I've just been blown away by author and all round brilliant person Byron Katie! She has been named as a 'visionary for the new millennium' by Time magazine and I've just been reminded why.
I was interviewing her for our big peace programme (I will post it to you tomorrow) and we actually did the four question enquiry and turnaround on our interview. Her work is based on questioning our thoughts so we can feel differently.
Pick an 'aggro' thought....and then try these four questions:
1. Is that true?
2. Can you be absolutely certain that it is true?
3. How do you react when you think that thought?
4. Who would you be without that thought?
Once again, 'the work' worked for me - in a profound way. I admitted to Katie that as committed as I am to The Big Peace...I've felt all sorts of nasty, stressful thoughts come up so far on this programme.
"The more I think about peace, the more stressful thoughts I think," I wailed. Katie took me through the 4 question technique and the worked with me on the 'turnaround'. And it has blown me away. (in a good way). Listen into the interview tomorrow if you can.
The great thing about this work is it's free and downloadable now from www.thework.com
You can download the worksheets, ring a hotline, get yourself a buddy to work with - all for free.
And this stuff is so powerful.
Enjoy.

The Work and the turnaround were really interesting. I did the exercise with you and managed to find the upside of being unfocused and distracted when I am working at my computer. Instead of getting frustrated with myself, I realise that I find loads of interesting things which enrich my knowledge and experience.
I am looking forward to the rest of the course
Thank you
(Just to let you know that the sound quality was not great, it was difficult to hear Byron even at full volume)
