Interview with Dyan Garris

Dyan Garris guides clients with her gifts of clairvoyance, clairaudience, and clairsentience. As a voice recognition psychic and trance channel,she helps people tune to and use power in the chakras, and be the best they can be.

After expanding my own insight into angel intuitive work through workshops with Heavenly Angels and Doreen Virtue, I learned about Dyan through her extensive writings and Blog Talk Radio. She kindly shares views on angel wisdom and energy.

Dyan, thanks for your willingness to share insight into yourself with our readers. When did you realize you connect with angels?

My earliest recollection of connecting with angels was at four years old. An angel came into my room and spoke with me. Although, they don’t really speak, rather, they just “communicate.” The angel told me that it was very important that I remember who I am. At that tender age there is no “doubt.” I didn’t have a definition of that word. My favorite book at the time was “The Littlest Angel.” I recognized the being that was communicating with me as an angel. I asked my sister if she could see or hear the pretty angel and she said no.

Did you ever doubt of this truth?

I knew what I was seeing and hearing, so I just didn’t have any doubt about it. I’m sure that helped lay the foundation for what was to come in my life. I just never had any doubt or fear of the truth. Therefore, I gave myself permission from a very young age to just be who I am. I learned to validate my own parking ticket, instead of having others validate it.

Explain how you attune to energy vibrations.

Everything is energy. Certainly we’ve been hearing a lot about that lately. It’s time for us to begin to understand and assimilate that and take it in as the truth that it is. Energy here is designed to flow in a certain way. When we understand how energy is designed to flow, it’s easy to attune to it. You just flow with it. You have to be willing to do that, however, as a first step.

What are the intentions of your soul?

I came here, as everyone does, to learn and teach about love. My intentions are to provide people with the tools they need for self-empowerment. That is what the entire Spiritual Toolbox™ is about. It’s a model for people to use for connection and alignment of purpose and co-creating.

How do you help people understand soulful experience is not limited to 5 senses?

I say this: We have our physical body that we are quite aware of with all of our senses. Then we have our spiritual body, which is no less real, but which we aren’t quite so attuned with because most people can’t “see” it. If you being to understand yourself as having a very real spiritual body, you can begin to understand how important it is to take care of it just as you would your physical body. The soul is indwelling. When we connect the dots, connect the energies that are contained in our spiritual body, with the physical body, there is nothing we cannot do. Limitations become an illusion and synchronicity becomes the order of the day.

Choose 3 things you resonate with that help you grow.

Meditation is one. Another is being willing to examine oneself at a very core level, and being then willing to get rid of what no longer moves you forward. This is where people have the most trouble. They hang on to things. Another is the willingness to love without conditions or fear. I am never afraid to love. The challenge in any moment is always to BE the love.

Share an experience where you know you were making the right choice yet, you were afraid.

I’ve never felt afraid of any choice I’ve made. It’s not that I’ve always made “right” choices. It’s just that I’ve never been afraid of them. All paths eventually converge to take you to wherever you’re supposed to be or go.

What does fear teach you?

Whenever fear arises, there is opportunity to return to love. It’s from love that we create, not fear.

How would you advise people who wish to reconnect with their authentic power?

The first thing is to get out of fear. The second thing is to examine what is blocking you at the root. The third thing is to learn how to live in the moment. And the fourth is to be willing to align with your purpose.

Scarcity of self-value means many people often forget who they are. What is the greatest gift?

Every single day is the greatest gift. There is opportunity in every single day to be who you are. It’s a choice.

You are a master of manifesting. You write on angel awareness, intutitive cooking, channelled messages, and other topics. To what do you attribute true success?

How sweet. Thank you. True success is measured by what is in your heart, not in your wallet. We achieve true success by just doing what we came here to do. Sometimes that doesn’t show up as our current definition of success (money). And that’s ok. It’s when we go chasing after trying to “make” money that true success eludes us.

 What guidance can you offer people who commit to goals, but do not realize them?

