L had noticed quite often when he was being judgemental,
and to then stand on one leg was a good way to wake up,
because it forced him to use the physical aspect of his being.
He had found after a while
that he was being less judgemental,
and certainly more aware of that aspect of his character.
Being judgemental was usually an automatic behaviour,
so in that aspect he was being a little less automatic but in other areas he noticed that he was more automatic,
because it was possible that waking up does not progress very far.
As regards to noticing how he felt in his body as a consequence,
he had not noticed any direct correlation between a part of the body
and his being judgemental.
N spent his life using his mind, most of the time; in his profession people did. So when he did this CHALLENGE, sometimes he would notice when he was making judgements, sometimes he wouldn't notice it at all. The judgements came at all different types of levels. There were judgements where he was comparing things and making an assessment in his own mind about a situation. There were judgements where he might be morally outraged by something. The more he did the challenge, the more passive his mind became - there was a sort of process which pulled him away from trying to get involved, and he found that he wouldn’t make so many judgements.
T had been making judgements all the time, and it had been shocking. She had mistaken the challenge, because every time she made a judgement, then she became aware of it, and she stood on one leg, but the challenge was to refrain from making a judgement, and the judgements happened in microseconds, and she could not get in between the judgement and the refraining. She noticed that she had been most furious, irritated and judgemental towards people who were doing things that to her were completely off the scale. There was no way that she could do such an action, or say that thing, or be like that. So it had actually been projecting all her own ethics and morals onto the other world of people and places. It had been a wake-up call about how much work there was to do, and how much the mind was in charge and hard-wired.
Further contributions and responses to these contributions were made, but nothing more pertained to contributions relevant to the challenge. The reading continued from Chapter 25 of Beelzebub's Tales.

Once a day, to notice when you are making a judgement,
and then to stop, and not make that judgement.
Then stand on one leg briefly,
and observe anything happening in your body or emotions.
