Her work for free on you-tube really helped me with the grieving process like nothing else. Just knowing I could change my thoughts expanded by love for my son beyond the grave. Instead of constantly being absorbed in my grief, I could take time out just to feel the love and joy in my heart for my son. She is great.
New Orleans Botanica spot on if I may say so.x
New Orleans Botanica seriously? Because I have tons of grief, but she seems...a bit on the crazy side, I can’t even understand her???
@@cynthiaennis3107 There is no one-size-fits-all with respect to spiritual teachings. We have to discover what fits our personal profile. I am not trying to be a smart ass. Your comment touched me. I have grieved a lot myself, for years. I think there is some profound value in The Work, but with regard to intense grief I have benefited most from psychotherapy and somatic meditation, that is explorations of our emotions and energies as they appear in our body. For an example of the latter see When Things Fall Apart by Pema Chodron. May I ask how you deal with grief? In my experience, surrendering our attempts to control our life and our enotions and feeling all emotions fully is what eventually will heal and transform us. It is often both a brutal and a glorious journey. We should not travel alone. A good travel guide is indispensable. Warm wishes!
Jonas Hjerpe thank you for the book referral by Pema Chodron...I think that’s more up my alley! I don’t deal with all the losses, suicides well & all close family is deceased...I have become a hoarder because of it! You’re right! Only way to get through it is to feel the agony of all the many losses. Psychotherapy has not helped much in these 19 yrs, but the Freedom from Hoarding cd has helped with the hoarding, though not much is left...it’s by InnerTalk technology by Eldon Taylor, which includes forward & backward subliminal speech for both the conscious & subconscious minds! And the Buried in Treasure, 16-week course on how to control Hoarding & why one does it, was great...but it doesn’t address my grief. My therapist said she had no idea how to help me after the suicide of my fiancé & other friends. So, I just wanted to die & be with them all for about 4 yrs...I stayed in bed after having my friends supposedly “rent” from me, but instead, screwed me out of most of the rent money till I now have almost nothing & barely enough to live on. Thank you, again, for that book title! I’ll check out her book! Things really can’t get much worse...lost my condo, my car, most friends moved away...thank heavens there are a few people still in my life...a handful. 💗🙏🏼♥️
@@cynthiaennis3107 The level of honesty you show speaks volumes about your true potential. I am not an expert at all on hoarding, but it does appear to be the very opposite of letting go. When we can't let go, we grasp. When we can't just be or give, we hoard. Of course there is a reason why it is hard to let go. It brings afflictive emotions to the surface. Perhaps we have childhood traumatic experiences involving hurt or abuse when we where just care free and let go. So it is threatening to revised the places that the inner child is terrified about. I think there is good stuff in Pemas writing for you. I wish you all the best! Remember that we are all on the path. Right now your path is painful and difficult. But it is also the pain, when it is fully experienced, that will tear down the walls of your entrapment and offer utter freedom. I just want you to know that I was impressed by your personal account, which to me signals tons of hope. Blessings from Sweden
I had so much trouble with my relationship with my mother, even after she died she was there. I learned, by doing the work, that i had misunderstood her. I found that I didn't really know what she meant by her behaviour. This released me from my anger and shame and brought love back. Thankyou Katie xx❤
I'm having trouble with everyone including myself and your comment brought some clarity and healing to me when reflected deeply upon with a bit of time and patience
byron katie...what a gift...possibly one of the greatest gifts i have ever received.
Yes!
I'm partial to homemade cookies but yes this is on par.
Yes, I think so too, best gift ever!
Eckhart Tolle said "Katie's way is radical". That cracked me up. No kidding, but bless her. Inquiry is incredibly important. If you don't like her, use a different method of inquiry, but definitely do it.
