Can mindfulness really pull you out of a spiral of self-judgment? Don't you need to be judgmental sometimes? What's the difference between being discerning and judgmental?
Description:
Meditation and mindfulness doesn't uproot your capacity to be judgmental, but it can help you see the value in being judgmental by learning how to work with the judging mind.
La Sarmiento has been practicing Vipassana meditation since 1998. La is a mentor for the Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program, a teacher with Cloud Sangha, and a contributor to the Happier Meditation app.

- The four questions to ask when we notice ourselves going into judgment mode
- How to operationalize the phrase "am I suffering right now?"
- Investigating the motivations behind striving for success
- Why owning up to being a jerk is sometimes the exact right answer
