Author Biography

Introduction of Chris & Daya Doolin Chris and Daya Devi-Doolin met while playing music on the streets of Philadelphia, PA. Chris came from a musical background of piano study and guitar performance in the folk/rock vein. Daya had learned to accompany herself on acoustic guitar while singing her original songs in club and other venues. Back during those days in Philadelphia, you could catch them 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, they continued together, were married, and the folk/country/inspirational duo, "Abraham's Seed" was born. For years, they performed in the Northeast, at colleges, coffeehouses, concerts, on radio and TV. They produced their first EP album, "Sides of Love" featuring the popular requested song, "Momma", which was reviewed in Billboard Magazine upon release in 1997. While performing music together on the street, Chris and Daya discovered they had an affinity for dreams, yoga and metaphysical spirituality. In 1986, they moved to Florida, and soon, "Abraham's Seed" sprouted into Level Seven (to become aka Level Seven later). Chris and Daya eventually opened a natural healing center, The Doolin Healing Sanctuary. They offer healing, yoga, spiritual counseling and conscious connected breathing to the community . In 1988, Daya was lifted up in consciousness and shown she would be writing a book called Vita-Minds." "What are Vita-Minds?" she asked? "Super energized thought forms," was the reply. Later, she was told the title would be Super Vita-Minds. The sub-title would be "How To Stop Saying I Hate You...To Yourself." The Doolins have continued with their music and have released 2 CD of our songs, meant to inspire and delight, entitled Level Seven and Smile America. Chris and Daya have a son Joseph and Daya has a son, Tyler R. Mitchell through a former marriage. The latest addition to their family is a mystical Sealpoint Siamese named Dune.
