Thank you Justine & Michael đ
Much of the worldâs conflict comes from a closed, heavy heart. We suppress emotions that cause us pain, we suffer from worry, fear and trauma. We encase our hearts in layers of protection, a fortress around our most sensitive selves, and the heart becomes rigid and closed. So our heart loses its shine and the spirit becomes restless, and unable to authentically express itself.
But we can learn to soften our hearts, recognising that we donât need the armour it thought it needed to keep it safe. You have the choice to free yourself of the emotional burdens you are holding onto. By opening your heart, you help yourself, others and the world to be a more loving place. Let go, choose love, and let your spirit soar.
Filmed in Theefontein, South Africa.

Who is Reflections of Life? We are Justine and Michael (previously known as Green Renaissance). We use our passion for filmmaking and our love of storytelling, to remind our audience of one simple truth â that we are all human. The more that we understand and believe in this interconnectedness, the more we will treat ourselves, one another, and planet earth with a greater sense of compassion.
In collaboration with iNous, we recently released a beautiful deck of 52 cards - each card containing a quote from one of our films, paired with the activating visual muses of Lanon Prigge. The aim of this deck is to rekindle child-like curiosity and creativity, helping to navigate the shared waters of our human experience with grace and joy. If youâd like to consider purchasing your copy, shop here - tgc.link/reflections
You can also sign up to take part in the Reflections of Life Intentional Journey, receiving a digital copy of each card direct to your email, over a consecutive 52 day period - inous.org/reflections-of-life-intentional-email-journey
