If You Want To LOVE YOURSELF To The Core, WATCH THIS! | Byron Katie & Jay Shetty

Sometimes a person’s most transformative life experience takes place in the pit of despair while face to face with a cockroach. At least that’s how it was for author Byron Katie. In this episode of On Purpose, Katie shares how to transform your perspective by learning to question your thoughts, not just believe them.
Katie’s contagious passion for life touches everyone who comes in contact with her. You'll learn her inspiring story of finding hope and healing.

[@jayrobertson5512]

Learning to laugh at my silly mistakes instead of getting angry about them has been huge in self acceptance. Also increasing consciousness has been a game changer.

[@Karapayton]

This woman’s work has changed my life and helped me eliminate suffering. I also noticed she has the most beautiful & graceful hands. I have always noticed her eyes but today I noticed her hands.

[@vlr1291]

I love Byron Katie so much. Picking up her book at 18 was one of the greatest choices of my entire life. The Work has been one of my greatest friends and consistently brings me back to myself. I come back to loving what is over and over again, and everytime there’s a new truth.

[@laurenteec]

I tell people all the time “I expect everyone to love me, I just don’t expect them to know it yet 😂” all the time and they look at me so strangely lmao. But it’s never not been true

"Enlightenment is nothing until it is lived" ... The 3 businesses... everything is just God's business... I don't even have to worry about mine, just relax and let God. I have had so many aha moments this week, going thru some challenges with people and I was just able to see it without any of the usual emotions ... doing the work and getting to living it. Thank you.

[@neldadanilevica719]

It clicked in me, I got it what she is saying about making the belief in the trauma moments and building our identity on that. Wauw, such a relief 🎉❤

[@IDOIT_GAMER_2000]

U basically learned to MOVE ON. U became "busy" at that moment noticing the cockroach. U became distracted from your deadly thought stream for a moment. And that experience was tremendously freeing to u. Then your whole being became addicted to that feeling of extreme joy. U never forgot the joy. That changed your life. Congratulations

SHE HELPED MY JOURNEY! I REALLY DID THE WORK.

I love Byron Katie! She is awesome!❤❤❤

[@ceciliagarding4271]

the best way to get rid of anxiety is this well advised tip: The negative energy you build up with negative thoughts- needs to get out of the body- as the Buddhist knows when you do their meditations. First, breath in peace and pick a color that defines peace and let it enter your body through your nose and breath out the pain and anxiety- and see the a dirtier version of that color as an image- then breathe it out in the universe- which means there is no way this can come back into your body- then when you feel relief- be mindful to send this to others who feel the pain too, and end the meditation only when your whole body has become that color and then that color will resemble peace and healing for the rest of your life- and redo redo

[@galkinp]

The master!! Byron Katie!! Xoxoxox Love and gratitude. Once u know The Work, its a tool for a lifetime.

Beautiful woman with lessons for all who want to hear and “ Do the Work” Grateful for you both 💕

[@RebeccaStephens-xn7ye]

8:43 I really love what Byron teaches about processing our thoughts. We are not the beloved: the one. The one and the way is Jesus Christ. Satan has ruined this society, as he has ruined many great societies in the past, by replacing our worship of God for a worship of the self. We can process thoughts all we want, and it does help, but complete healing comes through Christ and his Holy Spirit. ❤️

[@ZeRoCaN31]

You know that aw moment that hits when you learn something new and makes everything make just a little more sense? I get those when I watch/listen to these podcasts and love it! ❤

[@felicitygrace5113]

All the interview was amazing and deep. Due to my current circumstances what resonates strongly is the statement pain is either remembered or anticipated. Im either in the past or in the future. Thanks Byron Katie! 💕

[@mcmaschio]

This is my new favourite Podcast ! I just keep the episodes playing while animating … absolutely Beautiful … excited for this one … Thanks Jay ❤️

[@kayleekrueger8575]

This helped open me up. I feel I've been closed, locked down tight in my heart and my mind for so long. Spinning trying to figure out how to let go, find the right path, release the past and all the trauma. I wrote down all the things that I thought about myself and my situation when my trauma happened. Tonight I will burn that paper and release it into the universe, release it's hold it's had on me. Thank you for putting this out in the universe for people to find. ✨

[@empoweredby_spirit]

Hi Jay, appreciate the way you frame the questions. Powerful

[@radhikaschwartz3499]

