the following is a bright and joyful video-story of the events that took place between the dates, june 9 to october 30, 2015.
i was reminded to share as most have never seen it.
it’s a story with no extra action needed. a story that’s been heard and seen by 6,324 people from all corners of the world. you can click here or click on the image below to listen and to watch the video-story.
in minute 4:14, for the very first time, i introduced the words LOVE OR FEAR in one sentence.
i never talked about fear. not before. not after.
back then, i only talked about love (with fears locked away).
— a breathing break —
if you’d like, here’s a short story of the making.
in 2015, just days before christmas, the entire message struck me like lightning. it cracked me open like a tree. it broke into my heart. it rushed through my mind. and in no time, i grabbed my tablet and wrote it down in one steady flow.
days later, my mexican friend said, “lets record it. i have studio. i have equipment.”
we rolled down to the studio, and i was amazed what i saw. they had all i needed. and with their help, i made my vision come to life.
i snatched ideas from my all-time-favorite, the HUMAN documentary when four hours in we walked out of the studio back into the burning sun of mexican desert.
the first stage of production was finished. but more was to come.
in a new home, i worked through christmas and new years. i added text, photos and audio to compliment the headshot and the message already recorded. also, i added moving clips of the bicycle which i had filmed weeks prior with my friends iphone without knowing i’d ever use them. then, i rearranged and played out various scenarios.
for the spontaneous project i used apple’s imac powered with final cut pro, the professional video editing software. i had never used them before which dropped me deep into exploration. i knew people who had tools. and i made time to learn.
within two weeks, i swam through endless lessons and some sleepless nights.
it was the breath i breathed. once i started, i couldn’t stop.
first days of january 2016, i shipped it.
i then jumped on my bike and took off again, this time to america, not knowing what’s up ahead.
the stories, before and after, will come into the book in writing coz that’s where they belong. their home is in a long story form with small stories intertwined in their power of a big story.
the video from years back unrolled the magic ever present. in days, it became my ticket to meet the amazing Dr. Joe Dispenza, a world leader in the topic of mind over matter. from that moment on, new people swam into my heart. people who are still here. people whose stories will be told with mine.
i know it in my heart of heart, the book LOVE OR FEAR will be filled with miracles. not because i want to. it’s merely the reality of life i am called to portray.
can i deliver? i believe i can. but in all honesty, no one knows.
i am thankful for the ones who’ve leaped with me.
which reminds me, in april 2017 i was asked, “elsa, what’s the number 1 thing you’ve learned in life?”
“trust the unknown,” i said in a heartbeat.
ps. here’s another video that brings out tears of joy – it’s me giving hugs in vietnam in feburary 2014. it’s been seen 3,643 times.
what if everything in your life, no matter if you believe it or not, and no matter if you like it or not, unfolds exactly the way it’s needed to help you to take the next step in your spiritual evolution?
