Anxiety for me comes from the need/belief that I have to do most things right; to get it right or else. Not sure if that came from the religion I was raised in or inadequate parenting I received growing up or a combination of both.
ive drank heavy, some drugs, but mostly alcohol is the one i was addicted to, recognized it since my 20s, i would blackout more & more & toward end of drinking career, i wouldn't even get a warning, just no memory of hours prior to waking. now im not drinking for 1 yr. & been relying on watching/listening to Eckhart Tolle videos & he had mentioned Byron Katie, wow, spot on, becuz tracing an old relapse, back to the anxiety leading up to relapse, then tracing that back to the thinking of thoughts, the voice in my head, ah, ok. each relapse (or an unsane destructive impulse) was/is preceeded by unsane thought(s). & related to Katies work, for those of us who meditate, if u read about Vipassana (a concise, solid book, "Vipassana Meditation, as taught by S.N.Goenka, written by William Hart ") in describing the observation of mind by watching/experiencing all the sensations throughout the body, the author states" every thought that passes thru the mind produces a sensation or sensations somewhere in the body, when we first begin meditating, we may not be aware of the sensations, but with practice, we will be able to detect & observe even the subtlest of sensations caused by a thought." so now, thru pet scans & mri technology, this science of thought to body sensation correlation can be demonstrated. long essay here to say that Katie & Tolle are not messing around.
I don't know how to change my life around... I watch this video and what arises in me is overwhelm and stress. my dream life feels 999-trillion universes away from my reality: - I have minimal work (I live in poverty) - the place I rent is old-old and teeny-teeny tiny-tiny - I have passions and talents that could make me rich, but... - I'm single, have been my whole life, I die for true love - fat and diabetic - old now, no longer attractive - no friends - always a million-trillion stressful things to do...
Wow, that was a powerful exercise!! I know where my feelings of not being good enough began. Now need to know the other questions l should be asking myself about....maybe!?!? 💗💕
my soul is raped guilt and rage eat me alive I am swallowed whole by grief and darkness I'm tired I'm lonely I'm sad I'm panicked I'm full of terror and despair the person whom I once regarded as my best friend, long ago... he raped me on a soul level he was addicted to kratom amongst other things PRAYER: I break every generational curse, every intergenerational trauma put on me and my family, passed, living, and yet to be born. Myself and my family are free from any bondage, blocks, sickness, mental/emotional infirmities, poverty, and anything and everything that is not of God. We live in health, wealth, and love, in Jesus' name. We are under the protection of God and of the Holy Spirit.
Really nice video. Byron Katie is really lovely. 🙌 I've also been really loving quite a lot of Sri Avinash myself at the moment. #SriAvinashMeditation 🙌 Sri Avinash's videos have benefited me so much.
May be they are unconcious of that thought within them. But it is there. as long as you believe that you are this human personality you will have that thought.
you know, i bet people are already several steps(years) ahead of me, but wouldn't it be crazy good if Eckhart Tolle & Byron Katie practices could be taught in prisons? under the umbrella of "freedom of religion" why could not this happen? im sure there are plenty of men & women who have studied their work & are either ex prisoners or teach other courses in prisons who could help make this so?
Anxiety can only be experienced if your thought forms/beliefs are in the past or the present or both. Hope is a seduction that things will/should be different than they are which is the opposite of Byron Katie's "Loving What Is" approach. Dive into her work and the work of Eckhart Tolle the best you can and you will be freed from the jail of your own making. with Love, Jon McIntosh
Patricia anxiety also has a chemical component and the absolute best counter attack is to exercise even though that might be the last thing you ever want to do.It has to be daily and consistent.
Mr Bodhisattva you are a pretentious,sanctimonious twerp.Try shoving the Work at a florid psychotic or a delusional schizophrenic .Of course this is entertainment.At most an aid to a safely ensconced middle class westerner with a bit of self induced existential angst.
I am more often anxious about other people, my kids, my parents, etc., not myself. So, in this moment I guess I am into other people's business and into God's business...
not sure if this will apply to u, but when i have been anxious around people (panic attack level deafening alarm bells going off throughout body) it's still about me cuz the people just triggered what was already there in me, my anxiety was ratcheted up from the i guess stress of NOT WANTING TO PANIC FREEZE LOSE MY VOICE in front of people.
It was, to lots of people. It's hard to connect to it, if you're not doing the work yourself. It's not for entertainment. I've listened to it and have been bored before, but I did give it a shot a couple of times and it was helpful. "The Work" is four basic questions that you analyze - this only showed a bit of the first part of working with someone.
One of the things I dislike about Byron and the groups is this "female" atmosphere - lots of giggling. laughing, everything is sooooo simple........I feel like I am at a "women's conscious" movement meeting
Byron's talks specifically reminded me of Alan Watts', because of that giggling. It's kind of cathartic to the people there, thats why they laugh. Thats what I think.
BK you are an antidote to suffering. Even hearing her voice relaxes me.
Our mind makes us crazy. Thank you dear Katie ! You're a blessing to all human being to make our life better by changing what we thought

