In this time of transformation, it’s important to see and understand what we’re doing when we allow ourselves to engage in a negative manner, rather than a positive one. Below are the things that keep you stuck in an endless cycle of negative engagement. You can change these at any time you desire.

1. Keep going around and around with someone.
When we let someone drag us around and around in something that has no healthy resolution, we waste our life force. Sometimes you’re just done with a thing because you’ve mastered the lesson. Be willing to walk away and see the bigger picture. Objects in the mirror appear larger than they really are.

2. Give your power away.
The power is in the love. If you keep this in mind, you’ll always take the high road even when the low road seems more attractive in the moment.

3. Be fueled by your emotions.
You’re all grown up and have control over what you react to and what you don’t.  To let your emotions rule you wastes your energy and keeps you engaged in your old patterns. Driving around in a circle is only entertaining on ice - where there’s a chance for some excitement.

4. Let your ego and arrogance dictate your truth.
The ego can fool us into all manner of illusions. It’s when you can see the real truth of any situation, you are completely free.  When you’re arrogant enough not to see your ego and how it gets in your way, you can’t possibly see the truth.

5. Don’t set a boundary.
The best way to be a doormat is to not set a boundary or to set one and then break your own rules because you feel like doing so. Does a fence have feelings? It’s just a perimeter.

6. Be very attached to outcome.
When you’re attached to the way something ends up, you’ve effectively created limitation.

7. Be afraid.
To create from fear is to “negative manifest.” What you don’t want will come barging through your door and try to convince you to be its servant.  No one can do anything to you that you don’t allow or that doesn’t have its own higher purpose.

8. Be stubborn and unforgiving.
When you stubbornly refuse to forgive someone, you give them some of your power because you’re putting enough energy on whatever it is to keep you in the position of stubborn and unforgiving. Do you care that much to keep feeding the monster?

9.  Be unwilling to move forward.
If you have a tale of woe, you’re being given the opportunity to see the lessons and get out of your patterns. Unless you like to stay stuck in the mud up to your neck, spinning your wheels, see the bigger picture, apply it to your life and ease on down the road. . .hopefully, singing a happy and joyful song.

There has always been evil in our world. It’s nothing new.  And with our technology it seems we are personally privy to despicable acts of evil on a daily basis.  What is particularly dangerous to our world, to all of humanity, however, is pure evil masquerading as the Light, pure evil masquerading as the way and the truth.  Didn’t we see a similar thing with the rise of Hitler? Eventually evil is taken down and unmasked. Because no matter how intricate the web of deception, it’s still just a flimsy old web, snaring and entrapping things in hopes of transforming itself into something concrete someday. Impossible.

With the current emphasis on “money as power” we set ourselves up for unspeakable evil to operate very effectively in our lives. We set ourselves up to be taken in by slick con artists who have their acts polished to precision.  Driven at a primary level by their self-serving narcissistic greed and lust for money coupled with a misguided concept of power, they are capable of fooling everyone, including themselves.

Their biggest mistake, however, is that they believe that everyone, like themselves, is driven at the core by the love and the need of money.  They don’t understand anything different.  They don’t understand their own karma. They don’t understand accountability for one’s actions on a spiritual level or on this earthbound level in which we live. And maybe they don’t care. They think they get away with whatever they do and therefore fool themselves into believing they are gods or even in their arrogance, godlike derivatives. They are heady with their own twisted “power.”  Look at the word “believing" in the previous sentence.  There’s a LIE right in the middle of it.

We are perhaps driven by our need to believe in something good here amidst all the apparent bad, to have faith, to hear what we want to hear, and see what we want to see.  If we don’t have a good measure of discernment, this is how we get fooled.  And sometimes even if we do have it, we can be fooled just simply because we would like something to be true.

When we are attached to what we want, what we want to hear, what we want to believe is true, we render ourselves capable of being fooled into firmly believing that a lie is the truth. When we don’t follow our own intuition about something, we allow evil an opportunity to enter our realm and try to steal that which does not belong to it.  We give it permission to use us as its host.
 
We feed it our goodness for breakfast, as if believing that by feeding it enough of such, it will transform itself. On the contrary, evil will freely take what you give it, whatever you feed it, chew it up greedily, and then regurgitate it vehemently. My advice: just step out of the way.   You don’t have to do a thing. Eventually, evil gets caught in its own foundationally weak web of intrigue. And in its inevitable fall, it gets unmasked for the lie that it is. That’s the truth.  In the game of good vs. evil ALWAYS loses.

