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.

Judith Blackstone has used her own recovery from debilitating illness to develop a thoughtful, heart-centred approach to reclaiming our realisation of our true nature. Blending her personal experience with that of her clinical practice and spiritual perspective Judith has produced a powerful and accessible programme. I particularly enjoy the practical exercises which strengthen our experience of embodied awareness, which is a powerful themes throughout the programme. This is a programme that needs to be worked through patiently and returned to pick up its rich nuances. Highly recommended.
Diving into the work of Judith Blackstone has been life changing for me!
I have recently started this programme so it is not a review of the entire package, just a comment that the sound level and quality are less than I would have expected. I have to put the volume on my computer up to maximum just to hear it at an acceptably comfortable audible level. The clarity of sound also is not the best. Hopefully this can be addressed for any future audio programmes by this author. I have not yet tried it with headphones (not always convenient for the exercises). But I am finding the exercises I've done so far helpful.
This method of meditation has transformed my life in so many ways.
First of all, I had a pretty rough childhood which included losing my mother at the age of 8, only 5 months after immigrating to the U.S. from Asia, and not knowing a single word of English. That, combined with a dysfunctional family to start with, left me pretty scarred growing up.
I read a ton of self-help books, and they all helped in some way. Went to a very expensive NLP therapist that charges $200/hour for about 1.5 years, and it helped me release a lot of old wounds.
After 1.5 years, I felt considerably better about my life and myself, so I stopped going to the therapist. But I knew there were still things I still wanted to work on regarding my feeling of safety and how I relate to others.
I was actually introduced to The Realization Process several months before I started seeing my expensive therapist, at a time in my life when I had been unemployed for about 2.5 years, broke, and had developed very severe anxiety around people as a result of my situation.
Because of my desperate situation, I was motivated to do the meditation every single day for a couple of months, and it helped me feel safe in my body and abated my anxiety so I could be calm during a crucial interview. I got the job, and thus began to piece my life together.
When my new job started back in 2012, the motivation to do the meditation waned because I was no longer in desperation, so I didn't practice the meditation again until I…
