The name 'AwareAidOn' is a blend of words consisting of three elements: (1) Aware(ness), (2) Aid, and (3) Métron (measurement), -> Awareness aid and measurement/focusing skills. It refers both to the innovative method described below and to the device/PC program developed/invented to support awareness and meditation practices using this particular approach. 'AwareAidOn' denotes an approach based both on spiritual and scientific grounds, and at the same time refers to the device developed for the practical application of this particular approach. AwareAidOn involves the use of sound events the nature and frequency/occurrence of which can be modified according to a sophisticated system in order to support mindfulness/meditation practices.

AwareAidOn should not be understood to be a new type of mindfulness/meditation practice. Instead, AwareAidOn will support practitioners in doing what they are intent on doing: namely practicing mindfulness/meditation. In this sense, AwareAidOn is not what will be essential for their practice. What is essential, and what remains unchanged and the major point of focus for the practitioner, is the awareness/meditation exercise as such. AwareAidOn, however, provides practitioners with a valuable tool for realizing that which is really essential.

L. J. Grepmair explored the effect of AwareAidOn phenomenologically on himself and on his own clients, with experienced meditators also serving as test subjects. The results revealed that AwareAidOn really provides helpful support for many mindfulness and meditation practitioners.
