Back in Philadelphia, you could catch us day and night at 16th & Chestnut, or on South street, playing to large crowds with the five-piece acoustic funk band "Street Players". When this group dissolved, we continued together, were married, and the folk/country/inspirational duo, "Abraham's Seed" was born. For years, we performed in the Northeast, at colleges, coffeehouses, concerts, on radio and TV. We produced our first EP album, "Sides of Love" featuring the popular requested song, "Momma", which was acknowledged in Billboard Magazine.
In 1986, we moved to Florida, and soon, "Abraham's Seed" sprouted into Level Seven.
In 1985, we were introduced to an additional world for focusing and increasing our spiritual awareness. A Course in Miracles Study Group called to us and we answered. We eventually became ACIM facilitators for several groups of committed students. It opened us up to the great healing powers of the universe. We wrote our first joint book on the language of dreams and their meaning, called Hidden Manna. We sold it via mail-order after taking an ad out with Whole Life Times Magazine.
Through an illness Daya had in 1986 she was told she would have to have surgery. Through prayers, she was led to discover and experience spiritual, natural healing without surgery. Her complete healing led her to study & receive training and certification in the first level of Usui Reiki Natural Healing. One year later, she received training in the 2nd Degree Level of Reiki and another year later, on to receive Certification, Attunement and Training in the 3rd Degree, Master Teacher Level. Chris has received training and certification in Reiki Levels I and II. We have both received Training and experience in Rebirthing and Loving Relationship Training based on the method of Internationally known Author and Rebirther, Sondra Ray.
Chris and I were eventually told through Spirit we would be opening a natural healing center. We call it The Doolin Healing Sanctuary. There we offer a variety of alternative holistic methods of training, healing, classes and workshops which lead to healing and spiritual growth. We offer free introductions to Reiki, Yoga, Power of Thought and Rebirthing. We offer sessions in Yoga, group Rebirthing, individual Rebirthing, Reiki healing, Reiki I, II, & III attunements, Intuitive Counseling and Prosperity Workshops
In 1988, I was lifted up in consciousness and shown I would be writing a book. Spirit's Voice said, "It will be called Vita-Minds." "What are Vita-Minds?," I asked? "Super energized thought forms," was the reply. Later, I was told the title would be Super Vita-Minds. The sub-title would be "How To Stop Saying I Hate You...To Yourself." I started the actual writing in 1989. I designed the cover, designed the back cover, listing 12 chapters and the topic of each chapter, not even knowing how each topic would be filled.
Then I went to chapter one and started filling in the information Spirit would have me write. I channeled much of the book. At one point after I had a friend edit it for me and negative energy was injected into the situation. I was discouraged by the comments made about the title and the information in it. I declared it was too hard to complete and put it away until 1997 when it was seriously impressed upon me it must be completed this year. I jumped right in with no hesitation this time. All negativity had been swept away for me and I began receiving the information with new fervor.
I designed the cover anew, the back cover was changed and everything was pretty much "effortless". When I had questions about how it was going to be funded, I was told it was taken care of, "Not to worry!" And so it was. Every question I would have, "Not to worry!" was the reply. And so it was. My book was completed and published by August 1998. It was into the public's hands and flying out of our local headquarters of Padaran Publications by early September. It's now in the four corners of the United States and around the world. Every week another portal is opened for Super Vita-Minds to flow into.
We have continued with our music and are releasing a new CD of our songs, meant to inspire and delight, entitled Level Seven. We also perform with the magical musical productions of Steve Reel and SkyEarth. Locally in Central Florida, you can see us perform with the variety world cover band, The Reels.
Chris and I have a son Joseph Paul Doolin who is 11 yrs old and I have an older son, Tyler R. Mitchell through a former marriage. We have two beautiful dogs, an eclectic Welch Corqui named Prissy Princess and Pookie, who is a black and white paw Labrador mix. Our latest addition is a Sealpoint Siamese named Dune.
