Guest blogger Dyan Garris, author of Money and Manifesting

I am giving up the floor today (see how generous I can be) to author Dyan Garris. For many years Dyan Garris has been counseling clients in order to help them move forward in their lives. She is clairvoyant, clairaudient, and clairsentient. In addition, Dyan is also what is known as a voice recognition psychic and trance channel. This means that she can help her clients via telephone, which is how she conducted her readings throughout her career. She is a frequent radio guest on the Jay Grayce show at Tribeca Radio in New York City and has been interviewed by numerous other radio hosts. Recently, Mystic Pop Magazine interviewed her for their January/February issue. Living In Style TV featured her products in their 2007 holiday show.

Bowing out now, though you know it's hard for me.



Think Outside The Box - How Limited Beliefs and Fear Keep Us From Getting What We Want By Dyan Garris

What we believe definitely has power to shape our lives. The chatter that goes around in your head definitely has power to shape your life. But this is only part of the story. Ultimately it’s what you DO with your belief system that has power to transform your life.

For illustrative purposes, let’s say you live in a box. The inside of the box is cozy and comfortable. You’re happy in there. But the box has no windows. One day you decide you need to broaden your horizons so you gingerly cut a large hole in the side of the box. This gives you a very nice view of what is going on outside your living quarters. You gaze out in wonder from the safety of your little dwelling and you can see leafy green trees and other interesting shrubbery.

After a while you decide to expand your view so you cut a hole in the opposite side of the box. Now you have yet another view of the outside world. Out of this window you can see horses grazing peacefully right outside your box. You are amazed. You had no idea this was going on outside.




At some point you decide to open an additional portal on another side of the box. You’re a little scared by this because you now think you may be cutting too many holes in your abode. You begin to doubt yourself and start thinking that you may be making a place for rain to get in rather than expanding your view. You worry and fret about compromising the structural integrity of your box. But then you tell yourself that it worked out just fine on the other sides, so what could possibly go wrong?

You tell yourself that if you don’t cut the additional hole you do have a nice view out of two windows and maybe that’s just fine. But you’ve decided that you don’t want to be limited anymore; you want to see what else is going on out there. So you gather your courage and do it anyway. Now you have a completely different view. You can see a beautiful lake out there. You are in awe. You decide to do this on the remaining side too, this time with enthusiasm instead of fear. Now you have a panoramic view. It’s lovely and enjoyable and you are quite pleased with yourself for taking a few chances.

Some of you reading this were thinking that something bad was going to happen with all of this hole cutting. What is this based on? Why is your mind going to the negative? Study where these negative belief systems have originated from. Fear is very limiting and will keep you from getting what you desire.

Now here is what is important: You can sit there inside the box for the rest of your life, simply enjoying the view, or you can venture outside. You will discover that when you go outside you can ride the horses to greener pastures, eat the luscious ripe berries from the shrubbery, fish and/or swim in the lake. If you stay inside you can’t do any of that. You can sit in there and wonder when a fish will jump out of the lake and land on top of your box or when fresh berries will arrive at your doorstep. It is a choice.

Author Dyan Garris Takes the Floor

Intuitive cooking is something that I know absolutely nothing about. So, today I will try to be quiet and let the expert tell us what she knows. Author Dyan Garris Dyan Garris has been counseling clients in order to help them positively move forward in their lives. She is clairvoyant, clairsentient, and clairaudient. In addition, Dyan is also what is known as a voice recognition psychic and trance channel. This means that she can help her clients via phone, which is how she conducted her readings throughout her career.

Growing up in Illinois, Dyan became aware of her clairvoyance, and other gifts, at a very young age. She spent years learning how to appropriately use these gifts for good and to help others.

In 2005 she created a CD series of music and meditation for self-healing, relaxation, chakra balancing, and vibrational attunement. Her interest in music began as a child. A blind piano teacher taught her to “feel” music and “see” through different eyes and influenced her at a young age. Dyan continued her music studies with the violin. Through the violin, she learned how easily music vibrates throughout the body and, hence, all of the chakras. This was her first lesson of how the power of music and sound could be used for healing.

In the early 1990s, Dyan launched a jewelry business custom designing and manufacturing Austrian crystal earrings and healing bolos. Even in this work, she continued to use her special gifts for her client’s benefits. The healing bolos were custom made with stones such as crystal, onyx, hematite, jade and rose quartz. Each came with a channeled poem specifically for the person who commissioned the item. The bolos were designed to be worn over the heart chakra as a form of healing, as well as protection.

