possible to exchange emails?
Thank you for sharing this!
Just be careful to never carry someone else's shame. Intergenerational shame is something we all must identify as never our responsibility. Beautiful saying "Void of wisdom". So true and such a brave young man.
Thank you for writing to us and sharing these thoughts Kay. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael.💚
So that's what I'm doing wrong ! Thank you so much ! I have been carrying shame that doesn't belong to me.
Such a beautiful video. The mountains are truly humbling. This man has alot of wisdom, and come to some great understandings.
Thank you Nicholas.💚
If only all big brothers would be this thoughtful and introspective. It my life, it would have made a big difference. This beautiful man is so thoughtful and caring. Not only an inspiration for me... but helps me see what I needed in my big brother... then...and now.
Another meaningful message, thank you for sharing. We wish you all the best for your relationship with your brother. Kind wishes, Justine and Michael.💚
I’ve been on both side of the coin. I was verbally abused by my older sister since I was born to this day. It has been my greatest life lesson. She took every ounce of my self esteem as a kid and teen. It took my 40 years to realize it never was about me. I looked inside myself. I took the lessons and grew. Never have been able to talk about it with her because she will never acknowledge it. On the flip side as a teen with low self esteem I took it out on my wonderful mother. I eventually grew up and hopefully made up for that. But she died when I was 30 and I still feel guilt for the way I treated her as a teen… now that I’m an adult at 54, I wish I could talk to her more about it. It’s all lessons. It all has meaning, all emotions. Oh and I love the mountains and I do want to live on top of one. 😉
Thank you for sharing Kristin. We wish you all the best and peace in your heart on your walk through life. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael.💚
Wow My brothers name was Craig
He moved on 2 years ago at 53 I am now 53, this was our connection
I understand, understood his path
It was one of anger and resentment
And all the while he just wanted to be loved like us all
He is at peace now and so am I.
The bond never leaves us
Rest easy Brother
My rock ❤️
What a touching message, thank you for sharing. Glad this video resonated with you. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
It always boils down to hurt people hurt people.
Yes, it unfortunately happens. But thankfully we can try and change things. Kind wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
This one was awesome. For young and old. Truth be told, we have all been there, but many are not lucky enough to find the conversation or the emotion with the ones we care about most. Even if it is ourself
Thank you, we are glad you liked it. Absolutely true, we have all been at this point at some time. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael.💚
Beneath every anger, shame, guilt is love. A path from the outer surface to the inner core of who we are. I am grateful for the ones who saw me and loved me when I was lost, confused and oblivious of who I am.
Deeply moving words - thank you for sharing. And thank also for opening your heart to all that Craig shared with us. Much love to you. Justine and Michael 💚
I like that he said “I’m glad I feel. I know that’s the way…running from feelings is like setting up a slow suffering process”. Very inspiring words.
We are glad his message resonated with you, thank you for watching. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Apart from man's story the music, the camera lens, the cinematic views, the cinematography, the place&mountains everything is joyful watching.
I think most of us have gone through the same emotions journeys as if anger frustration joy happy sadness but soul finds rest in wisdom of our true self.
Thank you very much for your encouraging words, we appreciate them. And yes, we have all been at this point at some stage in our life. But can find peace. Warm wishes to you, Justine and Michael.💚
Beautiful. The best thing about being human is, we have the chance to change and evolve to become a better person. BTW, how adorable was the doggie..
Glad you enjoyed the video and also the doggie Anita. We certainly can makes changes, absolutely true.💚
When we know better we can choose to do better, just as this man has and continues to do. It requires both courage and humility. The hope for our world lies in the decisions we make to do better. Our emotions are messages to us, if we are willingly to stop, hear them and find a way with them and through them. Thanks to all who made this beautiful video for the world! Kathleen & Justin, USA
Thank you for sharing these beautiful thoughts again Kathleen and Justin, always nice to read. We are very thankful that we were able to share Craig's story. Warm wishes to you in the USA, Justine and Michael.💚
Wonderful that the dog friend waits and watches him surf. Doesn't run away. And they reunite when he comes ashore. They share sea and mountains and sunshine and home together. Meditate on that union and bond. Beautiful. Two sentient beings being unconditionally present for each other
Beautiful message, so nice to read. Thank you for sharing. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
The miracle of life. An incredible gift.
