You have the power within you to help create the kind of world we want all of us to live in. ~Louise L. Hay

Louise L. Hay has a comforting voice which tends to take you away from any stressful environment. She provides a space where you can feel relaxed, safe and peaceful. She is a metaphysical lecturer and teacher and her books have been translated into 29 different language.

In "Overcoming Fears," Louise invites us all to explore our inner worlds and asks us to imagine ourselves in various life stages where we felt safe and happy and loved without fear. Through this meditation, you visualize the way your world could be and the way you want it to be. Self-esteem, safety, security and the power of thought are all discussed in a meditative way.

The focus of "Overcoming Fear" is visualization and by changing the way you think about your life, you can actually start to become a more powerful force in your own life. Even after listening to this CD once, I found myself awakening the next day with much more positive thoughts.

While this meditation does not draw on any particular religion, there are a few items people of various faiths will need to consider on their own. By imagining the world as a more peaceful place, you can in fact start to make the world more peaceful through your own positive actions.

If you find this CD to be inspirational and healing, you may also want to find the givingloveaway.com CD which is a beautiful spoken-word gift to the world. This CD might also inspire you to give a donation to World Vision or to reach out to your own community.

I listened to this CD twice last night and woke up feeling healed, refreshed and much more rested than I had in weeks. My first thoughts were quickly replaced by more positive ones and I started my day with a much more positive attitude.

I think Louise's voice has a mesmerizing quality which can be especially healing when you are feeling stressed. You may want to make yourself a comforting place to listen to this meditation. Candles, your favorite essential oil and a quiet setting will enhance your acceptance of the ideas Louise presents. Music plays in the background as Louise speaks from her heart. You can hear flute, water (a waterfall or river) and birds chirping. There are two sections. The second section is filled with more affirmations and the focus is on changing thoughts of fear to thoughts of safety. For anyone experiencing panic attacks, distrust of their environment or general anxiety, this section can help you let go of fear and accept the nurturing environment of safety and trust. Forgiveness of others and yourself is discussed.

"Overcoming Fears" is a healing, beautiful spoken-word CD that will empower you and help you to find an inner world that is safe and caring. As you move into the world in a more peaceful state, you may notice your environment changing and others reacting to you in a more loving way.

~The Rebecca Review

This is such a great gift for people going through crisis. While Louise's books are an easy read, the CD's are great for those who need the healing messages repeated over and over again. It is in this fashion, one of repetition for the mind, that what seems frightening to the spirit can be dispeled Fear, after all, is the absence of love and can be displaced with positive affirmations and recognizing that love is more of what the world needs. This is a great gift for someone facing crisis or living alone. It can bring comfort in the wee hours of the morning, day or night when things may appear grim.

Having first picked up a Louise Hay book almost 20 years ago, I've been aware of her teachings since then, but have not kept very current on her releases. Lately, I developed a crippling case of fear, self-doubt, lack of confidence and just general anxiety that has impacted my body with piercing neck/back pain & much emotional stress/depression. So I found Louise Hay again and I couldn't be more grateful. The first track of the CD is almost like a therapy session, which for me seemed to lead you to think deeply about the roots of what you are going through. I love the second track, which is mainly affirmations repeated to you in her loving, deep & compassionate voice that range from your body image, family, work, food, animals, even death. The first time I listened to it I immediately felt my neck and back pain start to dissipate as I worked some things through and was reminded of better ways to think/feel. There is very soothing 'new agey' type music in the background which I think enhances things. As a reviewer said below, it can seem rather simplistic at first (maybe even cheesy to the critical or intellectual thinker...which I can relate to) but coming from myself, a heavy metal musician (I know it's strange), keeping your mind/heart open & not 'over thinking' is the key to these messages and, actually, to a lot of creativity. And unlike releases like the currently popular 'The Secret', Louise's messages have never just focused on the more Western, material, self-involved ways of thinking and using your thoughts to create your own selfish reality. She encompasses & encourages the world, all races, all beliefs, all people, all species to help one another and in fact this is one of the affirmations on the CD for us to think about and to visualize.

