Realization Process
“Enlightenment is a lasting transformation of our being,
involving our ongoing experience of life.”
– Judith Blackstone, Realization Process founder
The Realization Process offers a direct path to embodied nondual awakening, unwinding hearts, bodies, and minds towards wholeness, towards realizing our own nature as fundamental consciousness. Spontaneously present, infinitely spacious, fundamental consciousness is experienced as an unbound, luminous unified field of consciousness pervading our whole body and environment. As we make deep contact with the internal space of our body, release constrictions, refine our breath and our senses:
- We uncover inherent qualities of our being – power, sexuality, love, intelligence, voice.
- We dissolve constructed barriers between us and fundamental consciousness.
- We heal psychologically, relationally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
- We experience a deep and stable sense of well-being.
A physician taught me to access luminous states of consciousness after a catastrophic spinal injury. A Taoist taught me to the Tao of inner cultivation after a devastating divorce. Gently and precisely, Judith Blackstone, Realization Process founder, taught me to heal unresolved traumas from the core so that I could live consciously in my whole body, awake and responsive to the world around me.
I teach the path that I myself have been traveling. I’m thrilled to share this journey with you.
I invite you to read below, to learn more about the Realization Process through Judith’s words (excerpted from her books) and through the experiences of those who’ve shared their journeys with me.
Awaken to Your True Nature
“The body is our instrument of realization.
Enlightenment occurs in and through the body.”
– Judith Blackstone
As we attune to the inner space of our body, we awaken into a wondrous aliveness – a felt-sense of our own existence. We do not have to create or imagine this experience. The felt-sense of our own existence is not something separate from ourselves. We do not know it as an object. Rather, we’re directly experiencing an aliveness that feels like our true self.
Heal from the Core

“Our fundamental dimension of consciousness,
the core of our being, has never been injured.”
– Judith Blackstone
Painful memories and emotions are bound in the physical tissues of the body, along with the beliefs, projections, and defenses that result from these bound memories. There are literally places within our organism where the tissues of the body have rigidified in the shape of chronic contraction patterns. As we release bound fragments of consciousness, the present is no longer conditioned and limited by our past.
Dissolve Obstacles to Intimacy

“Spiritual maturity can be seen as the realization
of the fundamental unity of the relational field.”
– Judith Blackstone
We relate authentically when we experience oneness with others – without losing contact with our self. The self that distances from others is just a shadow of our true self. The connection we make by merging is just a fraction of our capacity for intimacy. Spiritual oneness is a deepened and simultaneous contact with ourselves and with our environment.
Grow Towards Wholeness

“To become enlightened is to move from a
fragmented experience of life to a unified experience.”
– Judith Blackstone
Wholeness is naturally empty, free from conceptual contrivance. Living within the body, conscious and in contact with ourselves everywhere in the body, we experience a feeling of internal coherence which dissolves the conceptually-based boundary between self and other, along with the defensive, strategizing self. Living in the subtle core of the body, we enter into the direct experience of self-other oneness. Contact with ourselves all the way through the internal depth of our body produces a lived experience of continuity and connection with everything and everyone that we encounter.
Live Joyously

“Enlightenment is not something other than our humanness.
It is the fruition of our humanness.”
– Judith Blackstone
One woman talks about the glow of embodiment as she crunches her morning cereal. Another says that she’s blooming, now that she’s inhabiting her body. Others describe the warmth and tenderness of authentic connection. Sometimes even after just a few sessions, people say it feels like they’re coming home.
“Roma is the most amazing teacher. She has great skill at holding space, pushing and probing in the most kindest and gentlest of ways that can bring about such dramatic and subtle change simultaneously. Very few have the depth of experience, kindness, inclusiveness and generosity as Roma, whilst remaining true to herself. It has been a truly wonderful and magical journey. Thank you.”
“Through her unending compassion, presence, and creativity, Roma creates a uniquely safe and supportive container for deepening and growth. I have particularly enjoyed and benefited from Roma’s dynamic teaching style – her ability to respond to the needs and shifts within the group with incredible sensitivity and grace. The space felt relaxed, and I found that Roma’s personal touches and clear passion for this work went a long way.”
“The very best teachers are not preoccupied by their title of teacher. The very best teachers are fueled by the student’s experience of unwinding contractions to experience the vastness of who we are. Roma is fierce in her commitment to enable her students and tender in her step-by-step instructions.”
“I can’t even imagine finding anyone else that I would trust to teach me these kinds of practices. My family no longer triggers me. Love and safety live in my body.”
“You are the only person I named teacher. Our sessions bring me to where I want to be, where I feel that I belong. You give me the tools and the map and the courage to go down the path I know I belong. I’ve so much gratitude and trust in you.”
“Every cell in my body is being lit up by joy. My body calibrates to the light in your being. You are the mirror I never had to help me connect to myself. I see you as a teacher of the language of the soul.”
