"If you were to do decades of research on EEG patterns of yogis, swamis, and healers, understand those patterns, you might find common patterns for people engaged in creating, problem solving, learning, healing, memorizing and meditating.



People in that state of consciousness are using a specific combination of beta, Alpha, Theta and Delta brainwave patterns.



If you were to use entrainment to create sound pulses and music to recreate those exact same EEG patterns in normal individuals, a feeling of lucid awareness, you might create something worthwile.



Or, you could save yourself time and energy, because using the EEG research of C. Maxwell Cade, Jeffrey Thompson has already done it. For the price of a CD you can get the pioneering benefit of all this amazing technology.



According to the sleeve notes with the CD there are fifteen different layers of brainwave entrainment sounds used to create the awakened mind pattern.



I do find this CD very mentally stimulating, creating all sorts of mental imagery and very relaxing. This is definitely one of my favorite CD's. I also use some of Jeffrey's other CD's for very specific purposes.



This type of CD also uses subaudible binaural beats in the soundtrack. How this works is that if a frequency of say 100 Hz goes in your left ear, and 105 Hz goes in your right ear, then both sides of your brain reconcile this by creating a third 5 Hz brainwave, which would be in the Theta range associated with creativity and a trance state. This also creates new neural pathways in the brain enabling you to access this desired state more easily in the future, and also induces synchronicity between both sides of your brain. With fifteen different levels of entrainment on this CD, you can imagine how beneficial this could be.



As you consider this CD you may feel it could benefit you. If you do then you should get it now. Why wait?



I hope this review was helpful."

"I have purchased both Awakened Mind System discs (original and 2.0) and both are amazing. They have taken my meditations to a whole new level. They are also great for power napping or doing creative work. I feel that the Awakened Mind System discs are better than many of Thompson's other discs for two reasons. First, AMS uses combinations of all brainwave frequencies (beta, alpha, theta, delta) which makes you feel both relaxed and energized, peaceful and creative, dreamy and focused, all at once. This makes AMS useful for many different activities. Second, they are outstanding for meditation because the music is purely ambient and abstract. Many of Thompson's other discs, including the Theta Meditation System, use some ambience interspersed with repetitive melodies which can be quite distracting while meditating. If you're looking for music to deepen your meditation, enhance your mental functioning, or even help you sleep, try the Awakened Mind System."

"The human brain and the consciousness that it contains is the last frontier. Those who are willing to explore it are a new kind of pioneer. This CD allows listeners to actually change their brainwaves, thus affecting the consciousness that the brainwaves convey.



The first track, which lasts for thirty minutes, is very pleasantly meditative. The listener will hear nature sounds, a gong, ambient sounds, and the like. This tends to move one into a relaxed and meditative state. The second track, also thirty minutes long, sounds like a rainstorm, with other sounds mixed in. Very soon one moves from relaxation into incredible visualization. I generally visualize nature scenes, but that varies from person to person, I suspect.



I believe that this CD helps me relax more, sleep better, and deal with the problems of living better. If I listen to this several nights in a row, I can come up with solutions to problems more easily and I deal with life in a more relaxed state. I also feel that it makes me more sensitive to the feelings of others. This is an unusual experience. It is amazing that a little CD can do something so profound. But, there it is. :)"
