Nonjudgmental Awareness

Revision as of 19:42, 29 January 2018 by Lisa (talk | contribs)

Nonjudgmental Awareness is the simple action of refraining from automatically cataloging experiences with people, places or things with immediate terms that assign positive or negative beliefs, such as good or bad labels that generate bias, division and closed mindedness.

The Negative Ego mind control has conditioned humans to be excessively judgmental, which promotes Mental Rigidity and stunts emotional growth and learning from others. When we are judgmental, we constrict ourselves into small spaces that generate limitations that block Self Awareness. When we are nonjudgmental we are being open minded, we allow our mind to expand through the ideas, perceptions and experiences that are shared through others lenses. In this way we gain a much larger perspective that includes more people, and we gain greater knowledge, Discernment and feelings of shared experiences and unity. We are willing to deeply understand and tolerate others because we have Empathy and we know many people have different view points and values than our own.

Stopping Judgmental Behaviors

If you find yourself being judgmental in your self talk or directing judgmental views towards others, especially in superficial means where you know nothing from direct experience about that person, observe yourself and stop yourself from continuing the train of thought. Choose love. By making the effort to understand others perceptions deeply and to have Empathy for them, will help to understand how they feel and the reasons why.
