Email: How do we practice non-judgement, is it really possible? (US)
We go through our day judging experiences, people, selves – this is good, that is bad. We ‘like’ online comments, pages. Give a thumbs up or thumbs down to movies, songs, travel experiences. It’s ingrained in our thinking processes.
What would it be like to drop judging stuff as good and bad, for a little while? What would it be like to simply experience something, sometimes, somewhere, without any judgement?
Try it now. Sit in the moment, don’t think whether it’s good or bad. Observe sensations of the moment. Don’t ‘think’ about these sensations. Just experience it wholly, trusting our sub-conscious minds, spirit.
These sensations are just phenomenon, happening without any good or bad intentions. Just happening without thinking about ‘us’, as the centre of the universe.
I’ve noticed, when experiencing any bits of anger, frustration, disappointment naturally I’m judging my experiences (others, self), based on whether these are what I want or not, whether these are good or not, whether I should fear or not? Will it hurt or not? Will I be happy or not?
But why am ‘I’ at the centre of the universe? If I drop my self-centredness, I no longer have reasons for judgement. It’s either blessings or lessons unfolding for us, our fated journey through life. Understand, accept experiences that truly resonate with our core spirit. Open, receptive arms and hearts, going with the flow. Let go of the rest, release.
As humans, we tend to judge. That’s generally OK. I’m simply suggesting sometimes, we can drop all judgments, float. Soak in pure, simple experiences. Just see, hear, taste, touch, feel what it’s like? And be OK with that too!
It doesn’t mean we don’t have preferences, ideas or perspectives but we aren’t judging. We respect, allow, integrate if needed.
Once we practice this principle, we become immune to judgements. Raises our authentic, energetic vibrations, clarity of big picture, our purpose, inspires to act with compassion and love. That’s all that truly matters.
