Dr. Christine Ranck is a best-selling author, trauma therapist, internet talk show host, speaker, and singer. She is co-author of Amazon #1 Bestseller, IGNITE THE GENIUS WITHIN, a powerful experiential, consciousness-expanding book that enhances your creativity, and gives you unexpected answers from within. Ignite's powerful elements get deep into your system to uncover and deliver the answers you need--that are already there--in order to make deep change and thrive in a drastically changing world.
Dr. Ranck is also a trauma therapist in New York City, who also specializes in creativity enhancement and problem solving. Using the latest, highly effective mind/body therapies, EMDR and Brainspotting, she saw results that astounded her, as her clients not only healed from trauma, but also made astonishing self-discoveries and were often stunningly transformed. She developed a burning desire to write a book that would bring those results to the general public, and assist readers in expanding their self-awareness and creative powers. Her book, Ignite the Genius Within, became an altogether new kind of book.
Dr Ranck's talk show, Get Ignited! a live, on-camera internet show powered by Yackit (www.ChristineRanck.Yackit.com), airs live every Wednesday night at 8:30 EST. Please join her and her weekly special guest, to talk about the brain, quantum physics, human consciousness, and other fascinating stuff. If you have a webcam, you can join the discussion on camera!
Christine's Get Ignited! talks and seminars, which she teaches all over the country, provide her audiences with the tools to apply expanded consciousness to their lives, and to access to deep brain processing that is the wave of the future for adapting to a drastically changing environment.
Ignite the Genius Within (book and workshops) are for you: 1) if you want to finally discover and resolve, once and for all, the blocks that stop you. 2) if you want an Epiphany, an answer from within, a solution to a problem, or internal guidance about a direction to move; and 3) if you want to be more creative. In this rapidly changing world, being creatively resilient is a necessity not a luxury.
Incorporating music performances, artwork, and multi-media elements into her seminars, Christine creates an exciting creative environment within which participants can experience the IGNITE process. Her humor, enthusiasm, and utter fascination with the science of human consciousness brings everyone in the audience with her—ultimately leaving participants certain of their own inner genius, as well as having tools for a radically new kind of thinking --using the deeper brain.

Before becoming a therapist, Christine was a professional singer/actress in Broadway shows and niteclubs all over the world. Her pop vocal trio, The Janes, still performs with orchestras internationally.
Dr. Ranck is co-founder of Trauma Freedom International, whose mission is to create a sustainable, culturally integrated global trauma relief network for trauma survivors, by creating locally trained sources to get survivors the emotional help they need in the fastest way possible.

Ignite the Genius Within: Everything you need is already there
You're already there. This is perhaps one of the greatest messages of all time. For we have taught ourselves that "happiness" or "paradise" is somewhere far from here, something we don't have and can't get to, no matter how much we want it, and no matter how hard we try. But if you've ever been depressed on a beautiful day or joyful on a rainy day, then you know that it is how we feel that determines what we see and how things look. The truth is that paradise is a thought, not a place.

***The Quantum Pigeon: You’re Already There
In New York City, we tend to think (affectionately) of pigeons as kind of dirty, irritating birds—-but no one can deny that they can fly like the wind. Pigeons are sort of like NYC itself—stinky, infuriating, but still soaring. But you should never underestimate a pigeon. Because a homing pigeon can be transported 500 miles from its home roost, and as soon as it’s released, it will fly straight back there. Pretty much no matter where or how far away from home they are. With very little hesitation.

Superb Book Sparks Creativity and Healing
Ignite the Genius Within is the first book of its type I have ever read. Ignite the Genius Within comes with an accompanying soundtrack designed to work with the book, help shutdown internal "chatter" and free your mind to focus on the images provided in the book. The soundtrack helps stimulate creativity, free thought and, at least in my case, free association. I assume it works the same way for others, as that is what the book and accompanying soundtrack is designed for.

***Your Genius Brain: There’s No There There
Science has come to an indisputable conclusion: Everything we perceive through our senses as exte al stuff (or matter)—like the coffee table, a bumble bee, the sidewalk, the mountains, your neighbor, the earth, the cosmos—is only electrical signals in our brain. That’s it. Electrical signals! We see a colorful bird in our exte al world. But it’s not out there, it’s in our brain.

***NEW YEAR, NEW YOU: A Little Perspective on Time Travel
As we are about to enter the second year of the second decade of the 21st century (where did the FIRST one go????), it is good to get a little perspective. For example, will radio DJs now exhort us to listen to the hits of the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and the “00s?” How will they say it? The “Zeroes?” These are the kinds of things I wonder about.

There's That White Rabbit Again
“Real” means the perceptions that most people agree on. From the moment we are born, we are taught that most of our perceptions are (and should be) the same as our neighbor’s. What we perceive as a street sign or an orangutan will most surely be agreed upon by the lady across the street! That agreement is called Consensus Reality (or CR for short). And we have also learned to worry that there might be something terribly WRONG if there is some disagreement with others about what we perceive. We keep quiet about our differences in perception.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Christine Ranck
IGNITE THE GENIUS WITHIN: Discover Your Full Potential (and thrive creatively in a drastically changing world)
We’re on the brink of the most extraordinary global changes in human history. Experts predict that in the next 10 years, technology will advance 80 times what it did in the entire 20th century. NO ONE knows what this new world will look like. Responding creatively and fearlessly to these challenges will mean everything for our personal and collective future.
We are all geniuses of creation, adaptation, and survival. Composed of light, we each contain the limitlessness of the entire universe inside of us. The human brain is the most complex object in the known universe, with one quadrillion connections. It can examine its consciousness using its own consciousness. It is possible for us to travel to the furthest reaches of the cosmos, and change our brain’s very anatomy, just by using our imagination. Yet we currently only make use of a small portion of that awesome power. The deep brain, which keeps us alive, runs a myriad of internal systems without our conscious awareness. We are in a state of flow 100% of the time, but our conscious connection to it is only occasional and tenuous. In this rapidly changing world, we need to do better than that.
"Ignite the Genius Within" is an experiential, consciousness-expanding book and workshops/seminars, employing multi-media guided sound and visual stimulation that will provide tools to activate and make dramatically expanded use of the awesome power of your deep brain. It will enhance your awareness of yourself as a “non-local” being, and give you an experience of you that you’ve never had before. And when our inner vision changes, everything in the outside world also begins to change.
