CONSCIOUS AWAKENING PROCESS
The Wake Up Process
A 12-module journey through every dimension of human life. Experienced via Zoom. Written teaching. Personal inquiry. The steady practice of returning to Awareness. Not a philosophy course — a lived path to discovering the stable, whole, and loving nature that is your true self.
What is the Wake Up Process?
The Wake Up Process was developed by Lisa Marie Mansfield over 33 years of work at the intersection of body, mind, and spirit. It is grounded in Buddhist principles and designed to be lived in the practical world — how to navigate grief, how to improve relationships, how to make wise decisions rather than reactive ones.
Offered online via Zoom, the program is available to anyone across the United States. You meet with Lisa from wherever you are — no travel, no retreat, no disruption to your daily life. Just a consistent, supported practice that fits into the life you're already living.
Each module includes a written teaching to revisit daily, and a personal inquiry to sit with and bring to the group. This will never be about a left-brain, mental understanding. It becomes an embodied knowing — one that arrives over time, through practice and presence. The mind cannot figure its way to awakening. It discovers it, slowly, through living the process.
Not Meditation
No cushion required. Short, intentional returns to Awareness throughout the day — at a stoplight, before a meal, upon waking.
Not Self-Help
This process doesn't refine your story. It steps outside it entirely — offering a different vantage point from which everything looks different.
Embodied Knowing
Understanding arrives over time. The modules are designed to be returned to, not read once. Each return brings the realization closer.
The 12 modules move through a natural progression — from recognizing your true nature, through the full terrain of human experience, to arriving at a life lived as love in action.
Foundation
Our True Nature is Pure Love
Awareness · Pure Love · The Practice Begins
The foundation of the entire journey. Pure Awareness and pure love are not two things — they are one. This module introduces the central practice of resting as Awareness: a gentle, repeatable shift of attention, many times throughout the day, toward the stable ground that underlies all thought and emotion. Together we will remember, again and again, that Awareness is our unchanging ground — even when everything around us is changing.
Identity
You Are Loving Awareness — Not Your Story
The Inner Monologue · Seeing Through the Story
Most of us have spent years believing that our arising thoughts mean something true about who we are. The perfectionist. The doubter. The self-hater. The worrier. This module empowers you with the liberating force of Truth: you are not any of those passing thoughts. As you practice resting as Awareness, these voices become fainter — moving from the foreground to the background — until one day you may be surprised to find they've lost the power to run or ruin your life.
Body & Healing
Honoring the Physical Body
Formless Awareness · Healing · The Body as Expression
For thousands of years, sages and saints from every tradition have answered the question Who am I? with the same answer — and now science is beginning to agree. You have a body, but you are not limited to one. As formless Awareness you exist in a field of knowing and creative intelligence, inclusive of the body but not confined to it. Once we stop perceiving ourselves as only flesh and bone, we become free to actually support and nourish the body from a place where physical strength, health, and happiness arise naturally. Includes an invitation to watch Anita Moorjani's celebrated TED Talk, Dying to Be Me
Emotions
Honoring All Emotions
Emotional Freedom · Energy · Responsive vs Reactive
Emotions are energy. Not good or bad — energy. It wasn't until we were taught that certain emotions were inappropriate that we began to hold them back. And when this holding back occurs, a buildup of repressed emotional energy begins to affect the body and spirit. This module teaches you to stop judging emotions and instead befriend them as the passing display they are. Through resting as Awareness, we become increasingly emotionally responsive rather than reactive. True well-being, we discover, is not dependent on how we feel in any given moment.
Equanimity
In Truth, All Is Well
Stability · Undying Awareness · Equanimity
As the practice deepens, a new foundation begins to emerge. Focusing on afflictive thoughts stirs up worry, anxiety, and confusion. Focusing on Awareness elicits calmness, clarity, and a balanced perspective. All thoughts, all beliefs, all emotions — even the physical body itself — are only a passing display within Awareness. Therefore who you are is NOT defined nor limited by any of it. Like waves flowing in and out of the ocean, emotions are allowed their natural ease — coming and going — without disturbing the Truth of who you are. I am stable, undying Awarenes
Loss & Grief
Grief
Compassionate Grieving · Attachment · Presence
All emotions, sensations, and thoughts that arise within the grief process are a passing display within Awareness. We recognize this Truth — and at the same time compassionately honor the full process of grieving. There is no right way to grieve. There is no timeline. All emotions are welcome; there is no need to hide them, push them away, or try to speed up the process. And when we experience the death of a loved one, a profound comfort can arrive: the Awareness that animated their body remains. In time, we may even sense their energetic presence. This module also addresses attachment — and the natural shift that occurs as Oneness becomes more real than separation
Relationships
Relationships
Conscious Connection · Projection · Oneness
When we see others through the lens of Awareness — their True Nature — rather than through the lens of our stories about them, something fundamental shifts. Conflict softens. Intimacy deepens. Relationships become more harmonious not because the other person has changed, but because we are seeing more clearly. This module explores how unconscious projections and conditioned beliefs create friction and disconnection, and how the practice of resting as Awareness gradually transforms the way we show up for everyone around us.
