2. The Unmistakable Touch of Grace
Avg.
Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: In The Unmistakable Touch of Grace, bestselling author Cheryl Richardson (Take Time for Your Life and Life Makeovers) moves away from advice about tangible topics, and shares with readers her twenty-year journey of discovery about how the benevolent energy of the Universe, which she calls "the unmistakable grace" works to shape our lives and guide us towards our ultimate spiritual destiny. According to Richardson, there is a Higher Power that has our best interest at heart and uses grace to guide us to better understand the Divine Plan. The goal of this book is to help readers become more aware of how grace touches their lives, and to teach them to be able to better recognize the touch of grace and to surrender to it so that "the right doors will open to support you in fulfilling tour life’s purpose."
There are no coincidences, Richardson writes. Everything and everyone we experience comes into our lives for a reason and are blessings in disguise. Understanding those reasons and viewing life from a spiritual perspective is at the heart of her message. In addition to revealing personal examples from her own life, Richardson shares many other stories to reveal how grace can make dramatic, positive differences in our lives once it is perceived and surrendered to. To aid the reader in those steps, Richardson provides a wealth of exercises at the end of each chapter. She calls such exercises experiments, and encourages readers to perform them with others so that everyone involved can witness their dramatic effects on each other. She also provides additional resources that readers can use to further their self-discovery.
3. Anatomy of the Spirit: The Seven Stages of Power and Healing
Avg.
Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: Anatomy of the Spirit is the boldest presentation to date of energy medicine by one of its premier practitioners, internationally acclaimed medical intuitive Caroline Myss. Based on fifteen years of research into energy medicine, Dr. Myss's work shows how every illness corresponds to a pattern of emotional and psychological stresses, beliefs, and attitudes that have influenced corresponding areas of the human body.
Anatomy of the Spirit also presents Dr. Myss's breakthrough model of the body's seven centers of spiritual and physical power, in which she synthesizes the ancient wisdom of three spiritual traditions--the Hindu chakras, the Christian sacraments, and the Kabbalah's Tree of Life--to demonstrate the seven stages through which everyone must pass in the search for higher consciousness and spiritual maturity. With this model, Dr. Myss shows how you can develop your own latent powers of intuition as you simultaneously cultivate your personal power and spiritual growth.
By teaching you to see your body and spirit in a new way, Anatomy of the Spirit provides you with the tools for spiritual maturity and physical wholeness that will change your life.
1. Music for Yoga and Other Joys
Original Release Date: 2004
Avg. Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: Music for yoga is such a cliché that you could slap that moniker on a Barry Manilow CD and have it sold as a soundtrack for Downward Facing Dog pose. Yoga music has become a made-to-order commodity, and rarely attains the level of art. The title Music for Yoga and Other Joys doesn't bode well, but then, it has Jai Uttal, a veteran of world fusion going back 15 years and a devotee of kirtan singing teaming up with multi-instrumentalist Ben Leinbach for a series of extended improvisations. Leinbach creates a shifting back drop of chilled, Indian-derived grooves and textures like liquid mercury dipped in a fractal swirl. It's a perfect modal backdrop for Uttal, who improvises freely on an Indian stringed instrument called the dotar, electric guitar, and even banjo. Pieces like the 26-minute "Govinda" extend in a free fall until a rhythm loop drops in. Uttal swaps to a fuzzed out electric guitar solo that eventually merges into an improvised kirtan, his voice coiling in note-bending spirals like soul singing from the east. This may be music for yoga, but it's the other joys that will keep you coming back.

From Amazon.com: This ex-Dead Can Dance member imparts her own mixture of the ethereal, the worldly, the emotionally abstract and the purely beautiful to all of her projects. She's been universally recognized and acclaimed for her body of work, received a Golden Globe and was Oscar-nominated for the Gladiator soundtrack. She has also worked on such high profile movies as Ali and The Insider. This release is a soundtrack for the New Zealand indie film Whale Rider, already the biggest grossing film in New Zealand ever. Gerrard's music, combined with the motion picture, provides an experience of profound power and spiritual enlightenment.

From Amazon.com: These days, it seems that anyone can record a R&B album. However, recording a soul album takes that special something…that intangible element. Joss Stone has it. The 17-year-old Devon, England native first proved that with The Soul Sessions, a collection of rare soul grooves. She does it here again with Mind, Body & Soul, her first album of original material.
For those who thought that Stone could only interpret vintage ballads, witness the midtempo attitude of "Jet Lag." Backed by a thumping backbeat, Stone tells of a love of so all-encompassing that it is physically draining. On lead single, "You Had Me," Stone takes the persona of a woman done wrong with biting edge. A funky wah-wah guitar introduces her "get lost" sentiment over an infectious hook.
