“I discovered the secret of the sea in meditation upon the dewdrop.” Spiritual Sayings by Kahlil Gibran
It was a chilly damp Saturday in Vancouver as I strolled the streets with my broken umbrella. I have a few days off and a seemingly impossible list of things to do. I feel blue melancholy with a hints of hopelessness. I feel the dull beat of my heart in the succumbing presence of my being. Sad tears tapping down letters and words from its beat. Nonsensical music fluttering out of my pores. Disdainful thoughts of nothing more. Blackening tremors of firth. A loveless day. In hopes of lifting my spirits, I perused the used book stores looking for inspiration, something to bring new hope; maybe even an omen. Looking to enlighten my own sad day. Only one author comes to mind, Kahlil Gibran, who writes pure stark beauty for the soul.

“Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into.” Wayne Dyer
When it comes to audio tapes: Dr. Wayne Dyer is king. About 3 weeks ago, I accidentally spilled water on my laptop, and as a result I lost some extremely valuable information. Most notably, along with pictures and unfinished work, I lost all my Wayne Dryer audio tape collection. So on a recent trip to the book store, I picked up a copy Dr. Wayne Dyer’s book, Getting into the Gap, which included a free meditation CD. Getting into the Gap is a great introduction to meditation; and the world of Wayne Dyer. So I thought I would share his practical guidance for meditation and a summary of his nine spiritual principles here on E.Y.D. Dr. Dyer is an internationally renowned speaker and author of over 30 books, and I highly recommend his audio tapes to my readers.
Dr. Wayne Dyer’s practical guide to meditation:
“Connect to the divine Source with unconditional love. This principles creates an awareness of the significance of accepting your manifestations with absolute love.” Dr. Dyer
1.) 
“There’s no such thing as a bad meditation. Any time you spend time in silence is valuable, even if your inner voice is persistent and loud. Don’t judge it; just observe it. Simply observe yourself sitting there, and when a stray thought suddenly appears, just note it, and use its presence as a reminder to go back to the gap.”
