Follow on Google News | Inspirational Storyteller, Speaker & Best-Selling Author Nina Kelly On Where Gratitude BeginsBy: Nina M. Kelly New Orleans, LA – April 19, 2019 – Dr. Nina M. Kelly, Inspirational Storyteller, Coach, Author and Co-Author of The Big Question with Larry King, and Success Mastery and Success Breakthrough with Jack Canfield, recently posted a new article on her website entitled, "Where Gratitude Begins." Dr. Kelly connects gratitude with the need of the collective unconscious to express itself in stories. Dr. Kelly states, "I believe that gratitude begins with story." She elaborates further, "I also believe that story begins with connection. That connection begins with experiences. For instance, I experience myself. I experience others. I experience something going on around me that involves other beings. These things that happen make me smile, laugh, cry, shout, scream. Then I experience something warm inside that makes me want more of those things that make me smile, laugh, cry, shout, scream." Dr. Kelly emphasizes, "I feel that can only be described as appreciation, thankfulness, gratitude for each and every experience that has caused me to feel such a range of emotions." According to Dr. Kelly, "Each experience is a story. A story I can retell and conjure up the same feeling I did as it happened." She says, "Carl Jung has written that, "the collective unconscious contains the whole spiritual heritage of mankind's evolution, born anew in the brain structure of every individual." As Dr. Kelly points out, it is her belief that, "This invisible shared human experience is itself cause for gratitude." She continues adding, "Our shared human experiences are told in the form of cultural and spiritual rituals which are story patterns passed down from generation to generation. Our experiences are also told through painting, dance, song, theater. The arts hold the eternal space for story. Artists, or those individuals who actively, consciously seek a deeper understanding of our relationship with this unseen connectivity, brings that understanding to others." Dr. Kelly states, "The artist refines the ability to communicate with humanity on a grand scale, uniting us more intimately with the universal force."