In a time when the world desperately needs messages of hope and faith, we find “Players” running amok. By definition “play” means there is some kind of game involved. Is everything a scam? Is there a sharp angle and juxtaposed twist to everything? Has integrity gone up in flames as we feel our foundations quaking, crashing, and burning? Is it truly every man for themselves? Get what you can while the getting is good because there are no consequences?  This is disgusting. It’s akin to looting.  And truly a Player plays and deceives everyone including themselves. And therefore they do ultimately lose the game. A lie is a lie even if it believes itself to be true.

There must be things and people that are what they purport to be, right? We need to believe that.  We need to encounter the truth along the path, especially now that we’re staring right into the huge and gaping universal eye of spiritual growth and transformation. Just as in growing from childhood to adulthood, this is inevitable. It’s already happening, whether we accept it or not. To make the required leap into maturity, we need to be able to discern the difference between deception and what is true, even if we want to believe the very compelling lie.

Entitlement goes hand in hand with Player as a co-dependent relationship. When you make a choice to take what doesn’t belong to you, play someone, you’re making some very bad karma. If you’re wondering why you are having money troubles then and can’t manifest your life the way you want to, you need to fully examine why you feel entitled to someone else’s fruit.  Is it because you may perceive that someone else has more than you do and therefore the world owes you an apple or two? To get out of entitlement, familiarize yourself with the concept of exchange. That’s what has power, not the pieces of paper, not the fruit, not the ability to manipulate and control, to play.  Entitlement is a child’s game.

Recently I’ve had multiple emails from people who have been played in one way or another.  It’s not just a need to believe and have faith that sets you up for this.  It’s also a need to hear what you want to hear, feel what you may have not felt in a while. It’s about some sort of pattern.  It’s about some misconception about the way energy is designed to flow here.  It’s about upside down ideas about give and take. It’s about a void somewhere inside you.  We mistakenly believe we can fill that void with the warmth of a fire from the outside. We can’t.  In the Player's magic bag of tricks is one or two of those 4th of July sparklers that you put on top of birthday cakes. They're all razzle, dazzle, and show. But they fizzle out quickly and they definitely aren't hot, even though they seem like they might be.

A really skilled player is capable of fooling you, themselves, and everyone they come in contact with. It’s some kind of narcissistic sparkly insanity at its finest.  And theirs is not the kind of fire that warms you. It’s the kind that has the capability to burn and destroy whatever it decides to touch in its all consuming quest to feed itself and keep itself going. So instead of perpetually carrying around a fiery flaming torch for someone or something, consider dropping the heavy thing on the ground and setting the pathway/"world" on fire. If you insist on carrying it, be aware that the only thing you’ll accomplish is attracting more bugs to your light.

Here we are winding down what has been a very intense Mercury retrograde. Personally, the whole year has felt like Mercury retrograde to me. I’ll be glad when this cycle finally ends and a new beginning stretches out in all its glorious splendor before me.  I’m gonna RUN down that pathway  toward the light as fast as I can. So what do we do with all these lessons and intensity? As always, it’s not  about what happens to you. It’s what you do with it all that matters.

Believe it or not, your life’s purpose is to transform lower into higher. Yep! Isn’t that simple? We spend entire lifetimes seeking out our life’s purpose and there it is right in front of our faces.  If only we could see. We do see and hear and take in as truth whatever we want to see, hear, and take in as truth. That’s the illusion part of this earthbound reality.  On the other side of the illusion is the truth. We came here for opportunities in Love and in transformation of lower (earthly) into higher (heavenly.)

Part of the key in navigating cycles in your life that feel really terrible is to realize that whatever happens to you isn’t really terrible. It may feel that way, it may look that way, but truly it’s just opportunity to engage in your life’s purpose.

And an important key is to also understand that it’s all a matter of what we choose to focus on.  I can choose to make the most important thing in my life growing my hair down to my butt before I die, or turning on that ceiling fan when I’m on my treadmill with just the power of my intention.  Or I can focus on what is before me in terms of events that have occurred and decide what to do with them.

It’s up to me to make lemonade with the lemons or not.  It’s all a choice and it all has to do with transformation leading to ascension.  I can choose to complain about the sourness of the lemons. Or I can sit there and just look at the lemons wondering bitterly why I have such a strange abundance of very tart fruit. I can stomp on the lemons in anger. I can throw them all away and pretend they never existed. If I did that, more would surely follow, right? But here is wisdom:  Just add sugar.

