Frequently Asked Questions

How do I stay in a "non-judging moment" without falling back into old habits?

Remaining in non-judgment is a skill that requires "closing the entry phase." When you first stop judging, your system will feel a "void" where the "scoring" used to be. You may feel an urge to jump back into evaluation just to feel "busy." By remaining in the non-judgmental space safely, you allow that void to mature into a state of Presence. This is how you close the entry phase and transition into a new, low-velocity baseline.

Is there a "trick" to closing the entry phase of non-judgment?

The "trick" is to not judge the fact that you want to judge. If an evaluation pops up, notice it as a "structural signal" and let it pass. Don't engage with it. By not "fighting" the judgment, you keep the environment safe. This "non-interference" allows the nervous system to settle on its own terms. Eventually, the Status system realizes it’s not needed, and the non-judging moment becomes your natural, restful baseline.
