There have been dozens of medical and psychological studies showing the many benefits of meditation. From stress reduction to renewed energy, peak performance to physical health, meditation can enhance our entire being when practiced regularly. In Getting in the Gap: Making Conscious Contact with God Through Meditation, Dr. Wayne Dyer introduces a powerful form of meditation known as Japa. Essentially, Japa means, “to say the name of God repeatedly.” Spiritual traditions and texts worldwide encouraged the practice of meditating on the name of God. Dyer notes that the sound “ah” is found in the name Allah, Krishna, Jehovah, Ra, Yeshua (Jesus), and other divinities. When repeated as a mantra, this sound keeps us in a prolonged state of conscious contact with our Source. Some of the wisdom Dyer shares in this book includes:

• There’s a spiritual energy that connects every thing and every one in the universe. This is the one power that is called by many names, all of which contain the creation sound of ah. When we practice the repetition of this sound and focus on its meaning, it leads us to inner realignments where we begin the process of attracting into our life what appeared to be missing…but which we were spiritually connected to all along.
• The fact is, once you become accustomed to regular meditation, you’ll enjoy the discipline so much that you’ll find yourself making it a top priority in your life. You’ll feel so great after meditation that you won’t want to deny yourself this reward.
• The mantra of ah, along with the exercise of The Lord’s Prayer to enter the gap, is designed to help you retrain your mind…With practice, you’ll find that transcending your haphazard thoughts is just as natural as eating with your right hand.

This book includes a guided meditation CD with two versions of Japa meditation sounded by Dyer—a longer track and a shorter track. Getting in the Gap book with CD will show you:

• How to meditate with the sound of creation—the “ah” in the name of God
• How to use Japa meditation to tame the “monkey mind” and connect to Source energy
• How to tap into the power to attract anything into your life