How Do You See It?
By Dyan Garris

Perception and perspective are everything here.  These are what we base our choices on, why we buy things, why we go in certain directions, why we believe certain things.   Perception and perspective stroll hand in hand on the beach of life and form a basis of why we do what we do. We shape the course of our lives because of these.

We do believe that what we THINK we see is what is real. But there are entire other-realms filled with very real things that we may not believe in because we can’t see them. We even have perceptions and perspectives about these other realms based on what we THINK we know.

But when we form perceptions of something and then view it from our lofty perch of perspectives, we miss what’s really going on. It’s when we’re open to our perspectives being slightly skewed that we have the opportunity to see that bigger picture that I’m always talking about.

If perception forms the basis of our belief systems, then if we change our perceptions, we certainly have opportunity to see a whole different viewpoint.

Here’s where the trouble starts. If we don’t understand that we’re living in an illusion, that everything here is an illusion for purposes of coming together and learning lessons about love, then we make certain that we keep ourselves locked firmly in the prison of our perceptions, whatever those might be.

If you understand how the illusions works, if you understand how energy is designed to flow here, if you let go of what you THINK you know long enough for the mind, body, and spirit to start working together in an integrated manner, then you’ve successfully used illusion to your benefit.

Did I say “use to your benefit?” I did! But that is part of the illusion. If your goal is to use things to your benefit then you are firmly entrenched in the illusion, along with skewed perceptions and perspectives.

It’s when you fully understand your connection to ALL that you realize what real power is. I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating: The real power is in the Love.  The real power is in realizing the illusion and understanding how it works here. The illusion is for everyone’s “benefit.”  And the space of “being” where you step out of the illusion and into the Love is the space where miracles occur. So how do you see it?

I recently had the pleasure of connecting with Kris Steinnes as she embarks on her Amazon.com launch for her award winning book "Women of Wisdom: Empowering the Dreams and Spirit of Women." Part of what intrigues me about this book besides the obvious fact that it's about self-empowerment, is that it's also multi-dimensional. The book incorporates many different forms of stirring the innate wisdom of the soul, such as poetry and drawings, along with its written teachings of wisdom.  Her book launch officially begins June 23rd, and I'll have more posted here on that day as well. She's put together an amazing package of free gifts for you. You won't want to miss it. In the meantime while we're waiting for the main event, here are some little appetizers for you, as Ms. Steinnes graciously granted me an interview:


1. Kris, please define "empowerment."
Empowerment to me means you are standing in your inner wisdom, confident who you are, and you know what you are willing to support and what you will speak up to change.  You are willing to face your fears and be visible. You will show the world who you are, which will empower others to do the same. What also does it take to be empowered? You need to connect to the universal power, the love and light of the universe that supports us, not personal power. Call it whatever you'd like, God, Source, Love, Allah, etc.  You'll drain yourself fast if you are just using personal power.

2. Please define "wisdom."
Wisdom comes from knowing who you are, knowing your gifts.  You trust what you know from your gut, not your head. So it comes from a deep place inside of you, not from books, and knowledge. It comes from life experiences.

3. What makes a woman wise?
Knowing who she is, being strong and willing to be visible to show the world who she is.

4. Are women less empowered then men, and if so, why?
We are when we're not wiling to speak up, be seen, be heard, and show ourselves as powerful. When we sit back and let others do it, we're not in our power.  Sometimes we take on an attitude of how can I make a change, I'm just one person, so why try. Or we think we have too much on our plate taking care of our children, our home, in addition to working that we don't have any more time, let others do it.  But everyone has an effect on the world. If you can touch one person by sharing who you are, sharing your stories, you are empowering them. If you know this, you are more willing to share yourself and your wisdom, your power to others.

5. Do both men and women have a divine right to create or is it just women?
Everyone has a divine right to create. Creativity is a feminine trait, that is not connected to gender, but is available to everyone.  It may appear women are more creative as we birth new life, An important feminine trait that women have is they are interested in the process, allowing the process to naturally enfold, instead of focusing on the product, the end result. Both are important, but there's not a balance if there's more focus on the outcome, if there's more focus on the masculine or yang in the world. Again that's not a gender issue, but it can be sometimes. When men and women are both balanced in their feminine and masculine we all are creative and can co-create our new world. 

