Awareness works: a glimpse at what it might unlock for you


The Power of Invisibles
Richard Hillman, a well-known Jungian analyst, once described the values, judgments, and attitudes we live by as ‘invisibles’. These invisibles, though often unseen and unacknowledged,  powerfully direct our activities.  However, many of us remain unaware of their pervasive influence in our lives, even as we act on them with unquestioning devotion and dedication. People give their lives to the invisibles, such as the soldier who goes off to war, even giving his life, to defend his country; patriotric and honorable in his mission. Or a hospital’s unpaid volunteers value the compassionate service of others in need, so they donate their time and efforts towards this purpose.

In their own way, the principles and ideas contained in Awareness Works represent life changing invisibles, ones gradually bringing about change in many facets of your wellness.  In one sense , no tremendous revelations occur, no amazing medical breakthroughs get revealed ,and no secret alternative treatments  get espoused. Yet the invisibles detailed in Awareness Works can cause a radical shift in how you perceive your and societal wellness. These principles don’t simply complement many of the existing models of health and wellness, but instead offer a vital alternative that often challenges the assumptions of many existing health and wellness premises. 

Awareness Works’  paradigm promotes integrated, wholistic wellness that can prevent the development of many diseases, improve your overall wellness when you have chronic conditions, and allow you to develop a deeper knowledge of well-being that can be available to you throughout your life, regardless of the condition of your body and mind.  No small matter, as the ideas described in Awareness Works may require significant and often difficult shifts from existing lifestyles. Yet day by day, often quietly and subtly, you can notice changes in your health and wellness and this will be proof enough to keep on this path.