Byron is fantastic.
Two queens of shawls together?! This is epic
I don't know how
to change my life around...
I watch this video
and what arises in me
is overwhelm and stress.
my dream life feels
999-trillion universes away
from my reality:
- I have minimal work (I live in poverty)
- the place I rent is old-old and teeny-teeny tiny-tiny
- I have passions and talents that could make me rich, but...
- I'm single, have been my whole life, I die for true love
- fat and diabetic
- old now, no longer attractive
- no friends
- always a million-trillion stressful things to do...
Whatever we think we are we are, our thoughts are not true but if we dont manage to change them they can become our enemy. You can do this🤗
Watch Eckhart Tolle ' s videos and excercise the work you will able to overcome those beliefs. If I can do so you can dear❤
Wow, that was a powerful exercise!! I know where my feelings of not being good enough began. Now need to know the other questions l should be asking myself about....maybe!?!? 💗💕
...where's the rest ? Thanks
Give that "no" room!
my soul is raped
guilt and rage eat me alive
I am swallowed whole
by grief and darkness
I'm tired
I'm lonely
I'm sad
I'm panicked
I'm full of terror and despair
the person whom I once regarded as my best friend, long ago...
he raped me on a soul level
he was addicted to kratom
amongst other things
PRAYER:
I break every generational curse, every intergenerational trauma
put on me and my family, passed, living, and yet to be born.
Myself and my family are free from any bondage, blocks, sickness,
mental/emotional infirmities, poverty,
and anything and everything that is not of God.
We live in health, wealth, and love, in Jesus' name.
We are under the protection of God and of the Holy Spirit.
What if the answer is "yes it's true"?
Really nice video. Byron Katie is really lovely. 🙌
I've also been really loving quite a lot of Sri Avinash myself at the moment. #SriAvinashMeditation 🙌
Sri Avinash's videos have benefited me so much.
Some people raise their hands at 2:09. How's that possible to have never had that thought?
Its not. thats why byron katie laughs
Maybe they are lieing or forgot a time.
May be they are unconcious of that thought within them. But it is there. as long as you believe that you are this human personality you will have that thought.
A psychopath will probably never have thought "I'm not good enough". A narcissist will CLAIM she has never had that thought, to impress people.
Maybe they didn't understand the question!!!!!
you know, i bet people are already several steps(years) ahead of me, but wouldn't it be crazy good if Eckhart Tolle & Byron Katie practices could be taught in prisons? under the umbrella of "freedom of religion" why could not this happen? im sure there are plenty of men & women who have studied their work & are either ex prisoners or teach other courses in prisons who could help make this so?
I wake up anxious everyday about life and living to feel something in my body like hope , get out of depression. any replies ????

Do the work. Katie is not an entertainment, this work is the real thing. Just do it according to the instructions.
Mr Bodhisattva you are a pretentious,sanctimonious twerp.Try shoving the Work at a florid psychotic or a delusional schizophrenic .Of course this is entertainment.At most an aid to a safely ensconced middle class westerner with a bit of self induced existential angst.
You have no idea Suzette, what this work is about. You live in your head. Get out of your own way or go fuck yourself.
I don't know Who is asking?
I am more often anxious about other people, my kids, my parents, etc., not myself. So, in this moment I guess I am into other people's business and into God's business...

You have to take some time out to relax the mind.
I thought it was a bit awkward. No sure about this.
The work is easy and effective i believe but yes, b.k. is not good at these live sessions ...
That used to be true now I'm actually fearing death from MEGA racists.
Zzzzz. Really??? This was worth filming?
You mean, you don't get it?

yes.

glad for more womens spaces :)

Yeah the laugh is a relief after you've learned something that will significantly change your life
😂.
