The Realization Process: A Step-By-Step Guide to Embodied Spiritual Awakening

Judith Blackstone

A Step-By-Step Course in Embodied Spiritual AwakeningIt is possible to live more deeply, more intimately in touch with yourself and with the world around you. It is possible to experience your interconnection with everything, even as you express your own utter uniqueness. All it takes is a subtle inner attunement to your own body and mind. With The Realization Process, Dr. Judith Blackstone shares for the first time a complete audio training course in her original method for embodied spiritual awakening, through a series of transformational exercises taught here step by step.Attunement to "Fundamental Consciousness"At the heart of this work is what Dr. Blackstone calls fundamental consciousness-a primary dimension of being that is the basis of both our individual sense of self and the transcendence of our separateness. This is not something we can grasp conceptually; we need to touch it directly. "As fundamental consciousness, we pervade both the subject and the object of experience," she explains. "We move from imagination to actuality-to truly see, truly touch, truly hear." For the past 25 years in her psychotherapy practice, Dr. Blackstone has developed meditative practices for attuning to fundamental consciousness in oneself and in others. On The Realization Process, she guides you through beginner and advanced versions of these practices, including the core breath technique for accessing the body's central energetic pathway; seeing, hearing, and moving with fundamental consciousness; attuning to the three qualities of fundamental consciousness (awareness, emotion, and physical sensation); and relational exercises for healing and growth in intimate partnerships.HighlightsUndoing the "holding patterns" that impede spiritual realizationThe subtle core-your entryway into fundamental consciousnessThe maturation of the egoHow to stabilize and expand your spiritual awakeningFollowing your body's energetic "circuitry" as a path to deeper embodimentSix hours of insights and guided exercises for transforming your experience of yourself, your relationships, and the world
