Have you read Loving What Is written by Byron Katie? in which she explains how to do The Work
I’m coming to the end of the book and although I get the concept I’m struggling to get clarity on any thought I start with…I don’t feel better about stuff at all…I can see how it works for other people having watched lots of the clips but I’m pretty stuck…
I feel like there are so so many thoughts that I get into one and another pops up…and then another and another…the four questions just seem to lead me deeper and deeper into more and more questions…without answers…or peace
I wonder whether any Jellies have read this book or had experience of Katie’s work or other books? How long have you been doing the work for? Can you tell me your experiences please?

I am not familiar with the Work and personally approach similar situations but in just the opposite direction. I find meditation to be very effective for sorting through problems…but instead on focusing on any problem in particular meditations goal is to focus on nothing at all or to achieve complete absence of anything. I have yet to ever get there but in the process of focusing on nothing it is the “noise” or distractions that are the first to go during the mediation and it sort sieves out the less important thoughts and many times the important thought/dilemma/question will remain and speak to me in ways that I may have missed or not seen before.
Hi…..Lynne….....
I totally understand what you are saying. If you go to her website (Katie’s) you can see where you can actually get someone who is “in training” to do “The Work” with you…I think it is free. So, rather than attempting to figure it out from a book, you can truly “experience” the Work with a facilitator for free. I think this is the best way to do it.
I have found more personal breakthrough with the work of Jo Dunning. (www.jodunning.com) She doesn’t ask questions…she just energetically shifts your energy. You listen to her lecture (on the ‘net) and she will be talking to you, but in the background she is shifting your perceptions…as far as you are willing to accept the energy. It works really amazingly well.
Go to her website…sign up for “The Abundance Project”...which means abundance on all levels…..and read what she has to offer…..most of her things are free. This work is quick, painless and it absolutely begins to bring you joy and freedom….and a sense of peace…without having to dredge up old stuff and patterns and programs. It just clears it out….like a big spring cleaning.
Hope this helps.
@DarlingRhadamanthus yes, I’ve watched some of those clips..I think I’ll go back and watch thema gain though. Thank you for the other information – I’ll definitely check this out!! xxx wts.
