It's good to be aware of your body and your emotions. But to join this with "non judgement" is very political, indeed.

Like anything it can be abused mindfullness is meant for you alone not in some group meditation thing its rather personal that is to dwell on the present moment only not the past or the future yes in a nonjudgemental way. Since the world is constantly changing via movement of flashes of energy tranforming from one form to another this so called world of Illusion we all live in is filled with phenomeona based on concatenated causes producing effects based on certain conditions based on the buddhas twelve links ( nidanas) in the "chain" of Dependent Origination. Dependent Origination is the Buddhist teaching on how things come to be, are, and cease to be. According to this teaching, no beings or twelve links ( nidanas) in the "chain" of Dependent Origination. It is also known as the Jewl of Buddhism and one of the Buddhas most highest teachings. In other words in the practice of mindfullness you observe the phenomeona world that we live in such as comming and going of your thoughts , your emotions and various subtle phenomeona that comes into existance and disapears from your awarness. The Buddha highly recomended mindfullness as an excellent way to mediate and understand yourself a little better in the illusory world you live in and it appears deceptive as well.
1. Ignorance (Avidya)
Avidya means lack of light or lack of understanding. In Buddhism, "ignorance" usually refers to ignorance of the Four Noble Truths, in particular that life is dukkha (unsatisfactory; stressful).
Ignorance also refers to ignorance of anatman, a teaching that there is no "self" in the sense of a permanent, integral, autonomous being within an individual existence. What we think of as our self, our personality and ego, are temporary creations of the skandhas.
The twelve links are illustrated in the outer ring of the Bhavachakra ( Wheel of Life). Ignorance is depicted as a blind man or woman.
What it basically saying we have no soul but are beings based on conditions called karma of this Illusory world along with the skandhas to create a false self that is reincarnated from death to rebirth fueling this journey with our desires to be or become and each succesive death and rebirth based on karma and the previous states of your skandhas get tranfered over to you next life of which the next life you add some more ignorance that you can be or become but in effect you still believe you can be or become even after you are reborn you continue to struggle with the desire to be or become but end up disapointed, and suffer greatly because it don't last since you are basically living a lie from countless deaths and rebirths.

That's an interesting point. Humanity has had demonic, anti-human values, materials and tech. shoved down our throats from every angle so that the poor generations to come will be so ALIENated from their humanity they'll be in a trauma-induced comatose state.
HOW DID THE quick SLIDE TO OVERT SATANISM HAPPEN? Demon inspired "SEX DRUGS n' ROCK n' ROLL" seeds landing on the fertile soil of the non judgemental New Age "fashionable" attitude.

Yeah. I can get into that. There is a time and place for just seeing things as they are, without mucking it all up with our own projections.
