All the Academy Awards nominees for Best Actress have given outstanding performances… on the surface. They spoke their lines believably, developed an interesting character, got the voice, the walk, the look. Perhaps most extraordinary, these superb actors received direction with enough objectivity to improve a character's portrayal, rather than destroying it.

No wonder the Oscar nominees are so greatly admired. Yet only a tiny minority of them have gone all the way, changing their CHAKRAS. The takes the greatest talent, and a rare kind of courage.

What does it mean to shift that deep, playing a part? Nothing within you feels the same. Imagine a length of beige cloth that you are dying green. Most people would be satisfied with a cloth that looks green. But you will not be satisfied with some simple dunk in the vat. You find a way to do the ultimate transformation. Consequently, the cloth changes so completely that if you held the most powerful microscope in the world up that cloth, the most minute fibers would glow bright green.

Root chakra -- How her personality projects when she enters a room

As herself: Powerful, inwardly strong, physically lean and muscular, clever, derives a certain satisfaction from playing the trickster on occasion. Unabashedly a real character in her personal life, Judi Dench has star temperament. To put it bluntly, she appears to have quite a temper.

In the movie: She's mainly angry, even bitchy, and dangerous. Yet (and here the choice of the dramatic artist really shows well) Dench has invested this character with an uncommonly intense charisma, glittery and elusive. Developing this fascinating charm has involved a complete change of aura.

Sex chakra -- What would she be like as a lover?

As herself: Huge sex appeal, Judi has the androgynous vibration common to many of the most successful actors, meaning that she can appeal to a wide range of viewers. As a lover, she's unpredictable, never content for boredom. In general, she is a highly creative person who stays alive inside by demanding interesting company.

In the movie: This character is demanding, sex-starved, confused about what she really wants, slightly ashamed of herself. Somehow (again, as an artistic choice) Dench makes this character weirdly appealing, so that regardless of the viewer's sexual orientation or usual favorite type of sex object, the sexual pull is absolutely riveting. This character's sexuality may arouse or frighten or simply fascinate the viewer, but it will have impact for anyone who has gone through puberty. A complete change of aura.

Solar plexus chakra -- Handling power, what is her pattern at the time of the photo?

As herself: Emotionally and spiritually, Dench is fearless. Power suits her, and she has become very comfortable with her high-energy, intense power style. It isn't about personal ego. She simply has circuits that make her light up larger than life.

In the movie: Sad, powerful, spiteful, inwardly empty—this character couldn't be more different from Judi Dench. A complete change of aura.

Heart chakra -- How does she handle emotions?

As herself: Loyal, she has a long memory for all her emotional experiences. I wouldn't want to lose her respect, because forgiveness isn't the strongest personal characteristic. A quick temper is directly linked to her passionate nature.

In the movie: Longing intensifies a kind of frustrated romanticism. I contrast to the real Judi Dench, this character doesn't find a lot of alternatives, so she will pursue a difficult relationship with dogged persistence; the actress would not be reduced to suffering in her personal life. She'd fight and leave. A radical change of aura.

Communication chakra -- Truthfulness? Talent? What shows here?

As herself: Truthfulness isn't a problem. Lack of talent isn't, either. Her magnificent gift includes the ability to hold an audience, of any size, right in the palm of her hand. Beyond this, she has a particularly rare ability to send her message directly into the SOUL of the audience. You will be moved and shaken by her performances, particularly if you are either empathic by nature or physically in her presence, sitting right there, magnetically adjusted as you sit in your chair in the theater. This talent to transform would make Judi Dench a world class performer even if she couldn't act much.

In the movie: This character has done a lot of hiding about who she really is, hiding from herself as well as from others. She's not especially good at speaking up for herself either, hampered in part by holding onto a lot of jumbled up emotions. Instead, she simmers. She broods. Again, this role couldn't be a bigger change of aura.

Spirituality chakra -- How does she connect to God?

As herself: Huge spirituality is there, along with great purity, and a clear contact with the Divine. It's refreshing that someone so spiritually in touch can carry the kind of temper previously noted at her heart and root chakras.

In the movie: Alas, the character's third eye is shrunk down to a state of misery. Occasional glimpses of the Dench twinkle show through. Nevertheless, I'd count this as a nearly perfect change of aura.

Soul expression chakra -- Deep down, how does the person feel as a human being?

As herself: Tough as nails and delicate as gossamer, Judi Dench is magnificently expressive. Oddball though she is, with a really wild sense of humor, she has learned to accept herself fully. This makes her the best role model of any of this years Oscar-nominated Best Actresses and Best Actors.

In the movie: No soul expression shows significantly, and in this regard Judi is portraying the plight of the majority of people now living on earth. Anyone could have this set right, but most good people are so busy being dutiful we don't even notice when we have forgotten to also be inwardly (and vibrantly) alive. Definitely a change of aura.

Summary:  I love it when actors with extraordinary communication talent portray characters who can't speak up for themselves.

Most people live this way to some degree, far more interesting in WHO they are than by HOW they present themselves to others. And this becomes part of a brilliantly conceived role for Dench because she simultaneously invests the character with energetic glamour and sexual fascination. If possible, Dench's dazzling concept is exceeded by the brilliance of its execution.
