The Work is meditation. It is a method of inquiry born directly out of Byron Katie’s experience. This practice allows you to access the wisdom that always exists within you.
Welcome to The Work. In this course, we'll learn the practice of inquiry. Through inquiry and reflection, we are empowered to question - and ultimately dismantle - our limiting beliefs and the thoughts, feelings, and memories that cause us to suffer. Let's get started.
6 minutes
As humans, we are constantly struggling between the poles of what we think we want and what is. When we lose touch with the truth of what is, we create and compound our suffering. What narratives are you constructing? Are they in conflict with the truth of the situation? Are you struggling with what is?

The way you recall a memory and the way it actually happened might be completely different. The question is, do you know which version feeds you? We can become so wrapped up in our recollections, we convince ourselves of these untruths. Is that person a monster? Were they wishing you harm? Or were they dealing with a difficult situation in the best way they knew how?

Stop focusing on the object of your desires and start focusing on the reason for desiring that object in the first place. When you turn it around, you may find that what you really want is completely different than what you've been telling yourself.

A single thought plants the seed of a narrative. You feel lonely and unsupported, so, of course, someone must have abandoned you. Over time, the thought "I feel abandoned" grows into the story of an entire childhood. Let's uproot the thought and untangle the story.

What happens when we defer our dreams for material things? "If only I had a little more money stashed away, I'd be able to do what I really want."
13 minutes
Fear is a fickle partner. While it certainly serves a purpose - keeping us out of danger and forcing us to question our assumptions - if we give too much of ourselves over to fear, it will lead us down paths filled with insecurity, broken social interactions, and a persistent struggle against the way things actually are.

Definitive statements are comforting. They give life structure and clear direction. But what happens when your declarations are at odds with your subconscious desires?
9 minutes
The Work invites us to divorce ourselves from ego, emotion, and even the particular situation to find a place of equanimity from which we can see the reality of the situation.
9 minutes
What if we could accept the situation as it is, without needing to change it? Could we then step into the love and connection we were holding at bay?