6. How can a woman begin to become empowered? What are the first steps?
One idea I have is to look for people who you see as empowered. Observe them, see what makes them powerful.  Acknowledge if you can see it in them, it's in you as well. So find that in yourself and start practicing being that. Be clear on what you want in your life, be clear on what you want to develop. In order to do that there first is an inward journey to discover your gifts.  It helps to have a circle of supportive friends to then practice sharing your gifts, sharing your voice. Practice using your voices with friends who will validate you for who you are. And be willing to make mistakes, keep finding that strength within to move forward in your life as you learn from those mistakes.

7. What is one secret gift that women have?
Do we?  Shh don't tell anyone!   I feel that women are coming into their power and are glad they have come at this life time as a woman, as we're bringing in a new way of being here at this time. That doesn't mean it's totally new, just means we're reclaiming it, bringing it back to our awareness.

If there was one gift I'd say is important right now it's intuition. Women are often gifted with that ability; it's just a matter of trusting it and learning how to follow it. Another one is we comprehend the value of community, we know the value of friendships to support us. But a secret gift is hard to define.  When I think about that to answer this it feels illusive, like it's on the tip of my tongue, I know it, but I can't define it. It's just an exciting time to be a woman! 

8. How can women begin to transform the world?
Women will transform the world when they share their wisdom, their ideas, their different ways of doing things every where they go. We can talk about change and want others to transform how things are, but it's doing it in our own lives that will begin the real change.  If we're to change the world from a hierarchal world to a co-partnership world we have to manifest it in our personal lives. We have to see where the patriarchy is in our lives and transform those areas to co-partnership as Riane Eisler talks about ,or the feminine co-creator as Barbara Marx Hubbard calls it.

We can't sit back and think we can't affect change in the world, it's too big, so why bother. It starts with what's occurring in our lives. Where we see things that we feel need to change - in our families, our neighborhoods, our schools, any committee we are in - it's up to us bring a new way of being, such as circle leadership, sharing responsibilities, changing the hierarchal model to an inclusive one that involves all voices to be part of the process. As we change that in our personal lives, it'll begin to show up in the greater community, and the world. 

Thank you, Kris for this enlightening interview!

Today I have the pleasure of hosting Kris Steinnes' and her highly acclaimed book "Women of Wisdom: Empowering the Dreams and Spirit of Women," as she goes on her Amazon.com tour.  This is a unique book with inspiring stories, art, and poetry combined with strong voices of best selling women authors and leaders in their fields. Throughout the book they share thought provoking ideas that explore the hidden potentials and gifts that reside in the depths of the feminine spirit. Women who are seeking for meaning in their lives will find this book a powerful tool to guide and inspire them.

I particularly like this quote on page 36 by Angeles Arrien: The world is hungry for the healthy feminine, and the healthy feminine is the feminine that does not move to the extremity. The healthy feminine is one that doesn’t test love, or manipulate for love, attention, acceptance or approval. The healthy feminine doesn’t go into drama or victimization. The healthy feminine does not go into appeasement patterns, or collapse, or control, or seduction. These are all behaviors of the covert feminine that lives in every man and woman.

Excerpt: "Have You Put Your Dreams On Hold?" (Angeles Arrien's chapter)

Each one of us has a great dream and a great calling. Many of us have put our dreams on the back burner. We say, “Someday when I have enough time, when I have enough money; then I’ll do what I really want to do, what has fire for me.” At this time there is such a wonderful opening in history, in evolution, if we will just come and take our place.

What I’ve found among many of the indigenous peoples of the world is that they know how important it is to bring our medicine and our dreams to this world. If we want the earth to get better we need to show up and take our place, not with our shrouds of insufficiency, but with our long tall bodies and our deep, deep roots. The warrior’s way or the leader’s way is to show up. And then I can pay attention to what has heart and meaning, which is the healer’s way. I can’t know what has heart or meaning until I choose to show up, until I choose to be present.

Among the shamanic traditions of the world, if you go to a shaman or a medicine person, and you are dispirited, disheartened, or depressed, many of them will ask you one of four questions: “When in your life did you stop singing? When in your life did you stop dancing? When in your life did you stop being enchanted by stories, and particularly your own life story? And when in your life did you stop being comforted by the sweet territory of silence?”

