Book Reviews of Awakening the Mind: A Guide to Harnessing the Power of Your Brainwaves

Book Review: A Real Class Act!
Summary: 5 Stars

I cannot praise this book enough! I am 55 years young and have been serious about the pursuit of inner exploration and the search of something (I already have) but lost in the quagmire of living...my true essence. For the past 20 years,I have doggedly read all manner of books, listened to countless audio-neuro tapes, engaged in seminars, lectures, and other spiritual and "so-called" consciousness endeavors, and even "brain machines"! After awhile, I realized I was spinning my wheels, something vital was missing.

Undaunted and still in search, I later happened upon an excellent book, The High Performance Mind by Anna Wise 1995. That book changed my life! Then I purchased her very professional companion guided meditations CD package based on the same book. My point is that Anna Wise's superb research deals with the one essential factor that, from my point of view, most, if not all other researchers in the consciousness field of science do not address, and that is that our consciousness, in any form, is not based on any ONE dominant brainwave frequency. Our states of mind and their contents consists of a SYMPHONY of finely woven and intricate interrelationships of brainwave frequencies and to reach the really deep meditational states, you have to be able to open the CHANNELS from the subconscious to the conscious in order to gain any meaningful experience! Anna showed me how!

My meditations have over the last 6 years have not only become real to me, but thanks to Anna's realistic approach to this fascinating field emplementing the Mind Mirror EEG which registers the WHOLE brain for real-time biofeedback which she fundamentally bases her work on, has given me the capability to empower myself in taking control of my brainwaves (and consequently my mind states) from my mundane affairs to my spiritual quests. Anna writes with warmth and unparallel clearness and logic, her meditations and excercises really gave me a handle on my personal meditations and ways of thinking.

As if that wasn't enough, she comes up with another masterpiece with a capital "M"!! Awakening the Mind has been a long awaited treasure for me because I know Anna has been working all over the world gathering more knowledge and experience dealing with some of the best minds in all walks of life. Not only does she review the core theme of her research which stabilizes the integrity of it and makes it accessible to anyone new to this work, but she embellishes it with exciting new knowledge based on her latest findings, including, new meditations and very useful tips!!! In keeping with her emaculate style, she is consistent with her authoratative, precise, clear no-nonsense, but warm and spiritual presentation of information that provides the tools for anyone who wants to get "down to business" in his or hers quest for consciousness work be it whatever you want to do in life, healing, self mastery, creativity, problem solving, the universe is the limit.

We owe alot of gratitude to the dedication of people like Anna Wise in these interesting and exciting new times as our global consciousness undergoes the next levels of evolution. We can walk this earth as sleeping zombies or WAKE UP and really live as WHOLE people. I URGE everybody to read this book because EVERYBODY WILL BENEFIT!!! And you will not lose in getting her other book and audio CDs too. Thanks again Anna!! You're the BEST!!!!

Summary of Awakening the Mind: A Guide to Harnessing the Power of Your Brainwaves

Each moment of our lives, from birth to death, our brains are engaged in an endless symphony of patterns. In Awakening the Mind, Anna Wise reveals how a careful understanding of the four types of brain waves, and the practice of carefully designed meditation exercises that lead to a mastery of each type, can vastly improve everyday focus, memory, concentration, and overall mental awareness.

Over the past three decades, Wise has measured the brain-wave patterns of spiritual teachers, artists, high-performing businessmen, athletes, and other highly creative and productive individuals. She discovered that, during periods of peak mental awareness and clarity, they all exhibited a specific brain-wave pattern in which the four categories of brain waves?alpha, beta, theta, and delta?combined in a distinct configuration. In this book, Wise provides meditation exercises specially developed to lead readers to achieve that heightened mental state referred to as the Awakened Mind.
