Unter den unzähligen therapeutischen Methoden und spirituellen Wegen, die mir in den letzten 30 Jahren begegnet sind, gibt es nichts, das so einfach und wirksam ist, wie „The Work“. In den 90er Jahren war mir die Macht von Fragen wohl bewusst, als ich nach den Fragen suchte, die mich aus einer persönlichen Krise hinaus - und zu innerer Freiheit führen würden. Zuvor hatte ich Fragen verwendet als Journalistin, als Familientherapeutin und in der Meditation („wer bin ich?“).

In Byron Katies Arbeit fand ich die Fragen, die Erleichterung bringen und mir zeigen, wie ich meine belastendsten Lebenssituationen nutzen kann, um innere Weisheit und Klarheit zu finden. Ich habe das Potenzial von The Work erfahren im Umgang mit Scheidung, dem Singleleben, mit neuer Partnerschaft, im Umgang mit Sorgen und Ängsten, in der Betreuung meines Alzheimerkranken Vaters, im Zusammenhang mit Kritik und heftiger Selbstanklage, sowie mit vielen weiteren Themen. The Work hat mich gelehrt, mir selber treu zu sein, für mich einzustehen und zu erkennen, wie ich mein Herz verschliesse und leide, wenn ich an stressreichen Überzeugungen festhalte.

Die Arbeit mit den vier Fragen und der Umkehrung sind in meinem Leben zentral geworden. Seit dem Jahr 2000 gebe ich dieses wunderbare „Werkzeug“ der Selbsterkenntnis und Selbstheilung, das mir selber so wertvoll geworden ist, an andere weiter. Das Hinterfragen von Überzeugungen mit The Work führt immer tiefer, lässt uns immer klarer, authentischer, lebendiger und herzlicher werden.

The Work in Action


"I'm too fat"

-------

“A spiritual innovator for
the new millennium.”
TIME

-------

“Katie's laser-like tough love burns away all illusions.”
The Times of London

-------

“Byron Katie’s Work is a great blessing for our planet. The root cause of suffering is 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.
Joy, peace, and love emanate from it as your natural state.”
Eckhart Tolle
author, The Power of Now

-------

“Byron Katie is one of the truly great and inspiring
teachers of our time.
She has been enormously
helpful to me personally.
I love this very wise woman.”
Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
author, Inspiration

In a letter from Helsinki, Finland, J.V. writes:
"...two groundbreaking Stanford University pain syndrome experts consider Byron Katie's approach the best form of Cognitive Therapy. In the new Revised 5th Edition of A Headache in the Pelvis (pp.326-330), that came out in May 2008, Stanford psychologist David Wise Ph.D. and neurourologist Rodney Anderson, M.D. refer to Albert Ellis' Rational-Emotive Therapy and Aaron Beck's Cognitive Therapy and then write (in their italics): "The best form of Cognitive Therapy is, in our opinion, is offered in the work of Byron Katie who provides an approach to disarming catastrophic thinking by means of a process that one can do oneself. This is the approach that we recommend." They then describe the procedure adding: "Our description of this process is rarely sufficient to become proficient at it. We discuss this method in our monthly 6-day clinics. Information specifically about this cognitive therapy work can be found at www.thework.com and the books of Byron Katie." Wise and Anderson are practical "in the trenches" therapists who work daily with severe pelvic pain and other chronic syndromes. They recommended Byron Katie's method already in the 4th edition of the book (pp. 298-301). All the best to you and your wonderful work."

“Byron Katie's teachings
and everyday life
are pure wisdom.
Her Work shows us
the way to inner peace,
and she directs us there,
fearlessly, relentlessly, and
with utmost generosity.
I have rarely seen anyone
—spiritual teachers included— embody wisdom as powerfully as Katie in her passionate embrace of each and every moment.”
Roshi Bernie Glassman

-------

“Katie’s Work is a
wonderful, transformative practice for anyone interested in spiritual growth.”
Lama Surya Das
author, Awakening the Buddha Within

-------

“Good Lord! Where did Byron Katie come from? She’s the real McCoy. Her Work is amazingly effective—a simple, straightforward antidote to the suffering we unnecessarily create for ourselves. She asks us to believe nothing, but provides a surprisingly effective and simple way to cut through the tangle of delusions we wrap ourselves in.”
David Chadwick
author, Crooked Cucumber: The Life and Zen Teaching of Shunryu Suzuki

-------

“Suppose you could find a simple way to embrace your life with joy, stop arguing with reality, and achieve serenity in the midst of chaos. That is what Loving What Is offers. It is no less than a revolutionary way to live your life. The question is: are we brave enough to accept it?”
Erica Jong

author, Fear of Flying
