The Shift Happens
I was so excited to leave one of the seminars early, grab lunch and settle in the front for the viewing of the movie, The Shift.
In the movie we are shifted to a scene of a mother of two energetic boys. She scurries around taking care of everything for the family: cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping, cooking, bills, planning functions, in other words she takes care of everything personal for the family. Does this sound familiar? The scene is building up to a family vacation at the beach. During a hike to the ocean the mother finds herself straggling behind as she breathes in all the beauty of her surroundings; the path that she walks, the leaves, the trees, the air that she breathes, and then there it is; a beautiful scene of the ocean in the distance. She can picture herself sketching everything that she sees and wonders what it would have been like if she followed her dream of painting. Dad and the boys then realize that mom is not with them, they go back to find her in her bliss. When she tells them what she is imagining the boys say, “You don’t do that mommy, we never see you draw.” I could just feel this woman’s heart chattering right there amongst all the beauty of nature. In a later scene Wayne Dyer is sitting next to this same family and has a conversation with the mother. During this conversation she makes a shift; you can see it in her expression, and in her body language. Almost like a light bulb was hovering over her head. She then realizes that she needs to take more time for self, not give in to others, let go of the mother warrior within, and just be. I can definitely relate to this mother, as I too have been making this SHIFT with family.
In another scene, we have a married couple, the husband is the owner of a well-established company and the wife has everything she needs, or does she? He is leaving for a business meeting and the wife decides she is coming along too. They have a little spat about how he thinks she will not enjoy the so-called “camping facilities” as she tugs along her huge suitcases while clothed in her designer gear including heels for a weekend trip. This couple is like a piece of thread getting ready to break. They snarl at each other at every moment and look to outer physical objects for comfort. During a meal she springs on the true reason for her attendance and he’s not a happy camper however I’m clapping as I see the wine fly across the table. Again, I can so relate to this scene! The husband wanders around to meet a homeless man that is filled with happiness. This is when he realizes "The Shift" and finds his way back to inner peace. It’s a true beginning for this soul but it’s a step that changes his life forever.
During the entire storyline we are all shifted to see the other side of movie making. Even the camera crew is drawn into “The Shift”. Throughout the film we see the interconnectedness of how everyone flows through the ebb and flow of life making “The Shift”. It’s not always pretty and well it can be a little heart wrenching as we make our connections to those within the film but in the end we understand that when we do make "The Shift" Shift really does happen!

Quoted from www.dyermovie.com
The Shift explores the interwined lives of an overachieving businessman (played by Edward Ker), a mother of two young children seeking her own expression in the world (Shannon Sturges), and a film director trying to make a name for himself (Michael DeLuise). Also starring Portia de Rossi. The Shift not only inspires, but teaches us how to find the path to our spiritual purpose and therefore our greatest joy.
"I am 68 years old and I have a new career," Dyer explained. "When I was asked to do this film, I didn't think 'I'm too old to do something I've never done before.' I thought 'I am open to everything. I am willing to change and to learn.' I'm more proud of this film than of anything I've ever done before."
"Thoroughly unprepared, we take the step into the afternoon of life. Worse still, we take this step with the false presupposition that our truths and our ideals will serve us as hitherto. But we cannot life the afternoon of life according to the program of life's morning, for what was great in the morning will be little at evening and what in the morning was true, at evening will have become a lie." - Carl Gustav Jung
