By Rob Kall

::::::::
my wife and I have worked with Anna Wise for the last eight years teaching the Awakened Mind protocol. We just spent week with Anna at Esalen teaching with her. I am saddened to say she took ill with pneumonia the next to the last day of the workshop and had to be taken to the local hospital in Monterrey. I finished teaching the class and followed her there.She passed away this Friday morning with her son John in attendance. She spent her last week teaching what she loved most in the place she loved best. We will miss her energy and can only hope that we can carry on her work for her. She is in the light she knew so well and finally at peace.Gary Groesbeck and Donna Bach
The Awakened Mindâ„¢
For almost three decades we have measured the brainwave patterns of people whose states of consciousness one would emulate spiritual masters, meditation teachers, and people of optimum creativity in all walks of life. The brainwave pattern that we found, named the Awakened Mindâ„¢, is a combination of all four categories beta, alpha, theta, and delta in the right relationship and proportion.
Since beta is thinking and the combination of alpha, theta and delta is meditating, you can see that the masters are in a state of thinking and meditating simultaneously, with a flow of connection between the two functions. Someone in the Awakened Mindâ„¢ brainwave state has access to the unconscious empathy, intuition, and radar of the delta waves, the subconscious creative storehouse, inspiration and spiritual connection of the theta waves, the bridging capacity, lucidity and vividness of imagery, and relaxed detached awareness of the alpha waves, and the ability to consciously process thoughts in beta all at the same time!One theme has run through my work for the past 40 plus years-- a desire to play a role in waking people up, raising their consciousness and empowering them.
I was the organizer founder of the Winter Brain, Optimal Functioning and Positive Psychology and StoryCon Meetings and president of Futurehealth, Inc., with interests in Positive Psychology as well as being involved in the field of biofeedback/neurofeedback since 1972.

In 2003 I founded www.OpEdNews.com , where I've written over 1800 articles and have published over 100,000 other people's writings, with the goal of raising people's consciousness in political and activist ways.
