You Can Heal Your Life

This boxed set of four CDs is an excellent way of integrating the thoughts and beliefs of Louise Hay. The CDs contain the text of the book of the same name, with the exception of the chapter that lists diseases and ailments and the nature of their cause. Actually hearing the voice of Louise Hay does help in accessing the ideas as she knows where to stress certain points and how to impress upon the hearer the most salient points.

The basis of Hay’s philosophy is that we have control over our lives in general, and over our condition of health in particular. She believes that the roots of our illnesses lie within our life experience. Knowing what they mean can enable us to deal with them effectively. Hay should know. She was able to turn her life around completely and recover from a serious illness by changing the way she thought about her illness.

When I first read Hay’s book some years ago I was not convinced. I was told that her work was a good starting point in understanding the nature of our ill-health. Now I think differently. I believe that she has found something really meaningful. I do believe that we control our own state of health by our experiences and our beliefs. Knowing how to respond to our past is what her thesis is about, in its practical application.

Those interested in healing, those searching for help in coming to terms with their own state of health, and those fascinated by current spiritual thinking will find this CD set absorbing. I heartily recommend it.

The premise behind this wonderful book, is that by changing your thought processes your life will change. The beauty of Hays writing is that she openly acknowledges that it is not an easy task to change a life long mindset and way of approaching the world. Yet she is ever encouraging, like a favourite aunt, egging you on, reinforcing that you can do it, and this is she does in a gentle, straightforward and accessible way. It is packed with anecdotes from clients and her own life and affirmations aplenty to put positivity back into your life should you need it.

As a bonus, there is, tucked away at the back of the book, an up to date list from her original book "Heal your Life", which shows the correlation between diseases and ailments and unhealthy/negative thought patterns that cause them, with affirmations to undo the damage. There really isn't much I can say about this book without sounding as if I am going into "gush over drive". It is beautiful and delightful to read, it is spiritually uplifting, it is empowering and it is currently amongst the tottering pile of books by my bed, as I love to dip into it.
