In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

I shall start by saying that for decades I've supported some aspects of alternative medicine - naturopathic, herbal, etc. Also, I am one of the original members of what is one of the first and is now one of the largest natural, organic, locally grown food cooperatives. So, several problems with this doc's presentation. The doc's premises are largely that Eastern (i.e. Asian from some un-described point in history) coexists with something called energy (which of course is given many forms & sources) all in opposition to Western or science based medicine & thought. Additionally that emotions, stress create densities in our bodies that are bad such as cancer, fibromyalgia, Crohn's, migraines, depression, anxiety, chronic pain, etc. Thoughts & emotions produce illness, disease & consequently death. So by mediation, diet, emotion/thought you can control (i.e. cure) the above. You do so by tapping into an invisible power/intelligence that made us and thus can heal us. To support all this the evidence (and basically only evidence) is a few interviews of people who survived. What we don't get are the statistics of how many of the hundreds of thousands or millions w/similar issues that didn't live. Probability says that some will survive outside Western science for any of a number of reasons including unique genetics or reversals that just happen. The fact is that science based medicine has doubled the life spans of peoples in comparison to those living in idyllic hundreds or thousands of years ago peoples. Yes, thoughts & emotions do affect health, but what is presented here is exaggerated & grossly irresponsible. I also question the objectivity of the over whelming majority of speakers in this presentation because they were authors who happen to make money off of selling an idea.

Everyone should see this movie to understand the power their body has to heal and to learn about options that are available to healing in addition or instead of allopathic treatments.

I accidentally came across the movie last week and watched with an open mind and WOW. Imagine someone saying something to you that is so simple, yet so profound and impact-full that your life changes FOREVER. I am compelled by this movie to dive deep into practicing changing my thoughts. The movie has to do with healing ourselves and the possibilities we have just by changing out thoughts. If you are seeing this review, my gift to you is to watch this movie that Kelly and so many others have pour their hearts into and it is truly a gift.Go visit their website and FB. I watched Peter Crone on a FB Live with Kelly and it was extraordinary.Here's the deal...I am not even sick, well not that I know of, yet I am compelled and moved by this movie. Maybe because I am ill and just don't know it yet and/or it was so I could share the movies with others who might be. Regardless, I am (and you will be too) full of gratitude and appreciation for this movie.Thank you Kelly and all the people who made this movie happen.

Greetings again from the darkness. Self-healing has been done in many futuristic and science fiction films, and in the recent BLADE RUNNER 2049 we watched Ryan Gosling instantaneously recover from severe wounds. Of course, most of us aren't replicants, so we follow along with what our doctors typically do … treat the symptoms rather than the cause. Director Kelly Noonan Gores explores the theory that our bodies are quite capable of self-healing even when serious disease is involved.The Mind-Body connection is explored through case studies and interviews. It's the intersection of science and the spiritual that forms the basis of the thoughts from experts such as Deepak Chopra (who seems to be in every other documentary these days), Marianne Williamson, Anita Moorjani, Bruce Lipton, Michael Beckwith and others. They subscribe to the notion that your thoughts, beliefs and emotions directly affect your health. Change your perspective and it allows your body to heal itself. We've always believed that illness is inevitable, but maybe it's time to question this.It seems logical, and has been proved, that we can activate our immune system through a regimen of exercise, nutrition, and supplements. The film covers this and more, including stem cell research, alternative treatments, and the use of healers – holistic energy for chronic pain and disease. As we would expect, the effects of stress are key to any film or study on healing. It's a known evil and the depth of its impact is only now beginning to be understood.There are some interesting discussions regarding "fight or flight" and "rest and repair", and the belief that toxins are affecting newborns. These toxins likely lead to future disease and are the key to finding the cause, as opposed to treating the symptom. Director Noonan-Gores follows at least three people on their journeys of discovery and healing, providing hope that self-healing may become a true path for many.
