Peace Talk Episode 253: Money should stay with me
When we believe anything should stay with us, including money, we can often experience fear. But who would we be without the story of staying, or leaving, as we notice even we ourselves move and flow all through life. In person retreat in Seattle is coming! April 30-May 5, 2024. Learn more here: https://www.workwithgrace.com/in-person-spring-retreat/ Grace Bell, facilitator of The Work, assists people to identify and question their stressful ways of looking at life. She offers Year of Inquiry, a vibrant membership community of inquirers Sept-June each year. 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.

Peace Talk Episode 252: The Work of Byron Katie on addiction "I need to release repetitive fat thoughts"
When we believe we need to get rid of thoughts, especially very repetitive thoughts that return again and again and are painful, it can be even more stressful. It's possible to question any thought at all. When "fat thoughts" appear, as they do for so many of us who have been plagued by concerns about acceptance and rejection of the shape of the body, it hurts. It's possible to relax our beliefs about those thoughts themselves, while also questioning the belief "I need to stop thinking these fat thoughts". Is it true? Can I absolutely know it's true I am fat? Can I know it's true I shouldn't keep thinking I'm fat? Who would I be without my story? In person retreat in Seattle is coming! April 30-May 5, 2024.

Peace Talk Episode 251: Questioning the belief This condition (health, relationship, state of affairs) keeps me on the sidelines
When we believe something in our lives that doesn't change is keeping us from the center of life itself, that this condition keeps us on the sidelines....it hurts. We want that condition gone. We believe we're doing something wrong, that this condition is present in our lives. Whether it's a health condition like a disease, weight, pain or another ailment, OR this condition is a troubled primary relationship or job title....we can question our beliefs about the presence of this state of affairs in our lives, and see what possibilities can arise when we drop the story of being against What Is. Acceptance and compassion emerges. We can trust life. We can find an open window when a door has closed. In person retreat in Seattle is coming! April 30-May 5, 2024.

Peace Talk Episode 250: During a group session, a woman does The Work on herself "I should not be self-critical"
So many of us are familiar with the thoughts that direct attention to who we are as a person in the world, and how it's coming up short. Then, to add to this list of shortcomings, we say we shouldn't be so self-critical, we should love ourselves. Who would we be without this story? Listen today as a woman finds this thought stressful, and has a motive to not be critical in order to receive the acceptance from another. So innocent the way our minds work with this story.

Peace Talk Episode 249: A Conversation with Helen Amery about Enlightenment and Awakening
Helen Amery is a coach from the UK who has created the Enlightenment Summit, along with a program following the summit where participants will explore this wonderful topic. As one of the speakers in the summit, I enjoyed interviewing Helen on her journey and how she came to be doing what she does. Her scientific background in chemistry at university, followed by years in the corporate world, is a fascinating backdrop to the study of enlightenment and eventually a great expansion of ways humans can meet themselves.

Peace Talk Episode 247: Should I never try to stop myself from doing, saying, feeling something?

Peace Talk Episode 247: Should I never try to stop myself from doing, saying, feeling something?
We look at willpower, discipline, structure, laws, rules and resolutions....and notice how often they have failed and don't appear to work. Yet, someone asks "does this mean I should never try to stop my behavior, I should just DO it whenever the urge arises to do it?" This is swinging in the complete opposite direction and using the thought "willpower doesn't work" to give the excuse to just fall into a behavior that isn't ultimately what I want. What we truly want, is for the behavior that seems to be "required" to become unnecessary and irrelevant. What we truly want is to no longer be interested in the behavior. The only way I have found to do this is to see what I'm thinking, believing and feeling it does for me--and to investigate this. In this video I share an exercise where you can begin.

Peace Talk Episode 244: I don't like the thoughts I'm having
I don't know about you, but when I've had troubling, frightening or pessimistic thoughts, my whole body has tensed and fought against them. Why am I thinking this? What's wrong with me? The mind grinds away churning out, it seems, unwanted ideas repetitively. But what if we explored that more deeply, and wondered about this "thinking" that appears so troubling? We can question the thinking specifically, but also the very idea that thoughts appear that we can't handle....that they mean something is wrong with me. Is that really true?

