9/22/2006 Louise Hay - AuthorLouise Hay is a writer of what many people term as self-help books. I prefer to call them "becoming conscious" books. I have started a new List. It will include books I have read for enjoyment and those that have helped me along in my journey. Her's is the first book I've added.
I want to share with you a page from her book.

Some Points of My Philosophy
You are each responsible for all of your experiences.
Every thought we think is creating our future.
The point of power is always in the present moment.
Everyone suffers from self-hatred and guilt.
The bottom line for everyone is, "I'm not good enough."
It's only a thought, and a thought can be changed.
Resentment, criticism, and guilt are the most damaging patterns.
Releasing resentment will dissolve even cancer.
When we really love ourselves, everything in our life works.
We must release the past and forgive everyone.
We must be willing to begin to learn to love ourselves.
Self-approval and self-acceptance in the now are the keys to positive changes.
We create every so-called "illness" in our body.

Her book goes on to explain all of those statements.
Now, I know a lot of people will have trouble with some of those, especially the last one. I did, and still do. But, in reading the book many times, I have come to believe it.
With major illnesses, such as cancer and the dystrophies, etc. I don't have the words to explain her last statement. It would take someone much farther along in their journey than I am.
But, I will explain with a more minor example. A member of my extended family (I'll call her Jane) was diagnosed with scoliosis when she was 12 or so. She wore the brace for a year or two but has continued to have back problems all her life. She is now 24. All of her life, also, she has taken care of her mother and two younger siblings. Her mother had Jane when she was very young and has never acted as a mother. When Jane was barely older than a toddler herself, she was changing diapers, feeding and cleaning up after her siblings. She has always been their mother, even to her own mother. She took on a very heavy role and has the weight of her whole family on her shoulders. Is it any wonder she had and has back problems? She came to realize that herself and said it to me the last time she visited. She has just begun her journey.
Now, I don't expect everyone to believe this, or to make instant "converts". It has taken me over 10 years to get to this point. Also, my healer has said that it's easier to prevent an illness than cure one, such as cancer and of course that is true. So, if we change our way of thinking about ourselves now, we may prevent future minor and serious illnesses. Thus, the book is invaluable to me.
As always, take what works for you and leave the rest!!
Love, Light, and Laughter,
