Darya sits in the warm grey light of a bright window. The New Jersey sun is diffused as it passes through thin, soft curtains, partially drawn. She looks at the camera, with bright wide eyes. The sort of eyes that follow me and seem to penetrate my soul, as if I’m actually sitting in a room with her. She smiles a subtle smile but that’s insignificant. Her eyes and face seem to radiate a positive energy that takes the notion of smiling beyond rudimentary muscle reactions and physical gestures and onto something much deeper.
A red dog stands beside her staring deep through the camera lens as alive and intently as Darya. He’s a rare Egyptian Pharaoh dog. He seems more like an old soul than a family pet as he sits pharaoh-esque, his pensive eyes framed by stiff ears, pricked up to capture sound. Probably attentive to the photographer’s whistle when the photo was captured. The dog commands attention as did the Egyptian God Anubis who bore the head of the same breed.
Darya works on an artistic creation that lies flat on the table in front of her. Four kinds of polished amethyst create a circle so symmetrical you’d think it wasn’t done by hand. An ancient and sacred geometry seems to guide her right hand which holds some sort of tool. Around the canvas lie piles of amethysts of different density, size and depth of color. They’re beautiful and create such an augmented variety of deep purple as they reflect the light from the window. Darya’s hand glides over the piles of precious gems under the watchful eye of the old-soul dog as she intricately builds incredible pieces of art. I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s not mosaic, it’s not painting, the best I can describe it is as jewelry to hang on walls but, even that description doesn’t seem to do it justice and doesn’t capture the depth of what Darya seems to be creating.
It’s the same art that I was drawn to, just a week ago. I Skyped with Darya’s husband Alec. As he told me this incredible story of his wife, I was constantly drawn to a creation hanging on the wall in the upper left corner behind him. Even on the poor resolution of Skype bouncing off satellites from one side of the globe to another, I felt drawn to this creation and couldn’t take my eyes off it. Now I realize why.
As Alec explained Darya’s story to me, I learnt of new concepts and names such as Dolores Cannon, Bashar, sacred geometry as well as some familiar chestnuts like the Law of Attraction, meditation, frequency of thoughts and more. As I heard this story, these incredible mystic puzzle pieces floated on Alec’s voice and across ones and zeroes into my headset. At that point, I realized that this wasn’t an ordinary story. I realized that what I was working on here was something incredible.
Initially parts of the story seemed to drift around and refused to be tethered and bound by the naive concepts of time. Instead, what I learnt, is that this story is a series of ideas and experiences that are mystical, ancient and significant. Dolores Cannon herself said that time is irrelevant, as have many other philosophers, physicists and scientists. Dolores speaks of how the extraterrestrials (ETs) as she calls them told her tongue-in-cheek that humans are the only species who have managed to spend so much effort on measuring something that doesn’t exist… Time. So, once I broke free of the secular shackles of time and chronology, I was able to truly appreciate the story of Darya and her higher purpose in this world.
After the meeting with Alec, I felt inspired. I went back through my notes and looked up Dolores Cannon on YouTube. I sat watching this incredible wise soul tell of her experiences she’s had whilst taking people into a deep hypnosis. She took people into a plane of the subconscious that most hypnotherapists are too afraid to delve into. A place so deep, so raw, so vibrant that the conscious mind dissolves, and the subconscious spills secrets of incredible worlds and universes. Stories of things that would never experience with our 5 basic senses.
Dolores would confidently take people here and instigates past-life regressions. During these sessions, she spoke to beings from a higher realm who would tell her things you wouldn’t believe.
For me, Dolores seemed to tie together a lot of ideas and concepts I’ve dealt with in the past. Everything from Eckhart Tolle to Aristotle and modern day quantum physicists like Stephen Hawking. Perhaps, if you just walked into a Dolores Cannon lecture off the street, you’d think it was absurd. But, in the context of the way that science and religion are morphing and sparking into a brilliant fire of proving there’s a higher intelligence, Dolores’s ideas make sense. Her words tie together famous messages of Buddha, Jesus, Nostradamus and more and I felt her middle age softness and wisdom as she sat, nonchalantly on stage, trying to fit her incredible insights and experiences into words and descriptions about how our world and universe work.
Watching Dolores, I felt that, words and language weren’t sufficient to capture her experiences and whilst what she said was fascinating, it was her doing her best to describe her experiences and encouraging others to go straight to the source and experience the same.
Perhaps, this is the same reason Darya creates works of art. Words are too logistical, too base, too insignificant to communicate the ideas of the universe. Through using ancient, precious gems and sacral symbols designs, she’s able to better communicate what lies beyond our basic world of perception and create something truly unfathomable.
So, why Dolores Cannon? Well, Darya was a student of Dolores and this is one piece of the puzzle, perhaps one of the most important. After sitting up late watching YouTube, I emailed Alec back a series of questions. A way to try and dig deeper and visualize and understand more about Darya.
As I read Alec’s answers, I began to visualize and see this story come together. I saw Darya as a young child. Intense and curious. A wisdom far beyond her physical naïve years. An old, wise soul in a young body, primed for a purpose on this planet. She knew there’s something more. Even though she didn’t realise exactly what it was yet, she felt a sense of greatness, and wonder. An almost irritating energy that would drive her to not accept the mundane and an energy that forced her onto a path of discovery that’s simply incredible.
Knowing that there’s so much more to the universe and perhaps without anyone to express her inner desires to, Darya became close to animals. There she would sit as a child surrounded by animals of all kinds. Darya had probably every pet you could imagine. However, unlike most kids, Darya wasn’t simply an animal person who loved keeping pets. Animals were drawn to her. Particularly animals who were sick and needed healing. It would be some years later before Darya realised why, and many more years before she sits and the table with the stiff eared Pharaoh dog, the old animal soul that connects with her.

