Product Information

It's about not seeing yourself as a victim but learning from every experience, whether good or bad.

DNF. My Mom is a Huge Louise Hay fan,long before I got into self help and new age books,she was devouring all of them and constantly rereading Mrs Hay. Every author that I love in the genre is published by Hay House and so I think I had profound expectations about Louise Hay's writing when I went into this. I was looking for this same titled book written by Claude Bristol. I could not find it, so I went thru this in about 20 min. I am very very very disappointed with this book/'writer' and cannot seem to understand what people like about it.. I have read many books from New Thought writers, so I am well aware of the philosophy she mentions in the book. She is repeating some words she heard at her science church and repeats words and sentences that she does not understand, nor can explain, which she even admits... At one point she writes she used the om word in her workshop because it works well, but she herself has no understanding about it. OMG! The ancient Indians used the om word which certainly has purpose and spiritual explanation. I find it very unfortunate that some people, typically Americans, go to the East, take something and sell it to the West without any purpose or without the original meaning. The whole book is written without the writer truly understanding the concepts she is talking about. This book is perfect for uneducated people in the field. To be perfectly honest I had never bee into self help books, specially because of their reputation. Anyways, fast forward, 2020 and a global pandemic hits so now I have a book membership I need to use and only about 6-7 available books.Access-restricted-item true Addeddate 2012-07-11 17:09:11 Boxid IA157401 Camera Canon EOS 5D Mark II City Concord, N.S.W. Donor She studied transcendental meditation with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi at his university in Fairfield, Iowa.

In the early 1970's Hay became a Religious Science practitioner. In this role she led people in spoken affirmations meant to cure their illnesses. She also became popular as a workshop leader. I've read many of Louise Hay's books over the years, and find that her warmth and empathy shine through. For me, so much of what she writes makes sense re: the mind-body connection.She moved to Chicago, where she worked in menial jobs, before moving in 1950 to New York. At this point she changed her name and began a career as a fashion model. She was successful at this, working for Bill Blass, Oleg Cassini, and Pauline Trigere. What a book, I cannot love this woman as an author and this book, more. It truly changed my whole life. I listened to it 2.5 years ago at my lowest point, my partner had died a few years earlier and I’d spiralled only ever down. Inside, I was in hell.

The information in this book, which has been a part of my lectures, and new ideas since writing You Can Heal Your Life, is an opportunity to know a little more about yourself and to understand the potential that is your birthright. There's such a beautiful piece in the book where Louise suggests how marvelous it would be if teddy bears were given to all children in hospital. So that when they felt lonely or frightened, they would have a teddy to cuddle and make them feel safe. That was so poignant for me, as I recently had a dear friend have an unexpected hospital stay, and she mentioned how nice it would have been to have a "cuddle buddy" with her when friends and family had gone home. So teddy bears for everyone I say! I feel an important thing to be aware of is that the Power we are all seeking “out there” is also within us and readily available to us to use in positive ways. May this book reveal to you how very powerful you really are. I feel an important thing to be aware of is that the Power we are all seeking "out there" is also within us and readily available to us to use in positive ways. May this book reveal to you how very powerful you really are. I promised myself that I would read it again if I ever got married and so here I am, having listened to it just once more. I trained my mind out of depression, I let go of anger, bitterness and resentment (took months of all day affirmations), I got the job I’d dreamt of as a girl (B777 Pilot), I found the man of my dreams, married him 6 weeks ago and have just fallen pregnant. I feel like I’ve been gifted the secret to life.Around the same time she began leading support groups for people living with H.I.V. or AIDS that she called Hay Rides. These grew from a few people in her living room to hundreds in a large hall in West Hollywood. Her work with AIDS patients drew fame and she was invited to appear on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" and "Donahue" in the same week in March, 1988.
