Annie Lawrence Interviews Dyan Garris

You have permission from the author to post this article wherever you would like, with proper credit and in its entirety. Thank you.

Annie: I am sure that you are aware or watched Oprah and Eckhart Tolle’s webcasts. What do you feel keeps people in jobs they don’t enjoy, and holds them back from aligning with their purpose?

Dyan: Actually, I may be one of the few people who didn’t watch. I am aware, however, that Oprah was promoting “A New Earth.” More than one person has told me that our books are good companions. When people do things they don’t enjoy, they are usually doing so out of some kind of fear or fear based belief system. And fear and belief systems that were taught to people keep them from aligning with their true purpose.

Annie: Do you feel that self empowerment is a choice?

Dyan: Yes. Empowerment is a choice. There are no limitations unless you believe there are.

Annie: According to many spiritual sources there are more spiritually awake children on the planet right now than ever before—would you agree?

Dyan: Yes, I agree.

Annie: I am sure that you have heard about Crystal children and Indigo children (Spiritually awake children) what is your belief about why there are so many on the earth right now?

Dyan: I believe they have come in at this time to help balance the energies. They have come to help people remember who they really are and what they are really doing here. This can be accomplished through the love that these children bring with them. They are coming in without “amnesia,” and they are less veiled than others, therefore providing an opportunity for those around them to feel and remember the truth and the Love. We are moving toward ascension. These souls are here to help with that transition.

Annie: I have also heard that these children are having a hard time being in our schools systems and dealing with the diet that most are on. Do you feel that this has a relationship to all the ADD and ADHD drugs that children are on?

Dyan: These children learn differently. They learn in an integrative manner rather than a linear fashion. This is another reason they are here now. They are trying to teach about integrative learning. In our current system this would probably be labeled as learning disabled or attention deficit. Yes, I do believe this has a relationship. Our belief systems need to expand into a more multi-dimensional way of viewing things. There is nothing “wrong” with these children.

Annie: How can we support their empowerment and the awakening of A New Earth?

Dyan: I haven’t read “A New Earth.” However, to support the empowerment of all and the awakening that needs to happen here, we need to first get out of fear mode and release outmoded belief systems that no longer apply. To effect a shift we’re going to need to learn to integrate mind, body, and spirit. We need to expand our linear concepts. And that has to start on individual levels.


A really good example of what needs to happen is what I wrote about in my book “Money and Manifesting.” If you take the way the Law of Attraction is being applied – as a way for people to get what they want – and you expand that into the truth that the Law of Attraction is a function of the mind, rather than a total alignment of will and purpose, then you have the beginnings of understanding the type of shift that needs to be made. The Law of Attraction is only one step in the process of manifesting. It’s a universal law. The purpose is not for people to use this as a Santa Claus wish list. It’s meant to filter into mass consciousness as the beginning of learning how to integrate, align, and co-create.

Annie: Can you tell us how your music works to assist these children and all of us to balance our body, mind and spirit?

Dyan: I find that a great many children and young adults are resonating with my music. They understand and vibrate with the truth vibration. They feel it. They remember it. My music is designed to work on many different levels simultaneously. It’s a form of multi-dimensional integrational healing. So these children are naturally vibrating to these frequencies. My music is designed to bring together the layers of the etheric bodies and bring them into alignment with the physical and mental bodies. It’s automatic shift. It’s Automatic Chakra Balance.™ It works on a vibrational level. It’s not subliminal, but vibrational.

Annie: Why would you say that these children are not born into homes with parents that are not more spiritually awake and supportive?

Dyan: In some instances it is because the lesson in love is for the parents to remember who they are. A lot of these children remember who they are already. And these children can be a catalyst to the parents letting go of their own fears, doubts, and things that block their own spiritual development. And sometimes it’s because a lot more can be accomplished through adversity and conflict rather than totally smooth sailing. Without the darkness how can we remember, know, and appreciate the light? All really is a lesson in love. It just depends on perspective and what someone thinks they see in this illusion.

Annie: Could you speak about how you assist people to deal with old patterns and habits blocking their growth and empowerment and no longer serve their life?

Dyan: If you can get to the very root of what’s causing the challenge, you can shift it. A lot of people just don’t want to see that they are in their own way, even if you tell them in a psychic reading. Sometimes it’s just a simple matter of the way they are processing the information that is being brought forth. But there are a lot of different ways to get to the root of something. And we want to get to the root because this is where so many people are blocked in manifesting, spiritual growth, and in empowerment in general. They are blocked in the root chakra. So, after years of simply telling people what was in their way, I wanted to find a better method, a more automatic or effective way of helping them on different levels, and levels on which they could actually process and integrate what was in their way. Therefore, my music and meditations are designed to help people do this automatically. Each one is attuned to different chakra frequencies. My book “Money and Manifesting” is also designed for automatic energy shift. I did that by wrapping fiction around the information. A fictional story is processed with a different part of the brain than is non-fictional information. The effect of this is that it helps the brain to engage in the process of integration; and integration is a necessary step in manifesting. The other reason for this is because you can tell someone all day long they are in their own way and they won’t see it. However, if they can see it in someone else, such as a fictional character with a similar energy block, they then have a platform for growth and change.

Annie: If a visitor would like to experience your Angel cards can you tell them more about your cards and where they can experience a free reading?

Dyan: The cards were hand illustrated and developed in 1993/1994 and were originally made with crystals and other natural elements. Each is a scene from “A Healing Journey Guided Fantasy,” which is track seven on the first CD in my series. (“A Healing Journey-The Voice of the Angels” CD). Each card has a channeled message in quatrain verse. There is a journal available as well. Together, the cards, CD, journal are a form of integrative healing. Because the cards are not computer generated, they have completely different core energy than similar cards. They feel “alive” and they “speak.”

Free angel card readings are available at www.voiceoftheangels.com. I offer four free readings on the site. The actual deck comes with a 65 page instruction booklet that shows twelve ways to lay out the cards, more detailed descriptions and card meanings, and more. The free online card readings are also now available in Spanish and Russian. I’m excited about that!

Annie: Do you have a place where someone can down load a sample of your music? Can you explain how can assist someone with stress management?

Dyan: I have a fully downloadable MP3 music store. All samples are free to listen to. Downloads are also available at www.myspace.com/voiceoftheangels, www.cdbaby.com, www.itunes.com, and most other MP3 download sites.

We experience music through our feeling part of self rather than our thinking part of self. Stress comes from the outside and from the mind and then filters into the physical body. Music has the ability to relax the thinking part of ourselves that holds onto stress and allows the healing, soothing, relaxing frequencies into our energy field. Nothing is required other than simply listening and even that doesn’t have to be focused or mindful. We can listen and absorb without thinking about doing so.

Annie: Have you heard the reports that music was found to be more effective than placebo pills and some anti-depressant medications in dealing with depression and lifting moods? What is your experience with this?

Dyan: Yes. I have heard this. It’s true. Medications simply mask the real problem. They deal with the symptoms but not the root cause. Get to the root and you can start shifting things and opening a pathway. I find that a lot of people perceive the root cause to be very painful and therefore are unwilling to do the work associated with getting to the bottom of the real issue. Music and meditation are very gentle and effective ways start to unblock the core issues and begin to heal. And it’s definitely time to heal.
