Marion Cotillard And Piaf As Candidates For Energy Healing

When you think of Academy Awards, do you think "spiritual reading"? If not, why not? Until you're comfortable doing spiritual readings at will, how well can you use your full potential at doing Energy Healing ?

I have an annual custom of doing aura readings, comparing auras of top-nominated actors with their auras in roles; it's a great way to practice using deeper perception.

Anyone nominated for Best Actor or Actress has the technical skills down cold. The voice, the walk, the imagination, the ability to make a role seem spontaneous and real. But an intuitive reading can show you something even more fascinating. Who changes so deep, even the aura is altered? What happens deep within energy fields?

Auras combine changing experiences with gifts of the soul, components that usually don't change. But can a super talented actor change all the way down to that level? Some can.

This year, I have researched five ultra-revealing aura databanks on each nominee for Best Actress and Best Actor. Then I have used a photo of each nominee as herself or himself. For comparison, I have read those very same databanks on the actor or actress in the nominated movie role. In this article, we're reading the super-duper performance of la merveilleuse Marion.

Until you can do aura readings through a dedicated technique, try this short-cut. Look into the actor's eyes, in the photo being read. Then turn to the comments on one chakra at a time. Alternating this sequence, you can taste the flavor pretty strongly.

This is a kind of intuitive reading, a super-scaled-down version of one of my techniques for reading the soul through the eyes. You'll receive just about 10% of the clarity from doing bona fide aura readings, but it's fun. And it's a start.

However skilled you are so far with Energy Healing , whether you emphasize more your own healing or healing others, you know how important it is to be able to read energy fields. Who better to practice on than a film role that portrays the poster child for I NEED ENERGY HEALING, that great artist Edith Piaf?

This is the one biopic in this year's nominated performances for which a photo is available of the original character. That would be Edith Piaf, subject of "La Vie en Rose", played by French nominee Marion Cotillard.

Let's read Cotillard first, using this picture. www.selfgrowth.com

PRESENCE WHEN ENTERING A ROOM at the Root Chakra

Her big, intense, emotional presence has interesting qualities of being authoritative, demanding respect. And, of course, there's the Frenchly feminine factor.

SEX APPEAL at the Belly Chakra

Huge as this presence is, I find uncommon warmth mixed in with the more typical actress quality of "Hey, pay attention. Swivel your head."

HANDLING POWER IN TOUGH SITUATIONS at the Solar Plexus Chakra

Marion leads with her heart. That's how she finds her strength, and I can find plenty of growth in her life, unmistakable signs of struggle and learning . It is an impressive presence, blending great courage with an intrepid heart.

Emotional Connection to Other People at the Heart Chakra

Yes, she connects. Yes (like all of the actresses shown in this year's group of nominees), Marion is most definitely an empath. What strikes me most about her as an individual, at this databank, is the softness. Even in public, she allows her heart to be open softly to others. That gentleness shows that she has chosen, then learned, a great deal about how to trust.

SOUL DEVELOPMENT High Heart Chakra

Compassion is the signature quality of this super-evolved being, now having a super-duper lifetime.

EDITH PIAF

Now let's the same databanks on the real Edith Piaf, subject of "La Vie en Rose," shown in this photograph. www.selfgrowth.com Talk about someone who needs Energy Healing !!!!!!!!

PRESENCE WHEN ENTERING A ROOM at the Root Chakra

Love her or fear her, Piaf is a walking embodiment of pain. Picture someone so traumatized that she shouldn't be able to walk at all, yet she has regained the ability to move again. Most of this pain has, clearly, been emotional because Piaf is so heart-centered.

SEX APPEAL at the Belly Chakra

Ouchers! Piaf's energy cascades like a fountain… of heartbreak. She specializes in tragic romance. It isn't an especially huge display at this part of the great singer's aura. Still, the poignancy is so intense, listeners might not be able to handle any more of that kind of misery. Think "lonely." Think "abandoned." Think "loved and lost." Qualities like these form the subtext of Piaf's being and, therefore, her singing.

HANDLING POWER IN TOUGH SITUATIONS at the Solar Plexus Chakra

Power isn't huge, but again it's intense. Piaf's dynamic is to struggle a bit, trying to stick up for herself. But she's such a tragic figure, even to herself, that soon the struggle turns internal, even self-destructive.

EMOTIONAL CONNECTION TO OTHER PEOPLE at the Heart Chakra

The chanteusse reaches out valiantly and oh, how she does need people! Piaf has a huge, un-fillable void within. If you should crave to be needed, you will fall in love with this woman. And if you have ever felt that there never could be enough love in your life, you just might identify with this singer.

SOUL DEVELOPMENT at the High Heart Chakra

Edith Piaf has a gorgeously young-adult soul, specializing in romance and pain. Her ability to give 200% through her art is reminiscent of Marilyn Monroe.

MARION AS EDITH

Now for the performance by Marion playing Edith, as shown in this photo. www.selfgrowth.com

PRESENCE WHEN ENTERING A ROOM at the Root Chakra

Golly, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. The resemblance to Piaf is uncanny. This is the "Open up a vein" school of art.

SEX APPEAL at the Belly Chakra

Here's a cute cross between Piaf and Cotillard. The size of projection is way more like the film star, which means about five times bigger than anything managed by the singer. But the quality's drastically altered.

Instead of Cotillard's usually happy, free-spirited sexiness, I find an imploring "Love me" connection to her audience. This is way more fun to watch than the real singer's misery. Yet it does acknowledge the bottomless pit of Piaf's torment.

This performer's choice couldn't be smarter. Which kind of sex appeal would you rather watch for 10 seconds, let alone in a full-length movie?

HANDLING POWER IN TOUGH SITUATIONS at the Solar Plexus Chakra

Here comes the victim! Cotillard has made herself quite Piaf-like, only the actress hasn't managed to contort herself into as much a victim. Instead, there's a brittleness.

Not only does the quality impress me. I'm fascinated that the actress has dared (and managed) to compress her normal power to about one tenth of its normal size.

EMOTIONAL CONNECTION TO OTHER PEOPLE at the Heart Chakra

The match is perfect, only Marion has considerably more charisma… which, mes amis, is saying a lot.

SOUL DEVELOPMENT at the High Heart Chakra

Cotillard transformed herself into a younger soul, getting the soul age just right.

Total number of chakras dramatically changed: 5

CONCLUSION: This is a magnificent performance, with changes all the way down to all five databanks studied. Cotillard did an uncanny imitation of Edith Piaf, yet she has made some smart artistic choices to make the character more appealing.
