The Big Peace

Michael Neill- he says yes!

How excited I am! We got to talk to guru extraordinaire last night - Byron Katie - on what I think is a fast-track method to inner peace (not that it's a race!). Do listen to the interview or download her worksheets/get yourself a 'work' buddy from www.thework.com (it's all free!)

And now.....guess that? Michael Neill...author of Feel Happy Now! has agreed to talk to us. Must admit I'm in a bit of a flutter. I'm  a not so secret raving fan of Michael (named as 'the finest success coach in the world today' by Paul McKenna, indeed!)

Michael's newsletter pops into my inbox every Monday and I always read it  and feel happier/perkier or enlighted in some way - how often can you say that? Check out Michael's website www.geniuscatalyst.com and sign up for his newsletter and we can form a fan club.

Anyway.....he has agreed to give us a 20 minute interview on all his best stuff on finding inner contentment. Will let you know as soon as  I've posted it.

I feel pretty content right now.

How are you? We are now 12 days into the programme. How are you feeling?

I was feeling a little bit rubbish yesterday as you'll hear if you listen to the Byron Katie interview but after doing my 'work' and 4 question process....I feel like I am welcoming my stressful thoughts because it gets me nearer to feeling peaceful. Yerwhat?

Listen to the interview and all will be revealed!

Loving What is

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.

Napping competition?

I've started a napping competition at our facebook group. I'm calling it The Nap Factor - we get to vote next friday for the best Big Peace napper and you win me as your prize (or coaching with me anyway....)

I have entered the competition as I believe is napping is one of my greatest skills. (If i am voted number one napper - I will auction off my time for charity.)

You may ask what on earth I'm going on about with this napping thing?
What does napping have to do with inner peace/contentment?

I see napping as concrete way of giving ourselves permission to stop, to doze, to be slow, to be still.

I see napping an antidote to busy/busy/busy....and if we can nap and love it....it suggests we can allow ourselves to be without doing/doing/doing.

Imagine if you felt you had value just by doing nothing.
Simply by sleeping.

What I'm getting at here...is we don't have to earn our value in the world by what we do.
We can simply be....asleep......and be loved.

(Don't we always say that's when we love our children the best?! Their innocence, their stillness, their utter vulnerability and peace)

Happy Napping!

and join the competition: http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=6235150254&topic=3029

The Anatomy of Peace

I've just conducted another fantastic 'peace' interview with the wonderful master coach Rachel Pryor. (Rachel was my very first coach who changed my life!)

Rachel is a contributor to the profound book The Anatomy of Peace - which has been created by the Arbinger Institute. (www.arbinger.com) Rachel has been working with the prisoner officers in the recent pay dispute in the Uk as well as working with a group of young people trapped in the Israel/Palestine conflict.

The Arbinger Institute helps people to see life in a different way - to see problems differently, conflicts differently, challenges differently, opportunities differently, each other differently.

In this 20 minute interview, Rachel (once again) gave me some inspiration and deep insight - on peace, and war....and how our needing to be right and our justifications for proving that we are right can rob of us of any sense of peace.

I will post the interview to you in the next few days.

In the meantime, do pick up a copy of the book if you can.

The Big Nap.

Thank you everyone for all your responses to our 'warm-up' Big Peace emails. And I was delighted to discover that many of you are gratuitous sleep sluts too.

But my goodness, how competitive you all are.....I barely mention a napping competition and I'm getting a flurry of emails from you all saying how you're going to win...?!

All I can say is....I don't think so! I am nap queen supreme.

Actually, thinking of it.... my whole Big Leap (the previous chapter of my Big Peace journey) experience started with a nap. (On a shoulder of a stranger...on New Year's Eve....when I fell asleep on him on a train having slept through my stop having drunk far too many glasses of wine) The shame!

Anyway, I digress. How about we start a weekly napometer? You'll have to be honest. Every week, we'll give a prize to the person who has the most naps....????

I do find this funny. Most self-development programmes promise to 'awaken' us.

I want to send you to sleep.

Sweet dreams,
Suzy x
