Judgment Detox: Release the Beliefs that Hold You Back from Living a Better Life by Gabrielle Bernstein






We get a quick hit of self-righteousness when we judge others.  It's a reliable little crutch when we feel hurt, insecure, or vulnerable.





The moment we see ourselves as separate from anyone else, we detour into a false belief system that is out of alignment with our true nature.




We must recognize that we all have the same problem and the same solution.  Our problem is that we
separated from love and the solution is to return to love.





Ego reinforces our separation by convincing us that we're less special or more special than others.





Our manifestation of specialness is the special relationship, which the ego uses to protect us from feeling the pain of separation. 





When your idol falls, you fall with them.





Judgment is the number one reason we feel blocked, sad, and alone.





It's easier to make fun of, write off, or judge someone for a perceived weakness of theirs than it is to examine our own sense of lack.






We unconsciously choose to judge rather than feel the pain beneath our wounds.




You create your reality with the thoughts you repeat and the beliefs you align with.





We can use logic and intuition to discern what feels right for us without being judgmental.  It's the habit of condemning and criticizing that we must let go of.




One way you know you're in judgment (and not discernment) is that you don’t feel good; instead you feel defensive, fearful, or under attack.  It's a sign you've separated from love and chosen fear.




Often when people trigger our wounds, we judge them when this happens instead of accepting that the discomfort is really about us.





The way out of judgment begins when you witness the judgment without more judgment. 




Being willing to accept the parts of our consciousness that are out of spiritual alignment makes us stronger.




When we feel safe enough to expose our shadows, that's when we become free.




Why would I feel the need to judge if I felt safe and complete?




The clearest way to find joy and success is to join your mind with love. 




The reason you judge is because you're avoiding an emotion that you don't want to feel.




When judgment is on the altar, we get stuck in the chaos of what we don't want and only create more of it.




When we say a prayer, we allow our consciousness to receive intuitive guidance.




Whenever you're triggered by others, it's because they're mirroring back elements of your shadow that you're unwilling to heal.




Meditation has the capacity to transform all your relationships, including your relationship to yourself.




Witness your fear, offer it to your inner guide for healing, and let forgiveness lead to miracles. 



Liberation from judgment requires our willingness to forgive.  Without forgiveness we continue to live in the shadows of our past and our projections of the future.



Your ego works continuously to convince you that some outside force is the source of your dilemma, rather than your inward-facing turmoil.



Forgiveness requires practice and repetition.

Miracles Now by Gabrielle Bernstein






All quotes from Gabrielle's book




Without clear direction, people can feel misaligned with their purpose, their relationships, and their overall connection to the world.



The ego is a shrewd eraser of the truth.



You don’t need to find your purpose. Your purpose will find you.



Underneath every limiting believe, negative pattern, attack thought, and fear of the world lives a feeling that hasn’t come to the surface for healing.



Our job is to be at peace with the chaos.



The secret to getting more done is simply to slow down.



Give more of what you want to receive.



When people insist on living in fear, our job isn’t to transform them.



If peace is your intention, let peace be your response.



As we defend against the attacks of others we invest in their attack.



Often people say to me, “I don’t have time to meditate”, or “I don’t have time to pray.” My response is, “Do you have time to feel like shit?”



See the tormentor as the mentor.



In many cases we use our bad habit to avoid dealing with something much more difficult.



Happy people don’t post rude comments on the web.



Remember the strangeness is a good sign.  Regardless of how uncomfortable you feel, take this powerful action in the right direction and step outside your comfort zone.



When we feel stuck it’s because we choose to perceive our situation with fear rather than love.



What we think, we feel, and what we feel, we attract.



Worry is a prayer for chaos.



The way we experience the world around us is a direct reflection of the world within us.  If our thoughts and energy are not supportive then our life won’t be supported.



When you act on [fear], you create chaos in your life.



[Witness] how you’ve chosen fear over happiness.



If you want to live a miraculous life, you must be willing to look at your behavior and take responsibility for the life you’ve created up until now.



Retrain yourself to choose happiness over fear.



Your practice is crucial in the awakening of the world.

The Universe Has Your Back by Gabrielle Bernstein





All quotes from Gabrielle’s book

It’s our resistance to love that keeps us in the dark. 

The practice of being on a spiritual path isn’t about being the best meditator, or the kindest possible person, or the most enlightened. The practice is about surrendering to love as often as possible. 

I take responsibility for the world I create by making love a habit. 

You see the world that you have made, but you do not see yourself as the image-maker. 

Our own interpretation determines our perception of the reality we experience. 

Our happiness is a direct reflection of how quickly we can restore our fear back to love. 

It’s helpful to keep in mind that the world is your classroom and other people are your assignments. 

Take a deep, honest look at the situation that’s causing you pain, and identify all the ways that person or circumstance is triggering your fear-based beliefs. 

Underneath all our difficult experiences are unfelt anger, resentment, and fear. 

True healing occurs when you give yourself permission to feel whatever feelings live below the triggers. 

Your fear has made you feel separate from others and disconnected from love. 

Your power lies in your ability to change your energy at any time to increase the likelihood of being the recipient of high-vibe, loving energy. 

Your intentions create your reality. 

The universe picks up what you put out. 

Remember that joy is the catalyst for all that is good in the world. 
When we surrender our intentions and feel energized by the infinite possibilities, we will be amazed by how fast the universe responds. 

When we live in love, we live a miraculous life. 

Miracles become involuntary when we make turning to love a habit. 

Walk through life leaning on your faith. 

It’s important to witness the difficult situations in your life through the lens of love. Choose to see them as an opportunity to surrender to your spiritual practice even more. 

The amount of flow and synchronicity we experience can be measured by the depth of our spiritual connection. 

We use judgment to avoid the feeling of our own inadequacy, insecurities, and lack of self-worth. 

Witness your judgment without judgment, accept that you have chosen fear, and be open to receive the help you’re calling for. 

Love accepts. Whenever you notice yourself caught up in judgment or attack, remember that you chose to see it from a sense of separation and fear. 

Attack, pain, fear, judgment, and any form of separation are merely calls for help. 

The presence of fear is your resistance to love.
