  • Hey, it's Marie Forleo and you are watching MarieTV, the place to be to create a business

  • and life you love.

  • Now, if you ever get caught in this cycle of judgment, both judging other people and

  • feeling judged by them, and you just want it to stop, my guest today is here to help.

  • Gabrielle Bernstein is the number one New York Times bestselling author of The Universe

  • Has Your Back, as well as Miracles Now, May Cause Miracles, Add More ~Ing Your Life, and

  • Spirit Junkie.

  • She was featured on Oprah's Super Soul Sunday as a next generation thought leader, the New

  • York Times named her as a new role model.

  • Gabby leads talks and meditations for sold out audiences around the world.

  • Her latest book, Judgment Detox, presents a step by step process to true healing and

  • oneness.

  • Gabby Bernstein.

  • Marie Forleo.

  • It's so good to have you here.

  • So good to be here.

  • We haven't sat down and done an official episode in years.

  • I know.

  • And I'm so thrilled about this one.

  • So this book, Judgement Detox, amazing.

  • I loved it.

  • You're a beast, an animal in the best way.

  • You crank these things out.

  • This one is special.

  • Not that your other books aren't special.

  • This one's really special.

  • Yeah, thank you.

  • I want to dive in with how you open the book, because I loved it.

  • Where you say that your fingers were trembling as you wrote the introduction because you

  • thought, “Who am I to write a book about judgment?

  • I judge all the time.”

  • And you're very transparent about the struggles that you have judging strangers on political

  • views, judging the woman ahead of you from moving too slow – I do that all the time

  • judging people on social media for the comments they make, judging the way people

  • parent, judging your husband for not responding the way you want him to respond – I don't

  • know anyone who has a significant other who doesn't do that from time to time.

  • Right.

  • And then you ended with judging yourself all the time.

  • So tell me about the inspiration and why, specifically because you do have these struggles,

  • that you're like, “You know what?

  • I need to write a book about this.”

  • Well, first of all, it's a pretty brave act to put my face on the cover of this book.

  • Because everywhere I go, especially these days when I'm doing interviews for the book

  • or coming to see people like you I'm like, you know, I better be careful what I say whenever

  • I show up.

  • Because I really have to walk my talk and I have to stand behind these principles.

  • I wrote this book because I was noticing the world really hitting bottom with separation,

  • judgment, division.

  • I wrote this book in 2016 during the election, so as we all know, the world was at this heightened

  • divisive time, and it was not an accident that this was what was coming through me at

  • that time.

  • And it was really clear to me not just for the world but also for myself, because I could

  • see very clearly how my small, minor, seemingly insignificant judgments were really holding

  • me back and blocking me from my connection to a higher power, from my connection to the

  • truth of who I am.

  • And -- but it is quite terrifying that this is what -- my face is on that cover.

  • So I have to stand behind it.

  • Yeah.

  • It's pretty fun though.

  • And, you know, I just want to say, I mean, none of us are perfect.

  • You're not perfect, I'm not perfect.

  • We're all gonna judge.

  • And we'll get to that in a moment.

  • Because the message -- what I took away from this book was, it's not about ridding yourself

  • of all judgmental thoughts, because that's virtually impossible.

  • And some of our judgments, they serve us.

  • They're good.

  • And we can talk about that, but it's not to believe in your judgments or indulge in

  • them.

  • Is that right?

  • Yeah.

  • And I think that there's something that I shared throughout the book, which is that

  • it's not that we give up judgment altogether, it's that we no longer believe in it.

  • And that's the miracle is that we don't believe in it anymore.

  • So ultimately we can -- right now as a result of practicing these principles, writing this

  • book, and living these six steps, I am in this practice now of really just showing up

  • for life in a way where I see myself in a judgment and I witness it and I can immediately

  • do something to pivot.

  • So I can practice any one of the principles in the book.

  • I can just choose silence, I can change the subject, I can say a prayer.

  • And that pivot is what I'm most proud of.

  • Not that I am completely clean of judgment, but it's that I don't believe in it anymore

  • and I can get out of it fast.

  • It's kind of like it's the recovery time.

  • Right?

  • Yeah.

  • It's like

  • Comeback.

  • Yeah, the comeback.

  • How quickly you can make that comeback.

  • For anyone wondering, how do you define judgment?

  • Judgment is a separation from oneness.

  • So I -- if you're new to me, but obviously you've been a good friend of mine for a long

  • time, you know that I teach spiritual principles.

  • So I am in the belief system and I share the belief system that we all have a deep, grounded

  • connection to kindness, oneness, compassion, love.

  • That is the God within us.

  • That is who we truly are.

  • And any time we judge, we are separating from that oneness, we are separating from that

  • truth within us.

  • And so it unconsciously feels very uncomfortable for us when we make that separation, when

  • we split off.

