It can be very difficult to be kind to someone who has been unkind to you; to someone who has betrayed you, hurt you. And yet, there is a gift in being able to remember that the person who caused that hurt set up a dynamic that allowed you to reach inside, find the hurt, turn it around and find a productive lesson. There is a gift in being able to remember that love is not just in one place in our life, but in many places and the opportunity is in continuing to bestow our love, our care on those who will not take it for granted, but will value it, understand it, and return it.

David is the author of:
-
Focusing on a “target image” associated with a traumatic memory, the client is led through a step-by-step process of recalling scenes, emotions and physical sensations while receiving “bilateral stimulation” through guided eye movements, alternating sounds in headphones or alternately receiving squeezes, massaging rubs or taps on the left and right sides of the body. According to Grand, one-time traumas (car accidents, bombings, hurricanes) can be released in one session, even in a few minutes, while deeper disturbances (repeated child abuse, war experiences) may take longer and may involve additional methods of therapy. He provides compelling anecdotal evidence of EMDR’s effectiveness with train engineers traumatized by suicides and accidents on the tracks; survivors of the Oklahoma City bombing and Florida’s Hurricane Andrew; mothers of slain children in Brooklyn; residents of Northern Ireland, Bosnia, Israel and the occupied territories; survivors of child abuse; and professional actors and athletes.

Dr. David Grand produced a special audio CD to be used in conjunction with Ignite the Genius Within by Dr. Christine Ranck and Christopher Lee Nutter. The book is a revolutionary multimedia instrument that provides an experience of heightened self awareness never before delivered in a book. Following no chronological order, providing no doctrine to believe, starting off with the premise that the person who picks it up isn’t learning about anything but themselves, Ignite the Genius Within turns the conventions of creativity and spirituality on their heads. The Artist’s Way for The Matrix generation, Ignite the Genius Within takes creativity out of a realm exclusive to “artists”, and redefines it as the power each of us have to turn every moment of life into a beautiful work of art.

Where do you find your inspiration? Who are your heroes? Can you count yourself a hero in your own life?
Have you ever found yourself in love with someone who does not love you?
This is a painful place to ponder, for no matter how many people surround you in your life, on this wounded wayfare you are forced to wander alone.
Rejection.
Loss.
Hurt.
Pain.
And these rips and tears in the private papers holding the ruminative stanzas that define our inner self can leave us scattered and crumpled.
Love is a mystery.
Love is perhaps, the greatest mystery.
When love pours into us, we brim until we overflow with its airy elating lightness.
When love infuses our vision, the colors of our world reflect a surreal bright trueness.
Love is the story woven into our lives and the definer of our world.
Moreover, all we can do with this glorious mystery is rejoice when it enters our lives, even if it disappoints us.
It is a gift given to us, in whatever form it comes to be ours.
Whether offered by us to another or offered to us from another.
Whether given to us or felt from within us.
For we can never, never forget, love is a gift and gifts are to be given.
So give. Give. Give. Give. Love.
And….receive, receive, receive…..LOVE.
Give it to the person who brought it to you, if only as an offer of ever kindness in your heart.
Now, give it to all the others who can benefit from your gift.
Your love is a gift for the world; please do not keep it to yourself.
Love does not have one purpose in you, or one person.
So reflect, be thankful and celebrate yourself. For you possess the warm heart and openness of spirit to embrace the love that moves within you.
You feel. You feel deeply. This is magnificent. You are magnificent.
Embrace the feelings of high that come with understanding that love came to live in you.
Hold this close in your heart and remember…..you do not choose love. It chooses you.
As Go Daddy founder Bob Parsons says in his Rules For Success, “We’re not here for a long time. We’re here for a good time!” There’s no place in your world that you go where you intend to spend eternity. Not even …here.
