Donna Evans Strauss is the founder of the Grace Touch Technique and the Living from Grace program. For 18 years, she taught, developed curriculum, and mentored students of the Barbara Brennan School of Healing. She has a private practice in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, specializing in conscious parenting and holistic healing for addictions and trauma-related disorders. Donna has traveled throughout North America and to South America, Europe, and China to share her expertise through lectures, workshops, and private sessions. She has also served as a leader in Pathwork International, which provides transformative spiritual programs.

Donna is well known for her holistic approach to healing, working energetically with the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual energy bodies. She instructs and advises psychotherapists, psychologists, medical doctors, and body workers from around the world on the integration of the human energy field (HEF) with more traditional practices and psychological theories—such as Freudian, Bioenergetics, Humanistic, Cognitive and Family Therapy—to promote healthy, loving relationships. Her teachings on the spiritual journey of the family, human energy and consciousness, healing, and self-awareness are at the cutting edge of the human development movement.

When the cellular membrane of a child is infused with grace and love from both its mother and father, the foundation of the child’s physiological, psychological, and spiritual health and well-being is being stored. The child’s brain and nervous system grows according to the peace and pure love available in its holding environment. The center or ground of the child’s consciousness, self-realization, and God-realization will anchor itself either in the luminosity of God’s grace and love as a Positive Love Bond or in neglect, abuse, anxiety, and depression as a Negative Love Bond.

Positive and negative love bonds, both directly imprinted onto our cellular membrane through the limbic system, can be traced back through our families, often for generations. Both conscious and unconscious reenactments of negative familial and ancestral patterns directly relate to a breach in one or more of God’s commandments. These breaches form negative love bonds, which are difficult to dissolve and change because they are programmed into the deep limbic system, in response to an authentic need for love.

If you research the historical roots of your family, many times you can reveal these breaches or “crooked ways” that have led a person or family away from living life from Divine Grace and Love. Moreover, once you trace your familial patterns, blind spots, and veils of illusion, you will learn ways to release the negative love bonds, which will open you to receive all of the blessings from your ancestors, going back thousands of years.
