The Work of Byron Katie

The Work is a tool: four questions and a turnaround. 

It's a way to identify stressful thoughts and a way to question beliefs, judgements, concepts and expectations that create pain and suffering.

“I made a mistake.”                 “She should love me.”                   “Life is hard.”

      Is it true?
      Can you absolutely know that it's true?
      How do you react, what happens, when you believe that thought?
      Who would you be without that thought?
      Turn the thought around. Find genuine examples. 

The Work is a tool for inquiry, for taking your own mind back, when you answer the questions. It is a meditation. Through your answers, with an open mind and living the turnaround (a reversal technique), The Work comes alive.
 

You can learn to: 

      live without fear and guilt
      reduce anger and reactivity
      improve relationships and communication
      experience mental clarity, peace and freedom

You find out what's true for you by asking yourself and listening to your answers. Answers that arise from the joining of your mind and heart.
The Work is a way to discover peace, love, joy and freedom right where you are.
Through your answers spontaneous change, transformation and action happen. There is no need for intentional doing.

Life is happening! 

“Everything happens for you, not to you.” Byron Katie
