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.

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.

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. :)

If you get ONE CD of Brainwave technology, BUY THIS ONE, ASAP!!! My husband and I love it so much, we each have our own copy, and got a friend to buy one..and we all listen to it EVERY DAY!!!! Whenever we're stressed, we listen to it even more! It is sooooo relaxing, yet gives you a renewed euphoric intuitive feeling. The thoughts,feelings,visuals that will pass through you will be incredible. You'll feel like you've been to far-off lands, even planets, understand the problems of yourself,the Universe,become closer to whatever you feel is a Supreme Intelligence to you...and want to tell others to buy this CD so they can experience it too!

I've tried others of Dr. Thompson's brain sync discs and they do help you get to profound states of consciousness. But as the review prior to mine states, this one seems to be the very best. Perhaps the biggest compliment I can give is to say the ecstatic reviewer is not exaggerating. When this one is done, I feel like I've come up from the quietest, deepest part of the ocean where I got the best full-body massage you can imagine. I felt right on the cusp of pure ecstasy. The only caveat is that I am an experienced meditator of many years, but I hope this disc brings the same results to everyone!

This cd makes me feel as though someone stuck their finger in my brain and stirred it around. I can't pinpoint what exactly feels different, but I find myself thinking about turning it on all the time. My boyfriend says it helps his ability to concentrate. We've both been sleeping tremendously better. I didn't understand all those other reviews saying it cures 'the blahs' til now. It really perks me up on a break at work. It's easier to stay grounded. I can't wait to try the others!

This is my first Dr. Thompson adventure but after the lifting experience it gave me I am going to have to try his other CD's. It help to aleviate my doldrums and I felt much better after the first time using it. Highly reccommended for all us 9-5'ers.

I have been interested in brain entrainment technology for many years and have sampled many of the raw tools that are out there. Awakened Mind System is by far one of the best that I have heard to date. When it first arrived, I was skeptical. Upon hearing the first chord, I knew that this was something very special. This CD is so good for a whole lot of reasons. As other reviewers have stated, it can be used for many different activities. It can be used to meditate, for exercising, as a background at work, as a sleep aid, as a de-stressing aid, as a self discovery aid, etc. It really is a multi-purpose CD. Since I have been using it, I simply feel better. More at peace, and am able to deal with situations better. Very, very impressive.

Dr. Thompson exeeds himself and all others with this album. I listened to this album twice so far, and it DEFINITELY made a difference in the way I felt. I was happier, more relaxed, and way more energetic than before. I recommend this album to anyone, especially if you are suffering from the "blahs."

The music is simply beautiful and calming. The changes in my life has been phenomenal since my purchase. I was really only expecting minimal results in helping with my stress and anxiety at work. For over a year I had been suffering from anxiety attacks, depression, and physical and mental stress.

To add to my anxiety, I was diagnosed with Discoid Lupus 5 weeks ago. Stress makes the Lupus extremely worse and annoying.

I decided to combine some meditation techniques I had researched with the 'Awakened Mind System', the results have been more than I ever could have expected.

I smoked 1 pack or more of cigarettes a day for over 18 years. I tried many times to quit without success. Since listening to the CD, I have been 4 weeks without a cigarette and I feel wonderful. Quitting has not been as hard as I thought and the idea of becoming healthier physically and mentally is so exciting. The bouts of depression are gone and I am energized about the future.

My meditation sessions with the cd has helped me tremendously deal with the stress at work. When I feel anxious and stressed, I close my eyes, breath, refocus and within seconds my energy and concentration levels are back dealing with the tasks at hand.

It is a wonderful feeling knowing I am in charge of my own thought processes and feelings. I am realizing that happiness is not something that happens when things go right. Happiness, just is. You just have to experience this for yourself.
