The Mindfulness Work Continues

Our mindfulness work continues with the practice of of the non-judgmental stance. Observe and just notice. Be compassionate, conscious, and loving as you interact with others.

Here are B’s (Bernadette Logue) key principles:

  1. “I am in no position to judge.”
  2. “I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.” (Ho’oponopono)

The second video is optional due to the length. However, you might discover that get hooked on Leo’s videos. He references Maslow’s Hierarchy of human needs:

Picture of Maslow's Hierarchy of Human Needs. The top tier is self actualization, creativity, problem solving, authenticity, spontaneity. The next tier is Esteem with self esteem, confidence, and achievement below it. The next tier is Social Needs with friendship and family below it. The next tier is Safety and Security. The bottom tier is Physiological Needs (survival) with air, shelter, food, sleep, and sex below it.

Use mindfulness to pay attention to your thoughts. If you notice yourself judging, don’t judge your judging!
