Subject: Have you ever heard of Louise L. Hay?

Hello all,
I am not very often here anymore, but I lurk sometimes. Spirituality became sort of normal in my life, but I didnt use it on a regular basis. Ha! You cannot keep it out of your life. When you found it, it demands a place in your life one way or the other.

This is how its coming back in my life:

I apologize right now, because I'm going to be long *g*, but I think some of you may find this interesting.

Well, I've got the book "Heal your body" by L. L. Hay from Antje. Hay says that for every sickness, illness there is a mental reason. And she gets rid of the sickness with a new affirmation. For example I have problems with my knees at the moment. I had moments I hardly could walk. One reason could be that I cant bend my self, or not bend enough. The new affirmation could be: I bend myself to the flow easily.

I bought the book for myself as there were other things where I thought I better have this tiny book close by. And I bought another book "You can heal your life".
We all talk about creation in our life and that we create what is around us. And that we live in/with the flow of the Universe. So did I, but honestly, when there was a discussion about how we create the situations in our life (which I somehow always believed is right!) I had no idea how we resp. I would ever do that.

Hay opens a new world to me. Her way to explain exactly this is something I absolutely understand.
Actually she says that before you act or react you think. And this is the actual dilemma. No, not that we think but what we think!
Depending on what truth we learned as children it reflects our later life. Her main statement is that you have to love yourself the way you are. Only if you truly accept yourself for what you are, if you truly believe that whatever you do is best in the Universe and in your life, only then everything will be all right in your life. Okay that is the poor attempt to bring it down in 2 or 3 sentences, which is not working. But I'm really impressed, as I just recently embraced spirituality completely. I got one step ahead from halfhearted to full hearted (can you say that? :-)

I just started the book, but I know for sure right now that the reasons I have in relationships is that I never felt loved by my mother, and I always thought "I am not lovable". This is really deeply settled, but Hay also says "Yesterday is yesterday and today is today. What you thought yesterday doesnt have to be the truth today!" "There is but one person in your head that thinks - You!" "Stop blaming others for whats happening in your life. Its you who thinks and you who acts/reacts." "If you really want to change, then say it out loud. And if you dont know how to start to change, trust the Universe to find a way and take care of you."
And this is what I'm going to do now :-). I gave over to the Universe. I am willing to change and I am willing to forgive, though I do not know how to at the moment. But I trust the Universe to find a way for me.

May you too can let the Universe take care of you!

[> Wow, Andrea, that's great!!! I'm so glad to hear that you found your way to Louise's books!! I remember us talking about them a looooong time ago. Well, you really notice things only if (and when) you need them (just ask Ellen, haha!). Oh, and this forgiving thing is in fact the best healer of all. If only it was a little easier! My ego is constantly getting into the way :-). Big hugs to you! -- Ellen, 17:58:00 05/14/04 Fri

[> [> ( ( ( Ellen ) ) ) Did we really talk about them? I can absolutely NOT remember it *g*. I know exactly what you mean about your ego getting in the way with forgiving *sigh*, thats why I dont even bother to try to forgive. I say "I am willing to forgive." That is absolutely true! I Just have no idea how to. Well, let the Universe do something too, no? *g* -- Andrea, 07:13:03 05/15/04 Sat

[> [> [> ((((Andrea)))) I'm so glad you found Louise Hay too! Louise Hay's books put into words, in my eyes, how to think about the root causes of illnesses and ailments. L. Hay and Carolyn Myss (Anatomy of the Spirit) have become like "must reads" - sometimes the 'cause' or affirmation may feel a bit 'off' but it helps lead you to the reason that works for you...hehe check out the 'possible cause' for migraines *whistles innocently* -- love, Viive, 09:18:50 05/15/04 Sat

[> [> [> [> Ah Viive, it seems like soo long ago that we went to see Carolyn Myss talk and have her sign our books. Just love her work. Andrea and Ellen!!!!! It's so good to see you again. -- Keira, 21:36:51 05/15/04 Sat

[> [> [> [> [> HAHAHA Keira, seems as I am wayyyyy behind. But as Ellen said you only notice things when you are in need for them. No, thats not true when you are ready for them is better. -- Andrea, 05:29:13 05/16/04 Sun

[> I have read How to Heal Your Life, and found it very informative and helpful. Louise also has tapes that are very good as well. I have her tapes on loving yourself, forgiveness, and positive affirmations. These are great to listen to as you're drifting off to sleep at night. -- Roberta, 15:02:03 05/18/04 Tue

[> [> Bert? Is this you Bert? How are ya girl??? You know I missed you a lot at the chatathon, if this is the Roberta from Canada :-) How is your new doggy? -- Andrea from Frankfurt, Germany, 15:12:43 05/18/04 Tue

[> [> [> Hi Andrea, yup, it's me! The new doggie (Misty) is doing well, but border collies have a load of energy, so she's been keeping me very busy and away from chats. I was sorry to have missed you at the marathon too. Maybe a catch up email is in order eh? Still got my addy?? -- Roberta, 15:37:36 05/18/04 Tue

[> ;) wow, still on the same post ... i just wanted to add that Hay House Publishing has an excellent choice of books; all by like-minded people. http://www.hayhouse.com/index.php -- Viive, 15:52:48 05/23/04 Sun

[> [> LOL now I notice that at the top of my VoyForums page is a little clicket ad for Louise Hay's publishing company, Hay House...is that new? -- Viive, 19:58:11 05/27/04 Thu


[ Edit | View ]

[> [> [> The little clickette at the top keeps changing. The theory is that the content of the board is somehow monitored and the clickette at the top will change accordingly. -- Roberta, 10:50:30 05/28/04 Fri
