1. Can you explain what "mindful meditation" is?
Mindful meditation is meditation that keeps you in the present moment. One could really call it a misnomer in a way, because the goal is to let the linear thoughts of the mind drift off. The goal is to focus on your breathing and on staying in the now. A lot of people have challenges quieting the chatter of their conscious minds and just being in the moment. Mindful meditation will help you do that. The second CD in my series for Automatic Chakra Balance™ “Moment by Moment” has a mindfulness meditation on it. It’s six tracks of music for relaxation that prepare you for the “Moment by Moment” meditation on the last track. If someone really has trouble turning off their mind dialogue, this will really help. The guided meditation is only fifteen minutes and you come out of it feeling completely centered, grounded, and fully present. But you don’t need a guided meditation to have a mindful meditation. What it comes down to is being able to focus.

2. If someone wanted to use music as a healing toolwhat is the first step they'd take?
The first step would be to figure out where you’re vibrating. What frequencies make you feel good? What music do you find completely relaxing? The music in my CD series is designed to clear and balance the energy field just by listening. There are six CDs in the series, but I purposefully did not number them because I wanted people to just intuitively choose which music and meditations they want to start with. If you follow your intuition your spirit will lead you to the right music for healing.

3. How do angels present themselves to us?
Angels are messengers. Messengers show up in different ways and at different times in our lives. Angels deliver their messages in many ways, but mostly in ways in which we are open to receiving the message. So sometimes they will speak directly to us; and sometimes they will show up in a dream or vision, or even deliver their message through another person. Angels are always around us. We have only to be open to that and know that we are so loved.

4. What method to you recommend for someone to get intouch with their own psychic abilities?
In order to really reconnect with your own intuitiveness, you have to first quiet the chatter. You can’t ever hear anything above the roar of your own thought processes. It’s similar to two or more people trying to have a conversation and constantly interrupting each other or talking over each other. You end up with a big noisy mess and no one can hear what anyone else is saying. Then you have to figure out what your intention is with developing your intuition. Do you want to communicate? Do you want information? Do you want to help others with your gifts? Or do you want to win the lottery or perhaps win a psychic challenge? My point is you need to figure out your intentions so that you can align your will with universal will. The more you meditate and just sit in the stillness of “all that is,” the more you will hear, know, or see. This is really the easiest and fastest way to “phone home.”

5. If you could pick the one thing that preventspeople from manifesting and acquiring what they want what would it be?
The main thing that prevents people from manifesting and acquiring what they want is the misconception of what manifesting really is. Manifesting is a co-creative process, not the process of someone demanding that things show up a certain way simply because they put their minds and positive thoughts on it. Using the Law of Attraction is only one step in the process of manifesting. This is the biggest stumbling block that I’m seeing now. People are trying to manifest only by using the power of their minds. There is more to it than that. It’s an integrative process. And learning to manifest really doesn’t have to take years. It isn’t difficult.

Flash

by Dyan Garris

Flashback circa 1993. Like Merlin in his crystal cave, I am surrounded by shimmering multi-colored faceted crystal as I sit at my desk designing a piece of jewelry. The sunlight flows in like liquid gold from the window, plays on the sparkling gemstones, and sends the gift of radiant rainbows all around me. I am surrounded and give up. It is awesome beauty and the magic of the universe at its finest. I breathe it in deeply.

As I am bathed in this pure magnificence, I hear, feel, and sense a presence. This is nothing new or frightening to me, as I am a clairvoyant. I listen quietly as many voices converge into one and these too, I breathe in. I remain still because I know that in the center of that silence is the Truth. I am being asked to write something down. I step over to the computer and begin to write what is soon flowing as smoothly as honey.

I am writing a “journey.” It’s a healing journey. We begin on an island and we pass through several colorful doors and cross a bridge. There is a beautiful blue river and a raft that has no oars. We put the raft in the water, climb in, and float trustingly, since we cannot control where we are going. I feel as if I have visited this place somewhere in time. It feels that real. We play in the waterfall of rainbows, meet the friendly dolphins and receive a gift from them. We leave our troubles in the peaceful clearing and we encounter our guardian angels. The sheer beauty of the journey almost brings me to tears. We look into the mirror and receive answers to our deepest and most puzzling questions. We connect with the light; and when we emerge from this peaceful journey, we return with our whole selves. Yes, I think I have been to this place. It’s as if I’m remembering and bringing that imagery back here.

Flash forward to the present moment. “A Healing Journey” was the beginning and foundation of my current body of work. From that healing journey evolved a deck of angel cards, Each card has its own message from angels in rhythmic quatrain verse and each card is based on a scene from that journey. Then eventually one by one came all of the other tools in the toolbox that I’m almost done building. Six music and meditation CDs for chakra balance and for relaxation and connection to inner wisdom evolved in 2005 and 2006. Words and music flowed like manna from heaven. In 2007 my CD “Release” was born. It is eleven tracks of relaxation music for the purposes of releasing whatever is stuck and keeps one from moving forward on the path. Each CD vibrates progressively higher and “Release” vibrates to the seventh chakra.

