Ernest’s Podcasts on The Work of Byron Katie

In this fourth episode of Questions and Answers on The Work, I have a conversation with Michael revolving mainly around the role as facilitator. We discuss how to go deeper with our Work, motives, the desire to find shortcuts and be effective - and then Michael asks me if The Work is actually a sect.  

In this episode of Questions and Answers on The Work, Atul and follow-up on our conversation from the last episode. Among other things, we discuss The Work as a practice, the desire for taking The Work into actions, the concept of the Friendly Universe, and the challenge of how to know that you are still “in the Work” when you are using a more explorative style.

In this episode of Questions and Answers on The Work, I’m in a conversation with Atul about a number of foundational aspects of The Work, including the very meaning and purpose of the process. We talk about how The Work helps us navigate our life journey, about letting go of control, shadow-work, and spiritual bypassing.

In this first episode of Questions and Answers on The Work, I talk to Keitheley and together, we cover a lot of specific and technical ground around doing The Work. We discuss the difference between holding The Work as a procedure or as a space of exploration, what it means to have an agenda as facilitator, living turnarounds, underlying beliefs and the importance of taking our time when we do The Work.

The Podcasts on The Work of Byron Katie have grown into a book! It's called "How to End the Stories that Screw Up Your Life - A Step-By-Step Guide to the Amazing Process of Self-Inquiry" and is available as an audiobook on Audible and a paperback and an eBook on Amazon. These are the first couple of chapters of the audiobook version.

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. Instead, the client and the facilitatior simply dive in, searching for the underlying beliefs that are causing the client's distress and working them as they show up. 

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.

In the fourth and final episode of the "How To Do The Work"-series, we follow up on the turnarounds and I present you with a collection of subquestions to help you dive deeper into question 3: "How do you react, what happens when you believe that thought?". I also offer a facilitation guide to print out and support you through the entire process and give you a few final tips and tricks to get you good to go.

Please note: You are advised to listen to the podcasts in posting order, and for this podcast, you are invited to print out and bring the Facilitation Guide that is posted on the resources page of my website: www.theartofbeinghuman.dk.

In this third episode of the "How To Do The Work"-series, we continue to the third part of The Work - the turnarounds. You learn how to identify the correct turnarounds for your oneliners and how to find your examples for each of them. And I invite you to try them out on the Judge-Your-Neighbor-Worksheet, you worked with in the previous session.

Please note: You are advised to listen to the podcasts in posting order, and for this podcast, you are invited to bring a filled out Judge-Your-Neighbor-Worksheet.