  • We don't realize it.

  • At first we may think we're getting high off of it.

  • Right?

  • We're gossiping.

  • We're in a situation where we feel like we want to, you know, not feel the pain that

  • we have and the discomfort that we're carrying, so we project it out onto somebody else through

  • judgment.

  • Ultimately at the end of the day we feel guilty because it's not the truth of who we are.

  • Yeah.

  • And I think a lot of people, especially if they're with their friends or maybe even

  • on social media, especially with friends, like you kind of use that judgment as a form

  • of connection.

  • Like you're kind of trashing someone else.

  • Totally.

  • You're coming down on someone else or making fun of someone else, but you rarely walk away,

  • I mean, you get that laugh for the moment.

  • Right?

  • It's kind of like a cheap win.

  • You get a little oxytocin rush because you are feeling some false sense of connection.

  • Well, with the person that you're

  • Yup.

  • But it's -- but then you leave feeling almost hungover.

  • Yeah.

  • And the more you do this work the more hungover you feel because you realize it.

  • You know what's up.

  • Yeah, well, you start to see it everywhere.

  • Yeah.

  • And how prevalent it is.

  • You know, one of the things that you shared was judgment wouldn't be present if you

  • weren't in some way calling out for love.

  • Yeah.

  • I thought that was really interesting.

  • Tell me more about that.

  • Well, all attack is a call for love.

  • So whenever we are in a place of attack, we're also in a space of defensiveness because we

  • are feeling some sense of inadequacy, some core wound, some trauma that we don't want

  • to address or that we're terrified to face.

  • And so we project it out onto somebody else so that we don't have to feel it temporarily.

  • That is a call for love.

  • That's a wound that needs to be healed.

  • Have you seen that, in terms of writing this book, practicing all of these ideas more diligently,

  • has that been something that's come to the surface for you?

  • Like when you notice a judgment you're like, “Oh, wow,” and you get to actually ask?

  • I walk around all day and I'm just like trigger, trigger, trigger, trigger.

  • Like I am so conscious and aware of how wounded I am.

  • And, listen, you know, it's -- the nice thing is, is that I'm not the victim of

  • the world I see.

  • I choose not to be a victim.

  • I choose to use these principles to heal those wounds.

  • I've got a whole step on how to heal those wounds, and my awareness of it is really the

  • great -- the greatest key to healing itis being aware of your triggers.

  • Because what happens is so many people walk around triggered all day long because we carry

  • these deep-rooted wounds from childhood that we've carried with us forever.

  • And we walk around and we're triggered all day long, and we have no idea.

  • So we just think that's who we are.

  • We just think that we're just a pain in the ass or we're just upset all the time.

  • Or we're just controlling or domineering or whatever.

  • Controlling was a huge way that I managed my triggers, and now I can see it and I can

  • release the control.

  • It's a miracle.

  • It's unbelievable.

  • No, I can see that for myself too, because control is one of my own mechanisms.

  • To stay safe.

  • To stay safe, to keep things in order, and to not revisit or re-feel things in the past

  • that when I didn't feel safe or secure made me, you know, just turn into a puddle and

  • cry.

  • It's brave of you to say that.

  • It's the truth.

  • I mean, I, you know, I watch it all the time and I do my best.

  • I'm not always successful.

  • I'm certainly not always successful.

  • But I think, you know, with age hopefully comes a little bit of wisdom and humility.

  • And I notice it everywhere.

  • And to be able to use these tools ... And what I love about this book, which is so wonderful,

  • you know, we can go through some of the six steps, but I want you to buy the book because

  • it's so good.

  • And you can get all of them in this interview would last forever and she wrote a whole book

  • about it.

  • But I love that it's like going to a great buffet.

  • Yeah.

  • You know, you don't have to use one tool all the time.

  • Yeah.

  • You can kind of have all of these in your tool kit and you can pick.

  • Whether it's meditation, whether it's prayer, whether it's EFT.

  • You know, one of the steps to get yourself back in a place of presence where you can

  • legitimately connect with people.

  • I wrote it in a way where all these steps are cumulative so you have an experience.

  • And it's designed in a way that I would love for someone to go through it in those

  • six steps that they get to that point where they're like, “okay.”

  • Because forgiveness is the last step.

  • Yes.

  • So I really -- someone actually, I had an interview yesterday, and the woman said, “Listen,

  • I'm so grateful that you made forgiveness the last step, because I needed all that heavy

  • lifting before I could get to that point.”

  • Yes.

  • But the thing is, it is a buffet.

  • Because once you've done those six steps.

  • Then you have them.

  • Pick it up.

  • Choose what you want.

  • You pull from your toolbox, and you use it when you need it.

  • Yeah.

  • So it's about going through the process as you lay it out, and then once you have

  • all that awareness and you've gone through it, then you can go back and use what you

  • need in the moment.

