In this episode of the Wiggle Room Podcast, you’ll get to hear some work on jealousy. The participant’s partner has close friends of the opposite sex. Listen as she unravels some of the stress for herself by questioning the thought, “He should be open and honest about it.” You may also enjoy the process of choosing the thought to question at the beginning of the recording.

The dialogue in the first part of this episode is taken from one of my weekly Open Sessions. You can be a participant in my weekly Open Sessions to do The Work with me or ask your questions. This is an unedited recording so you can experience The Work of Byron Katie (4 Questions and Turnarounds) with all of its twists, turns, dead ends, unexpected insights.
In the second part of the recording, you’ll hear me reading the newsletter article, Exploring Perfectionism, A Work in Progress. In this article, I write about some ways to do The Work of Byron Katie on the subject of perfectionism. As always, I ad-lib when reading the article, often adding more in the recording.
I also encourage you to subscribe to my newsletter to get new articles like this one each week.
If you prefer video, you can watch the following sections of the podcast in HD video.
If you enjoy listening or watching as participants go through the process of doing The Work, you may find that this form of meditation is a match for you. Doing The Work yourself brings this experience to a whole new level.
