We redefine awareness as a cognitive skill – unlocking transformative clarity, resilience and authentic wellbeing.

What is awareness?

Awareness is the ability to notice what’s happening – inside you and around you – with clarity and without judgment.

It’s a cognitive skill, but also a way of being that strengthens with consistent practice and expert guidance. When we’re aware, we can pause, reflect, choose, and grow.

Awareness requires guidance, practice, and deep understanding to master.

What is mindfulness?

Mindfulness is how we train the mind to develop and sustain awareness.

Through mindfulness, we develop the discipline to notice thoughts, feelings, and sensations without reacting.

It’s mental training – like going to the gym – helping us observe without judgement and return to presence. Awareness is the goal. Mindfulness is the path.

What does it mean to be positively aware?

It means having a new operating system for your mind. Being positively aware leads to:

It’s not just about feeling better – it’s about understanding the mind and choosing how you relate to everything that arises.

Unlock the full power of being positively aware

Positive awareness isn’t something you download. It’s something you live.

To truly develop it, you need a guide – someone who can help you move beyond intellectual understanding into direct experience.

That’s what makes the Positively Aware Experience different.

Experience the difference

Our method blends practical teaching, guided meditations, and reflective dialogue.

You don’t just learn about awareness – you experience it, integrate it, and begin to live it in real time.

A journey of learning, growth, and insight

The Positively Aware Experience is more than a course – it’s a transformational journey.

You’ll move through a structured sequence of meditations and teachings that lead to powerful realisations, improved mental clarity, and a more grounded, peaceful way of being.
