Reviews on Encounter With Sacred Space
"There's an exciting new trend, small right now, but a
harbinger of the future. This trend is "spiritual entertainment." We
saw the first inklings with Mark Age's OTC videos, where the talk show format
is elevated to a spiritual level. Now we have an offering from Spirit Heart
Sanctuary but of a slightly different format. It is entertainment
"plus." The viewer is taken on a meditative journey into
"inner space" -- sacred space. The images are beautiful. Some are
natural images --video footage shot at Zion Canyon, Utah. Some are Maia's
mystical paintings. There is music [CD quality]. There is higher level
thought. It all combines to create an uplifting overall experience.
We are all familiar with "road movies" and travel
movies. Generally, these depict a journey to some other "outer" --
physical destination. But this video takes us to an "inner
destination" -- our own true selves. In truth, this is the most
interesting and exciting journey there is.
But there is much more here that doesn't meet the eye. The
makers have designed this video in a spiritually scientific way. It's not just
a collection of beautiful images, thought and music. It is designed to
actually activate the chakras -- in a certain definite order. If you watch
this a few times [it needs a few viewing to really grasp what is going on
here] the viewer will know that "sacred space" is real.
When one watches this video we become aware of the vast power
and potential of this medium. Some Hollywood "flicks" use image,
sound and story to lower one's vibration, here the same techniques raise the
vibration. We see that technology per se, is not evil, but only the way it is
used. It can be used constructively as well as destructively. It is up to us.
I hope this trend toward spiritual entertainment continues. A
very healthy phenomenon.

"A first film effort for newbie spiritual film makers Simeon and Maia
Nartoomid. This film is meditative in nature and spiritual in genre. It relies
heavily upon the archetypal digital graphics which Maia Nartoomid has created
from her inner spiritual insights into the holographic akashic recording
crystals of the earth and beyond. The film is saturated with, and
radiates, spiritual energies which take the viewer into heightened states of
consciousness and awareness. This is achieved through a well-crafted montage
of these digital images complete with a well- coordinated music sound track
and inspiring poetic voice-overs. The graphics are interspersed with live
footage shot on location within the very sacred site of Zion Canyon, Utah -
the twelfth chakra in the planetary ascension temple matrix according to
Maia's inner planes spiritual mentor, Thoth. The film leaves one with an
indescribable feeling that would seem to be very transformational
indeed."

I have seen your video two times, and I want to watch it
again. It is a very heartfelt and beautiful montage of images and sounds. A
reflective, inspired meditation for people to use and receive high
vibrations....I was truly entranced and remembering from some of the pyramids
and landscapes created from your art. I have been there.

The video is wonderful. I play it every night now before going to bed and I
was a bit scared of spacing away, but the opposite thing: right away I felt my
body and the energy When I put the video on and heard the native flute, I felt
such a home-coming. A feeling, I was looking and waiting for, a confirmation
or a kind of something I feel on the inside and could not really find in the
world around me. So good to feel!...The whole video, how it is built, makes
that I go and flow totally with it without thinking from one image into the
other. Being One with the music, your voices, and all the sounds and tones on
all level of my being...I liked by the way, to see the face of Maia and her
voice ,her vibration is so subtle, and every time I see that red monk, I
think: that's Simeon! Very dear.