Not every second is good but right now is rather wonderful Angel daughter's watch over me.I FEEL THEM.🙏☺️
So true - not every moment of life is easy - we are all faced with obstacles and challenges. It's how we choose to show up in those moments of darkness that help to define who we truly are. Sending you much love. Justine and Michael x
Feelings are so important . My son has been at kindy for all of four weeks and he came home the other day saying that boys don't cry . Needless to say we are getting the fuck out of that kindy and going to one that cares about children's emotional health .
We hope you can find the right place for your son.💚
Oh, wow! Describing a lot what I ve done! And applause to that a MAN did it as well! So there's absolutely hope for more understanding of all the connections and a way for peace☺️Listening, listening, listening, softening all the sorrow❣️
Thank you for watching Christine. Glad the video was meaningful. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael.💚
I commend him for recognizing that the anger he felt within was projected to his brother and that he was able to express this to his brother. He mentions never having been taught how to recognize his emotions and how to deal with them, I hope he recognizes that his parents or caregivers probably had no idea how to deal with their own feelings and couldn’t help him, most people do the best they can with what they know and hopefully more people grow and learn to do better when they know better.
Thank you for sharing these thoughts, for your encouragement to grow and learn as we go along. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
It's amazing to me how compassionate we can be with others, and turn around and be so hard on ourselves. I have spent most of my life that way. I finally got to a breaking point a couple of years ago and shifts are happening. A guaranteed way to unhappiness is to deny our emotions and the reasons why we feel them. None of us are flawed, and we are also all flawed as humans. If we can see that, we see that we're all the same. I think that the only way to truly change is on a spiritual level. Thank you to Craig for this video, his honesty, vulnerability and humility show a wise soul. For me, being in nature is a necessary part of my life, and is sometimes the only thing that feels real in this crazy world.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts Erin and pondering on things. We are glad the video resonated with you. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
This channell is what Social media and Media interaction should looks like."I am loving life and i'm happy where i am".
THANK YOU for seeing the value in the sharing of these stories, and for joining us on this journey. We send you much love. Justine and Michael 💚
Thank you once again. I can always relate to the messages I see and hear through your videos. Life is temporary like he says and anger can and has spoilt some of it for me this week. I'm trying to teach my young daughters how to manage this emotion. One of the things I do is get them to drink water when they are angry . A few sips and they usually calm down. There is now scientific proof it alters the chemical compositions inside us leading to a calmer state. This is in line with my beliefs . This man was very reflective I wish everyone could do that. Thank you so much. Xxxx
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences, interesting about the drinking of water. Glad our videos resonate with you. Warm wishes , Justine and Michael.💚
I learn awhile back that anger always hides hurts, pain, disappointment and sadness. It shows up as a coping mechanism. I am anger based, it comes out in many form like impatience, frustration, intolerance and rage. It is very destructive in how life is experienced. I found out about the events in my childhood life that caused such pain and why I became anger prone. Although today I understand and I am aware of my thinking patterns, it is still a long process to change that chemistry. Will it ever disappear? I don't know. I have tools today to help myself, focusing on feelings of gratitude, practicing presence in the now, and a big one is too SLOW down and ENJOY the process in all my activities without being concerned with the end result. That is quite a rewarding practice. And last but not least, contemplation in nature is very powerful.
As you can see this video/topic was right on point for me. I have great admiration for this man's humility. His inner journey shines bright. Thank you to all involved in the making of this short film. 🙏
Thank you for your encouraging words and sharing your thoughts and experiences with us Sylvie. We are glad this video meant so much to you. So good that you found a way for yourself to deal with problematic situations. We wish you all the best further. Kind wishes, Justine and Michael.💚
We can’t change our past, but we can hand it over to God. Then learn from it, and be a better person today than we were yesterday. Grow into a beautiful soul…that’s the goal 💫 ❤
💚
These videos make me feel tranquil and grateful for life. Thanks a lot!