Ben Simpson was
@Ben Simpson, yeah, that's how i found Katie, from Tolle mentioning her method of questioning the voice in the head, all of our beliefs, thoughts & assumptions, she is very brave.
about time to pull the rug out from under the false ego god.
reminds me of 2001 space odyssey, where Dave is floating inside the HAL computer memory circuit board vault, pulling out computer banks, one at a time, as HAL is pleading, getting weaker, being unplugged, begging for his life, meanwhile, Dave has been trying to outwit the murderous HAL, who has been killing his friends & crew-mates & is not so in the mood for sympathy...
When the mind hit, what it believed it saw, it was the ultimate creater of all and than this laughter, it's as if it burst into life and that was the first sound it made - poetic way of describing how the spirit makes itself known.
This is so incredibly valuable. Golden pearls drip into your ears🙏🏽
Thank you for this interview, what a beautiful, powerful soul that has waken up!! I totally get it, and for me when i practice the work on myself it is radical...If i am not liking this it is because "I" am carrying resistance to look within myself..Today I have no resistance...I love this and i love you Byron Katie, thank you..Inspiration to me
Would you still claim that you have no resistance?
I have listened to this many times and every time a weep with joy
I love this interviewer. He asks such penetrating and rich questions.
I've been watching a zillion Byron Katie RUclips videos and this one does not do her justice. She is amazing and I highly suggest spending the time to get to know her ideas via the videos on YT if you want to find a way to stop the suffering your mind creates through its tightly held points of view about all those around you (and thus yourself). She is very accessible when you invest the time to understand.
But this one does a good job of describing the dream we are trapped in by concepts and beliefs and how we create reality by believing thought.
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL...for the ones Awakening....from the slumber of the illusion of form...THANK YOU WITH SO MUCH LOVING GRATITUDE....
Wow...how have I not heard of this amazing women?
Вуйрон кетк
She is a gift.
One feels strange as one listens to this amazing conversation. It's as if one were waking from a dream-journey, slowly but surely. Everything resonates truth! But
one cannot use one's thinking about it because our thinking is an old "clunker" that isn't to be used for this at all! It's like using E.T.'s finger to sense the deep gorgeous
meaningfulness of what Katie and Ian are trying to share. Thank you so much. I am
remembering who I am !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wonderful simple insight and interview. Byron Katie's work is simple and no-nonsense, no fancy theories, ideas, just down-to-earth reality in the inquiry of us that we already know. Thank you.
This is an incredible interview! Byron is so open.
five minutes in now, speechless already. very much recognition in what she says!
Five mins in your writing already.god bless you.
9 years later, love all reality, , , & how is it going now?
Yes, that's my experience from a 4 year old.. the insight that all there is is this now and wherever i am everything appears.. and its all there is. I've never heard anyone else recount the same. But makes sense, because its universal afterall.
This is truely an amazing loving wonderful and very inspiring video. Thank you so much Katie Byron
Yes, it really shows she stay true to her teachings. Sitting on hands means passive attitude and she always teaches letting go and being in the moment and focusing on "What is".
thanks to you and meeting you in portugal many years ago i left my heart open to evry one i meet , i hope y come back to the algarve one day lots of love and gratitued
Katie just puts everything in place. NO nonsense...real. Her books are great to have at the ready. I love this Conscious TV, too!
Isn't that what Jesus said, "Become as little children..."? Wisdom of the ages indeed. :)
This is so precious, going within, understanding nothing's true
I cannot stop watching this interview....
Why?
me too, I can't stop watching it because she mirrors my own essence, she is a rememberance of what I have forgotten but never lost within. Everything I have always wanted has been right here within myself. Whenever I stop giving attention to thoughts in the past or future, I feel connected, I feel at one. It is this peace and contentment that I will never get outside myself
Shes amazing.....
Byron, I had never heard your name until a year ago and never took the time to investigate until today. Wow you are singing my song
The minds ability to survive will always fight when questioned. We must continue our inquiry at every fearful moment to survive and be free. All of life is a meditation. I get it.
Thank you. I definitely appreciate what "he is doing" by not relenting in the dispelling of the illusion. He isn't letting up or giving the illusion any passageway with which to remain. For oneself, that is an immensely helpful practice. For "me" to hear it, it isn't bad. It can help one break free..
