A Simple Yet Powerful Practice
As we do The Work of Byron Katie, not only do we remain alert to our stressful thoughts—the ones that cause all the anger, sadness, and frustration in our world—but we question them, and through that questioning the thoughts lose their power over us. Great spiritual texts describe the what—what it means to be free. The Work is the how. It shows you exactly how to identify and question any thought that would keep you from that freedom.
How to do The Work
The Practice
Every step of The Work is meditation. To begin, drop into stillness and observe what arises in the mind’s eye. Now, allow The Work to work you.
Notice
Who or what upsets, angers, or saddens you? Why? Recall a specific situation.
Painful emotions are the temple bells that wake you up to tell you, “It’s time to do The Work.”
Write
Capture your stressful thoughts on a Worksheet using short, simple sentences.
Once the mind is stopped on paper, thoughts remain stable and inquiry can easily be applied.
Question
Isolate and question one thought—allow authentic answers to arise.
A question is an invitation to the mind, an opportunity to be shown what is true, beyond what we think we know.
Turn It Around
Find opposites of the thought. Are they as true as or truer than the original thought?
The turnarounds give consciousness an opportunity to expand, rather than being stuck in a limited reality.
The Nine-Day
School for The Work
The School for The Work is the School of You. Byron Katie is there with you every day, at every session, to guide you into the deep places of The Work.
This is a School of stillness, of presence, and of meditating on the thoughts that have limited you and held you back in your relationships and at work. It’s an opportunity to discover the cause of all suffering and how to end it. Most participants describe these nine days as the most important days of their life.

Witness The Work
Video Library
Videos offer a way to become familiar with The Work. As you watch, be still and tune in to a similar moment in your life. Notice what arises in your mind. It is possible to do your own Work as you witness other people’s Work. You may come to find that there are no new stressful thoughts.

“Byron Katie’s Work is a great blessing for our planet. It acts like a razor-sharp sword that cuts through illusion and enables you to know for yourself the timeless essence of your being.”

An Invitation to Inquiry
Welcome to The Work
I discovered that when I believed my thoughts I suffered, but when I didn’t believe them I didn’t suffer, and that this is true for every human being. Freedom is as simple as that. I found that suffering is optional. I found a joy within me that has never disappeared, not for a single moment. That joy is in everyone, always. And I invite you to not to believe me. I invite you to test it for yourself.
