MOVIES
For watching movies, I always recommend that they be in the original language with subtitles. Then the greatest effect is achieved.
Also, to make it as a small ritual. Something special.
Take your time, get comfortable and let go. You can also prepare a piece of paper and a pen and after the movie is over, calm down for a moment, close your eyes and think about the movie you just watched. To feel how he affected you, what feelings he awakened, whether you identified with any of the heroes and if so why, what made you angry, surprised, scared or delighted the most.
The information you get in this way is valuable, because it is exactly getting to know yourself from a deeper, more meditative state.
The wisdom of trauma
Documentary film: Gabor Mate emphasized with his work the importance of traumatic experience and our experiences related to it. How it remains imprinted in our bodies, how it struggles to come to light and to face it despite the pain. How can we turn those experiences into opportunities for development and growth. Mate is one of my favorite teachers. I love his humility, depth, understanding of the human soul and sincere desire to bring healing into our reality.
Don’t worry, he won’t get far on foot
A very strong story and a perfect representation of alcohol addiction, falling through it, reaching rock bottom and coming back to yourself, beauty, love and light. One of those films where questioning is inevitable as well as the question of human strength to overcome the most difficult trials.
I feel better, orig. fr. Je vais mieux
A French film, full of jokes and a perfect presentation of psychosomatic problems:
Raymond & Ray
A film about pain, betrayal, abuse within the family and dealing with painful experiences in adulthood. The consequences we suffer and the patterns we carry with us all our lives are part of the family drama that sometimes needs resolution.
Revolutionary Road
The status of women in the American family and society in the middle of the last century. Betrayed dreams and the idea of love. Role playing and letting the elements play. Desires and reality.
