Last Sunday night, I went heard a deeply insightful Buddhist lecture on judgment given by Spirit Rock teacher Eugene Cash. Eugene's message is clear and to the point: our self-judgments are mental illusions that we tend to believe, internalize and harm ourselves with. Just like when loose our point of concentration in meditation, Eugene instructs us to gently come back to the present moment, fully inhabit our physical experience and look at our judging thoughts with amusement -- not denying or over-indulging them. Witnessing our thoughts, rather than buying into every anxiety and judgment. This sounds like a good practice for the holiday season!Enough of my commentary and check out this lecture for yourself.
