When looking at Quantum Physics theory the Observer Effect, it appears that consciousness, in the form of creation, has an interdependent relationship with everything in the Universe. Therefore human beings and all of creation are intricately connected and have a cause and effect relationship with each other. Scientific research has also demonstrated that the dynamic interconnected component of the Universe, when examined as a whole, not in isolated parts of itself, reveals that individual parts affect each other and the whole. It is this partnership, in participation with our belief systems and behaviors, that reinforces or reinvents the reality we experience. With conscious awareness of the power we as humans have in creating our reality, it would be beneficial to be acutely aware of where we focus our minds, our thoughts, as well as activities, in which we participate.

Brain research findings, demonstrate that an individual’s brain processes its experiences and constructs its reality dependent on how it is wired. The utilization of certain tools that evoke self-reflective states of awareness, such as mindfulness-based meditation, have been found to rewire the brain, contributing to a permanent change in one’s perception and behavior, consequently shifting personal reality and in turn creation. I assert that certain technology-based tools are available that can provide a viable option to connect to self-reflective states of awareness that one may experience in meditation. These tools offer an efficient and expedient way to induce transformation by allowing one to reach certain brain states that can facilitate relaxation and connect to a broader perspective.
