The Work - Byron Katie

Byron Katie
So I just wanted to share a new "tool" that I was recently introduced to. And I love it! Byron Katie is a spiritual teacher who developed the brilliant process called The Work. It's purpose is to cut through the pain-causing thoughts and stories our minds like to play with or hold onto, and to help us uncover truth. It's so simple; just four questions to honestly ask yourself, in regard to something that is causing you pain.
1. Is it true?
2. Can I absolutely know that it's true?

3. How do I react when I think this thought?

4. Who would I be without this thought?

And then a turnaround...


To watch some short video examples of The Work in action, visit her homepage here: THE WORK (or just YouTube her name). Also on her web page is a link to an hour-long interview with Oprah that is really worth checking out.
After seeing how it works, I highly recommend taking out a pen and paper and trying it yourself but only, if you want more peace and clarity in your life.
"I invite you not to believe me. I invite you to test it for yourself. I invite you to the work." ~Byron Katie

AWESOME that you've found this brilliant tool. I was in a Spiritual Development class a couple of years ago, and this was one of the practices we were introduced to. Wonderful for you to be sharing it with others.

I hope all is well with you. Your posts are so few and far between now...
