Wondering what all the fuss is about with this thing called “doing The Work”?
When I first read Loving What Is and tried self-inquiry using Byron Katie’s method….
….I couldn’t really stay on track.
Wait…what’s the next question? How do I do this? What am I supposed to be asking again? What do you mean by stressful belief anyway? I hate that question ‘is it true?’ How the heck would I know?What d’ya mean who would I be without thought? Seriously?
Ha ha!
I could hardly hold still long enough to hold a pen and paper and start writing, let alone sit there and actually DO this thing called The Work.
But that was over ten years ago.
Slowly but surely, with sometimes huge jumps in awareness and a whole new view of the world, other people, and my life….
….I kept being drawn back.
It’s been an incredible and wonderful ride. It has changed my entire world, and my relationship and perception of reality.
But I remember how awkward and confusing it was at the beginning.
So I’m doing a fun new thing, simply for the spirit of sharing and connecting and showing you how other people also have become affected by self-inquiry.
I’m interviewing people, certified facilitators of The Work of Byron Katie (for starters) and practitioners who are change-agents for others……who have personally found joy, awareness, enlightenment and peace through self-inquiry.
I’m recording the interviews, and sharing them with you.
My first guest is Todd Smith, and he is the sweetest!
Our conversation began with a few technical pauses and a discussion of google hangouts, not The Work–all deleted. So it jumps right in at the beginning.
What you get to listen to is our connection in The Work, what Todd learned, how his personal inquiry unfolded, and what it’s like for him now.

I’m keepin’ it simple and chill. I offer these interviews for all of our learning and insight.
Enjoy and let me know in the comments below the video how YOU have been affected by the doing The Work.
I love hearing your story!
Together, we all question, we all end suffering and inner and outer war, we all discover the peace beyond all understanding (in a good way)!