She eventually re-focused her life on home, family, spiritual counseling, and teaching meditation and energy classes. Music was incorporated in her classes as a method of sound healing as well as an effective method for opening and balancing the chakras.

In 2005, while sitting at the piano, she heard specific songs and titles coming from her psychic connections. Writing them down as fast as she could, the result was A Healing Journey – The Voice of the Angels CD. This is the first in the series designed for self-healing and vibrational attunement of the mind, body and spirit. There are six CDs in the series. A new release, titled, “Release,” will be available September 24th and is available at www.voiceoftheangels.com/store/12/6 or http://www.cdbaby.com/dyangarris6.

She is the author and developer of Voice of the Angels – A Healing Journey Spiritual Cards. These are a 30 card deck of Angel Cards based upon scenes from A Healing Journey-Guided Fantasy, which is the guided meditation found on the last track of A Healing Journey-The Voice of the Angels CD. Each card has its own channeled message in verse from the Angels.

Her new book, Voice of the Angels Cookbook – Talk to Your Food! – Intuitive Cooking is now available at her website http://www.voiceoftheangels.com/ and http://www.amazon.com/. This is an adventure in opening the creative centers and communicating with your food so that it can transform from raw ingredients into what truly nourishes you on every level. The book includes twelve food-related channeled messages and several “Intuitively Speaking” paragraphs, which explain how to prepare the recipe using one’s own unique creativity.

See, I told you I couldn't stop talking. Here's Dyan:



Voice of the Angels Cookbook – Talk To Your Food! – Intuitive Cooking by Dyan Garris
The book comes with a warning: This is real food! And it is. A variety of original recipes are included, from sinfully rich cheesecake and “Love Bars” to “Healing Soup,” easy fish recipes, hearty stews, and colorful skillet suppers. The author’s Greek heritage shines though in such recipes as “Easy Baklava Roll-Ups.” The book includes twelve food-related channeled messages such as “The Secret Recipe of Life,” and “Ode to Popcorn,” and several “Intuitively Speaking” paragraphs, which explain how to make the recipe using one’s own unique creativity. This is not just an ordinary cookbook. It is an adventure in exploration and opening up one’s creative centers.

Soup and Sandwich © 2007 Dyan Garris
You get invited to a picnic and are asked to bring something. You decide you will bring soup and sandwich. As you begin to make the food, your poverty consciousness (the consciousness that tells you that you don’t have enough) kicks in and you decide that you can only afford to bring one half of a sandwich and no soup. So that is what you do. On the way there, you eat part of the sandwich yourself, because you feel entitled to do so. When you get there, no one wants to share it with you and you tell yourself that your sandwich must somehow be inferior, all the while thinking to yourself that you made it with good intentions, so you do not understand what the problem is. While you are talking about yourself to someone and not paying attention, the sandwich falls to the ground and ants become interested in it. You tell yourself that these kinds of things always happen to you and you do not understand why. What you are missing is that if you were paying attention, if you covered the sandwich or if you made sure it was in a place where it wouldn’t fall carelessly to the ground, you would still have it and be able to enjoy it or share its enjoyment with others, even if it is only one half of what it could be. This is self-sabotage.

OPEN FACE TUNA MELT © 2007 Dyan Garris
Super easy! Serve over noodles with cheese sauce or on rye bread.

1 pound fresh raw Ahi tuna, cut up
1 T olive oil
1 T onion powder
Dash or two of garlic salt
Seafood spice blend
1/4 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded or grated
1/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded or grated
2 to 4 slices rye bread, toasted
__________________
In food processor, pulse tuna with olive oil and spices. Stir in cheeses. Shape into patties. Fry in olive oil in skillet until tuna is cooked rare, medium, or well done (to your taste). Place on toasted rye bread and pour cheese sauce over top. Or serve on noodles or rice and pour cheese sauce over top. Delicious!*

* One might want to add onions, or use a different blend of cheese, or completely different seasonings, serve it on a different kind of bread or over noodles or rice. If we listen to what our physical body wants, our food can transform from raw ingredients to what truly nourishes us on every level.

Cheryl's note: Dyan included a beautiful picture of this tuna melt, but Blogger and I couldn't get it posted.