Peace Talk Episode 243: How not to attack yourself for doing it...again

Peace Talk Episode 243: How not to attack yourself for doing it...again
One of the first ideas I offer around dissolving repetitive habit (thoughts, behaviors, feelings) is to stop trying to control it--and even before that, to stop hating that you do it. When I began to see I might have a natural desire to stop, that I don't need to conjure up or make happen, something shifted. Hear my story here of a moment when I had binged, but something inside me didn't attack me for it. Something changed. It really was the beginning of the end of my over-eating and binge-eating. 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 Bell, facilitator of The Work, assists people to identify and question their stressful ways of looking at life. She offers Year of Inquiry, a vibrant membership community of inquirers Sept-June each year. 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.

Peace Talk Episode 242: Self-inquiry and Compulsion--What if I am frantic about my addictive habit?
When we do something over and over that doesn't seem to serve our best interests, we can feel so defeated, ashamed, furious. Our situation looks severe. The other day I got a note from a listener: My life is falling apart, I need help, I can't stop taking pills and my husband has divorced me and I live far away from my kids now, with my health plummeting. I feel disabled, I'm frightened. Many of us feel this way when we do a thing over and over without changing, even though we've promised and thought about changing thousands of times before. Here's one thing to notice today, to consider (even though it may be tricky): Who are you without your thoughts? Who are you if you don't identify with thinking everything you're imagining? How might this be less tricky for us to tap into, even just a tiny bit? You may be surprised to see a drop of inquiry energy can allow another glimpse of life to come along.

Peace Talk Episode 240: three secrets that can transform your life through self-inquiry

Peace Talk Episode 240: three secrets that can transform your life through self-inquiry
There are many approaches to transformation that invite us to question our thoughts, especially when we self-sabotage, or get overwhelmed with feelings. Our blind spots are in our minds. Self-inquiry can allow insights to emerge, but how do we do it? Three secrets to allowing the transformative energy of self-inquiry to work, with comments about why I see these as so important. 1) loosening up on control--quit trying to control, quit, change, force, aggress. The longing for control seems like a compulsion in itself. 2) question the belief "There is something wrong". Very strange when it appears something is off...we are not pretending this doesn't hurt, but we can question what our predicament means, and notice the knife-wielding that comes with the belief "this is wrong/I am wrong", especially towards ourselves. 3) allowing whatever is present to be here, as it is. This is what is. What if this problem is my road to freedom?

Peace Talk Episode 239: Every day I fail at being good. How can I be good?
When we're focused on how we should be good, and we aren't, it really hurts within. It feels like we're failures and we have proof. What if we've been mistaken about our goodness and badness, or evaluating everything in this way? What if we're just feeling frightened, and this mechanism is OK--it's a sensor for looking and compassion? What if we're already good, whole, unbroken, able, and the question turns our attention somewhere that doesn't really help?

Peace Talk Episode 238: Why don't I inquire when I know self-inquiry and The Work, works?
Thousands of people have encountered and practiced The Work since it was first offered as a simple self-inquiry method by Byron Katie in the late 1980s/early 1990s. While the questions are similar to a deep exploration of life, being human, and personal thought....the process called The Work has made it very simple in a step-by-step format, especially good for when the mind is spinning. But what happens with many of us when we just do NOT keep engaging in the practice? We know meditation is good for us, but we drop it and get busy, and drift away from being with ourselves in silence more and more. This is very normal, and very common in a busy thinking mind. When we're identified with whatever the mind is saying, we get caught in its sweetness and terribleness. Oh the drama! Who would we be without our stories? Just coming back, into inquiry, noticing how much we like to notice, and how curious we really are.

When we have some kind of behavior, feeling or stressful story we don't like, and it keeps reappearing as a form of self-sabotage or suffering, we can get really, really frustrated. What if we tried inquiring instead? And how would I do this?

