Conscious Movies

As part of my journey as a meditation and breathwork teacher, I recognize the profound impact that various forms of art and storytelling can have on our spiritual and personal development. While I may not always have the opportunity to connect with each of you individually, I want to share a curated selection of films that align with the deep work we do in meditation and breathwork.

Why Conscious Movies?

Movies can be powerful tools for reflection and growth. Each film on this list has been chosen for its ability to inspire, challenge, and support your journey towards greater self-awareness and enlightenment. These films cover a range of themes, from spiritual awakening to personal transformation, and are intended to complement and enhance the work we do together.

Explore the Selection

Below, you’ll find a selection of films that I believe offer valuable insights and perspectives. I encourage you to watch these movies and reflect on their messages as part of your ongoing practice.

“JNANI” serves as an initiation into Advaita vedenta philosophies in the light of the teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi. Rather than attempting to absorb all the content in a single sitting, encouragement is given to revisit the documentary over time, allowing the gradual assimilation of its substance. In doing so, deeper layers of understanding may be uncovered with each subsequent viewing.

Why is breathwork so effective?

Breathwork activates our inner healing system and nourishes our lives.

It’s a powerful process that uses breath to open, heal and integrate the multidimensional aspects of the subconscious mind.

Our breath is the bridge between the inner and outer aspects of life and is therefore unique in its ability to bring these into harmony.

This simple method is a powerful tool for healing and acts as a catalyst for other healing practices.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve participated in other breathwork sessions before, but this one was truly exceptional. Aravindan’s guidance and presence throughout the session made a profound difference. His calm, supportive energy created a safe space that allowed me to fully surrender to the process. What stood out the most was the deep state of bliss I reached—something I had never experienced before through breathwork. It felt transformative, almost like touching a higher level of awareness and peace. I’m incredibly grateful for the experience and highly recommend a session with Aravindan to anyone seeking a deeper connection with themselves through breathwork.

I attended Aravind‘s conscious connected breathwork session at Shivari and it was a beautiful experience in the middle of the jungle. The way he‘s holding space made and others feel really safe, enabling us to surrender fully in the present moment.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The session with Aravindan was absolutely fascinating. I didn’t know what to expect since I’ve never done breath work before. Aravindan gave a great introduction in the process of the following exercises, but also didn’t give away too much, so I remained open and unknown of what to expect. He facilitated the exercises by kindly encouraging me to stay on it and the session was supported by intense and really touching music. I lost completely track of time, space and self. I highly recommend to try out a breath work session with Aravindan.

Aravind radiates love and compassion, his gentle yet powerful energy was so supportive during my breathwork journey. I felt safe which allowed me to really let go and I found this journey powerful and enlightening to be honest my mind was blown and I can’t recommend Aravind enough, a special soul sharing his love and light unconditionally, his medicine is so very special, thank you Aravind !

I love Aravind, he has this calm presence and a deep smile that put you in a good mood for practice. I attended both still and dynamic meditation with him, and this was truly great. I really look forward to seeing him again if I come back to Koh Phangan.

"Each breath work sessions with Aravind is a powerful, unique experience. With his kind, gentle presence combined with thorough knowledge of the subject, everyone seem to feel safe and taken care of, open to all the emotions and sensations that appear during the session. I’m glad I allowed myself these experiences and I will definitely come back for more!

First time I have done breathwork. That was an interesting experience! You held such a good and safe atmosphere, thank you for opening this door for me!

Aravind is very knowledgeable and has a calm yet fun and friendly energy about him. He is super approachable and supportive of any struggles your facing during meditation. Good music tasted too when it came to the breathwork class!

“Gratitude has the power to transform our lives, to help us see the beauty in each moment and the blessings that surround us. Simply taking a moment to acknowledge what we are grateful for can make all the difference.” – Aravind
