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.

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Like Wise's more technical The High-Performance Mind: Mastering Brainwaves for Insight, Healing, and Creativity, this work aims to help readers improve their mental powers by optimizing brain-wave patterns. A meditation and brain-wave development teacher, Wise writes lucidly about the four types of brain-wave patterns, or EEGs, giving readers "subjective landmarks" to help them gauge their own patterns without an EEG biofeedback machine. Expanding on the work of C. Maxwell Cade, who developed the biofeedback machine, she offers an analysis of the brain waves of successful people including Chi Kung masters, healers, artists, and CEOs that helps bring scientific measurement and clarity to the subjective processes of creativity and enlightenment. Unfortunately, her overuse of such corporate trainer jargon as mastery and power can become tedious. And though this work is more accessible than her previous title, it doesn't really offer anything new. It is an adequate addition to self-help collections, particularly those lacking her first book, but Jim Robbins's A Symphony of the Brain: The Evolution of the New Brain Wave Biofeedback offers more historical background and clinical application of EEG biofeedback.

Review

“Awakening the Mind is a first-rate guidebook for the development of consciousness. Anna Wise is one of the foremost pioneers of brain-wave biofeedback. Her book is filled with practical secrets that she has learned over the years and that anyone can use to make fuller use of the mind and become more skilled at living.” —Andrew Weil, M.D.

I thought this book was highly interesting. Brain waves, and especially being able to control/guide them is a useful skill. I used the info mostly in my meditation practice.

I've read a lot of self help books;books on becoming psychic; gaining control, etc. But, this book explains the dynamics of thought in an easy to read format. Then, there are the instructions on gaining mastery of your mind. Again,what I found most helpful was Ms. Wise's very exacting breakdown of subject matter into tangible sectors of immediate application.

4.0 out of 5 stars Too Many Words About Nothing
Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2012

I bought this book several years ago and it was written in a strictly academic style that appeals to people who have Ph.Ds in the sciences. It seems like that was the intended audience. I however am a more emotional person and although the material in this book is of great value to me, the writing style is very out of touch with my spirit. I understand the concepts presented in this book and I recommend that if anyone who is not a scientist overlook the fact that this book is written in a very dry style and instead focus on buying the Cds with the guided meditations to develop an awakened mind. Don't let this book turn you off from the valuable knowledge that it is about. To have an awakened mind is a goal that everyone should have and teach others. This information is for everyone, not just the audience of this book. So do I recommend the book? Hell no, unless you're a scientist or academian. Do I recommend the Cds? Hell yes, for everyone. You can understand what this book is about with just a few senetences. After you read these sentences you will not need to read this book. There are 4 types of brain waves. When you learn to activate them all then you will have a high performing mind. Now use the internet to find out more about brain waves, and buy the Cds here:

 The High Performance Mind

I gave it 4 stars not because it's a good book. It's a horrible read, but when you understand what it is about it can change your life.

3.0 out of 5 stars Awakening The Mind PA: a Guide to harnessing the Power etc.
Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2010

I have never in all the years I have been dealing with Amazon recieved a book with so much scribble in it --- the previous owner was a biro freak. The book was cheap enough but postage brought the price way up, and the condition was a disgrace. I complained, but nothing came of it. Obviously Amazon plays a numbers game, as do all these concerns with 'automatic' user interfaces to save money. Be warned --- any place you can't walk in and thump the counter, avoid like the plague.
The book itself, by the way, was terrific. What I could read thru the scribble.

Its a very bad roadside reprint.
I got 2 books from the same provider. Both are priced like the U.S. $ printed at the back, but are cheap reprints. Terrible quality of paper and ink. Readable, but on the road by it for 200 rs instead of 1000 rs.
