James Ripley providing feedback on individual brainwave patterns following a guided meditation. 5-day Awakened Mind Workshop at Esalen Institute, Big Sur, California

What happens to your mind and body when you think, move, relax, visualize, meditate, or have a profound insight or connection?

What happens when you get “in the zone?”

What happens when you feel love, joy, peace,…?

Each of us has unique brainwave patterns including a signature pattern. We also have our own way of relaxing or arousing the body.  Awareness training of both mind and body accelerate mastery of our own internal state of being.

What ever it is you would like to change about yourself or your life, even if its relaxation and meditation, awareness is the first step to success.

And the Mind Mirror will help to reflect those changes more vividly and clearly for you.

What is Awakened Mind™ Brainwave Training?
Awakened Mind™ Brainwave Training combines the ancient art of meditation with the most advanced technologies in biofeedback training using EEG, SC (skin conductance), HRV (heart rate variability).

The Awakened Mind™ is a unique brainwave state that is represented by a distinct shift in brainwave patterns and the quality of experience.

This pattern has been well documented as early as the 1960s by Max Cade who discovered it while monitoring the brainwaves of experienced meditators and yogis with an EEG instrument called the Mind Mirror.  After the discovery of this brainwave pattern, Max Cade continued using the Mind Mirror for EEG research for biofeedback and meditation training with his students. With the assistance of Dr. Terry Lesh, they developed (The Lesh scale) a descriptive scale of subjective land marking of experiences that correlates to the brainwave shifts from ordinary waking state to a state that combines meditation with activity, known as the Awakened Mind™.

Awakened Mind Described?
The Awakened Mind™ is described by advanced meditation practitioners, business leaders and other top performers as a state of peak performance and peak spiritual awareness. It feels clearer, sharper, and more flexible.  Emotions are more available and easier to transform.  Information flows readily between the conscious, subconscious and unconscious levels; increasing deep relaxation, intuition, insight, creativity, healing…leading to increased energy, peace of mind, and greater meaning in life.

Students at the Awakened Mind Workshop

In this workshop, you will learn to access specific brainwave states in an experiential program developed by Max Cade & Anna Wise and taught by James Ripley, Certified Awakened Mind™ Trainer/Practitioner.

We begin the training with an overview of brainwaves- beta, alpha, theta, delta- and the benefits of the different brainwave states. You will be guided into meditations that elicit the various brainwave states culminating in the Awakened Mind™ brainwave state.

The focus of Awakened Mind™ Brainwave Training is to be in the state you want to be in when you want to be there. After this workshop you will have a roadmap for accessing the basic brainwave states including the your meditation state and Awakened Mind™  state.

For those of you wanting to improve your functionality in the world…
This training will provide you with a skill set to improve both mental and physical relaxation, to clear mental, emotional, and physical blocks, and to enhance visualization, creativity and peak performance to get in “the zone.”

For those of you wanting to improve the inner quality of your life…
This training will provide you with the map of the territory of higher brainwave states of awareness as you familiarize yourself with and explore your own internal landscape.  In this way you may begin working with both the state and the content (thoughts and emotions) of consciousness and learn to enhance self-healing, improve relationships, and develop greater awareness of motives.

For those of you seeking greater truths about yourself…
Ultimately, the process is designed to help you to identify and distinguish the many aspects of yourself and to assist you in exploring your essential nature.

Allowing us to explore what we are and what we are not, we may begin to “let go” and very gently and naturally remember what we are.
