Peace Talk: The Work of Byron Katie with Grace Grace Bell

When we believe anything should stay with us, including money, we can often experience fear.
But who would we be without the story of staying, or leaving, as we notice even we ourselves move and flow all through life.
In person retreat in Seattle is coming! April 30-May 5, 2024. Learn more here: https://www.workwithgrace.com/in-person-spring-retreat/
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 Eating Peace 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" thought all the time.  
In all-group sessions and solo sessions, we begin with a judgment...and move into the four questions and turnarounds.
Willingness to be real and honest with your thinking is the first powerful step in The Work. 
No one ever has to share when attending Friday Inquiry, and thank you when you do.

When we believe we need to get rid of thoughts, especially very repetitive thoughts that return again and again and are painful, it can be even more stressful.
It's possible to question any thought at all. When "fat thoughts" appear, as they do for so many of us who have been plagued by concerns about acceptance and rejection of the shape of the body, it hurts. 
It's possible to relax our beliefs about those thoughts themselves, while also questioning the belief "I need to stop thinking these fat thoughts". 
Is it true? Can I absolutely know it's true I am fat? Can I know it's true I shouldn't keep thinking I'm fat?
Who would I be without my story?

When we believe something in our lives that doesn't change is keeping us from the center of life itself, that this condition keeps us on the sidelines....it hurts. 
We want that condition gone.
We believe we're doing something wrong, that this condition is present in our lives. 
Whether it's a health condition like a disease, weight, pain or another ailment, OR this condition is a troubled primary relationship or job title....we can question our beliefs about the presence of this state of affairs in our lives, and see what possibilities can arise when we drop the story of being against What Is. 
Acceptance and compassion emerges. We can trust life. We can find an open window when a door has closed.

So many of us are familiar with the thoughts that direct attention to who we are as a person in the world, and how it's coming up short. 
Then, to add to this list of shortcomings, we say we shouldn't be so self-critical, we should love ourselves.
Who would we be without this story? 
Listen today as a woman finds this thought stressful, and has a motive to not be critical in order to receive the acceptance from another. So innocent the way our minds work with this story.

Helen Amery is a coach from the UK who has created the Enlightenment Summit, along with a program following the summit where participants will explore this wonderful topic. 
As one of the speakers in the summit, I enjoyed interviewing Helen on her journey and how she came to be doing what she does.
Her scientific background in chemistry at university, followed by years in the corporate world, is a fascinating backdrop to the study of enlightenment and eventually a great expansion of ways humans can meet themselves. 
You can find Helen and her enlightenment summit at: https://wildfigsolutions.co.uk/2023/12/15/enlightenment-summit/
Her book is here: https://thoughtfulraven.co.uk/the-complete-book-of-awakening/

When we have a new year, we often reflect on what this new year will contain, offer, and what we'll experience.
If you have problems...we often want them solved. We want them gone. 
Who would you be without the story "something is blocking my peace, happiness, dream"?
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.