Along the path came a journal to use with the cards and one to use with the CDs. And then came other books, each also vibrating progressively higher. At the top of this is “Money and Manifesting,” which teaches people how to unblock their core energy for manifesting. There are two more items that go into the toolbox and very soon it will be a complete system that people can use for spiritual growth and transformation.

As I created this healing journey out of one rainbow filled moment, I lived it in every sense of the word. I pondered many times what it all really meant. I contemplated the bigger picture. In that process I came to have in my possession several keys, which I now share with you. In order to be truly happy and in order to really manifest anything, one must move everything out of their way that blocks their path; and one must learn to align one’s will with universal will. This is what gives us the ability to co-create with the truth of our spirits, rather than demand, like petulant children, that things show up in our lives just because we want them. Our lifetimes here are like a flash in a moment of time. Live like the shining light that you are. Everything here is a learning process, a process of remembering, a process that brings us full circle. It all truly is a healing journey.

Money and Manifesting - Summary

By Dyan Garris

Money and Manifesting is more than a manual about how to apply the laws of attraction and think positively. It teaches you the real secrets of manifesting. Here you will learn what really stands in the way of manifesting, how to unblock the energy flow of money, and how to actually transform energy to get what you desire.

The Law of Attraction is part of what you need to know to manifest, but it is only one part of the process. We do not ultimately create anything with just the power of our minds. While the power of the mind plays a very important part in manifesting, the very seat of creation is in our base chakra.

In the book Money and Manifesting you will learn how to unblock, activate, and integrate the energy of every chakra so you can effectively create exactly what you desire to create. For those that have tried in vain to implement the Law of Attraction, this book will help you understand exactly why this hasn’t worked for you. And it will teach you exactly what you need to do to learn to manifest.

In addition to this, parts of the book are fictionalized. There is a good story here too that anyone can relate to. When we can relate, identify, and see ourselves reflected, we then have a platform for change. The book is written this way so that while you are reading it, you are already actively engaging in the process of left brain/right brain integration. This is a first and necessary step to manifesting anything. When you’re done reading, you’ve already had an exercise in integration and you’re on your way to manifesting. You will feel an automatic shift.

“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 of Money and Manifesting

Introduction

The very ﬁrst thing to understand about money is that we do not “make” money. We create and open pathways to the ﬂow of the energy of money. Money is energy. In and of itself it has no power. The power it has is our perception that it has power and this is what fuels the energy of money. These perceptions stem from illusion, perspectives, and deep seated belief systems.

If we understand these concepts as a basis, then we can begin to understand that we need to learn to open pathways of energy ﬂow. Part of that process is learning how energy works, how we can utilize that energy, and subsequently learn to manifest.

What makes this book different is that you will learn how to actually transform energy and learn how to integrate energy and align the mind, body, and spirit so that the things you are manifesting can actually occur. This is called synchronicity.

The magic of synchronicity can’t happen if your will isn’t aligned with universal will because we cannot manifest from a place of ego, which is the place of wants, needs, and desires. This is the place where the mind decides what it wants irrespective of what the spirit came to do.

And synchronicity can’t happen if you don’t integrate and implement the learning. Reading about how to manifest is one thing. Thinking positive thoughts is another thing. But actually implementing, and clearing a pathway for the energy to travel on and then integrating, is quite another matter.

The energy of money resides in the root chakra. In order to manifest anything we need to understand the chakra system, why it’s a factor, and learn how to balance and clear our chakras and chakra system. You will learn how to do that here as well. It is not difﬁcult. But it is integral to the process of manifesting anything.

And we will be breaking down the illusion of money as it relates to self worth. Money as we know it is basically pieces of paper. Those that have learned to equate their intrinsic value and ultimate “success” with money should seriously consider when they became pieces of paper.

These illusions and perspectives have to do with learned patterns and belief systems; and here you will learn about these things, where they originated from and what to do about them too.
We will go beyond positive thinking and “you are what you attract” and “you are what you think about.” While those things are certainly true, just knowing about those or engaging in positive thinking doesn’t take you to the next steps.

Positive thinking and afﬁrmations do not necessarily lead you to learning how to actually create money ﬂow in your life. You have to integrate the positive thoughts into your belief system as truth. They have to take true form in the chakra system and replace the old patterns. This is what we can then build a foundation on, and subsequently an amazing new house.

You will learn how to integrate the energy of mind, body, and spirit and thus be able to attract and create anything you choose, not just money.

I wrote the book the way I did for a reason. That is so that while you’re reading it you’re engaging left brain, right brain, and the different chakras as well. The book itself is an exercise in integration. And the characters each have blocks to manifesting. In one way or another they are each in their own way of getting what they want.

Everything is a reﬂection; and if you can see yourself reﬂected here even in one small aspect, you will then have the keys to unlocking the doors to manifesting. All it takes is the knowledge of how to connect the dots, the ability to turn the key in the lock, and the willingness to step through the doors.

Synchronicity is what happens when the mind, body, and spirit are working together as a team.

Manifesting is bringing all layers of the etheric body, mind, physical body, and spirit together in synchronicity.

Value and worth are perceptions.
