Course Introduction
We’ll dive deeply into the nature of presence, and how learning the Wheel of Awareness practice can build skills of focused attention, open awareness, and kind intention that research suggests are the three pillars of mind training that have been empirically shown to cultivate these important aspects of flourishing.
Health and healing each derive from the notion of a whole, the core of spiritual growth, the heart of scientific inquiry, and the setting for our exploration of what it means to awaken the mind, to be present, to be aware.
- How to develop a Wheel of Awareness practice and use it daily
- In-depth look at the science underlying meditation's effectiveness
- The nature of presence

Why should I consider taking this course?
What's different?
First of all, you will have an immersive experience into exciting ways of experiencing and transforming your mind. We’ll be exploring the impact of consciousness in the cultivation of well-being in your personal and professional life. You will also learn practical ways to apply deep insights into the nature of being aware itself, learning to “integrate consciousness.”
What does “integrate consciousness” mean?
By exploring the self-organizational role of our mental lives and the foundation of integration—the linking of differentiated parts of a system—we can then experience this “integration of consciousness” with a simple but powerful practice I developed for use with my students and patients called the “Wheel of Awareness.” Integration plays a central role in our health and well-being as it builds resilience and inner strength. It is a simple but powerful tool that deepens our understanding of the mind and strengthens our capacities of attention, awareness, and positive intention.
What does Meditation mean?
Meditation simply means training the mind. I’ve used the Wheel of Awareness with tens of thousands of students around the world with exciting benefits—including achieving a sense of clarity and calm as well as new insights into the nature of our lives, inside and out. It offers a way to weave the three research-based pillars of mind training into one practice strengthening the focus of attention, opening awareness, and building kind intention. These three pillars have been demonstrated to enhance health in several ways, including reducing stress, improving immune and cardiovascular functions, altering epigenetic regulation to reduce bodily inflammation, and optimizing the enzyme, telomerase that maintains and repairs the ends of our chromosomes.

Student Testimonials
"Courses with Dr. Seigel have expanded my knowledge of the neurological underpinnings of behavior, [which] has been a game changer for my own meditation practice and for how I respond to other adults. The most important part for me, however, is that [Dan’s work] has radically affected my own parenting and understanding of my child. The classes are well-organized, and the live Q and A sessions help with any lingering questions."