It's an absolute pleasure to share them, glad you like them Maximiliano. 💚
You have done it again Green Renaissance. You have made another beautiful inspirational video. I love you folks xx
Thank you Polly, glad you enjoy this video as well. We appreciate having you with us on this journey. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael.💚
Thanks for sharing your story. I have a 23-year-old son and since he was a baby he has had a very strong character. With explosions that blind him and he has left many therapies. Sadly he is constantly fired from his jobs. Only trust me. He hardly has any friends. The Mexican culture is one of those who think (in many cases), he is your son and you must carry him. I don't think the same. He doesn't live in my house and when we talk, I speak to him with adult love. I hope with all my love that one day he finds his center and balance.
Thank you for sharing with us about your son. We truly hope you and your son can find a way, that he can receive a calm and peaceful spirit. We send you much love and strength. Hugs, Justine and Michael.💚
It's 0430 here in the remote mountains of the Escalante. I'm having my cup of coffee. Billy, my dearest companion is snoring gently beside me. Today I will plant 55 trees. Already I am in a profound state of gratitude. Thank you for this.
Thank you for watching this video. So glad you could start your day with a positive spirit. We hope the tree planting went well, amazing project. Warm wishes to you across the waters, Justine and Michael.💚
What a beautifully articulated expression of self-discovery. Love it. Thank you for sharing ❤
You are so welcome Jennifer!💚
This is beautiful and necessary. Your videos give me peace and make me love life a bit more. Love from Argentina
We are so glad this video was so meaningful and helpful Natalia. Warm hugs across the waters to you in Argentina. Justine and Michael.💚
This was such a beautiful thing to watch....would hug you if I could. You are right...
E_motions have such a powerful effect on us yet we are never taught to investigate its source because...the question is...who will teach us? Most adults are themselves facing having to deal with their unresolved mess.
Anger is a knot in our energy system stored in our dna when an experience of lack of control....past or present ...does not find a release.Whenever our power/ free will is taken away from us we inflict that pain on others...unknowingly. ... that shame you talk about is an overwhelming sense of guilt, a sudden/ gradual disappearance of ignorance for unknowingly hurting someone.
Forgive yourself for doing to your brother by forgiving those who did that to you...society, family....whoever. Release the shame. Shame is not the same as awareness. Awareness has a sense of rising up, hope, new light.
Shame is a disempowering emotion that lowers self love. It keeps you tied to the mistake not to the realisation of the new knowledge.
It is as harmful as ego _ both are unhelpful as both arise out of lack of awareness.
I think he used the word shame in the sense of having the feeling of being humble enough to correct one's own miserable and misbehaving self. Just as he said, it is really human to feel shame. To grow up to the level of enlightenment or that grade of awareness is another realm of experience. It is not a common or an easily attainable thing/ matter/ state/ concept or whatever. It's more of stage talks than of real life experiences . It's a big business in our country, India. We are trying to benefit materially through spiritual tourism as far I know.
But to be ashamed of one's own bad deeds and to have a mentality not to repeat it, is simply almost enough to make this world much better.
Let's learn to walk steadily first before trying to learn how to fly.
@@ligimathew7372 Yes, I know love.
One leads to remorse and change in behavior.
The other leads to a self defeating, self defaming attitude, and remains only at an( extremely) negative thought lvl.
Apology only comes out from the first type. Escapism from the other.
Thank you for sharing these thoughts Maya, so glad you enjoyed the video. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael.💚
Beautiful enlightening words of compassionate wisdom.
Thank you.
I hope you’re happy healthy peaceful and abundant.
Your words are a precious gift
After running angry through the supermarket this video was so on point for me. Thanks.
Great that the video reached you at a significant moment and was good for you.💚
Craig is genuine, deeply sensitive, and an insightful man. Loved his metaphors and the understanding he shared. He'd make a great healer, counselor, teacher and father figure in any community. Thank you for sharing yet another heartfelt, moving story. Great video! 💜
Thank you for your precious comment Bridget. We are so glad we could share Craig's story. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael.💚
I was listening to a song by Tears for Fears today and one of the lyrics said " Find out, find out, what this fear is about " as if emotions had a consciousness unto themselves.
