Please tell us a little bit about yourself.
At this point in life, I’d say I’m a spiritual adventurer with a good sense of humor. I was blessed with a long marriage and two daughters, who are now busy raising their families. After my husband died suddenly four years ago, I had to start a whole new, single life. I’m now living in Hawaii and loving it. Besides the tropical weather, beautiful beaches, and green volcanic hills, I love the spiritual freedom here. I take classes in energy healing, Hawaiian traditions, and meet people from all over the world.
I’ve been a Reiki master for a few years and have been fascinated by what I call “supernal living” or multidimensional living. Prayer and meditation has become a daily practice that has opened up awareness of energies and spiritual connection. I follow my intuitive guidance and see what adventures each day might bring.
Please tell us about your latest book. 
Supernal Adventures: Exploring the New Normal of Multidimensional Living grew out of a series of notebooks I kept over the course of ten years. In 2005 my friend, Paula, was healed through Reiki energy healing of a supposedly incurable, miserable disease called RSD (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome). Rather than simply taking that as a “miracle,” she and her sister, Sue, and I decided to explore energy healing, quantum physics, alternative medicine and related subjects to learn more about what actually happened to Paula. That began a remarkable journey and amazing experiences for the three of us. As a writer, I felt compelled to record what I witnessed in journals. Over the course of time, I realized we had been exploring many areas or esoteric study–energy healing, past life therapy, pre-life planning, channeling and several more. Supernal Adventures uses our personal experiences captured in the notebooks as the thread to explore these subjects that may be new to many readers.
Does this book fit into a series? What is the focus of that series?
Yes, this is book two of the “Supernal Living” Series. Book One, Ever-Flowing Streams: Christ, Reiki, Reincarnation and Me is my personal spiritual memoir. My own startling Reiki healing forced me to develop a whole new world view. We’re living in a time when people are breaking through old thinking and seeking spiritual growth. Supernal Living books are part of the growing genre of visionary writing.
What’s next for you?
I’m sure Hawaii will be a major influence in the next book. My journaling continues with experiences, poems, and vivid impressions. The next book hasn’t quite yet risen from the depths of my psyche, but I’m sure it is starting to take form at some level. In the mean time, I am enjoying the Aloha spirit.

“We’re living in a time when people are breaking through old thinking and seeking spiritual growth. Supernal Living books are part of the growing genre of visionary writing.” So true, Dana. Your path of following your intuitive guidance and seeing what adventures each day might bring sounds like the perfect “medicine” for good mental and physical health. As well as your daily practice of opening up to “awareness of energies and spiritual connection.” Your books are a gift to the world.
Lovely interview, Theresa and Dana. Thank you. It’s wonderful that you didn’t take the miracle healing for granted, Dana. If it can occur once, it can occur many times. “And, why not?” asks the visionary. Well done! I wish you much happiness, peace, and success with your ongoing adventures.
We are so fortunate to have you both in our midst! I loved your spiritual memoir, Dana, and look forward to reading the others. Thanks to Theresa for hosting the interview.
