Heal: o poder da mente

Now similar to another documentary this tells us there is one powerful weapon we seldomly use: the power of will. The power to imagine something and to make it come true through sheer will and the power of ... well positive energy I reckon. Do you believe in it? Or is sarcasm winning over? Now I personally think there is truth to it.

And the same is true for all those people affected in this documentary. It doesn't mean that all is well as long as you think positive, but it is one step in the right direction. There is more we don't know yet, about many things, so why not go for some positivity. And if you take anything away from this (there is even an actress in this, you may recognize from a former hit TV show), hopefully it is something positive

I see what people are saying, but try to ignore the selfie stuff & focus on the healers. There are some life-altering messages here from some of the greatest sources alive. Hollyweird is a strange blend of botox & wheatgrass; that gestalt doesn't even seem weird there anymore... don't let the b-roll fluff distract you from the underlying message. Yes, the film should've been cut in half rather than have a hostess repeating/translating, but the message is well worth your time.

The full realization of the human psyche's degree of plasticity, together with the deepened understanding of its extraordinary malleability, adaptability and resilience;

together with

the introduction of the concept positing that by re-arranging one's mental make-up and by re-directing one's frame of mind's accent and focus, one could acquire the capability to transform, re-shape and, by doing so, drastically improve one's existential well-being - i.e. financial and social circumstances,

is among the few MOST UNDERVALUED AND UNDERRATED scientific breakthroughs in human history.\

This documentary could give you the perspective why that might be, as it did for me.

What started as an overview of alternative therapies to diseases conventional medicine doesn't have an acceptable solution ended ... with no conclusion. Two severely ill cases are presented throughout the whole movie, alongside their therapeutic journey encompassing a wide array of alternative therapies. Yet only one of them is followed until the end of the disease, the other one being somehow lost in the eternal dilemma of choosing between harmful on long term conventional therapies and insufficiently proved unconventional ones.

Also quite bizzarre "match" between the lifestyle that some characters pretend to have ( yoga, ayurveda, meditation - which should balance and put one in deep connection to the real self), and their unnatural look ( obvious plastic surgery, underweight, hair dying in men, elegant hairdos etc).

Basically the movie just touches very sensitive areas of therapeutics without showing you clearly solved cases. It left me in an overall impression of shallowness.

Too bad. The topic deserves a better approach.

There's a lot of negative reviews from people discrediting the information provided, or claiming the individuals interviewed are just trying to sell their book or knowledge. If only these people realized that the pharmaceutical industry is driven by profit. Now, I'm not saying Western medicine is wrong. There is a certainly a place for it, and it has certainly saved lives. But these alternative remedies cannot be ignored. Nothing is more powerful than the mind, and this documentary is just trying to explain the miracles our bodies can perform. As someone with a chronic health condition, I have relied on Western medicine at times of crisis. However, living everyday focusing on nutrition and positive mindful practices is what truly allows me to heal. I urge everyone to absorb this with an open mind and an open heart. Much of these practices can be performed at no cost to you, and there are some really amazing people working in the fields of alternative medicine.
