DR. WAYNE DYER
Remembered by His Teacher by Greg Schweitzer
W
ayne Dyer passed away recently and I have been grieving since the news was released by his family. This man
has been a source of inspiration to me since we met over 20 years ago when he enrolled in my meditation classes. That first encounter was at the Maharishi Ayurvedic Health Center, in Lancaster, Massa- chusetts. Deepak Chopra, M.D., was the clinical director of the center, and I directed guest services and taught medita- tion courses to the “guests” who wished to learn. Wayne was a good friend of Deepak’s, and he was eager to participate in the meditation course. The year was 1992, and I became his teacher. Over the next week of daily meetings and conversations, I grew close to the man who before this, I only admired from afar. For a teacher, this was as good as it gets! Wayne was a most gracious and playful guest. I recall fondly polling the center’s staff for ice skates so that he could enjoy the frozen pond on our property. Wayne knew that ice skating was bending the rules for guests of the healing center, but anyone who knew Wayne Dyer understood how he felt about such rules. He later smiled and told me the skating was terrific. Wayne was also generous, freely sharing his gifts and
talents while acknowledging others for their contributions. On occasions when I attended conferences where he deliv- ered keynotes and programs, he told audiences that I was his first meditation teacher. When he learned of my interest in writing, he warmly offered his endorsement and assistance in getting my book published. Wayne was easy to love. Despite his age and health challenges, Wayne was a
tireless promoter of living life with high levels of con- sciousness. He loved meditation and always encour- aged everyone to take up the practice. For over 40 years, Wayne taught us how to be happy and fulfilled. Many refer to him as the father of motivation. Anyone who has benefited from any of Wayne’s writings or talks
will enjoy reading his last book, a memoir, published by Hay House in 2014, I Can See Clearly Now. It may be the best of his 40-plus books. Wayne will be deeply missed. Of some comfort to those left behind is a statement released by his family. “Wayne always said that he couldn’t wait for his next adventure to begin, and he had no fear of death.” Fortunately for all, you can be sure that Wayne Dyer is
now on the other side, loving us, and enjoying himself im- mensely. I feel blessed to have known him.
