Aware Meditation Inc.s global initiative endeavours to shift the collective stress consciousness. We provide simple self-sufficient stress reducing techniques. Once practiced on a daily basis the human nervous system stabilizes reducing anxiety fear and overwhelm allowing for increased mental clarity and cognitive ability. Shifting an attitude or mindset is only a temporary surface level tool which often causes disappointment and additional stress. Our practices are utilized to address underlying causes not symptoms. All initiatives are in alignment with the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

Financial health
We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.
