Shame, guilt, rage and resentment aren't part of our natural emotional state. And so when these feelings linger from past hurts, we often use denial to hide the original issues. But just like our physical health, our emotional well-being needs attention. Since emotional wounds aren't visible, we might think they'll go away if we ignore them, but they only grow worse in the dark. These wounds need our care and awareness to heal; otherwise, they just fester.

Healing deep emotional wounds takes courage because it means trusting your own feelings. It involves naming and understanding these emotions honestly. By having the courage to face and deal with shame, guilt, and other baggage, you start the process of healing and open yourself up to a more fulfilling life, ultimately improving your relationships with yourself and others.

“Don’t hide your heart but reveal it, so that mine might be revealed, and I might accept what I am capable of. ” - Rumi

Featuring Edward Celnicker.
Filmed in Portland, Oregon, USA.

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 – 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 you’d like to consider purchasing your copy, shop here - https://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 - https://www.inous.org/reflections-of-...
