The Realization Process

The Realization Process

The Realization Process, developed by Judith Blackstone, is a transformative approach to embodied personal and relational healing, as well as nondual spiritual awakening. It is a series of precise attunement practices for realizing fundamental consciousness, described by Judith as “an undivided expanse of luminous transparency, pervading your body and environment as a unity.” This work is both gentle and powerful, allowing us to inhabit our body more fully and experience a deep sense of wholeness and connection.

Inhabiting the internal space of the body is synonymous with mind-body integration. This integration produces a subtle, unified experience of being. The philosopher Yuasa (1987) describes this: “The ‘mind’ here is not the surface consciousness, but is the ‘mind’ that penetrates into the body and deeply subjectivizes it” This embodied consciousness is experienced as a homogenous mixture of awareness, emotion and physical sensation (or proprioception ) reaching everywhere in the body at once. This means that awareness is not fragmented from physical sensation, as a distant observer of one’s experience. Rather, one’s observing and experiencing functions become unified. Judith Blackstone

Nonduality

Fundamental consciousness is the primary, undivided ground of being that resides within us. Judith Blackstone describes it as “deepening and refining all human capacities: for physical sensation, emotional responsiveness, understanding, and perception.” It opens us to our innate happiness and allows us to experience a true oneness with everything around us. In my work, I support clients in stabilizing this realization, helping them expand their self-awareness and achieve inner harmony.

Healing From Trauma

The Realization Process includes Healing Ground practices, which apply fundamental consciousness to the release of deeply held trauma patterns. These patterns are often stored in the nervous system and within the cells of the body, creating chronic tension, emotional blockages, and constrictions. Judith explains that this process frees us to embody our authentic nature, “allowing us to more fully love, create, and experience the innate joy within our body.” I combine these practices with other modalities, including psychedelic medicine, to help clients access and release trauma that feels “stuck,” restoring a sense of ease and flow.

Oneness with Others

Through Empathic Ground practices, the Realization Process applies fundamental consciousness to relationships, enabling deep contact with others while maintaining inward connection to ourselves. These practices dissolve fixed relational patterns, heal attachment wounds, and repair boundary issues. By working with these practices, I help clients cultivate healthier, more intimate, and harmonious relationships, rooted in presence and authenticity.

Spiritual Movement and Dance

The Stillness Moving practices of the Realization Process explore embodiment and movement as pathways to balance, vitality, and creative expression. Judith describes this as “moving as the embodiment of fundamental consciousness, allowing for fluid and expressive movement.” These practices are particularly effective for healing chronic bodily tensions and imbalances, helping clients feel more vibrantly alive and at ease in their bodies.medicine complements the Realization Process by helping to dissolve psychological barriers and open pathways to embodied awareness. Together, these approaches create a powerful synergy for healing trauma, expanding self-awareness, and awakening fundamental consciousness—the undivided ground of being that pervades both our body and environment.
