About the author
Louise L. Hay
624 books2,880 followersLouise Hay was born to a poor mother who married Hay's violent stepfather. When she was about five, she was raped by a neighbor. At fifteen she dropped out of high school without a diploma, became pregnant, and on her sixteenth birthday gave up her newborn baby girl for adoption.
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.
In 1954, she married Andrew Hay, but after fourteen years of marriage Louise was devastated when Andrew left her for another woman.
Hay said that she found the First Church of Religious Science on 48th Street, which taught the transformative power of thought. Hay revealed that here she studied the metaphysical works of authors like Florence Scovel Shinn and the Religious Science founder Ernest Holmes.
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.
She studied transcendental meditation with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi at his university in Fairfield, Iowa.
In 1977 or 1978 she found she had cervical cancer, and she concluded that its cause was her unwillingness to let go of resentment over her childhood abuse and rape. She refused medical treatment, and began a regimen of forgiveness, therapy, reflexology, nutrition, and occasional enemas, and claims she rid herself of the cancer. She declared that there is no doctor left who can confirm this story, but swore that it is true.
In 1976 Hay wrote a small pamphlet, which came to be called "Heal Your Body." This pamphlet was enlarged and extended into her book You Can Heal Your Life, which was published in 1984. As of February 2008, it is still on the New York Times best sellers list.
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.
You Can Heal Your Life immediately landed on the New York Times Best Sellers List. More than 35 million copies are now in print around the world in more than 30 languages and has been made into a movie.
Louise Hay established Hay House Publishing. It is the primary publisher of books and audio books by Deepak Chopra and Doreen Virtue, as well as many books by Wayne Dyer.
In addition to running her publishing company, Hay runs a charitable organization called Hay Foundation that was established in 1985.

Un audio livre à lire avant de dormire. j'aime bcp surtout avec la voix feminine et la musique douce.
Je le consire comme un livre educatif puisqu'il nous enseigne comment développer l'amour en soi. J'ai vraiment besoin d'appliquer ses conseils.
كتاب يعملك حب الذات. أحب مثل هذه المواضيع وأنا بحاجة لتطبيق النصائح
الكتاب تربوي أكثر من أن يكون تنمية ذاتية. أعجبني مع صوت القارئة والموسيقى الهادئة
سأسمع الكثير من الكتب الفرنسية لـ لويز هاي، من جهة أطور لغتي الفرنسية ومن جهة ثانية أسترخي قبل النوم ، رغم أني أنام غالبًا ولا أنهي الكتاب وأعيد قراءته صوتيًا في اليوم الموالي حتى أحفظه ههههه بسبب التكرار

Great Reminders!

Lovely reminder of Louise’s teachings in a simplistic list. Beautiful meditation at the end.

It's an audiobook, only 22 minutes long, so I listened to it twice. There's a super cheesy song related to money/prosperity in it, but the second time it played I realized the importance of my subconscious mind hearing it. It's really catchy, but again super cheesy lol.
My two favourite statements were:
"Everything I need to know is revealed to me."
"Everything I need comes to me in the perfect time-space sequence."
I gave 4 stars because I wouldn't say the title is entirely accurate given the content. But it's still a worthwhile and important listen.

I needed something to help me focus at work the other day (and now) so I plugged this one in on Audible. It was such a lovely book and the author was such a beautiful soul, may she rest in peace. As a single mother, I'm hyper critical of myself and this book certainly gave you some great tips to be kinder to yourself. I highly recommend almost anything by Louise Hay, although, I've never made it through all of her books.

LOVED this book. It really resonated with me and has a lot of practical advice. I've heard a lot about doing affirmations but never really gave it much thought.
I look forward to creating some affirmations and seeing how they work for me in the future. :)
