It really does keep you on the path

Well, I popped in the CD and started listening to it this morning. I thought that it would be another one of Dyer's great seminars or books on CD. All it is, is Dyer saying one inspirational statement after another after another after another. At first I thought it was kind of meaningless because it's stuff that I know already, and then also started thinking that there are so many sayings on this CD that I would never remember all of them. What good is it??! I was a little disappointed. Well, about 20 minutes into listening to it, I found myself talking back at the CD like "oh yeah, you know it..." and "that's a great saying." And I found that I was really enjoying it. I listened to all of the sayings that I could until I got to work, but here's the thing. I didn't remember all of them. BUT, I did remember the ones that I needed to remember. It's so great how it worked. Sidestepping - This morning I asked myself "OK, what can I do to control the ego today?". I told myself that I would do my stretches and exercises before going into work (which is something that I've never done in my entire life by the way) and then do a 4 lapper today on lunch around a small pond near my work (works out to be a little over a mile). I walked outside to go to work and saw that it was raining though... uh oh... After I got to work and lunchtime came, I heard my ego telling me, "It's raining. You don't need to go walking in the rain?! You can go tomorrow. It's not even that much exercise... walking... too little work to get wet over." This is what I was telling myself. I got up, grabbed my plastic poncho and went for my walk. I was the only one out there. People were looking at me funny. I didn't care one bit! I was having a blast! The ego isn't a bad thing though. It's there to do what it thinks is best. It's trying to keep me safe. I reassure to my ego that everything will be fine no matter what happens and what risks I take. I did that today on my walk, but what made my walk today so great were the little sayings that Dyer said on his CD. It lifted me up to a new level. I've been seeking lately and this CD really pushed me to the next level. I know that on that walk that I changed the color of my aura - permanently. I've become a higher energy person - permanently. Just because of this wonderful, wet, spiritual, and godlike walk. Get yourself a copy of this CD. Pop it in whenever you need to Stay on the Path.

Insightful Reminders

I have read several books by this author (Dr. Wayne Dyer), and have received a great number of insights and "food for thought" within the pages of each & every one. In this book, "Staying on the Path", Dr. Dyer sums up the most important insights into small sayings - each 1 to 2 sentences long. These insights remind us of such things as: we are more than our bodies, our lives reflect the choices we've made, our thoughts dictate what we find in ourselves & the world, and that love is what really matters. I read this book from front to cover first, and now I plan to take 1 saying per day or week to reflect on - to make it apart of a new "life habit". Overall, I found this book to be insightful & easy to read. As such, I would highly recommend it to anyone on a "spiritual journey", as well as those looking for thoughts/ideas that will help you to become the person you've always wanted to be - happy, fulfilled, and at peace with yourself and others...

Staying On The Path

An excellent source of "reminders" for those who are on this particular path to spiritual enlightenment.

Excellent little book for quick spiritual reminders

This is a great book for flicking through now and again for some enlightening tips on life. It has helped me considerably over the last few years. As with all of Wayne Dyer's writing, the style is easy to read, empowering, gentle and occasionally very funny. Many of the quotes and aphorisms are worth burning into your subconscious, ready for recall at times when one feels "less than empowered", or as extra positive inspiration for when things are already going well!...."When you argue for your limitations, all you get are your limitations" "Did you ever notice how difficult it is to argue with someone who is not obsessed with being right?" "The more you let go of people and things, the fewer obstacles you will have on your life's journey" "Being self-actualized means being able to welcome the unknown"And there's plenty more where they came from! The challenge, as always of course, is to try and consistently live these ideas. Wayne Dyer is an excellent starting point.

Gets Me to Work on Mondays!

When I can just barely drag myself into my car on Mondays, this tape is what keeps me going. It's a loosely strung-together array of Dr. Dyer's life-altering concepts, ideas that can wake you up and inspire you to take charge of your life even during the toughest of times. His advice got me through an agonizing career dilemma and back on the path to where I should have been headed all along. If you've got a nagging suspicion that you're life has already been decided for you, or if you're just not sure where you're headed, "Staying on the Path" ccould help you, too.
