The Brain That Changes Itself (2008)
DESCRIPTION: This documentary is pivotal in understanding how to recover from a Spinal Cord Injury and other neurological related injuries. Norman Doidge, M.D. talks about the concept of Neuroplasticity. This encapsulates brain’s ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections after an injury. Neuroplasticity allows the neurons (nerve cells) in the brain to compensate for injury and disease and to adjust their activities in response to new situations or to changes in their environment. The power the brain has to remap itself after an injury if provided the stimulus is astounding. This documentary and Dr. Doidge’s work will open up your mind to the possibilities that lay before you.

In Search of Balance (2016)
DESCRIPTION: This is an amazing documentary that talks about the importance of food and what we put into our bodies.

HEAL (2017)
DESCRIPTION: This is a documentary talking about the body’s ability to heal through thought alone. That our thoughts influence the chemical reactions in our body that support our immune system. When we are in love, we release oxytocin, the love chemical. When we are happy and feel fulfilled, we release serotonin. When we complete tasks and accomplish things, we release dopamine. It’s along those lines that this documentary talks about how important it is for us to have sound mental health and do the the things that allow our belief systems to support us in a positive manner.

The Earthing Movie (2019)
DESCRIPTION: This is a documentary that talks about the Earth’s natural 7.83hz energy, otherwise known as the Schumann frequency, that we absorb when our bare skin touches the dirt, soil, sand, the earth. It absorbs through our body and has an effect on regulating certain body systems and realigning our energy to be in a more natural and beneficial state. We have come accustomed to wearing shoes on our feet with rubber soles that block our ability to absorb this natural energy from the earth. Incredibly interesting. I have several Earthing products throughout my house to keep me grounded at all times. It’s been incredibly beneficial for me. I’m not affiliated with the Earthing company, I have no financial interest. I just use their products because they’re really great.
