So if you just like to get comfortable and then close your eyes.
Okay we'll start this exercise on dropping judgments by just a little relaxation.
Just two or three deep breaths would be helpful.
I'm aware of any sounds around you.
Become aware of the chair you're sitting on.
Now create a beautiful bubble of light around you.
And only the highest good can come through this light.
Into this bubble now invite your guides.
Use whatever words you like.
Jesus,
God,
Goddess,
Angels.
It's important that you invite them.
They need to be invited to help you in the exercise.
You can imagine it as a golden white light shining down into your head,
Into your heart.
Now you already may be aware of some judgments that you're holding.
Could be about someone you know.
They could be alive or dead.
It may be some political figure,
Someone on the TV.
There's plenty happening in the world at the moment to generate judgments.
If you're not sure you could turn to your guide and say,
Where am I judging strongly at the moment?
If nothing comes,
Just choose someone you don't like.
Now try and imagine that person in front of you.
Some of you are more visual than others.
But do your best to see or feel that person.
And it's all right to initially feel the judgments.
It's all right to be angry or vengeful.
Or even if you want to kill them,
That's okay.
You can't harm the Christ in them.
Maybe you remember the last conversation you had where the judgments came.
Or when you saw them on the television perhaps.
They shouldn't be like that.
I want them to be different.
They're wrong.
I'm justified in my feelings about them.
Or that's okay.
Just be honest.
See if you can feel where you're holding it in the body.
You might even have a few choice words you want to say to them.
Don't forget them for a moment and concentrate on that feeling in the body.
That's where you hold the judgment.
If you can,
You just put an accepting hand over that part of the body.
And just know that you have created that,
That feeling of judgment.
The other person does not have the power to do that.
The other person does not have the power to create feelings in you.
It makes that person very useful to you,
Very helpful to you.
Because they're showing you something.
They can't make you upset that you're upset,
You're judging.
They've triggered something in you.
You don't want to see that,
But they've triggered something in you.
There has to be something related to their behavior.
You must have a bit of them in you.
Maybe just a small fraction.
Maybe you chose Hitler.
There's a small fraction.
Maybe you chose Hitler.
There's a small fraction.
When are you a dictator?
And you look at the person again,
A bit differently this time.
You might say,
I hate to admit it,
But you are showing me something in me I don't like,
And I project it onto you.
You don't have the power to upset me like this.
I'm doing this to myself.
I suppose I've got to admit,
You're my teacher.
I wouldn't see it without your help.
I suppose it's me I have to forgive for having this inside me.
I suppose it's me I have to forgive for having this inside me.
I suppose I should thank you for showing that in me.
You can get just a little bit of thanks and a little bit of appreciation.
See that golden white light you brought down into yourself.
See it coming down into that person.
We all need healing,
And what you give,
You receive.
See the light bless them.
See them start to smile and relax.
Oh goodness,
You realize how similar you both are.
Your brother is your teacher.
Your sister is your teacher.
Maybe it causes a bit of a smile to come on your face as you look at them.
Maybe they smile back.
And you say to them,
I've no right to ask you to be different than you are.
I've no right to ask you to be different than you are.
Thank you for showing me what's unhealed in me.
I now forgive myself for this judgment,
This dishonest act.
It's okay,
I forgive myself.
I'm still the Christ.
I cannot harm that in me.
I am my father's son,
I am my father's daughter.
I just went a bit crazy for a while,
And that's okay.
I forgive myself.
It's not a big deal.
See if you can walk over to that person,
Maybe shake their hand.
Maybe give them a hug and say,
Thanks for the tough lesson.
Pick what time you need to complete the exercise as far as you've gone,
And accept as far as you go,
And then bring yourself back to the room.
