Educational Meditation[]
Judd is the creator of a system for self knowledge and expansion of consciousness called Educational Meditation. It is a program based on a meditation technique integrated with other complementary practices. It includes a set of self-knowledge educational principles to encourage and nurture coexistence. Judd's Educational Foundation brought together a multidisciplinary team of professionals to design a comprehensive program covering all levels of education: preschool, school, university, and other educational areas such as health, psychology, psychopedagogy, arts, communication, human relations, , intercultural dialogue and social cohesion. This educational meditation technique develops universal values such as appreciation, gratitude, love and unity.[citation needed]
The complementary practices to promote comprehensive health include: experiencing full consciousness or being in the doing, exercise, nutrition and hydration, and the honest and open expression of thoughts and feelings.[citation needed]
The educational principles of self-knowledge are: happiness, peace and love are an internal experience (introspection development). Emotions are natural so one must feel and manage them properly (emotional learning development). What you focus on grows (value-based education development). The relationship with self is reflected in the relationship with others (development of responsibility).[citation needed]
This is how the meditation integrated with complementary practices develops the self and coexistence: by leading us to a state of inner peace and incorporating values that generate the experience of a positive behavioral change. From a theoretical and practical point of view, self-knowledge educational principles have the same effect and all the components of Educational Meditation work synergistically.[citation needed]
Judd works with prisoners and victims of natural disasters through her foundation.[1] In 2010, following her work in the prisons of Buenos Aires, Judd was named Ambassador For Peace in a ceremony at the Argentinean Senate.[2] In 2012, she received an Honorary Degree from the Universidad Internacional, Cuernavaca, Mexico for her "humanitarian efforts and contributing to the betterment of the human condition through personal growth."[3]
Through her foundation, Judd has taught her system to Mexican soldiers, with the support of the (CDHM), in order to help prevent human rights violations within the Mexican Army.[4]
Judd has stated that, following a series of setbacks and personal losses when she was 28, she began a process of inner exploration, leading eventually to a profound spiritual awakening and later the development of her own system for the expansion of consciousness.[5]
Judd has two international retreat centers, located in Costa Azul, Uruguay,[6] and in Manzanillo, Mexico.[7]