Peace Talk Episode 236: What causes suffering? Cancer, anxiety, relationships, divorce, loss? Let's Inquire!
First Friday is an open interactive experiential session offered to the general public, using The Work of Byron Katie as the primary modality of investigation and self-realization. In this session, a man whose wife has been diagnosed with breast cancer shares his fear and despair and his thoughts about cancer--and how it causes long-term suffering. Other people also shared their own experiences of targeting a cause of suffering (divorce, anxiety, compulsive eating, abandonment, child, husband, spouse). Is it the event, thing or person over there who is causing suffering long term? Or is it my thoughts about that event, condition, thing or person that causes long-term suffering? Amazing to see what happens. 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.

Peace Talk Episode 234: Do I need to regulate my nervous system to help with my overeating?

Peace Talk Episode 234: Do I need to regulate my nervous system to help with my overeating?
When we overeat, over-drink, over-spend, over-screen, over-porn, over-think....we're certainly noticing a struggle with ourselves. There can be great wisdom in seeing this, and wondering about it all relates to the body, our nervous systems, a sense of the physical aspect of being. People refer often to "somatic" experiences in the process of healing and therapy. This means to make full contact with the body and its communication. To experience emotions in the body, feelings, sensations, tiny movements. But do we need to actively regulate our nervous system? It can really help to know how to calm ourselves down, and we can also question anything stressful about our approach to this process; in this case, "I" have to regulate my nervous system. Or I "have to" regulate my nervous system. I love seeing that while I want to be a great co-partner in allowing the body and mind to calm down, it is also actively calming down without having to do anything really. The, the "over-doing" might be a way we've gotten used to helping things calm down, but I love questioning the belief that the activated or calming down experiences are who we are. 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 Bell, facilitator of The Work, assists people to identify and question their stressful ways of looking at life. She offers Year of Inquiry, a vibrant membership community of inquirers Sept-June each year. Grace also has a special love for those suffering from self-sabotage and 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. To watch a mini-workshop about healing self-sabotage with self-inquiry, visit this link here: https://try.workwithgrace.com/mini-workshop 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.

Peace Talk Episode 231: when we believe what is happening should NOT be happening....we suffer

Peace Talk Episode 231: when we believe what is happening should NOT be happening....we suffer
What if nothing out there in the world needed to change, in order for me to feel love, peace or happiness? I love Carl Jung's quote: "In every disorder, is a secret order." It almost seems automatic to look at most things with the idea in mind that it shouldn't be the way it is: circumstances, people, our behaviors and troubling habits, our body shape and size, our past...difficult events that have happened. What if just for a moment we questioned that thought? When we question underlying beliefs like this one, it helps point us in the direction of freedom and peace. We are not dependent on life or the world--or even ourselves--changing, in order to be at peace, to be comfortable.

Peace Talk Episode 230: How do I stop when satisfied? (About ANYTHING)
When we're going to get something that we need, there's a movement towards it that's very natural. We need water, we make our way towards the source of water (the kitchen sink, the water cooler). It's natural. What's happening when we move towards something that doesn't wind up feeling good, that actually hurts us in some way, where discouragement is the consequence even though we've done or taken or gotten the thing? A great question: how do I stop when satisfied? Is there a method, a series of steps, a way we can work with this "something" we want so we can have the feeling of satisfaction? The good news is, something is already at peace right here within, in every moment. Something is already OK with not hunting for satisfaction out there, elsewhere. Can we be with the one who is not satisfied? Yes, like a compassionate parent with a little child. Nothing is guaranteed to be a "good" outcome, and still, the mother/father can be with the one who is disappointed, afraid, upset.

Peace Talk Episode 229: What's the relationship between A Course in Miracles and The Work of Byron Katie?
If you've heard of A Course in Miracles, you might have noticed a lot of what is shared in the course texts is very similar to what is seen when we question our thinking. Perhaps this is true about many spiritual texts and teachings over the lifetime of the human race. They are pointing to something intangible yet peaceful, something beyond thought or the stream of thinking we get so involved in. Anything you find in life that works for you is so wonderful. One quote from the course very similar to The Work is "what you think you are, is a belief to be undone." In many ways, both the Course and The Work are about relaxing the experience of thought itself--allowing it to be the way it is, and being open to the great and miraculous Don't Know space we all have access to. When we ask "who am I without my thought?" I have the opportunity to feel and be with what's here when I don't have a thought about it.

