Enlightenment Process: A Guide to Embodied Spiritual Awakening

by Judith Blackstone

Overview

This new revised and expanded version of 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.

Editorial Reviews

"Judith Blackstone's The Enlightenment Process carves a clear path through the confusing nature of human life, cutting away the underbrush of our own misconceptions about and resistance to the practice of awakening. I recommend it to anyone–newcomers to the path of meditation and consciousness work, and those who have been studying for years. What a gem of a book, written by one of those rare authors who writes beautifully, from the core of her own experience, and in service of the reader

Elizabeth Lesser

"Judith Blackstone's book is an important contribution to the field of "applied spirituality," shedding light on human possibilities, clarifying many areas that are often confused, and offering practical exercises to explore the nature of consciousness and the human soul. I find that there is much in this book that corresponds with my own experience on the Sufi path."

Kabir Helminski

"Happiness is being at peace with oneself. The Enlightenment Process is now in a newly revised edition.... With methods to help readers discover enlightenment and get in touch with their consciousness, this is the ideal guide for those seeking to reach the ultimate goal of spiritual oneness. Highly recommended for community library spirituality collections."
