About the Original Book:

More and more people are looking for ways to improve their mental health and overall well-being. Aware provides an in-depth look at the ways in which the past can affect the present and helps you change the way you react to every-day stimuli. With detailed discussions of brain and nervous system function, as well as the connection to quantum physics and energy flow, this book profoundly demonstrates the interconnectedness of all people and the planet.

No matter how the past may have influenced your life, it is reassuring to learn that there are ways to integrate new patterns of thinking, so the past no longer controls your reactions to yourself and others. In doing this, you are improving your mental and physical health, as well as your relationships with other people.
