Bonus Class: The Work of Byron Katie with a Human Design & Gene Keys Twist
What if the thoughts that keep you stuck aren’t even yours? In this interactive workshop, we’ll explore The Work of Byron Katie through the lens of Human Design and Gene Keys, uncovering how limiting beliefs stem from conditioning, shadow frequencies, and Not-Self themes.
You’ll learn how to:
Use the Four Questions to deconstruct mental patterns keeping you out of alignment.
Apply Strategy & Authority to discern truth from conditioning.
Identify how beliefs connect to the shadow states of your Gene Keys.
Transform limiting narratives into clarity, empowerment, and flow.
Through guided exercises and real-time practice, you’ll gain tools to shift from mind-driven decisions to embodied wisdom. Come ready to question everything—and find the freedom to be fully yourself.
The Work of Byron Katie: A Path to Inner Freedom
The Work is a powerful self-inquiry method created by Byron Katie that helps people question and dissolve limiting beliefs, leading to greater clarity, peace, and emotional freedom. At its core, The Work consists of four simple yet profound questions and a process called the "turnaround," which allows you to see a belief from different perspectives.

The Four Questions
When a painful or stressful thought arises, The Work invites you to ask four questions:
1. Is it true?
This question invites you to examine whether the thought you’re believing is absolutely true. Often, we assume our thoughts are factual, but when we look closely, we find they are interpretations, assumptions, or conditioned beliefs.
2. Can I absolutely know that it’s true?
This question deepens the inquiry. It asks if you can be 100% certain that the belief is true in all circumstances, beyond doubt. Most of the time, we realize we cannot be completely sure.
3. How do I react when I believe that thought?
This question helps you observe the emotional, physical, and behavioral impact of the thought. Does it create stress, anxiety, or anger? Does it cause you to shut down or act out? Does it lead to fear-based decisions?
4. Who would I be without that thought?
This is a transformational question. It invites you to imagine yourself in the same situation, but without the stressful belief. How would you feel? How would you behave? This question reveals a more peaceful, empowered, and liberated state of being.

Turnarounds: Flipping the Belief
After answering the four questions, the next step is to explore "turnarounds," which involve shifting the original thought in different directions to gain new perspectives.
Here’s how turnarounds work:
1. Turn the statement to its opposite.
Example: "He doesn’t respect me." → "He does respect me."
This invites you to find evidence for the opposite being true, which can break rigid mental patterns.
2. Turn the statement to yourself.
Example: "He doesn’t respect me." → "I don’t respect myself."
This shifts the focus inward, allowing you to explore how you might be contributing to the situation.
3. Turn the statement to the other person.
Example: "He doesn’t respect me." → "I don’t respect him."
This helps you see if you are mirroring the same energy you believe you’re receiving.
Each turnaround is an opportunity to challenge rigid beliefs, release blame, and access deeper understanding. The key is not to force yourself to believe the turnaround, but to genuinely explore how it could be just as true—or even truer—than the original thought.

Why The Work is So Transformational
By questioning our thoughts, we move out of emotional reactivity and into a space of self-awareness, peace, and choice. Instead of living in automatic responses driven by fear, conditioning, or past wounds, The Work allows us to see reality with greater clarity and make decisions from a place of alignment.
