Negative Positive
Title: Vague and unhelpful.
Review: I am a reader of manhy books on meditation as well with an interest in brain-waves neurofeedback etc.Throughtout this book there is a constant reference to the "awakened mind" pattern, but what it is remains not only vague but unreferenced- she claims this is the patterns of "masters" that her teacher (M. Cade) collected his data from; yet modern research clearly shows different meditations - produce difference brainwave patterns. Also, what exactly quality to her as a "master" remains unknown.I find it lacking some traditional or at least philosophical framework with which to place the multitude of meditations suggested; the fact it is associated with some 'brainwave' is too abstract to convince one to practice these sincerely.For meditation, I suggest looking at Adyashanti, or Shambhala materials. For engaging writing on brain-states and waves,The Head Trip: Adventures on the Wheel of Consciousness, which is more up-to-date as well.
