Spiritual Cinema Circle Films for May, 2008

I figured all you folks out there who read my blog each week could use a short break from the series I’ve been writing about stress. I’d like to use this week’s posting to tell you about the wonderful lineup of films for May, 2008, (see the descriptions below) with the Spiritual Cinema Circle. This is a great time to think about joining me in this great program. It’s especially great because this is the month where we celebrate Mother’s Day. What a wonderful gift this could be for your Mom. Just think, fresh new films every month — that she can keep. This could be the gift that keeps on giving, month after month.

And just think — when Mom’s finished watching the films, she might even decide to share them with you!! Isn’t that a great deal.

I hope you’ll take a look at the offerings for May, 2008, and find out what an amazing program this is. Just click this button to learn more.

Here are the offerings for May, 2008 ….

Spiritual Cinema Circle

Three-Fifty: This hilarious short film takes us into the world of two video store clerks who are tired of people arguing over late fees and a little nervous about keeping their customers loyal in the age of digital downloads.

Spiritual Cinema Circle

Body and Soul; Diana and Kathy: In the most touching documentary the SCC has ever had the privilege to program, we meet Diana and Kathy, activists, best friends, two parts who make a whole. They met almost 40 years ago in a home for the physically and mentally challenged and have been taking care of each other ever since while fighting for rights for those with disabilities. You will never forget these two incredible women and the difference they’ve made on the planet.

Spiritual Cinema Circle

Feathers to the Sky: Filmed in Uruguay, this beautiful short film depicts a young girl, living with her disabled grandfather, who is forced to sell `feathers’ (dyed marsh weeds) to support them both while she dreams of going to school with the other children in the village.

And, here is the feature film for May, 2008. Guarding Eddy. It’s a beautiful story and one that is sure to live in your heart and mind for some time.

Spiritual Cinema Circle

Guarding Eddy: This touching feature is based on the true story of 18 year-old Eddy Patterson, an autistic sports fanatic who dreams of playing pro-basketball. After running away to Los Angeles, Eddy lands in a homeless shelter where he meets pro-player Mike Jeffreys, who had given up on his own dream of the NBA because of a knee injury. The two men teach each other important lessons while discovering real friendship and a rebirth of possibility in their lives. A beautiful story that reminds us that we all face our challenges no matter how talented we seem to be, and we can all use a little help to stay on track.

Just click on any of the photos for the films — or the banner below to learn more about how you can become a part of the Spiritual Cinema Circle for yourself, or as a gift for your Mom this Mother’s Day.

Cinema Circle Valentines Films

Yes I know, this isn’t directly related to your health or nutrition. I’ll get back to some of our bad habits next week — I promise.

However, in a way, this is related to your health. It’s about a wonderful way to share some beautiful films with someone you love. That has to make you feel good, doesn’t it? I know it will work for me — and here’s your chance to make it work for you.

Why do we fall so deeply in love?
Why are relationships so difficult?
Are life-long monogamous relationships still possible in today’s world?

Interesting questions, huh? Profound too! Read on to see what this is all about.

Some of today’s prominent experts and ordinary people explore these questions and more in the Emmy-nominated documentary film SONG OF SONGS. This endearing film addresses an often misunderstood topic that most of us spend much of our lives trying to find, maintain, or rekindle…romantic love.

Filmmaker Chris Brickler interviewed over 150 people around the world, from all walks of life, trying to understand the essence of what makes relationships successful.

Spiritual Cinema Circle co-founder Stephen Simon says, “Brickler’s debut film is passionate, mesmerizing, humorous, and touching.

SONG OF SONGS is a paean to love in all its wonderful, messy, and complex glory. In addition, Brickler’s background as a musician serves the film beautifully, as the music throughout is both haunting and utterly romantic.”

With the divorce rate at 50% and statistics showing that 60% of men and 40% of women cheat, the film asks, “Are we built to be monogamous”? Relationship expert Harville Hendrix offers this insight: “Stay in your relationship when it’s the worst because when it gets really bad, it’s about to change, yet most people leave so they never get to the change and it’s such a tragedy.”

For this month of February, 2008 — AND ONLY UNTIL FEBRUARY 20TH — new subscribers to the Spiritual Cinema Circle can receive their first DVD free (for a nominal shipping fee). (After February 20th, we’ll be delivering the March films only!)

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, this is the perfect way to offer meaningful and heartfelt gifts to share with your loved ones.

SONG OF SONGS is the featured selection in the February Spiritual Cinema Circle DVD club. New subscribers to the Spiritual Cinema Circle can receive a free trial membership (for a only nominal shipping fee).

Click Here — or click the Spiritual Cinema Circle banner over in the left margin to place your order for your free trial membership. This is a great month to do this, especially if you have someone you love to share them with you.

Song of Songs: This feature documentary explores the challenges of relationships. If we are all so fascinated by love, why is it so difficult to make a romantic relationship last? This sweet film reminds us of our true inner nature: one that is inspired and nourished by love.

Driftwood: Blair (Melinda Page Hamilton) attempts to lighten up her life by dating (adopting, really) an odd young man with amnesia.

The Rub of Attraction: This Elevate film festival winner stars SCC favorite Scott Cervine in a humorous take on the challenges we face in getting the Law of Attraction to work for us.

The Wellness of YOU! - # 193 - Decisions! Decisions!

How often do you start your day with all the good intentions in the world? You know what I mean — “Today I’m going to do all the right things for myself!” “Today, I’m going to eat only good healthy food!” “Today, I’m going to make decisions that are the best choices for my life!”

weight loss, nutrition, health, diet, breakfast

I know I sure do have days when I start out with the feeling that making right decisions will be as natural as walking down the street. We all know what’s best for us in our lives, right? We know what relationships are going to be right — we know what food we should eat. Yet, for some strange reason, we constantly make the wrong decisions. We end up hanging out with someone who is totally negative and wears us out. We would rather eat some fast food than a nutritious salad. We convince ourselves that we’re too tired to do some exercise, even though we know that doing the exercise will energize us. We skip taking the vitamins in the morning because we’re “in a hurry”, even though we know that we’ll feel better all day if we do take them.

Why do we do that?

Have you ever stopped to realize that making wrong choices may have something to do with not wanting to feel fit and strong? We may be able to convince ourselves that it’s because we’re too busy — or too tired — or too broke — but could it be that we’re unconsciously trying to sabotage ourselves without being really aware that we’re doing it?

If we dig down real deep, I think most of us will find that IS the case. It doesn’t make any sense, does it? We know what the right decision is, yet we make a conscious choice to do the opposite. We know when we make the wrong choice, that we’re hurting ourselves. If that isn’t self-sabotage, I don’t know what is.

What we need to understand is that part of us that resists doing what is best for us, is the part that needs the most help and healing — and our love.

I sure don’t have all the answers to something like this — I only know that we’re guilty of it. I do believe that once we realize that when we make the choices that work against us, we can get to the place where we can start to turn it around. We can say to ourselves, “We’re doing a lousy job of taking care of ourselves!” Once we reach that point of being completely honest with ourselves, and admitting that we’re deliberately making the wrong choices, then we can start the healing process. Put it out there where we can see it. Take the power it has over us and expose it for what it is. That’s the quickest way to dispel that power.

Journal about it. Mediate about it. Talk to a trusted friend or partner about it. Once that desire to make the wrong decisions is out in the open and in the light, we can see the path to being healthy much more clearly. Soon, the power of healthy decisions will take over and we’ll be on the road to wellness.

Here’s to making good decisions!
