History, mystery and profound inner transformation in the brush strokes of a mysterious painting...

At a Palm Beach auction house in 1950, Debra Lynn's grandmother, Ethel Cordelia Mount, is drawn to purchase a tiny religious-themed painting, from the estate of Joseph Early Widener, a founding benefactor of the National Gallery of Art. It would remain mostly unnoticed on a hidden space of wall, until discovered in 2009 gathering dust in the family garage.

In a moment of profound healing, Debra's father gives her this tiny work of art. Her lifelong interest in Grail history is immediately triggered by the hidden symbolism she sees in the unknown artist's structure. Compelled to investigate, the author embarks on a research journey with art conservators and scientists that is both slow and laborious.

As the mysterious painting reveals its secrets layer-by-layer, we witness the author's unwinding of personal challenges associated with the patterning from the dysfunctional distortion of alcoholism in her family's past. The parallel journey of discovery takes us across the globe, giving the reader a glimpse into the complex world of art research.

Putting pieces together like a proverbial puzzle, the author asks what historical truths have been buried in illusion and distortion? How might history have unfolded to create this powerful artwork that seemed to cause discomfort for the casual observer? How does this same need to look away parallel our emotional response to worldwide trauma today? How do we navigate life when all we hold dear crumbles and falls away? What does it mean to make a quantum leap to where Love All, Serve All lives?

At a time when humanity is facing its greatest challenges, Divine Mirror offers hope and insight into our personal power, as well as the consciousness required to help heal an ailing world.

Why did I write this book?

One day, I experienced effortless singing.

It was so easy, in fact, that I felt nothing but complete control. I had been singing an Italian exercise at the time (where else—in the shower). For what had seemed like an eternity to that point, despite having an undergraduate degree in voice performance, twenty years of lessons from six prominent teachers and an enormous financial investment in my journey, I had been struggling to sing well. And suddenly there I was, transforming from amateur to professional, in a light-bulb illuminating moment of understanding.

Many of us struggle to sing with ease. Yet we remain fascinated by those who do seem to possess the secret to powerful, effortless pitch-perfect singing, as the popularity of several reality television shows attests to. It seems our very souls want to sing.

What if I were to tell you that many of the challenges you’ve been having with your own singing have to do with
the language you speak and the way you talk? It is the piece of the vocal puzzle that is almost completely overlooked in mainstream music education.

The Bel Canto Buzz refers to a targeted sensation in the mouth, that when activated, stabilizes our singing and speaking issues, allowing us to remain better tuned and more accurate. We’re going to discover this spot together, exercise it and start you on your journey to effortless singing.

Throughout the book, I will share discoveries that we can easily make within our own body that can completely transform the process for you. Things like breathing support; note accuracy; high and low notes; strengthening our smooth quality of sound and how to overcome stage fright, as well as, how to practice.

As you read, you will find I share stories about others that have struggled to find their voice and how they broke through. If you have questions along the way or would like more personalized support, just look for me at DebraLynn.Org.

Happy Singing!!
