"Heal 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 by connecting to our true essence, which can never be wounded or harmed. Dr. Blackstone is best known as the creator of The Realization Process, a powerful approach to healing and awakening based on deep contact with the internal space of one's body. In this book, she shows us how trauma of the past may haunt our present life by getting unconsciously bound within the fascia (connective tissue) of the body, causing physical and emotional pain. Dr. Blackstone guides us through step-by-step processes to unwind those constrictions by connecting to a transcendent field, setting the body free of trauma once and for all and creating an unbreakable, unified ground of being." --Publisher description

The Enlightenment Process describes the process of enlightenment as the gradual realization of our most subtle dimension of unified, all-pervasive consciousness. It also explains how we uncover our authentic selfhood and embodiment at the same time as we arrive at our spiritual oneness with other people, the world, and cosmos.Using a set of simple but effective meditational and physical exercises for "subtle self" work, Judith Blackstone clearly and expertly indicates the way in which we can deepen our spiritual awareness, develop our capacity for contact with other people, and reconnect with the world. Her lifetime of experience in depth-psychology, bodywork, and Kundalini yoga gives this book a distinctive authority and clarity. This revised and expanded version of The Enlightenment Process is an invaluable guide that will lead readers in navigating the confusing or conflicting teachings on enlightenment. It does this by giving a more comprehensive description of the enlightened state. Anyone who has already started on the spiritual path or has a background in psychotherapy will be able to appreciate The Enlightenment Process more fully as it is a significant contribution to our understanding of the more advanced stages of personal growth. Included in the book are 18 practical exercises that will assist readers on this path to self-awareness.

"Zen from its foundation in China of the 6th Century AD, has always been more than a religion. It is an intriguing system of principles and practice designed to give each individual the experience of eternity in a split second, the knowledge of divinity in every living thing. To create a book about Zen, however, is risky. It is one thing to describe the factual history of this exotic strain of Buddhism. It's quite another to successfully convey the crazy wisdom of the Zen masters, their zany sense of their uncanny ability to pass on the experience of enlightenment to their students. The authors of Zen For Beginners have clearly overcome these considerable risks. The books uses an engaging mix of clear, informative writing and delightful illustrations to document the story of Zen from its impact on Chinese and Japanese culture to its influence on American writers such as Japanese culture to its influence on American writers such as Ginsberg and Kerouac."--Amazon.com viewed Oct. 15, 2020

Es gibt zwei Arten von Traumata: extreme Ereignisse, die uns mit Wucht treffen, und Beziehungstraumata, die oft in der Kindheit entstehen. Während extreme Traumata durch einmalige, gravierende Ereignisse verursacht werden, entstehen Beziehungstraumata durch wiederholte, schmerzhafte Erlebnisse. Diese scheinbar unbedeutenden Ereignisse können unser Leben tiefgreifend prägen und zu dauerhaften psychischen Beeinträchtigungen führen. Der Körper reagiert auf solche Traumatisierungen, indem er sich zusammenzieht, was sowohl physische als auch emotionale Schmerzen auslöst. Dies kann zu chronischer Traurigkeit, Wutanfällen, Panikattacken oder einem Gefühl der Entfremdung führen. Judith Blackstone beschreibt, dass unsere wahre Natur, die Fähigkeit zu Glück, Liebe und Weisheit, oft im Schmerz verborgen ist. Sie hat über vier Jahrzehnte eine Methode entwickelt, um diese traumatischen Einschnürungen aufzulösen. Der Realization Process, eine körperorientierte Meditationstechnik, ermöglicht es den Betroffenen, sich mit ihrem elementaren Bewusstsein zu verbinden. Diese Methode vereint spirituelles Erwachen, psychologische Heilung und Verkörperung, wodurch Betroffene von ihrem Trauma befreit werden und zu einer inneren Sicherheit zurückfinden, die sie vor weiteren Einschränkungen schützt.
