If you haven't seen Hay House's Lifestyles series of gorgeous gift books, there is no better way to acquaint yourself than with publisher/author Louise Hay's You Can Heal Your Life. A bestseller for many years, You Can Heal Your Life has been republished with bright, beautiful illustrations in full, living color and exquisite typography--each and every page is a work of art by artist Joan Perrin Falquet. The timeless message of the book is that we are each responsible for our own reality and "dis-ease." Hay believes we make ourselves ill by having thoughts of self-hatred. She includes a directory of ailments and emotional causes for each with a corresponding affirmation to help overcome the illness. For example, the probable cause of multiple sclerosis is "mental hardness, hard-heartedness, iron will, and inflexibility." The healing "thought pattern" would be: "By choosing loving, joyous thoughts, I created a loving joyous world. I am safe and free." --P. Randall Cohan
Product Description
Louise L.. Hay, bestselling author of You Can Heal You Life, ISBN: 0937611018; is an internationally known leader in the self-help field. Her key message is: "If we are willing to do the mental work, almost anything can be healed." The author has a great deal of experience and firsthand information to share about healing, including how she cured herself after being diagnosed with cancer.
An excerpt from You Can Heal Your Life:
Life Is Really Very Simple. What We Give Out, We Get Back
What we think about ourselves becomes the truth for us. I believe that everyone, myself included, is responsible for everything in our lives, the best and the worst. Every thought we think is creating our future. Each one of us creates our experiences by our thoughts and our feelings. The thoughts we think and the words we speak create our experiences.

 Such an inspiration July 23, 2008
Although I looked at this book from a skeptic perspective because of all the ideas of our thoughts creating our reality, etc, I could not help but be inspired by Louise. She seems to just basically live a simple life and find happiness within herself, and always emphasizes that we can also be like this, and everyone deserves to be loved for the person that they are. I am definitely going to try some of her tips.
Some of the ideas about diseases being caused by negative thinking were a little hard to swallow. For instance, cancer and other ailments are supposed to be caused by all these pent up feelings and unforgiveness that we have bottled up...it is just a little hard for me to understand how a newborn could be born with a disease or a small child could get a disease. It's possible that there is more to it though than what is discussed in the book. I definitely think you should give some of her ideas a try, because just hearing Louise or reading her words and seeing what a difference she has made in people's lives is enough to show that she must be doing something right.
 Wonderful book July 17, 2008

I obviously have a different view of Western Medicine than the major rebuttal against Ms. Hay's book. Several years ago, I was diagnosed with cancer and given less than six months to live. When I walked out the door of my Dr. office, I never looked back, nor did I ever return for further treatment. As I write these words several years after the fact (and in good health) my decision was to walk away from Western Medicine, and the hegemony it asserts over our lives.
Afterword, I embarked on another journey by accepting responsibility for my own healing. I travelled to remote corners of the world and worked with indigenous healers, sages, and holy men and women; I began to explore the mystery of spiritual healing that Ms. Hay advocates on behalf of.
At the point I walked away from the Western 'box' so common in our contemporary moment, I also walked away from my fear based belief system. Death will eventually come for all of us. None of us will escape it. It is also nothing to fear as we are eternal beings.
The main rebuttal against this book is mired not only in the fear of death, but also of the fear of a fully embodied life. It fears responsibility for the underlying causes of disease. It fears change, and it fears transformational outcomes. Its primary belief is that health is the sole domain of medical science, and that our life choices do not contribute to our condition.
Now, here is a secret the medical establishment wants kept under wraps, but with indigenous healers, and spiritual healers (or spiritual knowledge that leads to healing) is that healing is an inside job. Once a healing is introduced, the subject has to also change the life style choices that led to the health dysfunction; if the subject returns to the old habits, the condition will return too. Spiritual healing does not offer a magic bullet, it provides another chance to change. The change is up to the person undergoing the problem. If the courage to change is weakened, so to will the healing be reversed or rendered illegitimate.
The aim of spiritual healing is to transform the underlying causes. And the only savior you will find in this process is oneself. This is the prime focus of Hay's work.
In the final analysis, only you can decide which direction to go. No one can do it for you. The only one you can save is yourself!
Be open to what Louise Hay has to offer July 17, 2008
I just finished YOU CAN HEAL YOUR LIFE by Louise Hay and would recommend that you
get the print version, if just to see the beautiful work of artist
Joan Perrin Falquet . . . it will increase you enjoyment of this
bestselling self-help book that was written many years before
THE SECRET became such a success.
One other recommendation: Skim the book first . . . then read
the chapter, toward the end, where Hay tells her life story . . . it
will put things in perspective and show you that she really
puts into practice what she writes about ; e.g., in this passage:
* We need to choose to release the past and forgive everyone, ourselves
included. We may not know how to forgive, and we may not want to forgive,
but the very fact that we say we are willing to forgive begins the healing
process. It is imperative for our own healing that "we" release the past
and forgive everyone.
I found myself reading and agreeing with just about everything
the author wrote . . . but perhaps my favorite part was her list
of ailments and the emotional causes for each, along with an
affirmation to help overcome the illness . . . she recommends
you follow this four-step approach whenever you have a physical
problem:
* 1. Look up the mental cause. See if this could be true for you. If not,
sit quietly and ask yourself, "What could be the thoughts in me that
created this?"
2. Repeat to yourself, "I am willing to release the pattern in my
consciousness that has created this condition."
3. Repeat the new thought pattern to yourself several times.
4. Assume that you are already in the process of healing.
Whenever you think of the condition, repeat the steps.
So, for instance, when it comes to multiple sclerosis:
* The probable cause is "mental hardness, hard-heartedness,
iron will, and inflexibility." The healing "thought pattern" would
involve saying this aloud: "By choosing loving, joyous thoughts,
I create a loving joyous world. I am safe and fee."
The concept may seem far-fetched to some, yet if you are
ready to accept what Louise Hay has to offer, it may well
work for you. Do give it a try.
