Review

"This is a book of ideas to spark your own creative thinking process. It will give you an opportunity to see other ways to approach your experience... As you read this book, you may find statements that you don't agree with; they may clash with your own belief systems. That's all right. It's what I call 'stirring up the pot.' You don't have to agree with everything I say. But please examine what you believe and why. This is how you'll grow and change..." - from the Introduction by Louise L. Hay. --This text refers to the Turtleback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Book, May 12, 2005

This review is from: Meditations to Heal Your Life (Paperback)

"This is a book of ideas to spark our own creative thinking process. It gives us an opportunity to see other ways to approach our experiences. We come into this world with such a pure, clear mind, totally connected with our inner wisdom. As we grow, we pick up fears and limitations from the adults around us. By the time we reach adulthood, we have a lot of negative beliefs that we are not even aware of. And, we tend to build our lives and our experiences upon these false beliefs." -from the book

For most of us, change and growth isn't braced willingly. It often takes a health crisis or challenging predicament for us to see how our beliefs and attitudes contribute to stagnation and suffering. Yet, it's possible to gently explore the beliefs we hold and the attitudes we possess, releasing them in exchange for more loving, allowing thought-forms.

At 261 pages, Meditations to Heal Your Life by Louise Hay contains a treasury of gentle wisdom and piercing insights promoting change, growth, and healing. Positioned on two pages, each thematic meditation features a short affirmation and a longer meditation. For example, a meditation about God says:

I choose my own loving concept of God.

One Power created us all.

"I have the power to choose to see things as they really are. I choose to see things as God does, with the eyes of love. Since it is the nature of God to be present everywhere, to be all-powerful and all-knowing, I know that all there really is in this entire Universe is the Love of God. The Love of God surrounds me, indwells me, goes before me and smoothes the way for me. I am a Beloved Child of the Universe, and the Universe lovingly takes care of me now and forevermore. When I need something, I turn to the Power that created me. I ask for what I need, and then I give thanks even before receiving, knowing that it will come to me in the perfect time/space sequence."

A few of the themes addressed in Meditations to Heal Your Life include:

Authority
Bills
Child Abuse
Communication
Decision Making
Dreams
Elder Years
Feeling Lost
Guilt
Headaches
Income
Mourning
Planetary Healing
Releasing Habits
Sexuality
Surgery
Trust
Uniqueness
Violence
Worth

Many more thematic meditations are offered in this book. Tapping into to the loving insights provided by Hay can be done two ways: either you can turn to a page at random, trusting that a particular meditation is exactly what you need at this moment in your life-or, you can look over the index in the front which is alphabetized according to theme, choosing the appropriate meditation.

In addition to the wonderful meditations, there is a Self-Help Resources section at the back of Meditations to Heal Your Life which alphabetically lists dozens of organizations for further assistance in your healing journey-including addresses, phone numbers, websites, and email addresses. Covering topics such as AIDS, Alcohol Abuse, Alzheimer's, Cancer, Crisis Intervention, Co-Dependency, Children with Serious Illnesses, Debts, Grieving, Gambling, Smoking, Sex/Rape Issues, Stress Reduction, Teen Hotlines and much more.

I've used Meditations to Heal Your Life several times over the years, and every time I consult this book, I increase in wisdom, balance, and well-being. I recommend it highly!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic - I cannot recommend this book highly enough, February 18, 2004

By 

Historically Minded (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Meditations to Heal Your Life (Paperback)

Coming fresh from reading "You Can Heal Your Life" by the same author, I bought this book while racing through a bookstore one day. Initially I thought I had made a mistake. Well was'nt I in for a surprise. It is unbelievable, the affirmations are so unbeliably effective. Deep intrasigent problems that I have had for years just melt away with these affirmations that touch me to the core. This is a formidable way in which to be exactly the kind of person you have always wanted to be, and get rid of those blocks that have been holding you back. The affirmations are so finely nuanced, they have enabled me to get to the bottom of some deep problems that have plagued me my whole life. I am shocked at just how effective this book has been for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Support Group Requests That I Bring This Book, April 16, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Meditations to Heal Your Life (Hardcover)

As a professional counselor, I share this special book with a group of cancer survivors. Each week one person volunteers to open the book to a random page and reads Louise's meditation to the group. Everyone agrees that whatever message is opened is the one the group needs for that week. The meditations are powerful and awaken a positive spirit in each of us. They have made a big difference in the "can do" attitude of the group and have become the focus for our best discussions.
