How Four Questions Can Change Your Life.
'If you want something to be different from what it is, you might as well try to teach a cat to bark . . . Wanting something to be different from what it is, is hopeless.'
This simple but profound philosophy is the essence of 'Loving What Is' - and it comes from Byron Katie, a woman who has known great pain and suffering in her life. At her lowest, bleakest point, she awakened one morning to a spontaneous and dramatic shift in awareness. What she received - and what she has been successfully sharing with people around the world ever since - is a gift of inner clarity and peace. She calls it The Work - and work it does.
The Work of Byron Katie is simply four questions which you can use to find relief from chronic problems on all levels: mental, emotional and physical. When used in different situations, these four questions (and the ways you then turn them around) can awaken peaceful even ecstatic feelings, and radically alter your perspective.
Unlike any spiritual system before it, The Work doesn't attempt to change or silence your mind, but rather to understand and befriend it. This is about being who you are, in your own skin, comfortable with reality, able to love yourself.
Through these four easy questions (and "the turn-around") you can reach new and profound understandings about your life. You can replace pain with laughter and joy; exchange feeling weighed down with a lightness of being. The purpose of Byron Katie's Work is freedom: freedom for us all.
