Regina interviewed Brian Tom O’Connor, the author of  Awareness Games: Playing with Your Mind to Create Joy.

Brian Tom O’Connor is an actor, theater director, cabaret performer, and formerly depressed guy who stumbled onto the source of joy and happiness in the background of all experience. He is not an enlightened person, which, in fact, is a good thing, because if someone as imperfect and flawed as he is can find it, so can you.

So try the games and make up your own.  Experiment.  See what works for you.  It’s all about your direct experience. Play with pure awareness and discover the background of all experience, where happiness is hiding in plain sight.

What are Awareness Games?

Awareness Games have one purpose: to turn the mind around from outer focus to inner focus, and through inner focus to find that obscure little secret passageway to expanded fo­cus. The delightful surprise is that the obscure little secret passageway was hiding in plain sight all along.
