Guided Relaxing Meditation with Affirmations

Apollo Brown -Tao Te Ching-

Dr. Wayne Dyer - Live flowing with the Tao Te Ching mashed up with B A L M O R H E A, a minimalist instrumental ensemble.  Influenced by Ludovico Einaudi, The Six Parts Seven, Claude Debussy, Ludwig van Beethoven, Rachel's, Gillian Welch, Max , Arvo Pärt and John Cage.

Dyer worked as a high school guidance counselor in Detroit and as a professor of counselor education at St. John's University in New York City.[1] He pursued an academic career, published in journals and established a private therapy practice. His lectures at St. John's, which focused on positive thinking and motivational speaking techniques, attracted many students. A literary agent persuaded Dyer to document his theories in his first book called Your Erroneous Zones. Dyer quit his teaching job and began a publicity tour of the United States of America, doggedly pursuing bookstore appearances and media interviews ("out of the back of his station wagon", according to Michael Korda, making the best-seller lists "before book publishers even noticed what was happening", which eventually led to national television talk show appearances including Merv Griffin, The Tonight Show, and Phil Donahue.
