Byron Katie Presents The Work in a Powerful Weekend Workshop, Loving What Is, in Arlington, VA April 8-9, 2006
Los Angeles, CA (ContentDesk) March 27, 2006 -- Byron Katie, internationally recognized speaker and best-selling author of Loving What Is: Four Questions that Can Change Your Life and I Need Your Love - Is That True? is the creator of a simple, powerful, and practical method of self-inquiry and transformation known as "The Work," which she has introduced to hundreds of thousands of people at lectures and workshops in more than 30 countries. Consistent with leading-edge research in cognitive psychology, The Work has been compared to the Socratic dialogue, Buddhist teachings, and 12-step programs, although Katie developed it without any knowledge of religion or psychology. The Work emerged directly out of Katie's own intense experiences with suffering.After more than a decade of struggling with severe depression, Katie experienced a profound and life-changing realization. She saw that when she believed that something should be different than it is ("My husband should love me more," "My children should appreciate me," "I should have more money,") she suffered, and that when she didn't believe these thoughts, she felt peace. She realized that what had been causing her depression was not the world around her, but the beliefs she had about the world around her.In a sudden flash of insight, Katie awoke from her suffering and saw that her previous attempts to find happiness had been backward, and that instead of hopelessly trying to change the world to match her thoughts about how it should be, she could question these thoughts and, by meeting reality as it is, experience unimaginable freedom and joy.
As a result, a bed-ridden, suicidal woman became filled with love for everything life brings.Time magazine has profiled Katie, calling her "a visionary for the new millennium." In March 2002, Harmony Books published Katie's first book, Loving What Is: Four Questions That Can Change Your Life, co-written with renowned author/translator Stephen Mitchell. Loving What Is has been translated into 20 languages. It reached as high as #21 on Amazon.com. It has also been on best-seller lists at bookstores around the country. Katie's second book, I Need Your Love, Is That True?, was also a bestseller and is fast becoming one of the most popular books on relationships ever written.
Katie travels throughout the world teaching people how to live happier lives by questioning their stressful thoughts using The Work in weekend workshops, evening events and as a keynote speaker at some of the most prestigious spiritual and inspirational conferences with internationally renowned speakers such as Dr. Wayne Dyer. Since 1998, Katie has directed The School for The Work, a nine-day curriculum of powerful exercises offered several times a year in different locations around the world. She also presents The Work to corporations and nonprofit organizations throughout the U.S. The Work applies to people of all walks of life and is currently being used by coaches, therapists, social workers, healing practitioners, and others who work in the mental health field as well as people who work in business, education and church communities.

The Psychological And Psychiatric Aspects Of Cancer
Waiting for a transplantation of body part or a bone-marrow graft, brings things to a sudden realization and has a great impact on mental faculties. The high medical supervision which characterizes the ongoing operations constitutes a series of tests which engage in deep studies to gauge the capacities of physical and psychological resistance of the patients to which these techniques are addressed.
The teams of transplantation scientists gradually took up the practice of joining in with psychiatrists and psychologists, as well to evaluate the feasibility of such a project of care and to try to prevent the various chance mishaps of the type created by behavior or emotions, that would help with specific future grafts and during the most difficult periods of the follow-up.
The unity of the collaboration of the psychiatrists and psychologists extends to further build up the resistance needed by patients being treated for an aggressive cancer or graft and being...

Breast Reductions on the Rise as More Women Choose to Reduce in Order to Increase Their Quality of Life
Despite the national media attention on breast augmentation and breast implants, a different trend can be seen at plastic surgeons' offices all over the nation: an increase in the number of women receiving breast reductions. Over 113,000 women will elect to have their breasts made smaller this year, an increase of 11% from previous years.
While many people may find this information surprising, in truth, overly large breasts can cause serious physical pain. The weight of pendulous breasts causes structural demands on the neck and back that can create chronic pain. Depression and self-consciousness to the point of lowered self-esteem are also commonly documented."Many people don't understand the daily pain endured by women with overly large breasts," said Dr.
Grant Stevens. "Chronic neck, should, and back pain is typical. Headaches are common. Often these women can't participate in high-impact activities like running or most sports." The physical problems are severe enough...