However, as you say it is possible to simply get lost in the denial of the unreal, to where one views suffering as trivial, which is not how compassion and true understanding manifests.
Thank you! So wonderful to hear Katie in depth. It seemed like I was in the room with them. Brilliant!
I agree absolutly with Byron Katie,she lives in her soul and this is call samadhi in India, enlightment by the buddhists, this is not for everybody. Thank You Katie for your sharing of the high conciousness.
yea hes definitely an amazing interviewer. he asks questions that are right at par with where the persons story is
This is such a wonderful inspiring interview with a wonderful woman. Thanh you so much 🙏❤️
Thank you for this wonderful enlightening hour, beautiful... thank you, I will do my work on every neg thought and on every belief, will follow until they are no more :) this really helped me to step forward. Thank you so much !! Much LOVE !
awesome awesome. awesome
Thanks for your insight. I agree that at the end of the day these are just concepts and we must see for ourselves what is truth.
"Its like I became the joke itself" Wow that was excellent :-)
"Defense is the first act of war" 7 mins in and two gems already
@@karenwrightlac5568another one, from the Sufi~ it's an ill wind that blows no minds ~
Love you Katie!! thank you
thank you so much Byron Katie, but now, I've want to listen to Bob Marley, hope there's an amazing compilation out there! x love you more and more each time xxxx
If it works for the people then is good and each has his/her way to express their love.
This reflects cognitive therapy some Gestalt and person center all in one.
confio que en corto tiempo todas las entrevistas como trabajos realizados por Katie sean traducidos al español. Gracias.
Brilliantly ❤
I find that existence seems to reside in the summation of collective thought - a universal pool, as it were - as with our thoughts we create the existence and experience around us. Our experiences of existence are of a self-imposed narrative. We tell ourselves that 'things are this way because of that' - when really, what we perceive to be existence, and believe to be factual, is actually just perspective - our own 'take' on things.
There is a reason that we have many of the cliches that we do, that we become tired of - that are obvious - but they are rooted in truth.
If life is a dream and can be dictated to by thought, oughtn't we make those thoughts kind, gentle, compassionate and seeking to promote change for the love of the collective whole...
Everything is one. Great interview 😊❤
Spot on!! love it
Beautiful message
wow-learnt so much in one hour. what a great channel and interview.
Beautiful.
She is amazing. Makes you think about what you've been desperately hanging onto. Is it true?
❤!
i love you byron katie
I have more than I need in any moment wow ❤️
I've been changed forever....
Read Conquest of the Mind by Eknath Easwaran. How many of us have minds that at times have gone wild with anger, fear, sorrow, etc. How many of us are perfectly well balanced and happy. The mind does need to be "trained" and there are ways to do it. Why not make life a bit easier so that we can focus on what is really important...kindness toward our fellow beings.
This was an interesting interview. What a great practice! It appears Byron Katie is attempting to bring up an emotional release.
I enjoyed the interview very much but was surprised what deep feeling came up when the woman at the end of the interview did 'inquiry' with Katie.The question/belief was, "I am not lovable" I could go back and find examples to 'prove' that from childhood-- took some time to really process something I didn't know I believed. How freeing....
I believe in a sense that there is no right or wrong just what is. As a child, I was a so - called loner, contemplating and observing non - stop, considered as strange ( it's still like that :), but have a much deeper insight than the convulsive conventionalist scholar
With its fancy education and classy social status.
Some say that people suffering around the world are most likely suffering due to their karma 'playing out'. Then you hear teachers saying that the greatest gift we can give humanity is our own awakening/doing the inner work. Do you feel that these are just ways of rationalizing / coping with the relative reality?
I have to agree she lives in her soul. Very hard for most of us I understand about 1/4 of what she says because I keep labeling things. In the past I have tried to understand it and could not get past illusion / reality. I still struggle with this knowing it's deeper meaning or should I say have a hard time holding it as a foundation to seeing reality.
