On August 29th 2015, Wayne Dyer passed on. He has been a leading figure for nearly 40 years in the New Thought movement - a century-old spiritual school of thought that believes God is everywhere, individuals have the divine spirit within themselves, and one's thinking has the power to change one's world or heal disease. Here are my favorite quotes of his, to not only remember a phenomenal human being, but to help motivate and inspire you to continue his legacy.

This podcast is about what God is, and prayer. Two mysterious and intangible concepts, but I feel sense can be made of them. Personally, I believe in prayer. For me, that means to communicate with sincerity my gratitude for what I am experiencing, what I am learning, what I want to be manifested in the name of love, and to request inner knowing of whatever I want to know. And here I offer my interpretation of The Lord's Prayer, followed by an article by Gregg Braden, How Do You Pray?