Peace Talk Episode 228: The Work of Byron Katie on the belief "we do not have much in common"
When we interact with groups, family members, friends, neighbors, whole cities, religious organizations, political clubs.... ....we often judge. What happens when we believe the thought "we do NOT have much in common"? Listen as someone leads the way through this belief, and the group assembled joins in and offers their own perspective, which is so very useful. Who we are without our stories is so kind, compassionate, and even interested in "those other people". Or not. All of it is OK. July 9, 2023: Self-Sabotage Mini Workshop (FREE).

Peace Talk Episode 227: What if change looks too scary? What if I believe it requires more of me than I have?
An inquirer asks: "I'm at a stage where I've questioned a lot and had some real insights, but I still find it hard in the moment sometimes not to be seduced by the ego into believing images of past/future. I don't feel that I have the strength/energy/bandwidth to make that leap into living the turn arounds. Honestly it might take a change in priorities which also feels scary and stressful in its own way." I see a few wonderful things in this question that may help, if you've had some of the same kinds of thoughts appear: 1. My relationship with thought itself 2. What I believe is necessary to overcome this (strength/bandwidth) 3. The change will ask me to do something scary So much beautiful information here, so helpful for us to find the clues into insight and awareness. It can be like a hidden treasure, buried somewhere...and making the discovery that life wants to reveal for us. Who would you be without the story that you don't have what it takes...and what it takes, furthermore, is too frightening? July 9, 2023: Self-Sabotage Mini Workshop (FREE).

Peace Talk Episode 226: How do I accept my body with my heart (and not just intellectually)?
Q&A Tuesday: A listener asks "How do I accept my body with my heart (and not just intellectually)? In some ways, the invitation here is to go all the way, at least it has been for me. Notice those harsh criticisms, and allow them to live. Spend time with the body, and the judgment, and question, question, question. Who are we without our thoughts? When we notice judgment of something, someone, anything...the tone is harsh, cutting, edgy, boundary-setting. To question our thoughts becomes a fascinating investigation. We're curious. We see how the tone has fear contained in it, or anger, or worry. It's being protective, expressing concern. When we notice this clearly with our thoughts and minds, and yet don't feel it in our bodies and hearts, what's happening there? I love this inquirers question "How do I get there?" How do I really love what I'm seeing? I love seeing we are the heart itself. Gentle, willing, able--already fully accepting, just like nature, which we are.

Peace Talk Episode 225: Harlan Kilstein and Grace Bell Interview The Work on Eating Issues

Peace Talk Episode 225: Harlan Kilstein and Grace Bell Interview The Work on Eating Issues
I was asked by Dr. Harlan Kilstein recently for an interview so he could share with the women he works with for weight loss. He was very interested in mindset and wanted to ask me questions about self-inquiry. 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 Bell, facilitator of The Work, assists people to identify and question their stressful ways of looking at life. She offers Year of Inquiry, a vibrant membership community of inquirers Sept-June each year. 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.

Peace Talk Episode 224: How do I get to the point of truly wanting peace? Look at this question.
I received the question: How do I get to the point of truly wanting eating peace? The one asking has to believe they must not want peace, based on the evidence of off-balance eating. They're believing, as we all do sometimes, that peace is not present or available right now. It's coming sometime in the future, I just have to hunt it down. "I need to make my wanting be directed to wanting peace....TRULY" (says the mind). But what if right in the middle of intense wanting is something important, a natural movement--just like the body needs water, or needs to get up and go to the bathroom? What if our vision of "not wanting" is also a little skewed? What if we can be OK with the way we are, right now, and also in the moment of reaching take a close look at what's going on right there when we're looking back at ourselves and deciding "that person wasn't wanting the 'right' thing". Is that true?