Thank you for sharing.💚
Thank your for sharing. Generations were told wrong things- the truth is we are strong, loving and blessed...and we are good enough.
We thank you for sharing your thoughts with us Isabell.💚
@@ReflectionsofLife Thank you for your answer💚💙. I was sharing an inner knowledge or something like an inner awareness. Since this entered my life, doubt and anxiety have left and thoughts and overthinking have reduced very much. It's more from deep inside and gives stability.
Im so filled with each of your short full stories. Seeing the compassion for others people have is a blessing. One beautiful person after another. Thank you for your amazing films ❤️
You are so welcome, we are really glad you enjoy these videos so much. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
Such wisdom.
My brothers were unable to do this, to speak hurts, work through pain, emotions, differences with each other, before we lost my oldest 6mnths ago. Now my younger must live the rest of his life with this.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
Sorry, to hear this about your brothers. But it happens so often unfortunately. We all need to become more conscious with one another. We hope your younger brother will be ok and find peace. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael.💚
Another gem. Well done GR. Impacting lives a story at a time.
Thank you Josephine. We are so glad if we can make a difference with our videos.💚
“The anger is like a clean blazing fire” . Ayurveda says that the element of fire is positive. The quality is transformation and assimilation whether in thoughts, digestion, or energy. Beautiful!
Thank you for sharing these thoughts and the quotation Kaylynn. Definitely words to ponder on. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
I live near the Magalies in Pretoria. I'm fortunate in that I can sit and meditate early in the mornings. The mountain is like a presence that brings so much calm to my life. Yes, many people have never experienced the love of a mother or father who carried them on their shoulders or rocked them in their arms. Such a person finds it so hard to give and receive physical love and tender care.
Thank you for sharing these thoughts, inviting us to ponder. Enjoy your time outdoors near the Magalies. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
I would like to express my deep gratitude to Green Renaissance for making this video. I hope you'll always be happy in everyone' lives.😊💓💓
Thank you for these kind and encouraging words, we appreciate it. Kind wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
A lot of positive in your message. Having shame can make us change fo the better n treat others with love n respect. Mountains are so healing be it climbing or even living there. Thank u so much. Very lovely message 😊
Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed it Mhopi.💚
This needs to be the discussion with all! Especially all the young injured men in America that are using guns to harm others because of their pain.
Thank you for your thought Jennifer. Feel free to share it with anyone who you feel might benefit from Craig's story. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Shame is a sacred emotion.

Thank you for sharing this thought, Ronald. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Thank you for sharing your story, there Truly is hope for everyone who becomes self aware and tries sincerely to become the best version of themselves. And there comes a time when we can let go of the heavy baggage that we carry from our past less conscious time. Compassion for ourselves, others and for the human experience guides the WAY. Love to All.
It's an absolute pleasure to share Craig's story with you. Nice that it had meaning to you. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael.💚
Emotion is also the only way to summon spirit. Your open heart is the pathway to connection with all. LOVE it!!

Paused midway just to compliment the beautiful compositions here. Truly gorgeous frames.
Once again you've touched my soul. I've had and still wrestle with similar emotions and feelings. Thank you .
We are glad this is another meaningful video, thank you for sharing your thoughts Roger. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael.💚
The gift of emotion especially humility and leaving the past unpleasant emotions to the past makes wonders in our life.
Thank you for sharing.💚

If only more people in the world would even TRY to think this way 💕

Nice to have taken responsibilty for pain inflicted on the brother and spoken it out loud. That's a brave and strong thing to do, and a rare thing. Courage, in my opinion, looks like this.

Craig's honest and down to earth story reminded me of my journey in discovering 'the gift of guilt' and the healthy aspects of other properly experienced emotions. For me, emotions are like guardian angels that keep me in touch with my center. They tell me when a boundary has been, or is about to be crossed. I get to decide what to do about it. Feelings are just that... feelings. They are not facts. Should I choose not to address them, feelings can indeed become toxic when held inside. They can lead to dis-ease of all kinds. Again, I get to choose. I'm still a student in the classroom. Thanks for another spot-on life lesson.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts Larry. Nice to read that the video was meaningful. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael.💚
Another very nice video. My favorite part was at the end, when he says "I'm loving life, for sure", and then he gives us a very sincere smile. Thanks GR, for always giving us so nice messages through your videos💚💚
Thank you Rj, glad you liked the video. And we appreciate your kind words, it means a lot to us. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael.💚
Thank you for this beautiful and inspiring story.That emotions can be a wonderful, if sometimes , a painful teacher to help us grow as human beings. To realize our place in this life and the Earth through our connections with now we interact with each other!
