The Power of Awareness: Online Course Review
If you want to bring more awareness into your life, understand what that really means, the power it has and experience how this can transform your life then you’re definitely on the right track in considering The Power of Awareness online course.
From my personal experience, experience is the key. We can learn and understand things intellectually (or not for that matter and to be honest the intellectual understanding isn’t necessary), but what we really want is to see a change, experience a change.
The intellect can be useful, but what we really want here is a knowing (beyond the mind) and a great portal for that is through mindfulness meditation. With the knowing and beingness that comes with mindfulness meditation, what we emanate, what we attract and how we interact with the world is very different. Consequently we experience life differently but in a deeper and much more joyful way.
So, with that, I’ve researched the course developed and delivered by renowned mindfulness experts and teachers Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach (more about the teachers below) and I’ve looked at what some of their past 17,000 course participants have had to say and it looks good from where I stand.
If you are really looking to transform your life in whatever way that may mean for you, I cannot think of a better way to start than participating in the Power of Awareness Online Course
Their approach resonates with me. I feel myself nodding ‘yes’ to the words they use in describing the course. They speak of discovering the transformative, healing power of mindful awareness and dramatically shifting the experience of your life, the people in it, and the world itself.
I personally have experienced a dramatic shift in my life through mindfulness and increased awareness and therefore I know what they say to be true.
If you are dedicated to the process (even with a few little hiccups here and there – it happens to everyone), you too will experience this transformation.
A key for me when I am looking at different courses is to recognise when I am not intellectualising and instead just feel a sense of ‘rightness’, a ‘knowing’. I can say that I felt that with this course.
Let’s now get to the nuts and bolts of the course.

A little more about the teachers
If you don’t know, Jack Kornfield has been around for decades now, teaching meditation globally since 1974 and is one of the key teachers to introduce mindfulness to the West. His books have sold 1.5 million copies and he holds a PhD in clinical psychology.
And Tara Brach, well she’s equally credible with her weekly podcasts being downloaded over 1.5 MILLION TIMES EACH MONTH, teaching meditation internationally and also holding a PhD in Clinical Psychology.
Both teachers have quite a following and have had for many years and so this has to instil a sense of trust and we can assume a level of quality in what they provide given their longevity when considering whether or not to jump in feet first.
Words of Encouragement – Once you know it, you can’t un-know it and that’s the beauty!
I have been a customer of many programs and courses in my life and I have to say that those dedicated to meditation, mindfulness and awareness have been the most beneficial to me in enhancing my own life and improving my general sense of wellbeing.
And, if I ever get off track (which happens to most of us and often more so when things are going well, we may cast our practise aside), I know it’s because I am not being mindful or aware.
But I also know that this is the way back and so I reintroduce it back into my life if I have been distracted by life for a little while.
Likewise, when things aren’t going well or we feel uncertain, stressed or unhappy we need meditation, mindfulness and awareness more than ever.
It’s my go to and it’s the only go to that can and will bring peace, freedom and real joy into your life.
The effects are immediate and can be sustained with focus. I am as gentle as I can be with myself even if I might take a step back or two. I would encourage you to be gentle with yourself too.
If I can coin a phrase that explains my experience perfectly “everything changed, yet nothing changed”! A little cryptic perhaps, but I’m sure you will know what I mean if you decide to do the course.
Once you have the knowledge, you can never un-know it and that’s the beauty – thank goodness for that.
$6 a day is a very small price to pay to invest in yourself and ultimately experience and live a better life.
I would encourage you to take the plunge. I can sincerely say, you won’t regret it! Click here to enrol now.

Go forth with ease and just be!

Interesting course from 2 experts. I think most of us aren’t as aware of what’s going on with our relationships & life as we need to be. Mostly I’m thinking about what to do right now. This course looks like it will improve my life in regards to relationships and how I’m seeing life. I’ll take a look at the “Power of Awareness” to get an idea of their teaching methods. Thanks, Bob
Martine
Yes you’re right Bob. Most of us go through life in a sort of daze. The fact that you’re considering the course makes me think you are even now growing in your awareness or there is a sense that there is a different way. For me, after 25 years of constantly trying but ultimately still feeling unhappy and empty I began exploring meditation and mindfulness etc and it changed my life. That’s why I share what I have learnt and experienced with others. I wish you all the best and if you decide to enrol in the course I would genuinely love to hear how you are getting on. Thankyou for taking the time to comment.

You’re welcome. If I can help you any further with questions etc, please let me know. I’d also like to know of your experiences along the way. Best wishes.

This looks like a really great course if you’ve been thinking about starting a meditation or journaling practice, it seems like it would be a good jumping off point. I started meditating before sleep recently and I do feel like it’s been making a difference in my sleep and stress level. Looks like a great course and something to look into further
Martine
Yes, it’s definitely worth it. Thanks for your comment.

This is beautiful. I think we all need to take some time off from our everyday clutter and finally focus on our own self development as humans. We so often forget to put the focus on good personal growth. The best part is I can’t unknow this information! Thank you so much for sharing.
Martine
You’re welcome Pam. You’re right it’s a beautiful thing. Thankyou
