Realization Process Teacher Certification Training

All of the Realization Process Teacher Certification Trainings can help you become a more embodied, empathic, healing presence, more finely attuned to yourself and others. They prepare and authorize you to use this deeply transformative method with your own students and clients.

Realization Process has three parts. It is a spiritual technique that can lead you to the realization of your own nature as the undivided self-other oneness of fundamental consciousness. It is an embodiment technique that can help you deepen contact with yourself, to feel whole within your body, and uncover the subtle qualities of your aliveness. And it is a psychotherapeutic technique that uses attunement to fundamental consciousness, embodiment practices, release practices and therapeutic dialogue to help heal the effects of painful circumstances in our early lives.

Any of these three aspects of Realization Process can be used alone, or in combination with other spiritual, embodiment and psychotherapeutic techniques. There is a core training for each of these three aspects: Meditation, Embodiment and Healing Ground. The completion of any of these core trainings prepares and authorizes you to teach that aspect of the Realization Process. Full certification is awarded at the completion of all three.

There are also supplemental trainings, such as The Empathic Ground that focuses on the relationship practices of the Realization Process and Stillness Moving that focuses on the Realization Process movement practices. The Realization Process Therapy Training is open to fully certified Realization Process Teachers.

If you are taking your first Realization Process teacher training, you must have at least five hours of prior experience of the Realization Process practices with Judith Blackstone or a Realization Process teacher in classes, workshops or private sessions (not a recording or a book). Senior teachers are listed on the Senior Teachers page of this website. If your RP teacher is not listed there, you may write to judithblackstone@gmail.com to ask if your teacher qualifies to provide you with some or all of the five hours. There are also workshops and classes, taught by Judith and by fully certified teachers listed on the Schedule of Events page of this website.

Additionally, you need to do at least one session with a Realization Process Senior Teacher to review the two main Realization Process practices:

1. Attunement to Fundamental Consciousness
2. Core Breath

A list of senior teachers can be found here. That teacher should send an email to Judith at judithblackstone@gmail.com confirming that you have completed your session.

Online: On Zoom for a six-month period from October–April with Judith Blackstone. This training includes twelve classes, weekly partner practice, written reports, and optional cohort sessions.

In Person: Two five-day modules. Part One is taught by senior teachers in various locations, and Part Two is taught by Judith Blackstone in Woodstock, New York.

Each training prepares and authorizes you to teach that aspect of the Realization Process. A certificate is awarded at the completion of each training. Full certification is awarded at the completion of all three trainings.

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.

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.

Two five-day modules. The first module is taught by senior Realization Process teachers and the second module is taught by Judith Blackstone. Registration is limited to thirty people. Participants are expected to engage in four practice sessions with a partner assigned from within the training group between the two modules.

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. This 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.

In the Realization Process, we access and live within the subtle, vertical core of the body and the internal space of the body in order to let go more completely into our primary nature—the pervasive expanse of fundamental consciousness.

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.

Certification
Realization Process Meditation Teacher

The main Realization Process practices for embodied nondual awakening, as well as specific embodiment and gentle movement practices for cultivating 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 their embodiment and realization of fundamental consciousness.

Certification
Realization Process Embodiment Teacher

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, and help sensitive people live more comfortably in the world.

Certification
Realization Process Healing Ground Teacher

Each of the trainings prepares and authorizes you to teach that aspect of the Realization Process. A certificate is awarded at the completion of each training. Full certification is awarded at the completion of all three trainings: Meditation, Healing Ground and Embodiment. The trainings may be taken in any order.

The teacher certification trainings are for people who intend to teach the Realization Process or to integrate it into their current professional work.

Cost
$1600 ($1200 if you are repeating the training)
