Next to Dr. Deepak Chopra, Dr. Wayne Dyer is, in my opinion, one of the greatest metaphysicians in modern times. I think I have everything the two of them have ever put out in books and videos.

In Dr. Dyer's book, Getting in the Gap, he has some ideas he expresses about meditation that I think are important:

* "There is no such thing as a bad meditation. Anytime you spend in silence is valuable, even if your inner voice is persistent and loud. Don't judge, just observe."

* "With time your inner dialogue will shut down. We all know that mastery is seldom achieved without practice. Meditation is no exception. Perhaps that is why it's called practice."

* "There is no right or wrong time to meditate. Each of us finds our most comfortable time of the day, so don't try to do this on someone else's schedule."

* "There is no correct meditation length. A few moments can be nurturing."

* "There is no correct posture or place for meditating. Find what makes you comfortable and trust it. Sitting, lying down, kneeling-whatever works for you is the perfect posture."



Dragonflower Meditation Tip:

In a quiet place, in whatever position is most comfortable, close your eyes and put all of your attention on your breathing. Just relax and focus on your breath. Do not force it, but try to breath slowly and deeply from your abdomen rather than high chest breathing.

After focusing on your breathing for a few minutes, just relax and breath as you would normally. Let your thoughts float by without focusing on them. Just take the next few minutes as your time to do nothing but relax.

Take a few minutes today and everyday to just breath
