What is the Mind Mirror?

The Mind Mirror is a special type of electroencephalograph (EEG) biofeedback device used in Awakened Mind Training. It measures and visually represents a meditator’s brainwave activities in different frequency bands.It presents brainwave states in easily recognized shapes or patterns. Specific patterns, such as the Awakened Mind State and the Evolved Mind, are associated with various subjective experiences. These can include relaxation, intuitive insight, spiritual connectedness, and deep meditation.

The Mind Mirror provides meditators direct visual feedback on their inner state of mind, consciousness, and meditation practice. It helps meditators understand how their mental, emotional, and spiritual experiences correlate with different states of consciousness shown in their brainwave patterns.With the guidance of our Awakened Mind coaches, you can adjust your approach, learn to deepen meditation and gain improved clarity, insight, intuition, relaxation, and spiritual understanding.

We Help You Solve Real Meditation Challenges

Instead of surface calm, our retreat addresses issues other programs leave untouched:Finding Your Way Into Deeper Meditation:
If it’s difficult to move past shallow thinking and struggle to deepen your experience, you aren’t alone. We’ll help you identify what the challenge may be and provide you with clear strategies for breakthroughs.

Bridging Logic and Intuition:
Do you feel disconnected from insight or creativity, or have too much thinking? Our analysis reveals when your mind may not be “bridged” for flow, and we’ll give hands-on steps you can use to develop natural access over time.Feeling Stuck or Unsure What’s Happening:
When you’re not sure if you’re making progress or doubting your experience, we guide you by combining your reports with your unique brainwave measurements. This brings greater clarity and suggests new ways to move forward.Safety in Deepening Awareness:
Some inner content can feel challenging. Our method is supportive and structured, respecting your personal pace and making sure change feels safe.Supporting Long-Term Growth, Not Quick Fixes:
What matters is what happens after the retreat ends. You go home with insight, a framework for practice, and your own “landmarks” that help you return to the states you visited—building transformation over time.
