A Powerful guide to understanding how brain waves influence mental states and how to use this knowledge to heighten mental acuity and awareness. 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, combined with the practice of carefully designed meditation exercises that lead to a mastery of each type, can vastly improve every-day 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, using a specially developed Mind Mirror EEG. In this book, Wise provides a meditation program that will lead readers to achieve that heightened mental state referred to as the Awakened Mind.
