Discover inner peace and emotional freedom with AWARENESS, a revolutionary new application that helps you learn to be grounded and peaceful in your day to day life. Developed by NY Psychotherapist Ronit Herzfeld, it builds on 25 years of clinical psychological experience, modern advances in neuroscience, and ancient spiritual learning, packaged into a mobile tool that goes with you wherever you are.

"What are you feeling right now?"

With this simple question, AWARENESS ushers in a new era in the way individuals can use technology to change their own feelings, attitudes and behavior in an empowering way.

“Leave it to Ronit Herzfeld, massive-hearted, creative innovator, lover of humanity, to find wisdom in the simple: a way for humanity to wake up, a little bit every day, to their feelings, thoughts, sensations, to who they are, through the use of the ubiquitous iPhone app. It’s nothing short of brilliant, and has the potential to take humanity to the evolutionary place it’s going anyway, but possibly a good deal faster, possibly creating a quantum leap…”

The AWARENESS application is the first tool to use mobile technology to randomly intercept your daily routine, and prompt you to get in touch with what you are feeling; taking you out of your worries and bringing you to the present moment. Throughout the day, on a schedule you configure, a gentle "gong" will go off and the phone will prompt you to record what you are feeling in the current moment. It will then lead you in a brief meditative exercise that you can do wherever you are, to bring you back to the present moment. It will ask you to record what you were doing when you experienced the feeling, and then leave you with an inspirational quote that relates to the feeling you recorded.

AWARENESS is easy to use, and includes some great features:

- Ability to configure the alert frequency, sound, start and end times
- Avoids interrupting your iCal meetings
- 20 brief meditative video clips guide you back to the present moment
- 400 inspirational quotes
- Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly reports give you insight into your moods, feelings and associated activities
- Tracks your "escape" activities that distract you from unpleasant feelings
- Works with or without a network connection
- No advertisements
- All data is kept private and stored on your device(s) and synced through your Apple id (if enabled).

"To really feel your own power and abilities, you must begin by spending time with yourself. But time can be scarce. The AWARENESS iPhone application creates a small space, wherever you are and whatever you are doing, to stop, feel and breathe — usually, just when you most need it. This ingenious little helper is like an angel sitting on your shoulder, encouraging you to be the person you truly are. "

Whether you know it or not, your emotional world runs you. The more aware you are of your feelings, the more you can harness them to your benefit. You can be a prisoner of your emotions, or you can master them.

AWARENESS help you become aware of your emotions and how they affect your thoughts and actions in ways that don’t work for you; preventing you from living your life fully and authentically. After just a few weeks of practice, users have found that:

- They are more present, more relaxed, and more comfortable in their skin.
- They are more harmonious in relationships
- They are less stressful and more peaceful at work and at home
- They are more energetic during the day
- They are better able to focus on their goals
- They are less distracted, impatient, forgetful or tired

We look forward to hearing your personal story of transformation through AWARENESS!

Latest reviews of AWARENESS app for iPhone and iPad

Awesome Idea - Great Implementation
I love how they kept the user interface simple and to the point. I find it very useful in my case, esp. the fact that you can put reminders to record your feelings on hold while you are in a meeting (it apparently knows about your calendar/schedule). The videos really work, very relaxing and beautiful. Looking forward to see where this app goes. I have some ideas that I will send to the devs.
Start Today
Today is the perfect day to start using this app.  For me, today is the day I had a root canal.  So, how wonderful to be asked, "What are you feeling right now?" at regular intervals--and then be reminded of the tools to work through each state. Hopefully, today is the perfect day for you to start using this app too (but not because you had a root canal!).   AWARENESS speaks to us with photography, videos, quotations, meditations, charts. . . but it is not at all overwhelming. It is easy to use and respectful of our time. For example, we stay with a mediation until we press "continue," so the duration is up to us. We set reminders according to our own calendars. (We can even tell it to skip meetings or weekends.) If we miss a question-and-answer break, the next time we look at our Ipods or Iphones, our question will be waiting for us on the screen. It is smooth and intuitive, and is set up for each one of us to be successful.  Imagine the shift in our collective consciousness as more and more of us go forth with positive realization.  Bravo to Ronit Herzfeld and her team!! Bravo to us for finding, receiving and practicing AWARENESS!!
reality check
this app is life changing! it really helps to remind us that we can get thru anything a moment at a time.
An iPhone App That Can Improve My Health & Happiness -- Wow!
I had the opportunity to part of the "test group" use the AWARENESS iPhone app before it became available here -- and the results of using this app have been amazing! Working in a high-stress job, these "mini-breaks" throughout the day -- when my reminder alarm goes off, and I take a 60-second break to use the app -- have taught me that I really dont have to be "swept away" by feelings of anxiety and worry. Based on the studies Ive read, stress clearly has a negative impact on the human immune system, so its safe to say that the AWARENESS iPhone app will actually improve my health! Even in just a few weeks, it has already improved my marriage and the way I interact with my children. This is truly a wonderful app!
If this app were as popular as Angry Birds the world would CHANGE!
Seriously. This powerful app teaches the tools to help us get out of destructive behavioral patterns and start to see what is really going on in our lives. AWARENESS helps us create more choice and freedom. And its a fn iPhone app for cryin out loud! I cant imagine how much better the world would be if we put as much time into AWARENESS as we did Angry Birds. Lets do it!
