Are JUDGMENTS holding you back? DO THIS & Finally be FREE!

Why do we get caught up in judgment, and how does it impact our self-esteem and relationships? Join davidji and Elizabeth Winkler as we embark on a journey through the labyrinth of judgment, with insights from nonviolent communication and Advaita (non-dualism) philosophy. We explore how our minds, with their inherent negativity bias, shape our perceptions and interactions, often leading to destructive self-judgment and comparison. By examining the role of judgment in gossip and negative commentary, we shed light on the crucial difference between judgment and discernment, helping you master your thoughts for more mindful connections.
Ever wondered why negativity and gossip are so pervasive in our society? We dissect the underlying motivations, such as feelings of inadequacy and a longing for connection, that drive these behaviors. Through the lens of compassion and empathy, we reveal how seeing ourselves as equals can transform our interactions. Drawing on the profound wisdom of the Two Wolves metaphor, we illustrate the internal battle between positive and negative forces, offering practical tips to steer conversations toward positivity and meaningful connections.
Discover the power of mindful communication with the "three gates"—is it true? necessary? and kind? Inspired by teachings from Lao Tzu and Ayurveda, we highlight the importance of timing in processing emotions and communication. Uncover the fascinating "boomerang effect" and how judgments often come back to us, fostering self-awareness and empathy. Concluding with a reflective meditation, we invite you to embrace both shadow and light within yourself, expanding your capacity for joy and reducing judgment. Tune in for a transformative episode that promises to leave you with practical tools for a more mindful, compassionate life.
