I really enjoyed this down-to-earth and touching documentary. Life can seem so chaotic and impossible to understand, but there is hope for humanity. A Mindfull Choice points to a way for all of us to find peace, and to really live a rich and fulfilling life, no matter what our personal circumstances. Some fascinating personal stories and a no-nosense message. Thank you.

Two modern day monks meet a diverse range of people making a choice for a better life through meditation. Ballet dancers and writers, stressed business people, a cancer patient, foster children and maximum-security prisoners; their stories show peace is possible for individuals and communities - and suggests it may be possible for all of humanity. Stunning cinematography combined with the power of people sharing from a place of profound peace delivers a palpable and moving experience.

A film that gives us hope.
The Bright Path is a cult- steer clear of Ishaya monks and ascension.
Dont fall for the word salad The Bright Path is cashing in on the trend for meditiation and using vulnerable people to grow its cult. They recruit people to do meditation and will charm the pants off you but it is not truth. They are manipulative. Mindfulness meditation works so look into that or cognitive behavioural therapy if you are stuggling. Talk to a real qualified expert. Ishaya monks peddle half truths and gaslight people into believing their real and navigable problems can be solved by purely meditation. A dangerous way of avoiding working through legitimate issues and potentially mentally damaging for vulnerable people. Avoid avoid avoid this cult.
Just one big add for The Bright Path
This movies consists of beautiful nature scenes and nice looking people with interesting story about how Ishay meditation/Ascension saved or changed their lives. The whole time I was waiting for the techniques to be explained, to hear more about it, but it wasn't. It felt like one big commercial. At my screening there were 2 Ishaya monks and they handed out flyers. The website listed on that flyer brings you to The Bright Path website and still doesn't give information about what it's all about, it just sells their courses. And they're expensive! I don't like paying for commercials. So this was a waste of money.
