Nina Lynch

Nina Lynch
Based in the USA
English, German, Japanese

I grew up believing that life was hard and full of suffering. I looked for peace in meditation, gurus, religion and sex. Occasionally I stumbled into heaven, and could never figure out why it was so fleeting.

My search took me to many corners of the earth, to a bamboo hut in India, meditating and serving daily in an ashram, taking care of the sick and dying, teaching adults and children in England and Japan, cleaning houses, shoveling snow, studying theatre and psychology, working as a therapist and more recently meeting the family of the world and serving them in the air as a flight attendant. Now I offer individual sessions and workshops of the Work in this country and overseas.

With the 4 questions and turnarounds I see that I can choose heaven or hell. It is only my thoughts that keep me from loving myself and you.

My experience includes death and dying, suicide, despair, depression, gurus, sexual abuse, relationships, poverty and the pain of believing that I don't belong anywhere in this world.

I do most sessions on the phone or on Skype, and when possible in person. Using the phone and Skype enables me to work with you wherever you are in the world. It would be my privilege to work with you.

The Work in Action


"I'm too fat"

-------

“A spiritual innovator for
the new millennium.”
TIME

-------

“Katie's laser-like tough love burns away all illusions.”
The Times of London

-------

“Byron Katie’s Work is a great blessing for our planet. The root cause of suffering is identification with our thoughts, the ‘stories’ that are continuously running through our minds. The Work acts like a razor-sharp sword that cuts through that illusion and enables you to know for yourself the timeless essence of your being.
Joy, peace, and love emanate from it as your natural state.”
Eckhart Tolle
author, The Power of Now

-------

“Byron Katie is one of the truly great and inspiring
teachers of our time.
She has been enormously
helpful to me personally.
I love this very wise woman.”
Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
author, Inspiration

-------

In a letter from Helsinki, Finland, J.V. writes:
"...two groundbreaking Stanford University pain syndrome experts consider Byron Katie's approach the best form of Cognitive Therapy. In the new revised 5th Edition of A Headache in the Pelvis (pp. 326–330), which came out in May 2008, Stanford psychologist David Wise, Ph.D., and neurologist Rodney Anderson, M.D., refer to Albert Ellis' Rational-Emotive Therapy and Aaron Beck's Cognitive Therapy and then write (in their italics)
: 'The best form of Cognitive Therapy, in our opinion, is offered in The Work of Byron Katie, who provides an approach to disarming catastrophic thinking by means of a process that one can do oneself. This is the approach that we recommend.' They then describe the procedure, adding: 'Our description of this process is rarely sufficient to become proficient at it. We discuss this method in our monthly 6-day clinics. Information specifically about this cognitive therapy work can be found at www.thework.com and in the books of Byron Katie." Wise and Anderson are practical, in-the-trenches therapists who work daily with severe pelvic pain and other chronic syndromes. They recommended Byron Katie's method already in the 4th edition of the book
(pp. 298–301).'

-------

“Byron Katie's teachings
and everyday life
are pure wisdom.
Her Work shows us
the way to inner peace,
and she directs us there,
fearlessly, relentlessly, and
with utmost generosity.
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

-------

“Katie’s Work is a
wonderful, transformative practice for anyone interested in spiritual growth.”
Lama Surya Das
author, Awakening the Buddha Within

-------

“Good Lord! Where did Byron Katie come from? She’s the real McCoy. Her Work is amazingly effective—a simple, straightforward antidote to the suffering we unnecessarily create for ourselves. She asks us to believe nothing, but provides a surprisingly effective and simple way to cut through the tangle of delusions we wrap ourselves in.”
David Chadwick
author, Crooked Cucumber: The Life and Zen Teaching of Shunryu Suzuki

-------

“Suppose you could find a simple way to embrace your life with joy, stop arguing with reality, and achieve serenity in the midst of chaos. That is what Loving What Is offers. It is no less than a revolutionary way to live your life. The question is: are we brave enough to accept it?”
Erica Jong