Jay is a member of the Hare Krishna Bhakti group. They have so many good things they do but the teachers keep promoting the idea that this material world is a place of suffering and misery and the way out of misery is to purify our selves so much we can ascend after death to a spiritual world. I hope Byron Katie’s teaching will penetrate the Bhakti movement. The world isn’t misery it’s our interpretation of each thing that happens to us that causes misery or joy. When we get what we want we feel happy. When our desires are thwarted we feel unhappy. Rather than trying to get away from our desires or the world .investigating our thoughts brings us into the moment and we can observe and stop the suffering.w her tools

I’m on year twenty. Maybe thirty. I’ve forgotten. I’m good at pretending. I used to pretend to be dead on the cold kitchen tiles and that it was a mortuary slab. My issues aren’t the thoughts it’s the feelings x feeling is the problem. Somatic. On the flip, I love you more than you could know. X

[@gracejasinthpriyadarsini2489]

My favourite speaker Jay genius l love his speech and all his programs very much.

[@karenflowers9611]

I remember not wanting to learn to speak as a child. I was not really interested in reducing my experience to , say a Tree-- reduced to 4 letters. This small change that I use with children is "We call that a tree" or whatever it is. It's one approximation away from full identity as a word capture. That moment ,as I remember, was me feeling swept up in the "adult" world of reducing life into categories/small cells with no key- Still painful to be there. LOVE this work!! After 40 years of other "work" to get back to that child's world of wonder and openness, other things have been effective, however, BK's "The work" has been MOST instrumental in giving up my grudges with others. I finally was able to find the love for my mother which I was unable to find in decades.

[@lustforlow-end6022]

I know just how she feels. There are many nights I’ve gone to sleep & wished to not wake up. Thankfully I’m not as bad as that anymore 👍

Love according to human idea ends up hurting ourself and due to it others..let start honoring our self the life that flows through us...We having giving most of our power to fear ending up craving approval.from othets who are suffering in silence as much or more ....So what is loving our self?!?... proving the world that you fit into its insta/social media reallty? .Feeling UNWORTHY is - imho- what really hurts most of us people, trying to overcome that hurt toprove we are worthy by bowing to the world instead bowing to our own SOUL..

[@jixie_93]

What about trauma in the womb? My sister was dying while my mother carried me and passed away just weeks before I was born...I know this impacted me alot and also impacted my mother's attitude towards me...she rejected me. We never bonded and she had a breakdown shortly after I was born...my body kept the score but I certainly didn't have thoughts about it..I've been suicidal off and on my whole life and I'm now 68 and desperately wanting to heal from a childhood of trauma and rejection...would this work work for me?

I’m so sorry! That is a common experience. My grandmother lost a baby and as a result, was unable to love my mother. My mother suffered because of this her entire life. I would recommend you try Family Constellations. It’s a very powerful process. That is where I learned about how the death of a sibling can cause a mother to neglect her children. Wishing you love and healing.🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼

[@brenonduff753]

I'm sorry to hear this joyceunruh. I was involved in a major hurtful event at age 2, did not find out until age 18. I have been impacted thru out life and am now 69. I can sense what my thoughts probably were at the time. So I used Byron Katie's method and found it profoundly helpful. I pray for you. ❤

[@abigail1783]

I am very much into trauma and how it gets stored in the body. Have you tried with somatic psychotherapy? I was recently told that EMDR works, although I don't have a direct experience of it. You need to love yourself ❤

[@deborahnagel9011]

People proved to me that they don't care when I just finished going thru cancer treatment ,and my hubby got serverly ill and disabled. he's still sick and i still have cancer neither one of us is curable or maybe its because we are not wealthy so cant affordable curable treatments. We were about to be homeless and no one would do anything to help us ..and we are not bad or horrible people we are not drug addict or alcoholics or abusive in any way. Sure hard to keep going. Its a cold world!!My depression is not self inflicted.

I get confused about what our thought was at the time of trauma ..when a child so young could not remember what they were thinking as were just doing what they were told to do ...I love Katie's work and this interview was wonderful ..thanks

[@LeMacMac]

meditation might help, I call it "emotional time travel" when I visit, as an adult self, a powerful scene in the past when me as a kid suffered. I ask the kid questions and imagine what they might have answered. That is the gateway to my past self, at the end of the exercise I end up feeling all my feelings as a kid and from that pain the beliefs I constructed come pouring down. hope that helps
