This is a core belief in ATP: Each person has the Source within. Each person is a sacred and precious expression of Oneness, the unified field of true nature.

Byron Katie
Meet Your Internal Wisdom
The Work is meditation. It is a method of inquiry born directly out of Byron Katie’s experience. A Simple yet powerful practice allows you to access the wisdom that always exists within you.
As we do The Work of Byron Katie, not only do we remain alert to our stressful thoughts—the ones that cause all the anger, sadness, and frustration in our world—but we question them, and through that questioning the thoughts lose their power over us.

THE ULTIMATE RELATIONSHIP GUIDE
Imagine you’ve just bought a brand new car. It’s the car of your dreams, the one you’ve spent so many years dreaming of and wishing for, and you finally bought it. You leave it in the parking lot to go to work and when you get back, you find a scratch. How do you react?
Maybe you’re jumping and screaming, pulling your hair out, absolutely enraged that someone had the audacity to scratch your car. You do some research and find that you can carefully buff out the scratch if you take the time and effort to do it. So you clean the surface where the scratch is, polish the area, then clean again with an expensive solvent to remove waxes and oils before painstakingly applying the paint.
A week or two passes by, and you leave the car parked in the grocery store lot while you go inside. You come out and what do you find? A dent on your rear bumper. Now you’re really riled up. Your brand new car, the one you’ve just spent what seems like an eternity to repair a scratch on, has a DENT.
This time you go to a professional to fix the problem. It takes a few days and a lot of money, but the dent is almost invisible now. Another close call!
But what happens by the time you get your sixth or seventh scratch? You don’t bother to buff out those scratches anymore, and you can’t just take the car in for body work every time there’s a tiny ding. You start to let it go and, at some point, you stop caring. Who cares if the car has a scratch? It has six other ones already. Right?
What if we stop talking about your car and start talking about your relationship in this scenario? What if instead of an owner’s manual, you need a relationship guide?
