Awakening the mind - Anna Wise

Each moment of our lives from death to birth 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 business 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.
