"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."

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!

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.

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.

I was so impressed by this gift set when I gave it to my daughter who was doing serious healing work on herself, that I bought it for myself. Every page is beauty itself. Splashes of color, flowers, stars. It made me realize how every book should be this way, and I couldn't believe that all my life I've been reading from drab white pages. The test itself is completely empowering and effective as a healing tool. I recommend this set to everyone.

This is a fantastic gift set for either yourself or for someone else. This set is great for anyone that has just started on their own journey of self improvement as the books work extremely well together. Once you have finished with Heal your Life, the Companion book provides great exercises to really anchor in all your new knowledge. The meditation book always seems to fall on just the right page for the day. It has helped me greatly and I am sure it will help others.

Everyone who knows me knows I love affirmations and meditations, as well as the works of Louise L. Hay. In this beautiful collection, Louise shares her meditations and affirmations a in a glorious array of written positive statements.

In Meditations To Heal Your Life, Louise also shares her philosophy on a wide array of different subjects from addictions to fears, as well as spirituality. Her insights read and repeated will enrich your body, mind and soul, while giving you practical knowledge to use in your day to day life.

Begin anywhere in the book open it at will. The message will be perfect for you at the moment. It may confirm what you already believe or it my challenge you. As Louise tells us "it is all part of a growth process." Dip in to 255 pages of readings to apply positive nurturing: an instant gift you can always give yourself.

This and the gift book collection were both recieved by a close family member just diagnosed with metastatic aggressive cancer with much appreciation. She carried it around with her everywhere and read it continuously on the days she was in too much pain to do anything else.
It provided a great deal of comfort and insight.

I have found this meditation book to be extremely refreshing. It always seems to be in line with what I am going through. I especially love that it has a table of contents in the beginning so I can just look up what it is that I am struggling with and flip right to it. The messages are unbelievably accurate. Louise Hay has a profound way of speaking into the lives of others. I work at a halfway house for chemically dependent women who struggle with various life issues on a daily basis. I have many of them coming to me saying, "What does that meditation say about this...", I love that I can help them with her words of wisdom. The other thing that is nice is that the spiritual principles in this meditation can be tied in with whatever your beliefs are. As a Christian, that is something that is very important to me. You will not regret purchasing this meditation.... After experiencing how helpful it was for me I bought another one as a gift for one of my co-workers. You can't go wrong with this one.... enjoy :)

This is a wonderful book! It offers a short summary of words in which to focus for meditation and also a longer bit of insight on each subject that sparks a deeper look into self for answers. Covers many topics easy to find in the index.

Would HIGHLY recommend this excellent collection to anyone truly interested in participating in improving the quality of their life. Well written without the intellectual hype, practical suggestions, clear cut and easy to understand it identifying the patterns, perceptions and thought processes that have helped us create illness/dis-ease in our lives.

Full of positive affirmations to help you correct old patterns. This book will help you change your life and state of emotional/mental/physical health if you are willing to do the work to help yourself.
