Movies for Awakening!! Melanie Doyle and Michael Caruana share a movie session for healing with the Mudgee Living Miracles community. This is the synopsis to listen to before watching the movie, The Family Stone. Judgement, perfectionism, control and all things working together for good are main themes that can be seen clearly in this film.

Here's a review from David Hoffmeister's Movie Watcher's Guide to Enlightenment: The Stone family and their partners gather for Christmas and experience a profound undoing of pride and an opening of the heart.

To the family, Everett's partner Meredith seems difficult and uptight, and they don't understand why Everett is with her. They have no idea that her deep call for love and acceptance is his own. Only in laying aside judgment and “bringing the stranger in” can they open up to receiving the gift that Meredith offers. Through a series of incidents where it seems that everything is going wrong, a deep healing occurs. When the pressure of trying to be perfect finally cracks, what is underneath is allowed up for healing, and our natural light can finally shine through.

The Spirit is in charge of a truly miraculous plan for our happiness, and when we let go of control and allow the plan to be revealed, we can enjoy the ride. Love is recognized only through non-judgment and complete acceptance. Who we are is already perfect!

Enjoy and listen to the after movie talk!
