Realization Process understands spiritual realization
to be an embodied experience of spaciousness and
fluidity. This training will help you develop fluidity, ease and balance, and awaken the clear light of nondual consciousness throughout your whole body. When you embody
nondual consciousness, you perceive, understand, feel, touch and move with
your whole being.
The training also teaches how to apply nondual consciousness to self-
healing or healing others of physical injuries and somatically bound
emotional pain. It can be of particular use to psychotherapists and
bodyworkers who want to enhance their healing abilities. Particular
emphasis is placed on developing the ability to maintain inward
contact with yourself while being open and responsive to other
people, and on facilitating the spontaneous process of personal
growth. The training also develops subtle perception so that you can
discern energetic holding patterns in the internal space of the body.
Above all, this is an opportunity to deepen and stabilize your realization of nondual reality.

|
The
Spiritual Psychotherapy training teaches
the application of the main Realization Process
exercises to psychological healing.
It also teaches specific Realization Process exercises for recognizing and releasing
the psychological wounds,
defenses and compensatory attitudes that are held
in the body and conceal our authentic, spiritual
nature. They
are designed to help people shift from the contracted
self/body and I/other fragmentations to an experience
of oneness within themselves, with other people
and with their environment.
Realization Process helps accomplish
the main tasks of psychotherapy by developing the
sense of self-possession and self-worth,
deepening the capacity for intimacy, reducing stress
and enabling people to receive and respond to life
with increased depth and spontaneity.
This training also includes the relational aspect of Realization Process. Participants will learn how
to remain in unified consciousness while listening
to each other's psychological process, how to attune
more precisely to that process, and how to read the
subtle pattern of openness and defense in the body. They will also learn how to help couples attune more effectively to each other. |

Realization Process Meditation. |
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.
This training focuses on the Meditation aspect of Realization Process. Participants will learn how to help people overcome specific obstacles to nondual realization, and how to accelerate results in meditation for both beginning and advanced students. Along with the Realization Process attunement exercises, various forms of meditation, such as resting in nonduality, mindfulness, absorption, deity visualization, and one-pointed concentration will be taught, with discussion of their applications to personal and spiritual issues.
The training is also an opportunity to deepen your own nondual realization, through intensive practice. The Realization Process exercises will be combined with periods of sitting, standing and walking meditation for cultivating stable nondual realization, subtle breath, subtle perception, and openness throughout the whole body.

Realization Process: Working with Children |
This training is for parents, teachers and therapists working with children.
Realization Process teaches children to find both calm and vitality within themselves. This training combines visual aids, music and movement with the Realization Process exercises to help children awaken their innate qualities of love, understanding and personal strength. Children learn how to interact with others from a secure, peaceful place. This work is especially helpful in times of stress or transition. In Kathleen's ten years of teaching Realization Process to children, she has had success in helping them alleviate anxiety, depression, the symptoms of ADHD and sensory processing issues. The work also helps with anger management.

General
Description of Realization Process Training |
|
The Realization Process
Training prepares
you to participate in the newly emerging, twenty-first
century paradigm of personal and spiritual growth.
This new understanding recognizes that awakening
to the primary, spiritual dimension of ourselves
is the basis of spiritual realization, psychological
maturity and physical well-being.
Realization Process offers a
technique for realizing the unified, all-pervasive
consciousness that is our spiritual dimension.
This subtle consciousness is the basis
of our individual authentic being, and our oneness
with all other life.
The training/certification program
prepares you to teach Realization Process, to
develop subtle vision for reading mental/emotional
binding and vibrational changes in the body and
to combine the Realization Process attunement
exercises with psychological healing.
The training program consists of three year-long
courses: Realization Process Meditation,
Spiritual Psychotherapy (Subtle Self Work) and
Movement/Embodiment. A certificate is given
on completion of each course, authorizing you
to teach that aspect of Realization Process.
On completion of all three courses, you receive
full certification as a Realization Process Practitioner.
Testimonials from people
who have completed the Realization Process training:
“The Realization Process
trainings have been absolutely transformational
for me, with the work touching nearly every aspect
of my life. Personally, I am much more embodied
and present, comfortable in my own skin in a way
that I have never been before. I feel that I am
constantly moving forward in my development and,
dare I say, self realization. Professionally,
Realization Process informs all the work and practices
that I do, from trauma counseling to QiGong exercises,
giving me greater access and facility. Inter-personally,
Realization Process allows me to interact more
authentically and deeply, while maintaining my
own boundaries. I can't praise this Work enough."
Henri Tischler, Brooklyn, NY
"Realization Process has
helped me in many ways. I am more awake, grounded
and available for living. The exercises have worked
remarkably over time to free me from limitation.
I bearly recognize who I was. It's a dream come
true to enjoy life, myself and others more and
more."
Kathleen Donovan, Woodstock,
NY
I originally came to Realization
Process work in search of a meditation group.
I immediately liked Judith’s guided meditation,
focusing on the internal space of the body. The
work is helping me to become more grounded and
focused in daily life and relationships. I use
the exercises both to go deeper into my solitude
at quiet moments and to be more present and stable
when I am with other people. My sense of my self
and the world is opening. I find that the blend
of psychological work, meditation, and physical
movement has helped me to integrate different
parts of my life into one developmental path.
Judith is unique in her ability to convey the
concepts of Asian nondual philosophies in a secular
way to Westerners.
William Persky, Larchmont, New
York
“Judith Blackstone's Realization
Process is a real gem. The process has given me
the gift of myself in ways that I never thought
possible. Through this process of deepening my
own realization of who I am, my world is more
friendly, my relationships more
vibrant, my work more satisfying. This work is
a gift to the planet and a good fortune to anyone
who practices it.”
Grant Tyler, Connecticut
“After a short advaita-type
opening my ego reasserted itself with a felt physical
and repressed emotional component. My practice
at that time had been largely mind-based. Realization
Process is providing the framework and tools to
access the unprocessed “stuff” to
rebalance as a complete human being. This is done
in the context of deepening spiritual contact
throughout the system -- embodiment. I live life
with more ease each day.”
Patricia Osbourn, New Jersey
"When I first was introduced
to Judith's work some years ago I felt an
immediate resonance. I was looking for a daily
meditative practice that
worked for me - and focusing on the body felt
like a way in. Since that
first introduction, and reading her books, I did
two weekend workshops with
Judith, and now the Embodiment aspect of the Realization
Process Training.
The training considerably deepened the experience
and effects of the
practice for me. After a relatively short time
of experiencing the benefits of doing the
exercises I began to bring aspects of them into
my work as a teacher of
Creative Speech. My love of the exercises, the
way in which they continue to help me in
everyday life, and now the beginning of a new
work combining Realization Process with Creative
Speech, brings me great joy and gratitude."
Philippa Timewell, Scotland,
UK
