Guided Meditations with Katie

By: Byron Katie Mitchell

At the School for The Work, each day begins with a meditation. "Meditation is a word for being still and taking some time to notice the kindness and support of reality," Katie says.

These meditations are designed to help you notice your thoughts, even the angry, scary, and sad ones. If you notice any that cause you stress, you are invited to write them down and do "The Work" on them. Each thought is like a little child looking for love, approval, and appreciation.

Critic reviews

"Byron Katie's teachings and everyday life are pure wisdom. Her Work shows us the way to inner peace....I have rarely seen anyone - spiritual teachers included - embody wisdom as powerfully as Katie in her passionate embrace of each and every moment." (Roshi Bernie Glassman)

A meditation that brings stillness and peace.

Centering. Peaceful. I thoroughly enjoyed this meditation. I found myself coming back to peace over and over even with a busy mind.

Wake up Refreshed

When I listen to this meditation right before I go to bed I sleep deeply & wake up relaxed.

It's a beautiful meditation

I love this meditation. There are many levels to it. First it really allowed me to experience support in a whole new way. Next, it is a wonderful way to catch false beliefs and challenge your thoughts.

Wonderful.

Very relaxing, insightful, enlightening, and helpful in untangling anxiety knots. Great for reconditioning the mind into a helpful tool.

Love Katie's mediation!

Thanks audible the quality of this work is wonderful I'm a beginner and I felt connected right away 😊

Best guilted meditation I’ve heard yet.

I have been practicing meditation now for about 2 years and have never had a deeper more enlightened guided meditation. What I loved most was that this meditation works with my thoughts and not just dismiss missing them out of hat. I now know what work I need to do! Thank you Katie!

This is the best!

Katie:s guided meditations, connects me to my inner myself and thus to the universal self.. I am centered in the NOW..

The most effective meditation

Clear, succinct. These meditations are excellent whether you choose to do The Work or not. Profound.

Byron is awesome; the production is awful

Byron shines, as always. I like that this isn't over-produced with spacey music. However, I assume this was recorded with a live audience, as throat-clearing, coaching, and sneezing are in the background. In a way, that's a great test for naming first-generation thoughts and not getting lost in the story of the distraction.

The meditations are not organized in chapters—they are 53 minutes of blended meditations. I can bookmark and note the beginning of each meditation, but I wish the publisher had done that work.

Still, the content is awesome, and Byron's voice is a calming gift to support my practice.

Horrid for Meditation

When you order something for guided meditation the last thing you want to hear is people coughing and sneezing in the background. I cannot believe they published a meditation With disgusting and distracting background noise. Very poor editing to say the least.
