Peace Talk: The Work of Byron Katie with Grace Grace Bell

In today's episode, a wonderful group of inquirers gathers online to do The Work on the concept one person beautifully brought to the table: "he hurt me" (and the belief he will hurt me again).
To investigate being hurt and feeling the effects of pain when it comes to other peoples' words, behaviors, conduct, facial movements....can bring amazing insights.
The Work of Byron Katie is a practice of self-inquiry allowing us to work with stresses appearing in the mind, and to relax with our experience of life.
Grace Bell, facilitator of The Work, assists people to identify and question their stressful ways of looking at life. She offers Year of Inquiry, a vibrant membership community of inquirers Sept-June each year.
Grace also has a special love for those suffering from eating issues including disordered eating (disordered thinking) of all kinds--having suffered from this behavior and thought/feeling process herself and finding an unshakable peace within around eating, food, health and behaviors with eating.
Grace works with all kinds of compulsions, habits and addictions as they are all the same thing: a pull to some behavior, substance or activity in order to help us with our stressful feelings and thoughts. As Byron Katie offers us (founder of The Work); when we believe what we think, it creates unnecessary suffering.
When we question what we think, we feel lighter and less serious about what is. We even begin to laugh. We notice who we really are is peaceful already, a human being living life as best we can--learning, growing, loving. In the public sessions on this youtube channel, we have all-group inquiry sessions called First Friday Inquiry, we have interviews with practitioners of The Work, we have Eating Peace videos (on the eating peace playlist) and we have individual sessions in The Work by courageous people willing to be recorded for Peace Talk podcast and this channel.
Thanks to everyone involved in what is shared here on this channel, as it is great service to others in the world who find their way here and who are curious about life without "believing" thought all the time.

In today's episode, a wonderful group of inquirers gathers online to do The Work on the concept that someone really needs to change, for us to be happen. "If only they were different" we say.
It's profound to do The Work on this, and find our freedom from needing someone else to change. We are no longer dependent on the world to be different, for us to be happy.

Dr. Amy Johnson is author of several books including "The Little Book of Big Change". Her work focuses on the nature of thought, and making friends with it. Just like we do when we practice The Work of Byron Katie (especially question four; who are you without your story?).
Amy offers a 6 week school twice a year called the Little School of Big Change where people can gain understanding and insight into their thinking, behaviors, and emotions--especially when it comes to unwanted habits.

We've all anticipated something and noticed change, and thought--depending on the situation--that what's happening is dangerous. We dread the future, we're so worried. 
Listen as a woman questions her story about what caring is supposed to look like, what love means, and what she's really responsible for, as she navigates change observed in her husband of many years.

We all have stories about needs. What if they were fun, joyful stories...instead of the never-ending story called "not enough"?
Who would we be without the stress of the belief "I need....."?

Today's episode is a gathering of people together on zoom. One inquirer brings to the session her thoughts about eating when not hungry last night. When we have images in our minds of ways life could be better, even in the moment of reaching for food, just like this inquirer notices....we have all kinds of other thoughts about needing to understand what's underway, to stop that behavior, to fix this situation.
Who would we be without our stories of improvement, even self-improvement, at all? Who are we, even when we have images of pleasure to move towards?