  • Right.

  • So let's talk about for anyone who might be listening who's like, “I still don't

  • get it.

  • Like I don't buy it.

  • I like my judgments.

  • I wanna keep my judgments.”

  • What do you think it really costs us in concrete terms?

  • Oh, what a good question.

  • Well, first of all, if someone's like, “I don't want to give up my judgment,” then

  • this isn't their time.

  • They just made it -- because the first step is you've got to witness your judgment without

  • judgment.

  • You've gotta be willing, really.

  • Yes.

  • And so that's cool.

  • Like, hold onto it as long as you want to.

  • The book will still be there when you're ready.

  • So I don't want to push people into this, because I know that people, you know, feel

  • very addicted to judgment.

  • It is a severe addiction.

  • But what is it gonna cost us?

  • Let's really go there.

  • Maybe they'll -- maybe I'll change their mind right now.

  • It's gonna cost you connection.

  • It's gonna cost you your manifesting power, because when we are in alignment with that

  • oneness, with that connection to the truth of who we are, with that connection to a presence

  • of kindness, compassion, love, joy, inspiration, we become a magnet for -- this is what happens.

  • You create this studio.

  • It's all the inspiration.

  • It's you being a through line for all that source energy to come through you.

  • When we are in a space of judgment or attack or division, we cut off that connection.

  • And so I know every single person watching MarieTV wants to do big things in the world.

  • They want to wake up, they want to be big, they want to make an impact.

  • If you're judging, you're cutting off your faucet.

  • I like it.

  • You can't, you know ... so I hope that makes everybody say, okay.

  • I'm ready.

  • Okay.

  • So now for the people we've made our case.

  • If they're gonna jump in, they're gonna jump in.

  • So we've talked about like there's meditation, there's EFT, there's six steps.

  • And one of the most powerful pieces for me was on forgiveness.

  • Can you share the story of Scarlett Lewis, the mom of the children killed at Sandy Hook?

  • I was so moved by that and by her story and the power of forgiveness.

  • I think everybody needs to hear it.

  • So I met Scarlett at a Hay House event backstage, and she was giving a talk right after – this

  • was, I don't know, maybe only a few months after Sandy Hook.

  • And she lost her son.

  • And here she was, she was immediately putting this message into practice going out and speaking

  • about her desire to forgive and her commitment to really heal the core wound of what happened

  • there.

  • And in recognition that she not only had to forgive the -- Adam Lanza, the attacker, but

  • she also had to forgive his mother.

  • And so this story I added in the book at this time because I wanted to give a power of example

  • for my readers to sayif she can do this, you can do this.”

  • And there's so many divine examples of forgiveness that we hear, and I really like to call on

  • those examples so that we can remember that if someone can go through such a horrific

  • experience of losing their child and choose to forgive the murderer and the mother, then

  • we can do anything.

  • And so that was the main reason that that story was in there.

  • And I'm so deeply proud of her and the work that she's doing in the book that she wrote,

  • and for being a voice of forgiveness in such a profound way.

  • It's incredible.

  • And some of the stories that I've come across like Scarlett, I haven't experienced trauma

  • anywhere near what some of these folks go through, and I, in my own life, hold them

  • up as a possibility.

  • Like, “wow.

  • If they can do it.

  • I got no business complaining about anything.”

  • Because when we don't forgive, we are the secret murderer.

  • It's like we're taking that gun and putting it up against our own head, because we're

  • every day reliving that traumatic event.

  • Every day we're re-engaging with the anger and the resentment and the attack.

  • And the beautiful thing about forgiveness, and this is the nicest part about the book,

  • is that it's a very passive practice.

  • People think, “well, I don't want to forgive.

  • I don't know how to forgive.

  • How could I do this?”

  • There's three steps to forgiveness in this chapter, in this final chapter of the book.

  • And it's all about how we have to, one, be willing to forgive.

  • We have to decide, “I don't want to be that secret murderer.

  • I don't want to be attacking this person, myself, reliving this story daily.”

  • And then the next one is to really choose again.

  • Really say, “you know, I'm gonna offer this up.

  • I'm gonna choose to see peace instead of this.

  • I'm gonna choose to see forgiveness instead of this.”

  • And then the third step is not up to us.

  • The third step is asking humbly to invite a presence beyond our own to show us our inner

  • wisdom, our inner guidance system, the universe, whatever you refer to, to show us how we would

  • forgive.

  • Can we talk a little bit more about step two?

  • Because I can -- one of the gifts I've had after doing this show for over seven years

  • now is I can hear the audience as I'm having conversation.

  • Yeah.

  • And I can hear some folks hearing that going, “Okay, I was on board for step one.

  • I'm willing,” right?

  • So I have this willingness.”

  • But step two, the how.

