Abstract

Awareness is the contemporary age mantra. The present age is chartered by the enhanced awareness. Human awareness has become the key factor for the modern day development with the declaration that we have entered the “Age of Intelligence” and “Human Potential”. Mind mapping and meta analysis have paved their way through on the roads of the new academic environs. Awareness as undertaken in the west differs considerably from the awareness as it is taken in as Indian concept. The west emphasizes upon awareness as largely a physical concept stretching it maximum to the physical, emotional and social attributes whereas Indian concept adds spiritual dimension to it too. The concept of ‘chit’ does not find any parallel in the western thought. The age old yogic practices, it was felt by the researchers can trigger off awareness at all plains of human consciousness. Therefore, a new awareness training model viz. Yoga Assisted Awareness Training Model (YAATM) was evolved and the same after having its effects measured among students has been upgraded as Indigenous Awareness Training Model (IATM) for the teachers group. A group of 25 in-service teacher educators undertook the exposure to IATM at a FDP workshop and results were reported at quantitative qualitative level of research analysis.
