It's a boon to have people exposed to these types of self-awareness tools. Technology will continue to enhance our ability to create self-awareness through a steady personal practice, such as Yoga, meditation or Tai Chi. Perhaps this will help people become more aware of the value the ancient teachings for building self-awareness, and lead to a more harmonious and peaceful culture. http://mayallbehappy.org/
