Has your inner glow been experiencing a brownout? Crank up the wattage with one of our Shining Out Movies and let your light out from under that bushel. Are you beginning to wonder if yours is the only soul in the universe that wasn't created as part of a matched pair? Curl up with one of our Finding Your Soul Mate Movies and learn to mix and match. Has your grudge gotten too heavy to bear? Take a load off with an Accepting Personal Responsibility Movie and learn to demand your fair share.

In our three previous Cinematherapy books, weve explored the ways that movies can put us in touch with our emotions, give us perspective on the issues that confront us in our daily lives, help us resolve conflicts, replenish our relationships, and grow from our life experiences without ever getting up off the couch except maybe to refill the popcorn bowl every once in a while. In CineinatheTapy for the Soul, we explore how movies can inspire, guide, and comfort us as we make our way along the path toward inner peace.

So whether you're paralyzed with anxiety over what the future will bring, or hungry to make a difference but not sure what you can do to change your corner of the world, the movies in this guide will offer you examples of heroes and heroines who face their fears, rise from the ashes, discover their talents, and find love, light, laughter, and serenity.

Complete with inspirational quotes, recipes to feed your spiritual hunger, self-pampering rituals to rekindle your joie de vivre, and cautions against junk food for the soul movies that lead us away from the light, CineinatheTapy for the Soul is guaranteed to help you discover the movies that will inspire, refresh, uplift, and reinvigorate your tired spirit and put you in touch with your authentic self, one movie at a time.

Has the shining city a brownout? Have the lights in your personal display window been suddenly extinguished, leaving your best merchandise in the dark? We all have those days when we feel marked down for clearance. But don't worry, all it takes to inflate your value is a little self-appreciation and some regular downtime well spent with some of these Shining Out Movies, featuring heroes and heroines who take their moment front and center in the display case of life and demand what they're worth. They reassure us all that when we replace fear with love and let our light shine, we can name our price.
