Fast & Furious: Fast Five
Tonight, I watched a movie “Fast & Furious: Fast Five” in a theater. By chance I could watch it in 3D. It was so exciting! While watching, I felt calm, anxiety, excited, joyful, funny, thrilled and free. I understood the meaning of “almost all movies contain at least one of four universal stages of transformation” (Tav, 2009). I moved from the safe zone to the trapped zone, war zone and free zone… A movie lets us experience “death and rebirth.” I'm intrigued by "Movie Yoga", so I want to learn it more from the book.
Individual and Group Transformational Practice List (Chronological Order)
This list shows individual or group transformational exercises (various types of shadow works), which I learned from my class or my friend (study group) at JFKU. Before coming to America, I had a few shadow works such as 3-2-1 shadow work, but I experienced and learned many shadow works not only individual works but also group works. I appreciate my instructor and my friends. In the future, I’d like to share them in Japan.

Movie Yoga
Today, I practiced “Movie Yoga” with my friends. I’ve never heard “Movie Yoga” before. I was intrigued by it and it was fantastic for me! It’s a new kind of Yoga. However, the discussion between my friends was difficult to understand. A lot of unknown words were flooded into my mind, so I panicked… I’m used to face to face conversation in English little by little, but it may take more time to grasp the group conversation or discussion. I hope that I will enjoy a group dialogue soon.
Oh, I was sorry that I didn’t explain about “Movie Yoga.” Haha. Movie Yoga is put forward by Tav Sparks, which is a kind of transformational exercise watching a movie. The author said "Movie Yoga shows us how to celebrate the grand sweep of life in all its manifestations as being part of a great mystery and wholeness that we will always be moving toward. And to watch a hellava lot of movies while we’re at it."
