The Work of Byron Katie

The Work is an astonishingly simple process, accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds, and requires nothing more than a pen and paper and an open mind. Through this process, anyone can learn to trace unhappiness to its source and eliminate it there. Katie (as everyone calls her) not only shows us that all the problems in the world originate in our thinking: she gives us the tool to open our minds and set ourselves free.

People who do The Work faithfully report life-changing results.

Eliminate stress: Live without anxiety or fear
Improve relationships: Have a new sense of connection and intimacy with your husband or wife, your parents, your children, and with yourself
Reduce anger: Get angry less often and less intensely, and eventually not at all
Eliminate depression: See perfection in situations that were once debilitating
Clarity: Act more intelligently and effectively
Energy: Experience a new sense of vigor and well-being
Peace: Learn how to love what is, and find lasting inner peace

“Any time you argue with reality you lose, but only 100% of the time.” ~ Byron Katie

The Work is based on four questions and a process called a "turnaround".

The four questions are:

Is it true?
Can you absolutely know that it's true?
How do you react when you believe that thought?
Who would you be without the thought?

“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

The Work can be done either by oneself or with another person. First one identifies a belief or thought related to a topic that causes anxiety or unhappiness. Initially one is encouraged to choose something which feels important, which annoys or troubles you, that someone else does or did: for example "My mother never loved me," or "Tom shouldn't expect me to solve his problems."

One by one, the person doing the Work asks themselves or is asked each of the four questions listed above. If they are doing the Work by themselves, people are asked to write down their response, and if they are doing it with another person they speak their answers aloud.

After the four questions, the thought is literally turned around to its opposite. For example: "My mother never loved me" turns around to "My mother always loved me," Then the person doing The Work sees if they can find ways that this new thought is equally true, or more true, then the original thought.
The turnaround also takes the form of turning the statement around to oneself: "I never loved my mother," or "I never loved me."

Katie summarizes The Work as: "Judge your neighbor, write it down. Ask four questions, turn it around."

Katie has applied this technique to exploring painful beliefs about topics including relationships, parenting, children, illness, death and trauma. She has facilitated the work with audiences in widely varying situations, from ordinary people dealing with financial worries to prison inmates and survivors of armed conflict.

"I often refer to Steve as one of my “Angels” - A gift from the universe bearing a message I needed and was so ready to hear.

I was referred to Steve by Dr. Bruce Hoffman as part of my journey to optimal wellness. I had slid into a major depression, a cycle that my life was very familiar with. Steve’s incredible wisdom, compassion and knowledge helped me to step off of my “treadwheel” of fear, doubt, worry and sadness that could so often run my life.

Steve’s unique, integrative approach combining The Work of Byron Katie and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) provided me with a new way of looking at life. It was thought provoking, soul soothing and simplistic in it's application.

When crisis, sadness, fear, regret, doubt, anger etc. drifts into my life, I am able to use the techniques that he provided to look for and find the absolute perfection and balance in each situation.

I thank Steve wholeheartedly for helping me to see that it is our thoughts unquestioned and the stories we tell ourselves about situations that lead to the pain that we create and we choose to live with.

I truly love this new way of living my life. There is so much more presence, freedom and lightness in my gift of each day."

"I was referred to Steve Harvey through my nutritionist after explaining I was experiencing anxiety when flying. She informed me that Steve practiced a technique called EFT that had worked quite successfully for another client of hers who had flying anxieties.

Our family travels a great deal and although I have never been a great flyer, the past two years I have had full-blown panic attacks (crying and having trouble breathing) both in airports and on planes, which obviously has made travel for me extremely unpleasant.

I had three sessions with Steve prior to a family trip this Christmas. I have to say that I liked Steve immediately. There was something about his nature that made me feel relaxed and totally at ease with him and the process of EFT.

I would have to say I experienced successful results from his work, as I found my time in the airports almost relaxing and although having some anxiety on two of the three flights, was able to successfully eliminate the anxiety by practicing the techniques I had learned."

Sandy, Calgary

"I first came to see Steve for physical reasons. I was experiencing fatigue, insomnia and cold/flu symptoms for longer than I was willing to endure. I received deep and profound healing and insights.

The Ayurvedic treatments seemed to alleviate many of the symptoms as well as assisting my body in releasing old patterns that were no longer serving me. As well, with Steve's gifts for utilizing The Work of Byron Katie and The Demartini Method, I was also able to release old thought patterns that were, in my view, contributing to my physical symptoms. Steve's deep compassion, understanding and intuition were great gifts to me in my healing.

I would highly recommend Steve Harvey."

MaryAnn Hutchings, Calgary

"Dear Steve,

I have thought of you often since being home. I really felt the little time spent with you was wonderful.

I am trying to keep the peace and quiet of Parrot Cay in my heart. I will be doing yoga once a week in a class situation and want to find a Pilates class. Above all I am trying to listen to what is going on within.

It was wonderful to meet you. I really did have a sense of well being following our brief stay at Parrot Cay.

And so my dear Steve, thank you for your kindness, intuition and your caring heart and hands. I do hope that when we return to Parrot Cay you will still be there. I would like to keep in touch."

Best Regards,
Ewa Zebrowski, Montreal
