This is a recording to help you do the work of Byron Katie with the four questions and the turnaround.

Start by writing down a situation that is challenging for you and once you know what you'll be working on,

Start with the first question.

Is it true?

Then move on to the second question.

Can you absolutely know that it's true?

So now we move on to the third question.

How do you feel or what is your experience when you believe this thought?

And then the fourth question.

Who would you be without the thought?

And now we come to my favorite part,

The turnarounds.

The exercise here is to find two or more statements that are opposite to the first one.

Through this simple process,

You can analyze and unwind any fear that has arisen in you by first challenging its assumptions with the first four questions and then seeing it from new perspectives through the turnarounds.

Thank you for listening.
