Thoughts on Judgment

Just stopping in for a bit.

I have been doing my work and having quite a few thoughts on judgment. Repeatedly I have run up against being judgmental. It has been something that I have ignored, denied, but truly never really did the work to not judge. For a while during the summer of 2012, I did get to a point where I focused my attention on seeing the beauty in everyone. That was also the summer I stopped eating meat and spent my days working out, meditating, and doing homework. Need less to say, when my diet got to the point where even the slightest bit of animal products made me physically ill, I began to incorporate more animal products into my diet in order to be able to be quite so sensitive. Thus I returned slowly to my usual ways.

After 2 relationships of growth, a promotion, 2 graduate degrees, and 30 additional lbs, I'm back to cleaning/releasing some areas in my life. After releasing blocks found during a journey to the underworld I'm now focusing on judgment. Let me tell you, I did not realize just how invasive this was in my life. Driving around town there's comments that fly through my head about the types of cars that people drive, the people in the cars, the buildings, everything. I have to retrain my thoughts completely in order to take in the information without making judgments about what is coming through.

What I have done so far is begin to use the techniques I did that summer and see everyone and everything as energy. It allows me to be able to look beyond what is on the external and focus on the energetic makeup of beings. I find it truly works for me and I enjoy it. I also am practicing being present through meta-cognition in order to catch my judgmental thoughts when they occur and turn them around. I'm now at the point where before the thoughts begin I'm already redirecting towards beauty, transparency, and openness. This is exciting but quite a bit of work. How do you deal with judgment?

I'm also working on not judging those who judge, When someone shows distaste of a person or group not showing the same distaste for that person. I will slowly work this out and hopefully remember to share.

Good night!
