Empathic Ground Certification Training

The Relationship Aspect of the Realization Process

With Judith Blackstone

May 16-20, 2024 at 10:00 AM – 4:30 PM, with an hour break each day on Thursday-Sunday, and 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM on Monday

This training is now full.  Please contact us to be put on a waiting list.

In Person!  In Woodstock, New York

This training teaches the Realization Process practices for helping couples attune to each other as fundamental consciousness, and for facilitating mutual attunement in groups of people. Participants will learn how to recognize and help people release limitations in their contact with other people, to balance separation and intimacy in their relationships, and to resolve the fears that emerge in relationships and in groups.

When two people, or a group of people, attune to fundamental consciousness together, they experience that they are made of the same expanse of consciousness pervading their own body and the bodies of other people at the same time. This is the basis of our true boundaries. We can experience deep contact with other people, without losing inward contact with ourselves. The mutual attunement to fundamental consciousness also helps people relate more authentically, with less projection, and with the love, empathy and compassion that emerge spontaneously when we realize nonduality – our oneness with others.

Requirements for registration: Certification in at least one aspect of the Realization Process: Healing Ground, Embodiment or Meditation.  (This short training does not count toward full certification).

Certification: Realization Process Empathic Ground Teacher

Cost for Training – $800 (Does not include lodging.  There are many inexpensive hotels and airbnbs in the area.)

In the Realization Process, nondual realization is the uncovering of our primary nature: fundamental consciousness pervading our body and environment as a unity. This training teaches the main Realization Process practices for embodied nondual awakening, as well as specific practices for cultivating the subtlety, openness, luminosity and steadiness of nondual realization. The training includes sitting, standing and walking meditations for opening subtle perception, refining your breath and energy and deepening your innate capacities for love, pleasure and mental clarity.  As fundamental consciousness, we are both empty and present.  We are both whole within our individual being and unified with everyone and everything around us.

Participants will learn how to perceive and help people overcome individual obstacles to nondual realization, and how to accelerate results in meditation practice for both beginning and advanced practitioners. The training is also an opportunity to deepen your own realization of fundamental consciousness, through intensive practice of the Realization Process meditations.

Requirements for registration: If this is your first Realization Process Teacher Certification Training, you must have at least five hours of prior experience of the Realization Process practices in a workshop, classes or private sessions with Judith or a senior Realization Process teacher, and one private session with a senior Realization Process teacher before registering for the training.

Online Realization Process Embodiment Certification Training

With Judith Blackstone

October 4, 2024 – April 11, 2025

Online, via Zoom

This training includes the main Realization Process practices for embodied nondual awakening, as well as specific embodiment and gentle movement practices for attuning to fundamental consciousness within one’s whole body. These practices cultivate internal unity, balance, fluidity, presence and subtle energy within the body.

As the embodiment of fundamental consciousness, we become both empty and present at the same time.  We know ourselves as the integration of awareness, emotion and physical sensation.  We perceive, understand, touch, move, and express ourselves with the whole breadth of our being.

Participants will learn how to recognize and help people resolve chronic imbalances and tensions in the body that limit embodiment and the realization of fundamental consciousness. The training is also an opportunity to deepen your own embodiment and realization of nondual, fundamental consciousness.

Realization Process Healing Ground Certification Training

In Person!  Spring, 2025

Healing Ground is the spiritual psychotherapy aspect of the Realization Process.  This training teaches the main Realization Process practices for embodied nondual awakening, and their application to personal maturity and psychological healing. Specific practices are taught for listening and responding to another person as fundamental consciousness, for subtle reading of constrictions and openness in one’s own and another person’s body, and for recognizing and releasing emotional wounds and trauma-based constrictions from the body. 

The Realization Process practices can help people access a dimension of themselves that has never been injured, that is deeper and more subtle than even the most strongly held negative beliefs, depression and anxiety.  They also develop sensory and emotional resilience, grounding, self-possession, and self-acceptance.  They can help sensitive people live more comfortably in the world.

Format: The training is taught in two five-day parts.  For Part One, you have a choice between the senior Realization Process teachers listed below.  Part Two is taught by Judith Blackstone.  Registration is limited to thirty  people.

All of the trainings help to cultivate the ability:

1. To “see-feel” within the body of another person without losing inward contact with oneself.
2. To recognize holding patterns that obstruct embodiment, personal maturity, relationships and nondual awakening.
3. To receive another person in the clear space of fundamental consciousness with acceptance and compassion.
