When we're out of work or want more money to thrive more expansively in our lives, it can be very stressful. Job hunts look daunting. We also may have some troubling thoughts about jobs themselves. In the inquirer who did The Work today, she thought of her past jobs as requiring her to control chaos and worry about others emotional lives, or the job was boring and urgent. Who are we without our beliefs about jobs? How can we live our turnarounds about working. Turning these thoughts about jobs around: Jobs are interesting, relaxed, and unfolding as needed. The inquirer found...

When we lose something we care deeply about--a person in our lives, a child, a house--it can hurt terribly. And yet, it's still possible to do The Work on this situation, and watch the belief that something being gone means I will never be happy, or something being present means I need to hold on to it.

info_outlineWhen we dislike whatever is happening in our bodies, we feel fear, worry, angst, suffering. We make plans to change it.
What if we questioned our story, when it's painful? How strange to question the story of pain, disease, or physical appearance. But what does it look like to do this? Who are we without a story?
The Work of Byron Katie is a practice of self-inquiry allowing us to work with stresses appearing in the mind, and to relax with our experience of life.

Grace also has a special love for those suffering from eating issues including disordered eating (disordered thinking) of all kinds--having suffered from this behavior and thought/feeling process herself and finding an unshakable peace within around eating, food, health and behaviors with eating.
Grace works with all kinds of compulsions, habits and addictions as they are all the same thing: a pull to some behavior, substance or activity in order to help us with our stressful feelings and thoughts. As Byron Katie offers us (founder of The Work); when we believe what we think, it creates unnecessary suffering.
When we question what we think, we feel lighter and less serious about what is. We even begin to laugh. We notice who we really are is peaceful already, a human being living life as best we can--learning, growing, loving. In the public sessions on this youtube channel, we have all-group inquiry sessions called First Friday Inquiry, we have interviews with practitioners of The Work, we have Q&A Tuesday live videos (on the eating peace playlist) and we have individual sessions in The Work by courageous people willing to be recorded for Peace Talk podcast and this channel.
Thanks to everyone involved in what is shared here on this channel, as it is great service to others in the world who find their way here and who are curious about life without "believing" or identifying with thought all the time. Self-inquiry and The Work of Byron Katie supports us to ride the wave of thought into the mystery of No Thought, or the space of being who we are, already, without our troubling stories. All is well.
