Mindfulness Practice To Build Nonjudgmental Awareness

The more we practice sitting with our whole selves nonjudgmentally (the good, bad, beautiful, and painful), the better we get at opening ourselves up to every kind of moment with discernment and acceptance, rather than judgment, reactivity and remorse. Meditation gives us the opportunity to sit with discomfort—bored, achy, restless, and distracted, we choose to stay with it, anyway. We can find ourselves caught up in fear, disappointment, and self-criticism in any part of our day. That’s all common and normal. In this mindfulness practice, we give ourselves the chance to recieve permission to feel exactly what we feel, even when we’re not as okay as we’d like to be.

This practice helped me immensely this morning. I was seeking a meditation to confront challenging feelings of remorse. Thank you 🙏

Thank you, breaks of silence helped awaken mindfulness bringing calmness restful awareness and purifying thinking into a joy of peacefulness. Blessings 🙏🏽📿

Letting it all just be okay, as Mary Maddux says, really soothes me and my sad gut. This meditation is really helpful for practicing this.

This is great. My MBCT therapist is often asking me to sit with my uncomfortable feelings, as my bad feelings about my bad feelings keeps me stuck. It’s painful but I 100% see the value in it. Unfortunately I don’t see my therapist every day. :)

This exercise is super helpful.

At first I didn’t like being with uncomfortable feelings but it was good to just be with and accept the feelings. I like the minimalist approach and time to meditate in silence.