Wherever we stop singing, dancing, being enchanted by stories or deeply comforted by silence, we begin to experience soul loss. There’s not a culture in the world that does not have song, or dance, or story, or doesn’t recognize that in the sweet territory of silence we connect to the mystery in our contemplative and reflective practices.

I know I’m not at home when I’m in appeasement, weak-heartedness, seduction, drama or exaggeration. I know I’m not at home when I am playing the martyr or the victim and wanting someone else to be responsible for my life and therefore guilt induce others. I’m not at home when I’m controlling, because the opposite of control is trust.

I am at home when I have fire; when I am deeply connected to what has heart and meaning, the heart’s fire; when I’m seized by a vision that I want to manifest and bring to the sweet face of Mother Earth. I know I’m on fire when I’ve lost time through some creativity, and when I’ve experienced a moment of tender sweetness and intimacy in a relationship that has substance and depth. I know I’m on fire when I’ve connected to something numinous and extraordinarily beautiful that can only be found when trusting in an unshakable part of myself, in a sacred refuge that I can find in my deep interior.

Every now and then we are reminded of how important it is to be self-empowered. Recently, I was reminded of this myself as someone tried to take that from me with an out  of the blue bullying, harassing tactic. It didn't work, but I was definitely reminded to stay in my center and not let anyone take my power, no matter how  or when they may present themselves. Some people just have a need to bully because they believe this is what brings them power. Everything is an exchange and truly, no one can take your power unless you allow it.  And  this is an interesting and important lesson, no matter what our age.
 
Today I'm hosting four time Academy Award nominee actress Julianne Moore. I have always admired her not only for her natural beauty, but for her exceptional talent as well. One tends to remember her because she is not only brilliant, but is different.  Her book for children is " Frecklelface Strawberry and the Dodgeball Bully." Certainly, we can all see the reflection here. Most importantly, the book is delightful. It's about a young girl, who is different, being bullied on the playground and simply taking her power back. We all get bullied somewhere on life's playground, don't we?  This book is a must have for any parent who is trying to help their child be empowered on the playground or elsewhere in life.  It's a message that sticks and we can thank Julianne for presenting it in such a memorable and beautiful manner.

Julianne Moore is U.S. Ambassador for Save the Children working with children and families in rural areas, focusing on literacy and early childhood education. She successfully launched the Save the Children Valentine program in 2008 whereby children’s book illustrators donated art work for cards, with the proceeds benefiting poverty in the United States. She is also a member of Reach Out and Read, a children’s literacy organization dedicated to educating parents on the importance of reading to their children, as well as an acclaimed actress who has appeared in such movies as The Hours, Far from Heaven, The End of the Affair, and Boogie Nights. Ms. Moore was born in Fayetteville, North Carolina,and earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in acting from Boston University’s School of the Performing Arts. She now lives with her husband and children in New York City.

Nicknamed "Freckleface Strawberry" when she a young girl, Ms. Moore disliked the title as much as she disliked her red hair and freckles. “As a child, my hatred of my freckles was only matched by my love of reading,” said the author, who eventually grew to tolerate her red hair and freckles and find amusement in telling her own kids about her childhood nickname. "Dodgeball" isn’t based on personal experience, but its purpose was to create a feisty character who makes the best of a bad situation—and does so with style and wit—is essential to Ms. Moore.

Spotlight on Leigh Heals With Love

As you know, we've opened a phone psychic reading network at Voice of the Angels.com.  Our radio show with psychic Janie Daily went wonderfully! What a great guest! You can listen to the archive here: www.blogtalkradio.com/voice-of-the-angels-  I've hand picked these particular psychics for our line and am excited about you getting to know them. This week's interview is with Leigh Heals With Love. Be sure to join us on June 10th at 8 PM EDT for our radio interview as well. Leigh will be taking calls and doing free readings on air.  The call-in number is (347) 677-0831.

Here's what I asked Leigh:

        

Recently we launched a phone psychic reading network on Voice of the Angels.com. One  reason I did this is because it disturbs me greatly that there are so many psyshic scams out there. Some of these so called psychic services allow people who are not even remotely psychic counsel people by phone, tell them what they want to hear, and in general rip them off.  I've spent a year searching for truly gifted people to have on my line; people who would realy help people instead of telling them a bunch of things that aren't true.