We are so glad we could share Craig's story, thank you for sharing your thoughts Carl.💚.
Just chose the environment YOU wish!
I did the same. Living almost 30 years in a very small village surrounded by fields, woods, streams. Squirrels in my garden.
NO city life for me ever again! Not for a billion.
NO animal eating!!!!!
Glad you enjoyed what Craig shared. Nice that you can live in an area with nature and animal life around you. 💚
I love Green Renaissance films!
Green is my happy color 💚

Thank you for your lovely message, that our videos help you in various ways. We are glad you are part of our journey. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael 💚
You hit the nail on the head 2:10. We are all robbed of our innate, natural and true nature by conditioning/ parents/schools and existing in this unreality/realm. We are all good and full of wisdom when we are young, we have to uncover it now and start properly living. Everything is impermanent and is always changing. :)
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We are glad his message meant much to you. Warmest hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
The world is not all cruel. These videos keep me hopeful. Seeing the beauty of being a human is still alive, i want to live a little more. Thank you with all my heart. ❤️
Thank you Zeenia for your kind words, we are glad that we can share some positivity. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚

You have acquired such wisdom Craig , there is a serenity about you which somehow has been absorbed by your dog also. He seems to respond to your mood and is able to sit quietly and contemplate . I enjoyed your chat
Thank you Linda, nice to read that you enjoyed his chat.💚
Loved this wonderful treasure your films bring to the human! Always seeking the best! Keep it up!!
Thank you! We hope to release many more videos. Kind wishes, Justine and Michael.💚
I really love the authentic honesty, and how he knew change needed to come and what steps he took to be kinder both to himself and others and how he still sees it as a work in progress. More men sharing like this is really wonderful.
We are glad you enjoyed what Craig shared. 💚
One of the most sacred human emotions is shame ❤
💚
This fellow is lucky that he is doing this introspection at such a young age. Bravo!
Thank you for the kind words. 💚
What a wonderful person. He has identified his weakness and dealing with it. You have to let go of the past and be in the moment. You do not know the future either. Its good to make amends while u can. Like he has reconciled with his brother. Thank u green renaissance for these inspirational videos ❤
It is such a pleasure to share them Savitri.💚
I know this anger story in myself- how healing the workshop and where would we be without a dog🌻🦋🐕🌈♥️
Thank you for watching Belinda.💚
All people features in this channel has a something beautiful in them. Light aura, Calm soul, Soothing persona. Hope to be like them, they are so amazingly beautiful and refreshing to watch.🌿
Lovely words. We are so glad that the different videos mean much to you and inspire you. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
People need to do their own healing before having children who have to heal from having them as parents!!!
Thank you for watching the video and sharing this thought Rita. Kind wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
This is a wonderful reflection and metaphor of how being aware of our emotions is incredibly vital ❤️ Thank you for sharing your own special vision with us, Graig! It’s even more beautiful coming out of a man’s perspective since society makes them (& all humans) repress our own feelings & emotions. Not everyone is aware and conscious about how emotions work. I myself have had repressed so much that I only started to proceed and seriously understand emotions in my half twenties, when covid hit. I hope humanity can wake up and be aware of all of their wounds & work on them to heal, and stand tall like those mountains ❤️🩹❤️
Thank you for sharing all these beautiful thoughts with us, we are glad this video resonated with you. Kind wishes, Justine and Michael.💚
A wonderful sharing of his experiences and lessons.
We have the ability to choose which parts of our personality we will act from. Knowing this can be quite empowering. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it. 💚
What a lovely gentleman and his beautiful 🐕
So happy you enjoyed the video. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
