Connected to California's Esalen Institute, Wise spent the last 20 years measuring brainwave patterns achieved by meditators, yogis, and peak mental performers. During those two decades she taught biofeedback, meditation, and brainwave training. As a result, she feels to have both identified a wakened mind state and the path to reach it. This four-CD set is a step-by-step process toward achieving that state. The first two CDs function well as general, or beginning guides, to reaching a deep, meditative state through self-awareness and body control. In the final two, Wise guides the listener in constructing and inhabiting a castle of higher functioning. The entire program is geared toward creative problem solving or successfully overcoming specific challenges. A musical "brainwave frequency score" accompanies the narration. Composed by Kit Walker, these sounds facilitate the process by their tranquil nature.