Following is an interview with one very extraordinary woman, Janie Daily, who has graciously accepted my invitation to be a part of our angel family at Voice of the Angels.com. You'll find Janie available quite frequently to take your call at a very reasonable rate. And everyone gets FREE $5.00 in their account to begin speaking with her.  On May 27th at 8:00 PM EDT, I'll be interviewing her on my radio program. We'll get to know her even better and she will be doing free call-in readings as well.

Spotlight on Janie Daily
 
D.G. Janie, please tell us about your spiritual gifts and how you use them to help people. What energies do you work with?
 
J.D. I am blessed to have many areas of expertise. Meaning, I speak with God, Jesus, Archangel Michael, deceased Loved Ones, Angels, Star Beings, and Animals. I can do body scanning on both people and animals. I have also been blessed to witness true miracles of real healings. I am a Psychic Life Coach therefore I help others in all areas of their lives.
 
D.G.  When did you first become aware of your spiritual gifts?

J.D. I was different as a child but I didn't know it at the time. It was not until I was 38 years old that it started to sink in that what I do, see, and feel is not "the norm." I had to ponder whether it was a gift or a curse, so to speak. 

D.G.  How long have you been doing readings professionally?
 
J.D. I started studying and perfecting this in the year 1999 and have been doing professional readings since 2000. 
 
D.G.  Do you read tarot or angel cards?
 
J.D. I don't need cards or any other device to get messages. I feel very connected to my Higher Consciousness and to the Other Side. I do use the cards if I get the clienmt "needs proof" and the cards are always right on target. Meaning, they always pertain to what we had just spoken of.....it never ceases to amaze the client. Out of all the Angel cards I have used, my clients love yours. I love your cards too.
 
D.G. Tell us about some of your experiences in the healing field. Have you witnessed any miracles?
 
Most definitely. I found out that I had healing capabilities in the year 2003, I believe. The first person was a woman from Philadelphia who was in a horrible car accident. At the end of our session, I heard a man's voice that told me to put my hand on her spine. Mentally, I refused saying that was too much. After the internal back and forth, I asked her her permission which she granted. When I put my hand on her spine, I could feel her bones moving. She noticed immediate results and she was dumbfounded. Her husband was present as well.

Now, the odd thing is that I thought nothing of it. I was raised to believe that these types of experiences "did not exist" or they were "the devil's work".  People give alot of power to the devil and give credit to him for God's miracles. Then, a little over 4 years ago, I found my Lilly Belle. Someone threw her away, in a dumpster. She is a chocolate lab-boxer mixed. She was only 3 1/2 weeks old. She had a shattered left paw. I did take her to the vet and her paw was placed in a cast but I took the cast off. This happened three times and each time, I removed the cast after  a week or so.

The vet had also told me that she would have a life long limp since the break was so severe. One night I could not sleep. I got up and took Lilly Belle out of her crate. I laid with her on the couch and then I heard "the Man's voice". He told me to put my left hand on her paw. I did so and could feel her bones realligning. She was totally healed. To this day, she has never had any problems. Oh, she has no limp either. When she runs, we all refer to her as "Lightning Legs."

Then there was the cat, Ginger Snap. She came into our lives a little over a year ago. We found her on the side of the road. She was emaciated, pregnant, had a broken pelvis and her one back leg was useless. I took her to the vet and the vet suggested putting her to sleep. I told her that I would agree to that if her feline leukemia test comes back positive. It came back negative but she tested postive for heartworm. She got her shots and I took her home. That cat knew I could her her for she would come to me often and just sit with me as I placed my hands on her. She did lose her babies and I feel she did because of the high energy.

Her pelvis is completely healed as is her leg. When I took her to get her spayed, the vet, without my consent, took an x-ray. She said it was to check her heart but I feel it was to see what the heck was going on with her pelvis. When I scheduled the spaying, they had inquired about the kittens to which I responded with the truth. I told them the healing energy was too great for the kittens to survive. She was very newly pregnant.

The cat was in really bad shape when I found her and today, she is totally healed. I am uncertain about the heartworm because I have not had her re-tested yet. She was not expected to live very long but she is vibrant and healthy. I have seen many miracles but these three really stand out for me.   
 
D.G.  You've recently written a book. What is the name of your book and why did you write it?
 
J.D. The name of my book is, "Please God, Just Take Me Home" and it contains The Life Resume. It was written to help people to find their life paths. It contains a resume only the resume asks personal questions. I have completed my own resume so the reader will get an idea of how I came to doing what I do today. It is also a book to offer guidance so we can finish what we have come here to do so that when we pass, we Cross Over because our work here is done.
 
