Armor of judgment… I’ve tried to stop wearing it many times but the anger I feel toward bad parents, abusers, etc makes this so hard. I believe that those of us who have suffered trauma don’t want to be open to connection. I believe a part of us wants to close off. Sending love to everyone in the comment section who finds themselves in my same boat. Enjoy the meditation ❤

Then you are believing utter BS. Im a CSA survivor and a child who suffered severe child neglect. Yes I have anger issues, but every day I work to replace that emotion. I got my abuser in prison and that accountability helped. My mum will never give the apology or acknowledgement I want so I had to decide, does she matter or not. And she does. So im practising forgiving her for what she does not know.

@@MyLifeInTheDesert yes I di have hard days, but it gets me nowhere and feeds anger. So I moved my thoughts away from him, for my own mental health, trusting they have their own dues to pay. It took me many years but I'm comfortable with me humanity and happy not to be like him or them.

You're suffering and abuse wasn't deserved and wasn't of your choosing. Hold yourself with deep compassion. You can acknowledge your trauma and not forgive what was done to you. You can also look with curiosity at the other's perspective with attempt to make sense of it. Joseph Goldstein has a saying that if you're still struggling with something painful, you haven't accepted what happened and that it happened or is what it is. It's a tough one for sure

@@ivywildwssI came to the comments section only 3 minutes into the video. It bothers me that generally Buddhists don’t run battered women’s shelters, sexual assault lines, programs for abused children. And yet, monks, nuns, meditation teachers etc., do feel qualified to encourage people how to relate to others!

Thank you for this wonderful video. I think you are a true emanation of the green Tara! So much love and compassion in all your videos

So applicable to everyday relationships with people and loved ones. This meditation is very enlightening to listen to in understanding how to cope or deal with situations of blame and judgement. Thank you, Tara. Truly inspired ❤

Thanks Tara! It’s amazing to me how convergent, how much common ground this has with being Cristian! You really contribute to bettering our world!

Wonderfull. ❤❤❤. Thank you Tara

Thank you so much.

Thanks!

When they steal things from you and move things to mess with your brain? And you think that asectable? And then lie and blamed someone else when he was the only one here?? I did not deserve it!!

No you don't deserve it at all. Don't be a doormat. Give yourself self compassion. It's OK to feel angry and resentful, don't push that down nor deny it's there.

Thanks for helping me identify judgment sooner and accept what is. 🙏🏻🧎‍♀️‍➡️