Wow, the story about the guy with the gun is incredible--love it. Maybe he did pull the trigger. Who cares? How would she ever know? All she knows is what she knows--what is there to die, indeed?
Great interview

excellent talk...
Very well said, John.
thank you, yes just BE in this moment! thank you.
Mind blowing amazing love it xx
Merci merci merci !!!! :) Gros bisous ! (thank thank thank, kisses for you !)
Thank you , you , we are life. all in one as big picture, I am learning and I have to exercise. No one can be a drive a non automobile vehicle and drink, and talk to his car passenger without exercise! we have to be owner of our mind every moment! thank you again!
wonderful interview !!
Be calm Katie, all is well.
Brilliant. Thank you, thank you. xxxx
this is sooo superb!!!
Thank you 🙏
For a person to say we need not know anything, why do we need her book to tell us this?
There are ideas of people. "You or I" could say
So attempts to dismiss questioning with questions, does not show that one should not question, only that you can take it even further. You've displayed a wonderful thing.
Within the context of people experiencing being people, this can help them, but who is experiencing being people if it's all an illusion. However, within context the piece of consciousness that is expressed through "you" does "know what is being referred to" by "me" I'm sure.
Meaning that even childhood conditioning never happened. There's no way of knowing that there even was a childhood.
Wow
If you "see" someone in front of you in need of help then do what is sensible and at the same time acknowledge that infinity, truth, love, actuality, whatever word you choose is ALL there IS NOW and NOW is eternally NOW.
Inspiring!
love you Katie
"Do you want to go for a walk?" Do i need to think in the future, if i've made other plans? How does this work? How exactly do I choose between yes and no?
amazing
Thanks for asking, I started writing my book a week ago, and hopefully it will be finished before too long. It's going to become the most popular book on the planet so you will surely here about it, but you can go ahead and hit me up again in oh say a month or two or three and maybe it will be published by then. I'm really not so cynical, I just enjoy using sharp and colorful language, and Byron claims to be immune to suffering so I felt okay to rip up some of her statements with the r word :)
I have a solid grip, man. In fact, if you reflect on your own post you will clearly see that you have solidified my point. Thanks!
Ada I would have to say that your definition of "still" may be different from her definition of still.
Indeed, if only more of us were...
you are not separate from the failure you fear embrace it and it will not exist
Good stuff. The english language sometimes falls short, but I like how she used it..
I would like to be in the room when Kim and Eckhart are talking with Byron Katie
made me cry
Sure wish I could find that beautiful world 😞
amen
Byron Katie, that's my girl in God.
In reality, if nothing is truly separate, then the idea of something "going through bad events based on their previous bad actions" isn't so difficult or offensive, when they perceive no true tangible good or bad or any perceiving one or experiencing one in anything but, a dreaming sense.
Many who say this are reciting a belief that explains the world to them, they feel. It is possible that others have a much deeper experience to say such things. In my experience, I do not literally know.
I have problems identifying the underlying thoughts and beliefs, and The Work doesn't really give guidelines on how to... any tips... ? Thks :)
Thank you for the recommendation Bluewren Reilly. So I am not allowed to put views forward. That is a shame whereas others have placed opposite sides and they have not been called crazy but by the sounds of it you have only seen. the first few comments and decided to put in an erudite explanation of my stance. Thanks for your insight.
it is interesting to observe the quality of the information that comes from Byron Katie and the quality of the information that comes from the host, one can observe that he is still speaking from an egoic personality, one can even observe that he is asking and responding and interrupting in a manner that enhances his own sense of self, but his ego is not really that interested in really learning from this woman. very interesting.
Is that true? 😛
Beautiful
Someone should make a movie about her life and the work
40:40-46:00 amazing I shifted
Oh my good god, thank you.
❤
Not what she is saying; you come into state of love - unconditional. You know you are allowing guidance to move through you- and life flows easily. With so much love and care for all. To be in a famly with parents who see you for your True nature - you grow up accepting and loving your Self an others. Why are you afraid of your Self? Best, e