Mind, Body & Soul also features a host of moving ballads that are reminiscent of The Soul Sessions' more downtempo fare. The choir-backed "Security" is an organ-touched tale of love and support in the wake of tragedy. "Spoiled," a song Stone wrote with the legendary Lamont and Beau Dozier of Dozier-Holland-Dozier, is a romantically lush offering in which Stone's alto caresses the piano-driven arrangement. Other Mind, Body & Soul highlights include the hypnotic "Snakes & Ladders" and the roots reggae vibe of "Less Is More." While The Soul Sessions introduced Stone to the world, this album will make her undeniable.
1. Alice
(1990) ~ DVD
Avg. Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: In her best and most rounded screen performance to date, Mia Farrow plays Alice, a wealthy and pampered New Yorker who lives on the upper East Side with her stockbroker husband Doug (William Hurt) and their two children. Despite the ministrations of a housekeeper, a cook, a nanny, and a personal trainer, Alice is troubled by back pains. She takes the advice of a friend and goes to see Dr. Yang (Keye Luke), a chain-smoking Chinatown doctor who practices acupuncture and herbal medicine. He quickly and wisely realizes that her troubles are not physical but psychological. Alice, you see, is a lapsed Catholic who has lost touch with her feelings and spiritual impulses.
Dr. Yang gives her a series of herbal potions that magically enable her to begin a journey of self-discovery. One of them transforms her from a shy wife of 16 years into a seductress who whispers erotic suggestions in the ear of Joe (Joe Mantegna), a divorced father she meets at her children's school. Another potion summons the ghost of her first love (Alec Baldwin) who whisks her off for a flight over Manhattan and a review of her romantic history. A third enables her to become invisible and witness her husband's infidelity and hear some female friends' true opinions of her.
In the end, Alice reconnects with the spirituality of her childhood and the need to sacrifice self in service of others. While many critics have made light of this turn at the end of the film, it will seem perfectly natural to those who have come face-to-face with the emptiness of their lives and the splits between mind, body, and soul.
2. What the Bleep Do We Know?!
(1991) ~ DVD
Avg.
Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: The unlikeliest cult hit of 2004 was What the Bleep Do We Know?!, a lecture on mysticism and science mixed into a sort-of narrative. Marlee Matlin stars in the dramatic thread, about a sourpuss photographer who begins to question her perceptions. Interviews with quantum physics experts and New Age authors are cut into this story, offering a vaguely convincing (and certainly mind-provoking) theory about... well, actually, it sounds a lot like The Power of Positive Thinking, when you get down to it. Talking heads (not identified until film's end) include JZ Knight, who appears in the movie channeling Ramtha, the ancient sage she claims communicates through her (other speakers are also associated with Knight's organization). What she says actually makes pretty good common sense--Ramtha's wiggier notions are not included--and would be easy to accept were it not being credited to a 35,000-year-old mystic from Atlantis.
(1997) ~ DVD
Avg. Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: If it hadn't been for Brad Pitt signing on to play the lead role of obsessive Austrian mountain climber Heinrich Harrer, there's a good chance this lavish $70 million film would not have been made. It was one of two films from 1997 (the other being Martin Scorsese's exquisite Kundun) to view the turmoil between China and Tibet through the eyes of the young Dalai Lama. But with Pitt onboard, this adaptation of Harrer's acclaimed book focuses more on Harrer, a Nazi party member whose life was changed by his experiences in Tibet with the Dalai Lama. Having survived a treacherous climb on the challenging peak of Nanga Parbat and a stint in a British POW camp, Harrer and climbing guide Peter Aufschnaiter (nicely played by David Thewlis) arrive at the Tibetan city of Lhasa, where the 14-year-old Dalai Lama lives as ruler of Tibet. Their stay is longer than either could have expected (the "seven years" of the title), and their lives are forever transformed by their proximity to the Tibetan leader and the peaceful ways of the Buddhist people. China looms over the land as a constant invasive threat, but Seven Years in Tibet is more concerned with viewing Tibetan history through the eyes of a visitor. The film is filled with stunning images and delightful moments of discovery and soothing, lighthearted spirituality, and although he is somewhat miscast, Pitt brings the requisite integrity to his central role. What's missing here is a greater understanding of the young Dalai Lama and the culture of Tibet. Whereas Kundun tells its story purely from the Dalai Lama's point of view, Seven Years in Tibet is essentially an outsider's tale. The result is the feeling that only part of the story's been told here--or maybe just the wrong story. But Harrer's memoir is moving and heartfelt, and director Jean-Jacques Annaud has effectively captured both sincerity and splendor in this flawed but worthwhile film. | ||||||||
