Byron Katie: Loving What Is

••• The Process •••

The procedure involves stating or writing down a belief you hold and then asking yourself four simple questions:

1. Is it True?

2. Can you absolutely know that it’s true?

3. How do you react, what happens when you believe that thought?

4. Who would you be without that thought?

Next, turn the belief around and assume the viewpoint that you do not hold that belief, and find 3 examples of how each turnaround is true in your life.

Try that on for size. See what it feels like. Honest inspection of beliefs in this way may often result in relief from stress and discomfort.
