Peace Talk: The Work of Byron Katie with Grace

Peace Talk Episode 213: Is it possible to accept the body, even when I dislike how it looks and feels?


Listen Later

When we dislike whatever is happening in our bodies, we feel fear, worry, angst, suffering. We make plans to change it.

What if we questioned our story, when it's painful? How strange to question the story of pain, disease, or physical appearance. But what does it look like to do this? Who are we without a story?

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 Q&A Tuesday live 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" or identifying with thought all the time. Self-inquiry and The Work of Byron Katie supports us to ride the wave of thought into the mystery of No Thought, or the space of being who we are, already, without our troubling stories. All is well.