  • Can we talk a little bit more about if they're finding that stuck point?

  • Yeah.

  • And to clarify, these are the three steps to forgiveness that are in the last step of

  • the book.

  • Yeah.

  • So the pathway to forgiveness, so it's really not that much is required of you.

  • It's required of you is your willingness to let go, and then your choice.

  • Choose again.

  • Choose to see peace instead.

  • That could be a prayer, that could be an affirmation.

  • “I choose to turn this over.

  • I am choosing to let this go.

  • I'm choosing forgiveness.”

  • It's affirming that choice.

  • And then the final step is allowing.

  • Allowing and really expecting that there is a full swell of energy that is within you

  • and around you gonna guide you to whatever it is that you need to forgive.

  • And so you may not know how this is gonna happen, but you'll get that phone call from

  • that person or you'll run into somebody on the street or you'll hear a song that

  • just brings you to tears and lets you just -- allows you to let it go.

  • Or have a dream that will help you clear whatever you needed to clear.

  • So when you -- it's really -- these are practices of opening up your subconscious

  • to receive healing, ultimately.

  • Yeah.

  • I think that's really important for people to hear.

  • I know especially for someone like me who's very linear who also wants to know, well,

  • “I want to know the steps.”

  • Like, “tell me the exact steps.

  • Tell me the how.”

  • I think for many of us who tend to lean on perhaps our brain rather than sink down into

  • the heart and say, “Oh, I'm going to trust.

  • Or I'm gonna have faith even though I don't know the steps.”

  • I think it's really important for people to hear how that could actually happen even

  • if, paradoxically, you don't know the how.

  • Yeah.

  • And your step really is just your willingness and your choice.

  • That's it.

  • And that is a step, that's a bold move to say “I'm willing and I choose again.”

  • And I would say for anyone listening, one thing just to add on to this, is possibly

  • even to find more stories about forgiveness.

  • Yeah.

  • I know for me in my life, any time I start to kind of battle against, “well, I don't

  • know if this is possible.”

  • Looking out to find other people who have done something similar and you start to stack

  • enough of that evidence and you're like, “Okay, maybe I can borrow some of their

  • strength.”

  • Yeah.

  • Maybe I can borrow some of their grace.

  • And, you know, hope to include myself in that.

  • Spiritual proof is what I like to call it.

  • I love it.

  • I love it.

  • Some spiritual proof.

  • So I want to close on something that you wrote that's so powerful and true that we all

  • suffer, we all feel unworthy, and abandoned, but identifying sameness in one another allows

  • us to shift our focus from separation back to love.

  • And we all share the capacity to choose love over fear.

  • Is there anything else that you want us to know in that vein?

  • I like that you're closing on that, because I think that when we watch MarieTV or we open

  • a book like this, we think we're alone on that journey.

  • We thinkoh, you know, I'm -- I need to get all these tools.

  • I have to fix my life.

  • And no one else -- everybody else is good.”

  • Right?

  • They got it all together.

  • And we're judging.

  • Right?

  • We're scrolling through Instagram thinking, “She's good.

  • She's good.

  • I suck.

  • I suck.

  • I suckRight?

  • And so we are all suffering.

  • Everyone is suffering.

  • You cannot be alive right now if you are not experiencing some kind of suffering.

  • And we all have the same problem, which is we've detoured into fear and we've chosen

  • that separation, but we all have the same solution, which is that we can choose again.

  • And whenever you follow someone like yourself or you read a book like this, you are choosing

  • again.

  • You're making a statement that you are willing to see beyond the terrors of the world, you're

  • willing to see beyond the traumas of your past, and you're willing to see through

  • the lens of love.

  • And that's the gift that we all have.

  • So I feel like that was the perfect place to close.

  • Yes.

  • And I'll add another little button.

  • The other thing, it's not about being perfect in this practice.

  • Yes.

  • No perfectionism.

  • I think especially for the women in our audience.

  • Not everybody, I know, I'm making this big, broad generalization.

  • But perfectionism is something that I think runs rampant.

  • And women can so beat themselves up for not doing it right.

  • I see it a lot.

  • People start judging even their spiritual practice.

  • Yes.

  • So, you know, if you are going to embark on these steps, don't judge your judgment.

  • Don't judge your practice.

  • And you're going to be -- you're going to be really tempted to judge yourself when

  • you begin to look at your judgments, because you're gonna look at your judgments and go,

  • Holy crap.

  • How could I be this way?”

  • We're all the same.

  • I'm a horrible person.

  • We're all the same.

  • I mean, that's why I open the book that way saying “I judge, and this is who I am.

  • It's the truth.

  • But hopefully you'll begin to feel a lot of peace as a result of going through those

  • steps.”

  • And a lot more connected to yourself and to other people.

  • Yeah.

  • Gabby, thank you so much.

  • I adore you.