D.G.  What will people come away with when reading your book?
 
J.D. A greater understanding of themselves and their own intuition. A feeling of hope.
 
D.G.  What can someone expect when they call you for a phone reading?
 
J.D. We talk about everything. They can expect to get guidance, the truth and messages from their Loved Ones. We touch on topics that are holding them back in their lives. I have had people call me about severe relationship issues and want to discuss these issues but I have been told to bring up their careers. Everything in life works together. I think we make so many errors because we try to categorize. I do body scannings on pets and people. I deliver messages from their deceased Loved Ones. I address relationship and carreer issues. We talk about how they can enhance their intuition. We talk about ghosts. We talk about everything and anything.
  
D.G. You also do workshops and teach classes. Please tell us about those.
 
J.D. I have been teaching at the local community college for several years now. I teach two classes. One is Angels, Spirit Guides, and the Paranormal. The other is The Life Resume. I also hold workshops teaching people how to open their psychic abilities and how to communicate with their deceased Loved Ones. After my book is completed, I will be traveling and touring giving talks on topics addressed in my book. I speak alot on the truth of what really happens when we pass. Sylvia Brown tells great bedtime stories but that is all they are...Great bedtime stories.
 
D.G. When will your book be available and where will people be able to buy it?
 
I am hoping to be finished this month. I am uncertain of the publishing date but will get back to you with this informatrion. I am sure it will be this year though. It will be available through Publish America, Barnes and Noble, and Amazon. The old cover was light green. The new cover will be light blue. I have changed alot of the book and added a numerology section. I don't know much if anything about astrology but I feel that numerology is so accurate. The numbers in your birthdate say much about you. It is your core. When we work with our cores, then we are going with the true flow of our lives.

Money problems can be among some of the most devastating challenges we ever face. We may even find ourselves wanting to die if we lose all our money. Why?  Because money challenges hit us at the very root.  Money troubles shake up our very foundation.  We feel unsafe at the prospect of not having any money, because we’ve been taught that having money is what we need to survive. We were also taught that if we have money we’re successful and if we don’t, we’re not.  As a global consciousness this has become our truth and reverberates throughout the primary root chakra of the entire world.

We can tell ourselves that we know money is exchange, we know it’s energy, we know it isn’t everything, we know it isn’t happiness, we know, know, know. But like an affirmation or an essential nutrient that goes unabsorbed, we haven’t taken this in as truth.  We just haven’t.

We were taught with the magic panacea of the Law of Attraction that we could poof out money with our minds. We’ve found out that’s not true. So what is true when so many are facing financial ruin? What is true? How do we get money?

It’s important to understand that the more we go after money, the more it eludes us. It’s important to understand that it’s not enough even to just do what we’re passionate about and expect the money to follow. It’s important to understand that even if we lose “everything” we’re still safe. It’s not the end. It may feel like it, but it’s not, unless you make it so.

The universe has presented us with a great big opportunity to figure out who we are without our money. And you know what? We’re scared of that.  It's uncomfortable to say the least. The more we do not know who we are without our money, the more scared we become. The more we have defined ourselves by our money and things, the more scared we become. That puts us in a vicious cycle where we can’t make any forward progress.  Fear blocks the ability to create anything at all. It’s extremely immobilizing.

We need to get things in perspective, and that can be challenging when the perspective is already so distorted. We need to learn to create, to co-create, to take back our power, instead of giving it away to our belief in the dominion of these little pieces of paper. We need to learn to create from our root, and that means that we create from who we are and with what ingredients we have available.

It’s not “If only I had $10,000 then I could go and do such and such.” It’s “What do I have right now that I can use to set my intentions into forward moving energy that comes back to me not necessarily as pieces of paper, but as every single thing that I need. . . as my creative energy, the raw power of my ability to create, transformed into form made manifest?"

There are no limitations unless we firmly believe that there are. And when we’re scared that’s all we see, and therefore limitation does become our reality.

If we all collectively took our energy off of our fear of not having enough, of losing everything, then we open a massive portal for the energy of money and the energy of the things we desire to flow to us.  If we then took all of our energy and focused on creating, instead of this negative “un-creating” that we’re collectively engaged in at the moment, we’d free up a whole lot of energy for everyone. 
 
