Peace Talk Episode 272: I need a job, but jobs are boring, urgent and chaotic--questioning beliefs that cause suffering with employment
Peace Talk: The Work of Byron Katie with Grace
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...

Peace Talk Episode 271: losing a child, regret, wishing for what is not here, finding turnarounds
Peace Talk: The Work of Byron Katie with Grace
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.

Peace Talk Episode 268: I hurt her feelings, and now she's going to come back to me with this
Peace Talk: The Work of Byron Katie with Grace
When someone gets hurt by something we said, it can feel scary. We not only feel worried about having hurt their feelings, but also defensive about our position and angry.

Peace Talk Episode 266: Happy 2025--Your life would be better if it was exactly the way it is
Peace Talk: The Work of Byron Katie with Grace
When we come into a new calendar year, there is often talk about resolutions, the "word" we want for the year, dreams we might have for our lives. We really consider what a good life is, and what it is not. Today, we looked at the belief "my life would be better if....." in this inquiry today, to find also that this life--the one I am given and the one I experience--is the one for me. Can we see advantages for what has happened that looks "not good"? Who are we without our stories about good lives (and it doesn't mean we shouldn't have stories)? Grace Bell, facilitator of The...

Peace Talk 264: An inquirer with a spouse who had cancer diagnosis sees Something will happen vs something BAD will happen
Peace Talk: The Work of Byron Katie with Grace
What is it like when we believe something terrible, horrendous, difficult is happening? We don't notice how the weather changes....and how resilient we are. A man questions his belief that in badness when his wife is diagnosed with cancer. He sees how the mind makes out the situation to be "bad", and that even though the situation looks threatening, it doesn't mean it absolutely is.

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 Eating Peace 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" thought all the time.
In all-group sessions and solo sessions, we begin with a judgment...and move into the four questions and turnarounds.
Willingness to be real and honest with your thinking is the first powerful step in The Work.
No one ever has to share when attending Friday Inquiry, and thank you when you do.
