I use this tape at the start and end of my day regularly. On the days that I don't listen, my day just doesn't go as smoothly, and I don't fall asleep as easily. Louise Hay has a very reassuring voice and calm manner. I gave my first copy to my brother,(he is fighting cancer right now) so, I came here to replace it. This tape can be enjoyable and useful to anybody, no matter how deep their interest in meta-physics, new age, or meditation.

If you're at all familiar with Louise you know that her persona is that of a beloved grandmother who is no-nonsense but at the same time kindly, wise and loving. On this tape, she leads you through such exercises as letting go, forgiveness (in one you picture your parents as little children), love (for people you know as well as those you will come across during the day) and gratitude -- yes, even for the bed you're sleeping on! The whole world can benefit from love in Louise's worldview! Everything works better and is more joy-filled when infused with our love and gratitude--and, believe it or not, that includes not only the people in our lives but our appliances! Some people (one of the reviewers on this page, for one) may find such notions strange or disturbing, but try not only blessing your relationships, job, etc., but also your home, car and appliances and see if your life isn't more joyful!

The morning section just wasn't for me. I have to admit it made me laugh. She starts out telling you to thank your bed and your appliances and send them love because they need love, too. I guess I'm not spiritual enough to be able to send love to my refrigerator or bathroom fixtures. I'd rather send my love to living beings or just out into the universe. After she got done with that part, it was better, but it was half pep talk. I'm more used to guided meditation where the narrator stays out of it. Ms. Hays did a little too much explaining - I guess you might say she was a little too maternal for my taste.

The evening section, on the other hand, was quite nice. It was fairly traditional relaxation exercises with some nice thoughts thrown in. Still a little too explanatory for something you might want to participate in actively every day.

Ms. Hay is a prolific author, and I enjoy some of her work -- I find her daily meditations on her website and her 'I can do it' cards great. However, this CD is just odd! I read other reviewer's comments before buying the CD and decided I still wanted to try it. However, on the evening meditation when she told me to picture my father as a small child balling his eyes out I decided I'd had enough. Maybe this is useful for someone who had a horrible childhood to picture a parent small and tiny and in need of love, but her method is just bizarre to me. I'm through listening to this CD.

Last year I began listening to the morning & evening meditations. I found the evening meditation excellent to listen to. It would help me to relax and clear my mind in bed, and allow me to fall into a deep sleep.
The morning meditation on the other hand, didn't do much for me and as a result I don't listen to it very often. I happen to agree with the other reviewers in this regard. The one thing I did take away from the meditation is, how lucky we are living in this century with all the modern conveniences we have, that kings & queens didn't have in the last century. So, even when you are having a crabby day, life's not that bad after all!

What a way to start and end the day then with Louise Hay and her positive affirmations. She is very positive and it rubs off very quickly on who ever listens. I highly recommend this.

This is a really amazing way to start and end your day. Starting with gratitude really gets you off on the right foot, and ending with relaxation and dissolving negative thoughts is great too. If you use this cd, your life will change. My advice is: don't fight it. It's like the turkey pan metaphor she uses. When you first start scrubbing, all the gunk comes up, but if you just keep washing, eventually it will come clean. Peace and blessings.

I taught a class using this material a long time ago. The people who routinely listened began to embrace more loving and positive thoughts in their day to day living. We all laughed and joked about blessing everything. It was a wonderful start. Looking back on this now years later I can only say that embracing what Louise shares will ultimately help people in ways they couldn't calculate. The people in my classes all had cancer, HIV or were dealing with great challenges. The work she does is and always has been doing has helped so many thousands of people.
If you can only buy one. Start with "You can heal your life" Embrace it and you'll open yourself to all good. If you watched "The Secret" and it left you wanting more..Louise Hays material allows you to see the way to the good you desire. G Harte Hollywood Florida Center for Positive Living

I have listened to this for over 20 years now. I highly recommend to everyone. Enjoy better sleep, more energy on waking. A positive way to relax and alter those neg. thoughts the world throws at us all the time.

Love this CD! Every morning and every evening for two years I am listening and meditate with this CD. It's very helpful and useful! I recommended this to my daughters, all my friends and co-workers.
