Fr. Nathan discusses "The Work" of Byron Katie. A method of inquiry born directly out of Byron Katie’s experience. This practice allows you to access the wisdom that always exists within you.                               
 
In 1986, at the bottom of a ten-year spiral into depression and self-loathing, Byron Katie woke up one morning in a state of joy. She realized that when she believed her stressful thoughts, she suffered, but that when she questioned them, she didn’t suffer, and that this is true for every human being. Her simple yet powerful process of self-inquiry, which she calls The Work, consists of four questions and the turnaround, which is a way of experiencing the opposite of what you believe. Byron Katie has been bringing The Work to millions of people for more than thirty years.

Her books include the bestselling  Loving What Is now in a revised edition, I Need Your Love—Is That True?,  A Thousand Names for Joy, and A Mind at Home with Itself

Please join her at athomewithbk.com for At Home with BK on Zoom every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from 9-10 a.m. Pacific Time.
