Nonjudgmental awareness and the magic prefix

Your thoughts are like the weather,  passing over a mountain.  Sometimes it’s cloudy.  Sometimes it’s stormy.  Sometimes, it’s sunshiny and clear. But you - you're the mountain. Strong, steady, letting the clouds float by and over you.

In this lesson you'll learn and start training one of the most important aspects of mindfulness: your nonjudgmental observer. This is the part of you that can detach from your underlying soundtrack, all the thoughts running through your mind and simply observe, nonjudgmentally what you're feeling.
