Kindness Is Difficult Without Peace of Mind
How The Alignment Movie Process Supports A Better Life
Hi - I’m David Barnes, co-founder (with Sue-Anne MacGregor) of Peace of Mind Overtures. At the heart of my work is a straightforward idea: When people feel steady—clear, calm, and balanced—they naturally extend more kindness and become more available to connect, collaborate, and inspire others—and that ripple shows up in families, teams, and communities.
We built the Alignment Movie Process (AMP) to make inner work usable in real life. Instead of theory, we use familiar films and a simple structure to move from insight to action. When I work with individuals or teams, I provide an AMP film to watch—designed to help you experience a shift in the resonant patterns that keep you from what you truly desire. The approach is time-bounded and practical—built for real life—so anyone can apply it without adding overwhelm.
We offer AMP sessions for individuals, families, classrooms, and organizations, including versions for all ages. What could be easier than watching a film?
It’s hard to be human right now; the pace of change can knock anyone off center. AMP offers new tools for staying balanced and effective—one film, one small step, repeated.
Before Peace of Mind Overtures, I held leadership roles at Ford Motor Company and served in executive management at the Dallas Symphony Orchestra—experience that keeps my work focused on clear objectives and measurable outcomes. I’ve co-authored Taming Your Dragons and It’s Just Commerce, and I co-host the Peace Overtures podcast with Sue-Anne.

What Is The Alignment Movie Process (AMP)?
Emotional and belief patterns are often passed down through generations — but they can be changed.
When I work with individuals or teams, I provide an AMP film to watch, designed to help you experience a shift in the resonant patterns that keep you from what you truly desire.
If you’re willing to watch the AMP films I recommend, you’ll begin to feel a noticeable upgrade — a new sense of balance that’s recognizable and sustainable.
Watching an AMP film is a form of quantum-level healing. Deepak Chopra describes quantum healing this way:
“Our bodies ultimately are fields of information, intelligence and energy. Quantum healing involves a shift in the fields of energy information, so as to bring about a correction in an idea that has gone wrong.”
That’s exactly what AMP does.
Through resonance work, we help the body–mind system “shift the fields of energy information.” We became proxies for that change, energizing each AMP session with hundreds of specific intentions for anyone open to receiving the benefits.
We’ve refined this process for over 19 years, and the results continue to be profound.
These extraordinary times call for new tools to help us return to balance — tools that heal not through argument or ideology, but through awareness, compassion, and shared resonance. The Alignment Movie Process is one of those tools.
When one person shifts, it doesn’t stop there.
Each of us becomes a kind of lighthouse, radiating steadiness and clarity into our homes, workplaces, and communities. And as more lighthouses light up, the collective field of awareness grows brighter — making it easier for all of us to see, feel, and choose differently.
To learn more, listen to this podcast:
I’ll be including numerous AMP sessions here on my Substack page. You can also explore the Peace Overtures Radiopodcast — every episode features an AMP session. Through my Peace Overtures Today newsletter, I’ll regularly share new AMP films for you to experience firsthand.
Over these 19+ years, I’ve learned so much about love, money, relationships, leadership, and spirituality — all through the lens of movies. These films have led me to deeper empathy, understanding, and compassion for myself and others.
This work has made it easier to extend kindness, generosity, and goodwill — creating a positive feedback loop of peace and well-being.
I want that experience for you too..
