#230 Liberate Your Mind | Byron Katie on The Power of Self-Inquiry & The 4 Transformative Questions

My guest today is author and teacher of the method of self-inquiry known as THE WORK, Byron Katie. This is an interview I have wanted to do for several years because Katie is someone who has personally taught me and my family so much. I admit that trying to contain her and the work program into a linear conversation is pretty funny. Having a version of her own awakening close to 40 years ago, Katie shared that four questions kept coming to her: 1. Is it true? 2. Can you absolutely know it's true? 3. How do you react? What happens when you believe that thought? 4. Who would you be without that thought? I wouldn't even begin to try to simplify the profound impact that Katie's four questions have had on my own internal dialogue and the stories that I tell myself. She shares in her belief that our human suffering happens within the mind, and that her desire to help us be free from suffering is a big part of her mission. Being able to liberate ourselves from the memories of the past and the anxious anticipation of the future, even if just for moments, can have a profound impact on our lives and relationships. Enjoy.
