Take a Break From Reality (TV)
I know I’ve talked (raved!) about Spiritual Cinema Circle
in the past but I felt compelled to mention it again. SCC is a monthly subscription to inspirational and spiritual
films. Each DVD includes three short films and one feature film. Every
month I look forward to receiving the DVD in the mail. I plan time to
sit down (sans kids) to watch the short films on one night and the feature on
another night. This gives me time to watch the discussion after each film.
I’m very excited about a new series they launched called Encounters: Portraits of Inspiring Lives.
The August DVD featured an interview with Jack Canfield followed by a short presentation
where he takes viewers through some exercises to get in touch with what brings
them joy in each area of their lives. Encounters
will feature a different personal growth expert every other month in the
Circle.
If you haven’t experienced the Spiritual Cinema Circle, give it a try for
free here.
Movie Review: The Shift with Dr. Wayne Dyer
Dr. Wayne Dyer is a legend in the self help genre. He is a
world renowned author and speaker who has written over 30 books. This is his
first film and hopefully not his last.
In The Shift, a
movie within a movie, Dr. Dyer plays himself. He is working with a film crew to
create a movie about a change in consciousness called The Shift. The concept of
The Shift is that we start out our lives based in our egos. Our focus is on achievement
and acquiring things. In “the afternoon of our lives”, as Dr. Dyer calls it, we
often experience a shift. Our thinking and priorities change from “What can I get?”
to “How can I serve?”
While Dr. Dyer interacts with his film crew and creates his
film, we see three other stories unfold. While there is minimal contact between
these characters, we feel a connection. They are all shifting to focus on what
truly matters. The Shift is set at Asilomar, an amazing resort in
Kerr.
The movie was the feature film in the November 2009 Spiritual Cinema Circle. It is available from Hay House and Amazon.