Several strange things happened in Darya’s childhood. Events that molded and created the spiritual person that she is now and, nothing is by accident. From the age of 8, Darya started drawing an eye. Over and over again she kept scribbling and intense eye with a big, focused pupil. Almost like a subconscious habit, she would draw it again and again.
A mirror image of two identical semicircles made up the eye that became a theme of her younger years. But why? Why an eye, why such symmetry from a young girl?

Alec stands in the garage under a dull light. He works on a new batch of Rose-De-France amethyst. Darya has requested this to create her latest piece. She needs a full spectrum of Devine hues from lilac to purple, violet and deep purple. This is what goes in to every creation. Under the dust and dirt, there’s pure purple crystals. Crystals capable of facilitating higher frequencies and metaphysical communication. Alec places them in his tumbler and powers it on. The amethyst swirls and spins in a loud staccato. Like heavy, uneven rain drops, the rocks clack and tumble with the outside of the machine. The machine spins at a constant high frequency, causing friction between gems and grit. A slow and deliberate process of friction that polishes the gems. The high frequency of vibrations causes more impurities fall off leaving clean, precious crystals behind. Only the amethyst can withstand such turbulence. But, after all, as I’ve learnt through this story, turbulence produces beautiful gems.

It’s a normal day of seemingly, no special significance. Darya receives an email from a relative. This relative, being a highly spiritual person, recommends that Darya watch an inspiring YouTube video on an otherworldly past-life regressionist, Dolores Cannon. Darya clicks the link and is awe-struck by this humble, beautiful sprit speaking to her from her computer browser.
What Dolores speaks of is so extravagant, so ‘out there’ yet, it connects with Darya on a deep, perhaps subconscious, level. Something is familiar about what she speaks of. Darya’s watching a stranger, someone she’s never met, describe her past life, her origins and ultimately her purpose on this earth as a ‘star child’. She doesn’t know all this yet. Like drawing the childish all-seeing eye, it would be a while before Darya can learn what this all means. However, for now there’s something incredibly strange yet familiar about Dolores’s words as she’s taken on a spiritual YouTube journey to learn about the secrets of the universe.

After many nights of YouTube, Darya finally attends a Dolores Cannon’s session in Arkansas. Here, she learns how to dive down with people, down through the dark levels of the subconscious mind and into a bright realm. A strange plane of existence where the conscious mind is completely locked out. A place to shut out mental noise, thoughts, logic and everything we think we ‘know’. A place to sit and have a one on one conversation with the subconscious mind. A space free from depression, anxiety and suffering. Darya harnesses her skill and is able to enter this space on-demand. She’s able to have a talk, a drink, a laugh, a cry with the universe and the original ‘source’.
You may call this source ‘God’ but, I find that has connotations that aren’t as significant as what we’re actually talking about here. The word ‘God’ suggests a naive notion of heaven and hell, good and bad, punishment, incense, old hymns and Sunday mornings on hard wooden benches listening to an unenlightened human tell you how you should behave in this world.
What Darya learns is far more significant than some Sunday school base interpretation of the Bible. She learns of other worlds, other vibrational frequencies and stories of past lives. She is forever changed, finally fulfilling this strange yet familiar purpose as a star child on this planet. She can never go back now.
Darya begins to see and hear things that quite simply, can’t be explained. Things that, only now, modern science is starting to uncover and perhaps scratch the surface with exploration into quantum physics. She now knows some of the secrets of the universe and is able to use this knowledge to help and heal others. She uses this higher vibrational energy to heal everything from stray cats from the local animal shelter to people who still seem infected with negativity from past lives and need to be released. She learns that she herself, doesn’t have a past life. She is what Dolores calls a ‘Star Child’. This means that she came straight from the source voluntarily to help the earth transition to a new, enlightened earth.
This explains her energy and discontent as a child. It explains her yearning for more. She was never meant to be tied down by the secular world most of us live in. She was always meant for so much more.

The puzzle pieces are starting to blend together. However, just like words and language are too base to describe the knowledge that Darya and Dolores Cannon learn, so too are they inadequate to even tell this story! The most incredible aspect of this story is Darya’s art.
Her creations radiate in a way that can’t be explained. Every single amethyst used feels like it’s been drenched in all the positive energy and power from higher realms. These creations seem charged as they emanate incredible positive energy from simple walls. So intricate, yet simple, you need to feel these pieces, not just see them. If you’re lucky enough to have one on your wall, it will change your life. It’s impossible that it won’t. When Darya delves so deep into the spirit and subconscious she brings something back to the ‘real’ world with her… Something sacred. This is what goes into her creations, causing owners of her art to experience the deep mysteries of the universe unstop-ably flowing from their own walls. Incredible.

People who have Darya’s creations on their walls have experienced wonderful, strange things. They’ve been lifted to a higher vibration and seen their lives’ turn around. As if their own worlds have changed to match the same vibrational frequency of the gems that are infused with Darya’s connection to the universe. They are, at the least, best described as Jewelry for Walls.
However, really, they are a beautiful portal. A doorway into a deep realm. A realm that you know but don’t remember. A time when we were all with the source. They’re a reminder of our true, yet forgotten purpose in the school of earth. If you do nothing but hang it on your wall, you will experience a lift in frequency. You’ll feel a greater connection with the universe. Everything suddenly feels in sync. There’s no friction, no grit. Your life becomes polished and pure. You feel full of energy and like the gems on your wall, you radiate this to others as you transition to the new earth. An incredible, beautiful place where we as humans and the universe exist beautifully in sync, free of pain.
