The Fullness of the Ground

A Guide to Embodied Awakening

By: Judith Blackstone PhD

Narrated by: Robin McAlpine

An inviting guide to nondual awakening that is fully embodied, deeply connected, and available in every moment

The Fullness of the Ground distills Dr. Judith Blackstone’s decades of teaching into the essentials of the nondual spiritual path. Embodied nondual realization can have a profound effect on your senses, your experience of your own authentic existence, and your relationships and ability to love.

The first part of this guide introduces the lived experience of nondual awakening as the uncovering of a subtle, fundamental consciousness that pervades your body and environment—the ground of your individual wholeness, the fullness of your embodied being, and unity with everything around you. The second part shares Dr. Blackstone’s signature path to nondual awakening, the Realization Process®, with effective practices for recognizing, embodying, and stabilizing nondual realization. And the third part describes ways to bring this awareness into your daily life and relationships.

In practicing this work, you will learn how to:

• Deepen your connection with your body, your breath, and your environment

• Attune to fundamental consciousness at any time, in any setting

• Awaken to a stable realization of nonduality

• Cultivate happiness, authenticity, and presence

This guide offers a powerful yet accessible invitation to experience the essential oneness that underlies all life.

Critic reviews

“Judith Blackstone has the rare capacity to guide readers into a direct experience of embodied, nondual realization. Not only that, she offers clear wisdom teachings that enable us to bring the fruits of this awakening—love, vitality, clarity, openness—alive in all facets of our life. Highly recommended.” —Tara Brach, author of Radical Acceptance and Trusting the Gold

“Judith Blackstone continues her pioneering work in the field of embodied nonduality by guiding us to the direct experience of our fundamental ground in and through our body that is both spacious and substantial, empty and radiantly full, individuated and undivided from the whole of life. An important, groundbreaking work marked by clear insight, subtle sensitivity, and practical guidance. Highly recommended!” —John J. Prendergast, PhD, author of The Deep Heart and In Touch

“In The Fullness of the Ground Judith Blackstone offers a beautifully written and masterful guidebook that provides us with a clear, contemporary, and exquisitely outlined path of wisdom and practices for recognizing and embodying our innate Wholeness amid our daily lives, whereby we can experience true connection and intimacy within ourselves and with the world around us. This is a gem of a book that lays a firm foundation for realizing and embodying our birthright of both psychological integration and spiritual awakening. Both profound and practical, Blackstone reveals the road we all must travel to embody our potential as fully alive, awake, and authentic human beings. A must-read!” —Richard Miller, PhD, author of iRest Meditation and The iRest Program for Healing PTSD

Simple and profound

I appreciate the focus here is on direct experience and not just ideas or philosophy. A very practical and powerful practice to realize nonduality.

Narration ruins content

The monotonous narration makes the practice guides useless. The attunement/meditation practice instructions are just read through like a shopping list. Skip this if you actually want to practice or if you want to experience real narration that sounds like they understand what they say, because this (automated?) voice doesn't.
