Sat, 15 Apr 2017 07:00:00 +0200

In this episode of the "People Doing The Work"-series, we look at a facilitation where the client hasn't filled in a worksheet in advance.

10. People Doing The Work (1): He Is Confusing Ziya

Wed, 01 Mar 2017 06:00:00 +0100

In this episode we get started on the "People Doing The Work"-series, where you get a chance to listen in as others go through the process. Since this may be the first time your hear anyone actually doing The Work - or the first time your hear anyone other than Byron Katie do it - we will start out with a straight-forward recording of a single one-liner being worked as part of the process of going through a “Judge-Your-Neighbor Worksheet”. And what I will invite you to notice, is the meditative quality of the client's work - how she is sinking into the questions and allowing the answers to arise by themselves.

Thu, 01 Dec 2016 06:00:00 +0100

The fourth episode of the "Why The Work Works"-series takes the final step all the way to the work itself and explains how the process of The Work uses the aspects we have covered in episode 1-3 to impact our nervous system and change our Map of Reality.

3. Why The Work Works (3/4): Creating Meaning

Tue, 15 Nov 2016 06:00:00 +0100

The third episode of the "Why The Work Works"-series explains how we use our simulator (episode 2) and our Map of Reality (episode 1) to create meaning out of our experiences. This creation of meaning is the true cause of any problems we experience, and if we want to change our emotional responses and break out of our limiting beliefs, it is our Map of Reality we need to work on. This is what The Work helps us do.

2. Why The Work Works (2/4): The Most Important Thing There Is To Say About Anything

Tue, 01 Nov 2016 07:00:00 +0100

The second episode of the "Why The Work Works"-series is about the most important thing there is to say about anything. What is that, you ask? Simply this: there is only now. It is seductively simple, but it is the most important thing there is to say about anything because it means, that anything that isn't now, isn't real. It's a simulation in your mind. And realizing that has enormous consequences. (Note: You are adviced to listen to the podcasts in the order they are posted)

1. Why The Work Works (1/4): Your Map of Reality

Tue, 01 Nov 2016 06:00:00 +0100

The Podcasts on The Work of Byron Katie open with the "Why The Work Works"-series. This series provides a theoretical understanding of how the mind works as a foundation for understanding why The Work is so effective. This first episode is about The Map of Reality - the subjective filter of interpretation that exists between us and the world, which is completely necessary for us to function, but which is also the true cause of all of our problems.