If you open your refrigerator and see one or two ingredients in there, then be willing to make something out of them.  What we’re doing right now is opening the refrigerator, seeing one or two ingredients, and proclaiming that these are not enough to do anything with. Then we’re slamming the door shut and going hungry.

Welcome to Dyan Garris' Money and Manifesting Book Tour

During the month of April, Dyan Garris is touring to promote her book Money and Manifesting.  Her latest book is a tool in her "toolbox". To learn more, visit - www.voiceoftheangels.com/home.html.

Moving Beyond The Secret

The Secret gave us the foundation for the law of attraction. If you've been trying to use the laws of attraction to create, but there isn't much happening, you may wonder what you're doing wrong. The answer is - you aren't doing anything wrong, but there is more to the story than just the law of attraction and the power of positive thinking. The law of attraction is one step in the process of manifesting. This is where Money and Manifesting comes in. Dyan Garris helps you learn how to take things further and to make more things happen in their lives. The Secret was the foundation, while Money and Manifesting gives you the additional building materials to create a solid creation.

Virtual Book Tour Details

During April, Dyan Garris will visit a wide variety of blogs, several radio shows and a chat to discuss her work and her book Money and Manifesting. We invite you to visit her at any or all of these visits throughout the month.

Click to view the full schedule for her tour - http://inspiredauthor.com/promotion/dyan-garris-april-tour-schedule . If you miss any of her blog visits, feel free to visit her virtual book tour home page to read any information that you missed.

Book Summary

Not just another manual about the laws of attraction and the power of positive thinking, Ms. Garris teaches what stands in our way of manifesting, how to unblock the energy flow of money, and how to actually transform energy to get what you desire.

Parts of the book are fictionalized so that your left brain and right brain processes begin to integrate. So, when you get done with the book you've already begun the first steps toward manifesting. Automatically.

In March I'm embarking upon another Virtual Book Tour with Dorothy Thompson's "Pump Up Your Book Promotion." I'm very excited about that because I know this new book "Money and Manifesting" is going to help a lot of you. This is not just another manual about how to apply the laws of attraction and positive thinking. In fact, it is all about what is wrong with doing just that and exactly what to do about it. You were sold only half of the story. This is the real secret.  Parts of the book are fictionalized, so there is a story here too and characters that everyone can identify with. If we can identify and see ourselves in the reflection, we can use that as a springboard toward change, growth, and transformation. Here are a few preliminary reviews and I'll hope you'll join me on the Virtual Book Tour trail for a chance to win "Money and Manifesting."

Powerful, clear, concise book, February 14, 2008 By  Chloe Collins "njstarfish" - See all my reviews Dyan Garris has written a powerful book filled with clear explanations and simple directions on how to manifest that which your heart desires, be it wealth, a great relationship, health or something else. What sets this book apart from many others is the clarity of the overall message. Ms. Garris explains in concrete terms what one needs to understand and do as well as why people who are doing affirmations, visualization techniques, and meditating, which are all good things, may not be succeeding in achieving their goals and what they also need to do and best of all, how to do it. There's no unnecessary filler to wade through. This is a fast, delightful, and powerful read.

 

All the knowledge you will need to create your reality is right here!, 20 Feb 2008   By    Michelle Roberton -. Jones () - See all my reviews      For a long while now I have been waiting for someone out there to "truly" share all the parts that we need to "re - learn" to enable us to create our own reality - The Secret left bits out, which personally made my blood boil for by it not giving the "whole story" individuals could be left slowly losing any faith and trust in themselves and or the Universe. How could our reality be created with only our thoughts and feelings when for millions of years we have conceived and created within our base - giving birth to babies and babies galore! Dyan writes beautifully - straight to the point with none of this "fluffy" business - I admire that in her - she guides you through all the tools that you will need to create your reality - All that is left for you to do - is take action my friend!

        

MONEY AND MANIFESTING BY DYAN GARRIS

You think positive thoughts. You apply the laws of attraction. You visualize. You even clear pathways to abundance. And you manifest nothing. Now you want to find out exactly what to do about it. You want wealth. You want prosperity. You want transformation. Here you will discover the real secrets to money and manifesting. What you learn will change your life forever.

“It is not enough to think positively, repeat affirmations, and attract positive energy. We must implement and integrate this learning into our daily lives. This is the real secret of manifesting money. It is the real secret to manifesting anything.”

— Dyan Garris, author, musician, and clairvoyant.
