Brings Asian theories of consciousness into dialogue with Western psychotherapeutic practices.The Empathic Ground explores the experience of nondual consciousness as the basis of human connection, and describes its importance for psychological healing. It looks at the therapeutic relationship from the perspectives of psychoanalytic intersubjectivity theory and Asian nondual philosophy, finding practical meeting points between them that illuminate crucial issues in psychotherapy, such as transference and counter-transference, the nature of subjectivity, and the role of the body. The book also includes a series of exercises developed by the author for realizing nondual consciousness in the clinical setting. Access to this subtle, unified dimension of consciousness develops both our individual human capacities-perception, understanding, love, and physical pleasure-and our relationships with other people. It thus has profound significance for both psychological healing and development, and for the relationship of psychotherapist and client.

The Fullness of the Ground is a guide to embodied nondual realisation and its profound effect on our senses, our ability to love, our experience of our own authentic existence, and our connection with other living beings. It distills Dr. Judith Blackstone’s decades of teaching into the essentials of the nondual spiritual path.The first part of the book provides ways to make sense of the conflicting theories about nonduality available to spiritual seekers today. It describes the lived experience of nondual awakening as the uncovering of a subtle, fundamental consciousness that pervades our body and our environment. This provides the ground of our individual wholeness, the fullness of our embodied being, that coexists with our experience of unity with everything around us. The second part takes readers through the author’s signature path to nondual awakening, called the Realization Process®, providing effective practices for recognizing, embodying, and stabilising in nondual realisation. And the third part describes ways to bring this awareness into daily life and relationships. This book can help readers experience for themselves the essential oneness that underlies all life.

"Just as an open hand is hidden within a fist, our true nature, with its innate capacities for happiness, love, and wisdom, is hidden within our pain and numbness. Just as we can open a fist to reveal a hand, our unbound, unconstructed being can emerge from our pain and breathe again." —Dr. Judith Blackstone, Trauma and the Unbound BodyHeal trauma. Reclaim your body. Live with wholeness. These are the gifts of utilizing the power of fundamental consciousness—a subtle field of awareness that lies within each of us. In Trauma and the Unbound Body, Dr. Judith Blackstone explores how we can resolve the mental, physical, and emotional struggles of trauma through the power of fundamental consciousness.Dr. Blackstone weaves her 30-plus years of psychotherapy practice to present a simple yet revolutionary approach to healing trauma. She writes, "All of the constrictions in our fascia (the connective tissue surrounding muscles and organs) are moments of our past that we have stopped in their tracks and held in that way, unconsciously. They are frozen moments of our past." Trauma and the Unbound Body explains how and why the body constricts in response to trauma, causing physical and emotional pain. Dr. Blackstone guides us through step-by-step processes to unwind those constrictions by attuning to fundamental consciousness, setting the body free of trauma once and for all by uncovering an unbreakable, unified ground of being.In Trauma and the Unbound Body, Dr. Blackstone discusses:? The five main purposes for bodily constriction—and how to release them to return to wholeness? How to inhabit the body as fundamental consciousness to liberate trauma-based constrictions? The Realization Process—a meditative practice for embodied spiritual awakening? Discovering the unified ground of being within the body that enables lasting change
