COMMUNE – The Work of Byron Katie: This course provides a comprehensive introduction to “The Work,” a method of self-inquiry developed by Byron Katie to identify and question stressful thoughts. It includes step-by-step guidance on using the four questions and the turnaround process to achieve mental clarity, emotional freedom, and inner peace. The program aims to help participants transform their lives by challenging limiting beliefs and cultivating a mindset of acceptance and self-awareness.
Are you arguing with what is?
When the mind is perfectly clear, “what is” is what we want. But, if you really want reality to be different than it is, you might as well try to teach a cat to bark, a bird to swim, or a fish to run. No matter your effort, arguing with the basic nature of reality is hopeless. If you pay attention, you’ll notice you indulge in thoughts like this all day: “People should be kinder.” “Children should behave.” “My spouse should agree with me.” “I should be thinner, prettier, and more successful.” These thoughts are ways of wanting reality to be different than it is, and they introduce pain into our lives. When we embrace and accept what is, we inevitably overflow with joy.
