The Silent Witness Observes Your Emotional Reactions From A Safe Distance

The Silent Witness is the non-judgmental aspect of you. The part of you that:

• Doesn't feel threatened
• Doesn't feel judged
• Doesn't feel unworthy
• Doesn't feel inferior...

You will have been passing judgments on those around you in the same way that you were judged when you were younger. Your Inner Judge will also be passing judgments on yourself, and all the while the Silent Witness quietly observes your emotional reactions and urges you to reach for better feelings.

Instead of just reacting to events and circumstances as they arise before you, become the watcher of yourself and witness the thoughts, feelings and reactions that are generated within you.

Choose not to follow through with your natural reactions but maintain your position as the witness for as long as you are able.

This process will reconnect you with your natural capability to be in control of your Emotional Reactions.

This process will work just as well when you are observing the emotional reactions of another person. You are probably in the habit of making an immediate judgment about them dependent upon the exact emotion that has been observed.

A positive emotion generally produces a positive reaction and vice versa. That judgment will have a direct impact, consciously or unconsciously on your future communication with that person.

But are you really well enough informed to be able to make such a judgment regardless of whether it is positive or negative?

Do you know exactly what is happening in that person's life?

Do you know their history and the sponsoring beliefs they have developed?

No you don't, no one does. The non-judgmental aspect of you will give them the benefit of the doubt and will delay reaction. Your emotions will become more measured and you will be more likely to act in the best interests of all parties.

This is the extent to which you can have control over your emotions and your experience.

There are always an unlimited number of perspectives available for any situation, circumstance....So you are always running a big risk whenever you make an immediate judgment on anyone or anything.

The path to the elimination of judgment is through the application of Appreciation and Gratitude. This is the stance of the Silent Witness, your closest ally.
