The Awakened Mind of Creative Flow

 

"The awakening of awareness is like gradually awakening from sleep

and becoming more and more vividly aware of everyday reality -

only it's everyday reality from which we are awakening!"

 

~Max Cade, Mind Mirror inventor

 

What are we awakening from? Our limited beliefs about ourselves and the nature of reality. To what are we awakening? The realization that our creative and intuitive powers are vast, our potential unlimited. 

 

The open and flowing Awakened Mind unites the verbal conscious mind's logic and analytical abilities (above, in red, orange, and yellow) with our subconscious creativity, insight, intuition, and spiritual awareness (in blue and purple), thus enhancing our intelligence and enlivening our abilities. Using these abilities, we solve our problems, conceive new opportunities, and self-heal, transform, and evolve. 

what is the awakened mind pattern?

The Awakened Mind is the brainwave pattern of the world’s top performers and producers. It is most often seen in advanced meditators, artists, CEOs, scientists, hands-on-healers, psychics and mediums, yoga and qi gong practitioners, and other highly developed and spiritually aware people with high-level focus, sustained attention, self-awareness, creativity, and personal mastery.

 

These calm, balanced people tap their subconscious intelligence for solutions to challenges, to stimulate flow, and to serve self and others.  With practice—and a Mind Mirror®—anyone (with a normal brain) can awaken their awareness to this higher level of consciousness. 

who discovered the pattern?

The Awakened Mind pattern of lucid awareness was discovered by British biophysicist and psychobiologist C. Maxwell Cade after his 1976 invention of the Mind Mirror EEG. Through the years, this renowned scientist, meditation master, hypnotist, and clinical psychologist studied the brainwave activity of more than 4,000 people who produced this pattern.  

 

His successor, mind researcher and humanistic psychologist Anna Wise, conducted 6,000 hours of Awakened Mind training, created our practitioner training program, authored two books, and taught at the iconic Esalen Institute for 30 years.

 

Since 2011, practitioners certified by the Institute for the Awakened Mind have used the Mind Mirror to help many thousands more people develop this pattern of creative flow and peak performance. Their recent research shows that the Awakened Mind is a gateway to the Evolved and Superconscious patterns of transcendence and enlightenment.  


What does the awakened mind feel like?

Deepening into the stillness of silent meditation or the active Awakened Mind unites us with the deeper, core self—our essence, or spirit. Drifting below the level of thought, we lose awareness of the body, and we rest in the quiet self-awareness known as pure mind.

 

Some people experience this as a place of wisdom, light, and peace in which they feel united with all things. In this still point of consciousness, you may perceive an underlying fabric of reality and within it the presence of indescribable peace and oneness.

 

For many people, there is a sensation of resting in a luminous field of light that brings absolute understanding of what was not known or understood before. Insights arise, creativity flows, problems are resolved. The brain loves this pattern, which synchronizes and optimizes the mind, body, and spirit. You will want to return to it, again and again.

how can the awakened mind benefit me?

Like Silent Meditation, the Awakened Mind relaxes and quiets the body-mind, balances the brain, and potentiates inner resources providing solutions to real-life questions and challenges. Nothing else offers the extraordinary benefits of Awakened Mind meditation, which include:

 

deep tranquility and inner peace that can be externalized to eyes open, waking life as equanimity

keener focus and sustained attention and awareness yielding a continuity of consciousness

an increased ability to think, plot, plan, imagine and create

"aha" flashes of insight and inspiration

improved health on a cellular level, including better physical coordination and shorter reaction time

intensified sensory acuity and intuitive abilities

mental clarity, improved memory, enhanced creativity and learning abilities 

 

Deepening into alpha-theta-delta builds new neurons (nerve cells) in the intellectual cortex and hippocampus, increasing the capacity for intelligence, memory, and learning. Silent and Awakened Mind meditation also stimulate neuroplasticity. The peaceful, aware brain rewires outworn patterns and behavior into positive new ways of thinking and feeling. Nothing else offers this remarkable range of benefits.

what are Awakened people like?

Our 50-year knowledge of this pattern shows that people who externalize the Awakened Mind into waking life engage in regular meditation and self-mastery for personal growth and conscious evolution. 

 

Anna Wise wrote in her book, The High-Performance Mind, that awakened people are self-actualized high achievers who are often at the top of their professions. These excited, enthusiastic, and successful people enjoy an "ah-ha" experience of life that is filled with peak moments of bliss. No matter what their spiritual orientation, they know how to quiet the mind, go within, and master their brainwaves for creativity, insight, healing, and a joyful, fulfilling life.
