As a teacher of consciousness studies, Peter Ralston has spent fifty years mastering intense contemplation and leading students on experiential investigations of self and reality.

Ralston's consciousness work is acclaimed by people from a diverse range of disciplines, from spiritual teachers and psychiatrists to cognitive scientists, physicists, and artists. He is the founder of Empowerment—an organization devoted to increasing consciousness—as well as the founder of Cheng Hsin, an internal martial school of the Art of Effortless Power.
