Tiny Revolutions №76: Poking Holes in Our Stories

The Work consists of four questions you can ask yourself when you are troubled by a certain thought. 1) Is it true?

2) Can I absolutely know it's true? 3) How do I react when I believe this thought? 4) Who would I be without the thought?

Katie’s work, and the practice of meditation, are about the practice of waking up to reality. Of choosing to look beyond the (often insidious) stories in our head that keep us miserable and stuck, and to focus on what is true so that we can be open to whatever our actual experience entails. Nothing else. This is how you set yourself free.

Great spiritual texts describe the what — what it means to be free. The Work is the how.