I love Louise Hay and believe she is one of our Angels on Earth. I didn't know what to expect with this CD as I mostly read her books. At first I thought it was awfully simple but then I realized, that is the point. I listen to this in my car or when I meditate as sort of "background music" and I repeat her words to myself when I'm stressed or having trouble falling asleep. It helps me to feel grounded and peaceful once again. Anyone who has struggled with feeling safe, whether it's feeling safe in a relationship, in being yourself, in expressing yourself, while traveling, etc, this will soothe your fears.

In my opinion, everything that Louise Hay has written has been wonderful. Her very simplistic and down to earth writing really works for me. Since 1988, I have read Louise's books and listened to her tapes and CD's. When I first listened to this CD, I played it again and again and still play it for letting to of fears and negative thoughts! This CD really works for me and I have it to use when needed. Thanks Louise!

In this audio, Louise Hay guides listeners through a series of powerful and inspiring affirmations and meditations, designed to help them overcome many of life's fears. She helps listeners to relax and visualize the best outcome to various problems. Louise Hay is a metaphysical lecturer and teacher and the bestselling author of numerous books. For more than 25 years, Louise has assisted millions of people in discover-ing and using the full potential of their own creative powers for personal growth and self-healing. She is the founder and chairman of Hay House, Inc., a new thought publishing company.

I listen to this CD at least once a week, especially when old issues come up. It's always astounding to me how the media and even friends and family can perpetuate the Fear Factor, but like Louise would probably say, When an issue arises, it's there to be released. Thought is power and we can create a safe place in the world by changing our thoughts (which then change our actions). We can create our world. We are safe, secure and protected by love at all times. Blessed be!

Louise Hay is great to listen to! I use this CD set any time I'm nervous about driving somewhere that's uncomfortable to me and she talks me through it. She says just the right words that help me to naturally calm down and get my mind in the right state. She says just what we wish our parents had said to us while we were growing up. If you have a low self-esteem (like me), then listening to her words will help you to feel better about yourself. I find the audio versions of her books to work better for me than the written words. I highly recommend her materials!

she is an angel on earth her books fill my shelves this cd will make you see life from a different light, it will show you the light within she makes you feel calm just listening to her voice, the affimations, truely work helps you feel better about your life,
a book the calling of your true self also made me look at life in a new way both uplifting and inspiring helps you understand what we can change with our thoughts by sending them out

I cannot say enough good about this Cd.
I purchased this many years ago and it has been the CD out of my entire collection of CD's, from many different Authors, that I have listened to the most. If I didn't have it on my Ipod, I would have worn out the actual CD by now.
This Cd has been such a comfort to me in any time of stress, fear, uncertainty etc..I know it completely by heart, and can actually repeat the entire CD along with Louise now!
Once I turn it on,the familiar reasurring and comforting sound of Louise comes on, along with the very tranquil backround music, and my fears and stress and anxiety melt away and I begin to relax and become calm.

This Cd starts off with a beautiful inner child meditation that is so touching, and healing, it makes you realize just how we do neglect our inner child, and how our relationship with our inner child is one of the most important relationships we can have. We visualize ourselves being together , having fun, playing, being safe and loved and free.. and much more. At the end, you are left with a feeling in your heart so full it makes you feel like joy is overflowing, and that warm sunshine is shining on you, and you truly feel complete, whole and happy. It's amazing,

The second part of the CD is the one I have memorized and can repeat along with Louise! It is a series of positive affirmations that you can repeat to yourself, or out loud, and is a way of changing the way we think. By repeating positive statements, we put positive thoughts 'out there' and then we have positive experiences. The affirmations encompass just about everything I can think of.

Unlike some Authors whome I have heard on Positive affirmation CD's, who can speak in a rather flat, monotone, or abrupt way, that is not Louise's style. She has life and livliness to her voice while maintaining the gift she has of delivering reasurance, comfort, support and security with it as well.

This is the best of Louise Hay's work in my opinion! But.. I am a bit partial because I have liked everything she has done, but I just think that's a tribute to what a wonderful inspirational/motivational speaker, Author and person she is.
