Realization Process Intensive

Ann Arbor, Michigan

October 20-24, 2012

This intensive will include the meditation, embodiment, relationship and psychological healing aspects of the Realization Process.

 

In Realization Process, the radical openness of nondual realization is based on deep contact with the internal space of one’s body and access to the “wisdom channel” in the subtle core of the body. We therefore uncover a qualitative, authentic experience of ourselves as individuals at the same time as we transcend our individuality. 

When two people attune to nondual awareness together, they experience mutual transparency: a single expanse of awareness pervading them both as a unity. They also experience resonant connection between the essential aspects of their being, such as intelligence, love, and physical sensation.

 Most approaches to nonduality focus on breaking through fixed conceptual patterns.  However, the fixations that obscure nonduality are not just conceptual.  There are also rigid holding patterns throughout one’s body, limiting our capacity for emotional responsiveness and physical sensation.  The subtle core of the body is disentangled from these rigidities.  When we access it, we can let go of our fixed patterns of self and other, so that they actually dissolve.  Then we are open to the present moment, effortlessly, throughout our whole body.

The intensive is an opportunity to deepen and stabilize your nondual realization, heal deep rooted psychological wounds and uncover your internal cohesion and wholeness.

Applying Nondual Consciousness to Personal and Relational Healing

This teacher training program teaches participants how to apply the Realization Process exercises to personal healing, relational healing, and nondual realization. It also teaches specific exercises for recognizing and releasing the emotional wounds, defenses, and compensatory attitudes in the body that conceal our authentic nature. These exercises are easy, gentle attunements to the internal space of the body, the subtle core of the body, and the essential qualities of being.

 

In conjunction with psychological healing, the Realization Process exercises help individuals discover a dimension of themselves that has never been injured, one that is deeper or more subtle than even the most strongly held negative beliefs, depression, or anxiety. Our spiritual essence is beyond injury. By connecting to it, even deeply rooted effects of trauma can be alleviated. At New York University Medical School, two pilot studies showed that the Realization Process exercises reduced symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder and helped to elevate mood.

 

This training includes the relational aspect of Realization Process. Participants will learn how to remain in nondual consciousness while listening to each other's psychological process, how to attune more precisely to that process, and how to discern subtle patterns of openness and defense in the body. The realization of self-other unity deepens the capacity for empathy and intimacy, helping individuals connect more fully in relationship, without losing inward contact with themselves.

Or send a check to Judith Blackstone

PO Box 1209, Woodstock, NY 12498

Payment will be refunded, minus $50, if you cancel by February 10, or in emergency situations.

The Realization Process exercises uncover the clear light of subtle, unified consciousness in the whole body.  This subtle consciousness is the basis of our individual authentic being, and our oneness with all life.  By inhabiting the whole body, we can enter into the unified (nondual) consciousness that pervades our body and environment as a unified whole.

 

The Embodiment training includes the main Realization Process attunement exercises, as well as a sequence for contacting and moving through unified consciousness in the internal space of the body. The exercises can help you experience internal unity, self-possession, increased vitality, increased contact with yourself and others, and the integration of awareness, emotion and sensation.  They can also help you release defensive constrictions from your body and reclaim dissociated parts of yourself.

 

The training also teaches how to apply unified consciousness to healing physical injuries. 

 

This training is appropriate for anyone who wants to become more whole and open.  It can be of particular use to psychotherapists and bodyworkers who want to refine their healing abilities.  When we embody unified consciousness, we perceive, understand, touch, move and express ourselves with the whole breadth of our being.

Wherever you are in contact with the internal space of your body, you are also open to the world around you.  When you inhabit your whole body at once, you uncover a level of transparency, of unified consciousness, pervading your body and environment as a whole.

This workshop will teach the Realization Process movement exercises for inhabiting the body, attuning to and moving through the “subtle circuitry” of energy channels and chakras, and integrating the body, breath and unified consciousness.  These exercises develop fluidity, balance, presence and expressiveness.  They can help open you to the most subtle, fundamental dimension of your being.


 

 

 

Realization Process Weekend Workshop

With Judith Blackstone

January 13-15, 2012

At Esalen in Big Sur, California

 

To register, go to www.esalen.org

 

 

 

 

 

 


All spiritual traditions refer to an essential dimension of existence, calling it fundamental consciousness, True Self, non-duality, and many other names. This dimension is not an abstract concept. It is the core of our own true nature and is accessible to everyone.  Fundamental consciousness is experienced as clear, luminous space, pervading our body and our environment, transcending the duality of self and object. It is deeper than the physical and energetic levels of our being and beyond our psychological defenses, projections, images, and archetypes. Realization Process is a gentle, precise method of attuning to fundamental consciousness.

This workshop offers ways to: integrate fundamental consciousness with the body and breath/energy system; experience oneness with nature and people (while remaining grounded in your body); and see, hear, and touch on a subtler level. Realization Process attunement exercises will be combined with sitting and movement meditations, sound and breath work. We will also discuss how fundamental consciousness can facilitate psychological and physical healing. Please come prepared for deep, concentrated work.

There will also be time to enjoy the spectacular land and seascape, outdoor hot tubs and expert bodywork at Esalen.  It is a powerful, healing environment.

February 29 - Nonduality and the Brain with Zoran Josipovic

 Join Zoran in exploring the intersection of nonduality and brain science, where deep practice and current neuroscience research meet. Guided exercises in meditation and nonduality will be balanced with talks on what is happening in the brain. This workshop will be an opportunity to explore both the dualistic nature of our ordinary minds and the nondual nature of our essential awareness.

 

March 7 - An Embodied Approach to Nonduality with Judith Blackstone

Judith will teach a method of embodied nondual awakening called the Realization Process.  In this approach, the radical openness of nonduality is revealed by making deep contact with the internal space of one's body, and with a subtle channel in the vertical core of the body.  As we inhabit the internal space of the body, the constructed or imagined boundary between self and other dissolves.  We uncover an unbounded expanse of unified, transparent presence that pervades our body and environment as a whole.  In this way, we find an authentic experience of ourselves as individuals at the same time as we transcend our individuality. 

March 14 - Nonduality and Relationships with Judith Blackstone

In this workshop, Judith will teach relational attunement practices for opening to nondual awareness with a partner.  Nondual awakening deepens and refines our capacity for contact: with ourselves, with our environment, and with other human beings.  We are able to see, hear and touch with the bare perception of our true nature.  When two people open to nondual awareness together, they experience mutual transparency: a single expanse of awareness pervading them both as a unity. They also experience resonant connection between the essential qualities of their being, such as intelligence, love, and physical sensation. 

 

March 21  What can Neuroscience tell us about Meditation? with Zoran Josipovic
Research into the effects of meditation on the brain is gaining unprecedented public and scientific attention these days. Studies show that the practice of meditation has profound effects on the brain, inducing changes in both its functioning and anatomy. An equally important question is what does neuroscience have to contribute to our practice of meditation? This workshop will explore both the ways in which nondual practices can inform the scientific quest for understanding the brain and consciousness, and the ways in which science can bring a contemporary understanding to our practice of meditation.

 

March 28 - Nonduality and Psychotherapy with Judith Blackstone

Judith will teach psychological attunement exercises for recognizing and releasing the subtle holding patterns that constrict our body, energy and mind.  The release of these patterns facilitates and expands nondual awakening. The nondual essence of our being has never been injured. As we uncover it, we become free of depression, anxiety, bitterness and confusion. We also develop compassion for ourselves and others and increase our capacity for pleasure.

 

Saturday, March 31
