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.

Here are the offerings for May, 2008 ….

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.

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.

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.

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.

Thanks for letting me interrupt our regular weekly series. I’ll be back next week with our next article about meditation. Have a great week.

Be Well — and Be in Peace,

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.

Up on the Rope: Lucia wants to be with Oscar, but can she find a way to get to his level?

Place your order today. Just Click Here Today — or click the Spiritual Cinema Circle banner over in the left margin.

I’ll be back on Thursday with a regular article for this week. I hope you’ll take me up on this offer and see for yourself why I love these films so much.

“Fears are nothing more than a state of mind”

~~~ Napoleon Hill

Have you ever felt like you were really losing it? Or, better yet, have you ever gone through a period in your life where you had that, “I’ve completely lost any resemblance of the person I thought I was!” Not only did you lose “It” — you also lost “You”!

I know I have — on both those counts!

Here’s what we all need to be telling ourselves — “You Are Not Crazy!”

There probably isn’t one person reading this who doesn’t feel a little crazy from time to time. When we get into periods of high stress it’s only natural to feel like we’re losing it. This can also happen when we’re being surrounded by people whose values are quite different from our own. Think back to the times when you’ve lost a relationship that was significant. Or, how about any of those times when you’ve moved into an entirely different life situation. Did you feel a bit off kilter then? I’ll bet you did.

Let’s face it — when we’re here on this planet — in this life — we’re going to learn that “stuff” happens! And, when “stuff” happens it’s going to have some affect on our mental stability. Goofy things will start to occur — like having absolutely no idea where in the world you put the car keys — or — wondering if you’re seeing the same thing as others when everyone around you seems to see the world differently than you.

“Perfectionism is a dangerous state of mind in an imperfect world”

~~~ Robert Hillyer

What can we do to get through these times?

For most of us, the key to survival at times like these is to step back, take a few deep breaths, and regain our composure. Then we can decide what course of action to take.

Don’t hesitate to take a time out. If something in your life is making you feel out of it, take a day off from whatever is causing it. Just do something different than the norm. Read a book. Go to a movie. Invite some friends over. Sometimes, just talking with a good friend can help. I know that for me, meditation seems to help.

“The forgiving state of mind is a magnetic power for attracting good.”

~~~ Catherine Ponder

Most of the time, these “time-outs” will help us to see what it is about the situation that destabilizes us, and we can make changes from there. If you believe in things like spirit guides or you have a spiritual counselor, then ask them for guidance to bring you back to a state of mind where you can begin to make whatever changes are needed. You need to see your own goodness — you need to see that you are actually okay.

When you find yourself in that state of mind where you’re thinking you’ve gone crazy, just realize that this is nothing more than a wake-up call to let you know that something in your life is out of balance. Remind yourself that you are capable of living in a peaceful reality. Remember too, that most people have felt that they are losing it at some time or other in their lives.

You are a worthy person. You are not crazy. Just take a step or two back and see whatever is going on as being outside yourself. Then, make the choices you need to make to get your state of mind where you will be in balance once again.

“Put yourself in a state of mind where you say to yourself, “Here is an opportunity for you to celebrate like never before, my own power, my own ability to get myself to do whatever is necessary.”

~~~ Anthony Robbins

Namaste!

And, as I always say in closing — remember these words …

You are the most precious gift you can give yourself. Every day look in the mirror and say, “I’m available to more good than I have experienced, realized or imagined ever before in my life!” Do this every day while you look into your own eyes.

You are special — and you are loved. You are the greatest gift you can be.

Shanti … (A sanscrit word meaning, “Let there be Peace. Peace, beautiful Peace. Peace within, Peace without. Peace in this world. Peace for all beings.”)

“Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.”

~~~ Buddha