Goals are a function of the mind and of the wants, needs, and desires of the ego. It’s not that they are bad or that we shouldn’t set goals. It’s just that this is not where we create. The energy of creation resides in the root, not in the mind. Goal setting and intention setting is and should be a form of alignment with our purpose. Anything else puts us in a position of getting in our own way.

Any additional thoughts or ideas you wish to share?

Yes. We’re definitely starting to get it. When the universal Law of Attraction filtered in here as the truth that it is, people took it as a way to get what they want. That’s not the purpose of it. The Law of Attraction is but one step in the process of manifesting and co-creating. So it was very important that we learn it. But now we need to take it a step further. We need to take everything several steps further.

Thank you Dyan for sharing these insights. It is reassuring to many human beings to realize the positive forces of angels are everywhere, and accessible to everyone who chooses to believe.

Where are you heading?

Upon meeting a Zen master at a social event, a psychiatrist decided to ask him a question that had been on his mind. "Exactly how do you help people?" he inquired, curious.

"I get them where they no longer ask more questions," the Master replied. "To have no queries is to find peace within."

All questions stem from illusion of discontent. Be present.

Dream jumper, dream walker or teleporter?

Analysis of dream submitted by Anonymous in Canada.

Dream- I walked beside a fast-moving river near trees. A familiar man walked across from me on the other side. I looked for a bridge. We found the bridge and met face-to-face.

Location shifted to an auditorium, I sensed two of four white walls around me were shields. A big man in dreadlocks turned out to hide a dog under his long coat. He thought dogs were forbidden in the hostel. He tried unsuccessfully to hide dog in a soda vending machine. I said he did not have to. He was glad.

Then, I turned, jumped through the wall and was in the kitchen of a friend. She had just remoddelled. White and brown cupboards lined wall opposite to the one I came through. Immaculate. She pulled out a sliding drawer. I saw man from bridge leaning against far wall. My friend did not see him.

Next, I walked through the wall to find myself in a stage dance show. No clue what I was doing there. Felt loss of control. Flashy costumes did not suit my personality. Energy was intense. I sensed roles shift at carnival. I wished myself away.

Note Dream body sensations & perceptions; weightlessness, movement, vision, shifting levels vitality

Interpretation-dreamwalking, jumping and teleporting are reality for certain beings. Teleportation is where physical matter is dematerialized at one point and recreated at another. This happens on the physical plane. Lighter energy moves in dream realms. Dreamwalking and jumping are possible was one grasps lucid dreaming. Presumed limits in the physical do not apply in other realms. You transcend logic and laws there.

As mind grasps the inner workings and sight of the higher or spiritual self, consciousness shifts. One view is every dream element reflects aspects of repressed or ignored inner selves. You give each object or feeling meaning. Another view is foreign entities or spirit take form and formless states to watch and sometimes help you.  Ask why you go where you go.

Dreams are like doorways to places where you explore abilities. To understand and experience more than one energy realm suggests you are never alone, whatever journeys you take. To note the presence of something or someone could be a shadow, ego, split soul or whatever else makes sense.

Different levels of conscious dreaming exist. These range from being aware you are dreaming to being able to control some dream actions, to ultimately disciplining capacities to control all dream events or environments. As a dreamer masters certain skills, he discerns how and when to take full control of dream events and when to not control or, to allow the subconscious mind to take charge. Every dreamer is a participant and observer to things not noticed by mental radar.

You cannot steal the Moon

Ryokan, a Zen master, lived the simplest kind of life in a little hut at the foot of a mountain. One evening a thief visited the hut only to discover there was nothing in it to steal.

Ryokan returned and caught him. "You may have come a long way to visit me," he told the prowler, "and you shoud not return emptyhanded. Please take my clothes as a gift."

The thief was bewildered. He took the clothes and slunk away.

Ryokan sat naked, watching the moon. "Poor fellow, " he mused, "I wish I could give him this beautiful moon."
