A Step-By-Step Course in Embodied Spiritual Awakening It 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. Highlights Undoing 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

The Fullness of the Ground is a guide to embodied nondual realisation and its profound effect on our senses, our ability to love, our experience of our own authentic existence, and our connection with other living beings. It distills Dr. Judith Blackstone’s decades of teaching into the essentials of the nondual spiritual path. The first part of the book provides ways to make sense of the conflicting theories about nonduality available to spiritual seekers today. It describes the lived experience of nondual awakening as the uncovering of a subtle, fundamental consciousness that pervades our body and our environment. This provides the ground of our individual wholeness, the fullness of our embodied being, that coexists with our experience of unity with everything around us. The second part takes readers through the author’s signature path to nondual awakening, called the Realization Process®, providing effective practices for recognizing, embodying, and stabilising in nondual realisation. And the third part describes ways to bring this awareness into daily life and relationships. This book can help readers experience for themselves the essential oneness that underlies all life.
