Louise Hay Spiritual Development Expert

Louise Hay is known as one of the founders of the Self Help movement and is the head of Hay House, a successful publishing company. After an unstable childhood, Hay left home at 15, and eventually moved to New York City and became a fashion model. After her marriage and divorce to a wealthy English businessman, Hay attended meetings at the Church of Religious Science and began training in the Ministerial Program. She became a popular speaker at the church and soon found herself counseling clients.

After several years, Louise compiled a reference guide detailing the mental causes of physical ailments and positive thought patterns for reversing illness and creating health. This compilation was the basis for her best-selling book, "Heal Your Body," which was introduced to people in 30 different countries. She began traveling throughout the United States, lecturing and facilitating workshops on loving ourselves and healing our lives.

Hay had the opportunity in her own life to test her assertions when she was diagnosed with cancer in the 1970s. After developing an intensive program of affirmations, visualization, nutritional cleansing, and psychotherapy, she was completely healed of cancer within six months. In 1985, Louise began her famous support group, “The Hayride,” with six men diagnosed with AIDS. By 1988, the group had grown to a weekly gathering of 800 people.

Getting Started with Louise Hay

Louise Hay’s publishing company, Hay House, has been responsible for spreading Self Improvement and Self Help books far and wide. To fully appreciate Louise Hay, you must appreciate what she has accomplished with Hay House. But her personal contribution to the Self Improvement market is best illustrated by her book, “You Can Heal Your Life”, and this is a great book to get you started.

“You Can Heal Your Life” has been a bestseller for many years and was recently republished with bright, beautiful illustrations. In the book, Hay says that “we don’t have to feel impotent in the face of illness or troubles in our lives, for, by changing our thoughts, we can re-create our future.” At the beginning, she provides some points of her philosophy, such as:

• Every thought we think is creating our future.

• The point of power is always in the present moment.

• The bottom line for everyone is, “I’m not good enough.”

• Resentment, criticism, and guilt are the most damaging patterns.

• We must be willing to begin to learn to love ourselves.

• When we really love ourselves, everything in our life works.

“You Can Heal Your Life” contains insights, exercises, and information to help you grow. With the new illustrations, the book has an almost spiritual or heavenly feel about it

 

Favorite Quotes and Thoughts
from Louise Hay

• See God in every person, place, and thing, and all will be well in your world.

• Love is the great miracle cure. Loving ourselves works miracles in our lives.

• We may not know how to forgive, and we may not want to forgive; but the very fact we say we are willing to forgive begins the healing practice.

• Most people are doing the best they can, given what they know and understand. Including you. If they knew more and were aware of more, they would do things differently

• Remember, you are the only person who thinks in your mind! You are the power and authority in your world.

• If you want to understand your parents more, get them to talk about their own childhoods; and if you listen with compassion, you will learn where their fears and rigid patterns come from.

• Be grateful of what you do have, and you will find that it increases.  I like to bless with love all that is in my life right now – my home, the heat, water, light, telephone, furniture, plumbing, appliances, clothing, transportation, jobs – the money I do have, friends, my ability to see and feel and taste and touch and walk and enjoy this incredible planet.

• If we want love, we must think loving thoughts.
