A panel on The Nature of Mind: Clear Light Awareness
Implications for Scientific Research into Consciousness and Wellbeing

The Nature of Mind: Clear Light Awareness
Implications for Scientific Research into Consciousness and Wellbeing

A recurring theme in Asian contemplative traditions is teaching about clear light awareness as the nature of mind or consciousness that abides in the background of all our experience. In contemporary science, consciousness is still considered a mystery, something that has been challenging to research and difficult to conceptualize. 

This panel brings together some of the leading thinkers in the fields of religion, philosophy and neuroscience to explore the relevance of Buddhist and Hindu views about clear light awareness for contemporary research in consciousness and wellbeing. An enhanced understanding of consciousness could optimize both the scientific research, and the clinical approaches to general well-being and treatment of various disorders.

Realization Process weekly meditation classes
with Judith Blackstone

Monday evenings, 6:00 – 7:15pm

Realization Process Meditation: Practices for embodied nondual awakening

Realization Process is an embodied approach to nondual awakening. This class teaches the Realization Process meditation exercises for realizing fundamental (nondual) consciousness: the essence of our being and the basis of our oneness with all other life.  The exercises integrate consciousness with the whole body, open the chakras and energy channels and refine perception so that you can see, hear and touch on a more subtle level. This gentle, precise work can deepen meditation for both beginning and advanced practitioners.

Fee: $100 for series of four classes

Location:
80 East 11th Street
New York, NY 10001
