J stands for Judge Not Today

Image result for openness

Happy Wednesday! I’m in the middle of Spring Break and enjoying my time off but can’t forget Wellness Wednesday.

Today we continue through the alphabet with Deepak Chopra and Adam Plack from the ‘Soul of Healing Affirmations’ with the letter J.

J stands for Judge not today

Judgment creates turbulence in our mind

And when there is turbulence in our mind then it interferes with the creativity of our soul

Creativity and judgment don’t go together

Judgment also means letting go of the need to classify things, to call them either right or wrong

To label, to define, to describe, to evaluate, to analyze

Let go today

Judge not today

Today I will practice non judgment

This affirmation is about releasing the need to be judgmental

Just make this your lesson today

Consider what happens when you judge someone

It makes another person wrong, someone else is wrong to feel in a certain way, to look a certain way, to hold certain opinions

Judgment immediately creates separation

Any person who is ‘wrong’ then becomes THEM

The need to judge arises from the need to be isolated; this is the ego’s form of defense

But at the same time you’re pulling away from your true self

The same walls that keep other people away also shut off the flow of spirit  

When you learn not to judge you are basically saying: I’m willing to let anything in without deciding first whether it is good or bad.

In the practice of openness you will be inviting your soul to be intimate with you

So put your attention in your heart right now and just repeat to yourself:

Today, I will judge nothing that occurs

Today, I will judge nothing that occurs

Today, I will judge nothing that occurs

And by letting go of my judgments today, I will experience silence in my mind

By shedding the burden of judgment today, I will experience silence in my mind

And in this silence I will find the ecstatic impulse which is also the evolutionary impulse of the Universe

And I will align myself with the ecstatic evolutionary impulse of the Universe by letting go of all my judgments

Today, I will not classify, I will not label, I will not define, I will not describe, I will not evaluate, I will not analyze

Today, I will shed the burden of judgment’
