SPIRITUAL CINEMA:
Heart-Opening, Uplifting, Inspiring, ENERGIZING
Movies have
a way of helping us effortlessly connect with LIFE (God, Universe, Source, ...
whatever name this Divine Energy goes by, for you), a wonderful source of
sustenance and
inspiration that calls forth what's loveliest in us and in the world, even when
we find ourselves
temporarily lost in a dark, constricted place.
Many of us are already familiar with the "overtly" spiritual movies What The
Bleep Do We Know?,
The Secret (the
version with Esther Hicks is best), and The Peaceful Warrior.
And,
there are many other wonderful, uplifting movies that are also an
abundant, joyful source of heart-opening inspiration. Here's
a list of just a few of those that will feed your Spirit and
warm your heart. Enjoy! (P.S. For the lowest-cost,
most convenient, best-
customer service access to unlimited movies, check out Blockbuster's Total
Access memberships.)
