Course Summary
‘I don’t let go of concepts, I question them. Then they let go of me’ Byron Katie
What is your most painful, stressful thought that keeps replaying over and over again?
How would your life feel if that thought was gone…would you feel more joyful? More full of energy and connection and laughter? Who would you be without that thought?
The Work of Byron Katie is a radical approach that doesn’t have any answers – it has something better – the questions. People who use The Work experience extraordinary and lasting impact on their daily lives, in their relationships, career, with their health etc.
Time magazine called it “4 Questions to Inner Peace”
“An unquestioned mind is a world of suffering“ Byron Katie
Instead of trying to suppress our judgments we have about others or life experiences we will use them as a starting point for self-realization. Doing so allows us to discover the real source of distress in life is only ever our thinking. As we cease trying desperately to get reality to match our stories of how it “should be” we start to experience the peace and happiness that comes when we stop wanting everything to be different than it is.
“When you argue with reality you lose, but only 100% of the time.“ Byron Katie
