The Work of Byron
Katie is a revolutionary new process of self-inquiry that can be
learned easily and practiced either
alone or with an experienced facilitator. By doing the Work
we see how we take for granted ideas, thoughts, and beliefs about
ourselves and others
which cause us to suffer because they are contrary to what
is. By discovering these assumptions and questioning them we come
to see that life can be
joyful, stress-free and peaceful, and that the peaceful mind
is closer to truth than the fearful thoughts we are habituated to.
The Work is for
anyone, it has been compared to Socratic dialog and Zen koans,
and has been taught in hospitals, corporations and prisons. It has
helped people
with depression, anxiety, phobias, relationship difficulties,
self-esteem issues and much else. We teach you to do the Work with
a facilitator and
also alone, in writing.
In the words of Eckhart Tolle, author of "The Power of Now":
"Byron Katie's Work is a great blessing for our planet." "The
root cause of suffering is the identification with our thoughts,
the "stories" that
are continuously running through our minds. The Work acts like
a razor-sharp sword that cuts through that illusion and enables
you
to know for yourself
the timeless essence of your being."
Nina Lynch is a graduate in Transpersonal Psychology from Naropa
University and her husband Ashik has an MA in Philosophy from
the University of Oxford.
They have both practised meditation for over thirty years,
and were originally drawn to the Work from that perspective.
They attended the 9-day School
for the Work with Byron Katie, and subsequently returned to
staff two more Schools, as well as assist her in several 3-day
events. They regularly
volunteer on the hotline sponsored by the
Byron Katie website,
and are dedicated to sharing the Work wherever they are asked
to do so, in Japan
and in their home base of Colorado, USA, and worldwide through
the medium of teleclasses, which are listed on their website
