Awakening Movies

A New Way to Watch Movies

David Hoffmeister says about awakening movies, “Spirit showed me techniques for watching movies in a new way—not as entertainment or escapism, but as a way in which people could allow intense emotions to arise for healing. When I hold movie gatherings, I don’t show movies straight through because they can trigger memories and emotions that have been repressed and denied. I pause the film when people have these intense emotions come up so that we can be present with whatever is arising for healing in the moment.

It’s important to realize that the subconscious has to come up. We welcome the feelings so that they can be released for healing, and a new perspective can come in. When invited, Spirit provides a safe presence for the subconscious to arise without any judgment. It is beautiful to join with people in this heart-to-heart way. That is one of my big messages. Awakening movies can open the mind to a more expansive awareness of our True Nature and Identity.”