Anger & Aliveness
The Power of Anger & Rage
Conscious Release · Creativity · Unmet Needs
Anger and rage are some of the most judged and feared emotions — and some of the most suppressed. We live in a time when repressed anger is being acted out in unconscious and unkind ways. This module takes a courageous, compassionate approach: when anger is moved through consciously, it is a potent energy that inspires change, creativity, and aliveness. Opening to the conscious release of repressed anger awakens blocked energy in the body and frees it to be utilized in beneficial ways. Inquiry is used to uncover the unmet needs beneath the surface of the anger.
Intimacy & Pleasure
Sexuality & Intimacy
Shame Release · Birthright · Embodied Pleasure
Enjoying intimate touch and sexuality are among the great gifts of inhabiting a physical body. Yet for many people, sex and intimacy carry a history of pain, shame, confusion, or embarrassment — from trauma, from religious repression, from messages absorbed long ago. This compassionate module creates safe space to examine those conditions honestly and to reclaim what is your birthright: healthy intimacy and pleasure, free from guilt or shame. Regardless of relationship status, orientation, or history — opening to pleasure supports greater wellbeing. As you rest as Awareness, your actions become discerning and caring toward yourself and others.
Liberation
Fear, Survival & Death
Undying Awareness · Fearlessness · True Security
The direct realization that you are stable, undying Awareness is a mental and emotional game changer. Worry, anxiety, and fear as they relate to survival and death begin to shift. Although these emotions may still arise, there is now a stable ground from which you clearly see them as passing display. The body drops away — but who you are never dies. Whatever circumstances arise that appear to threaten your physical existence, the Truth of who you are as Awareness remains untouched. Financial fears, health fears, the fear of death itself — all are examined from this new ground. The result is not indifference, but a deep and genuine peace.
Purpose & Gifts
Your Gifts, Talents & Expression in the World
Purpose · Self-Comparison · Living Contribution
Each of us brings our own special gifts to the planet. And life provides the opportunity to live into what those gifts are, and how best to offer them. In the past, you may have given power to thoughts like: I should be working harder. I'm not living my purpose. I don't know what my purpose is. Remember — these are only passing thoughts. They are not a problem to be fixed. As you rest as Awareness, peace, clarity, wisdom, and compassion become your new normal. You trust that your gifts and talents will naturally be revealed, and that inherently you will know how to use them for the benefit of all.
The Arrival
Life Is a Blessing of Great Benefit
Transmission of Truth · Living as Love · The New Normal
Not a destination — a transmission of Truth. By Module 12, participants carry an embodied vision of the life that has been taking shape throughout the process. Life flows with ease and enjoyment. Emotional and mental balance is the natural state. Decisions arise from clarity and discernment. Relationships are harmonious and filled with great care and kindness. Gifts and talents are shared freely, with confidence that your life is one of benefit. Laughter, play, and adventure are welcomed. And underneath all of it — a deep, relaxed knowing that all is well, and that life is a blessing of great benefit.
Your Investment
The Wake Up Process is$2,500 for private one on one 12-week sessions.
This includes all 12 written modules, the opportunity to work closely with Lisa, one on one in weekly sessions, and access to the ongoing community support groups — You’re not doing this alone; you’re supported, seen and guided each step of the way.
What you are really investing in is time.
Not time in the sense of hours spent — though the practice does ask for your presence. Time in the sense of your life. The years already spent seeking, circling, returning to the same patterns. The energy given to anxiety that never quite resolves, to relationships that feel heavier than they should, to the persistent sense that something true about yourself remains just out of reach.
At some point, the cost of staying where you are becomes greater than the cost of finding your way through.
$2,500 is the equivalent of a few months of weekly therapy, a retreat you'll return home from, or a course you'll complete and set aside. The Wake Up Process is none of those things. It is a living practice that becomes part of how you move through the world — not for 12 weeks, but for the rest of your life.
The modules don't expire. The practice doesn't end when the program does. What you build here, you keep.
