Byron Katie - "The Work"

The Work of Byron Katie is a powerful way to question and identify the thoughts and beliefs that are causing suffering and stress in your life.  The process uses four questions and turn arounds. It can be used with any situation in your life that is hurting you and creating problems and stress.

“I discovered when I believed my thoughts, I suffered, but that when I didn’t believe them I didn’t suffer, and that is true for every human being. Freedom is as simple as that. I found that suffering is optional. I found a joy within me that has never disappeared, not for a single moment. That joy is in every one always.”    ~Byron Katie

This work helped me to move through some very challenging and stressful times in my life. I discovered how to live with joy and peace even when others want something very different from my desires and beliefs. I have seen clients take an experience of deep stress and emotion, write down a 'Judge Your Neighbor Worksheet' and literally, as we move through the process of The Work, come to a place of peace and truth for themselves.
