Louise L. Hay

The Louise L. Hay method is all about positive thinking and affirmations and changing the negative thought patterns that we have created in our head. Disease or dis-ease as it is known can be reversed by simply reversing metal patterns. Louise Hay herself was diagnosed with cancer of the vagina many years ago and like anyone else, went into total panic. With her experience in the healing field she cleared the cancer by clearing her own resentments, a lot of forgiving and detoxifying her body.

Louise Hay philosophy:
We are each responsible for all of our experiences
Every thought we think is creating our future.
The point of power is always in the present moment.
Everyone suffers from self-hatred and guilt.
The bottom line for every one is, ‘‘I m not good enough.’’
It’s only a thought and a thought can be changed.
Resentment, criticism and guilt are the most damaging patterns.
Releasing resentment will dissolve even cancer.
When we really love ourselves, everything in our life works.
We must release the past and forgive everyone.
We must be willing to begin to learn to love ourselves.
Self-approval and self-acceptance are the keys to positive changes.
We create every so-called ‘‘illness’’ in our body.

Overweight – diets don’t work
What are you thinking right now? Stop and think, if thoughts shape your life then would you want this thought to become true for you? Whatever you give out verbally or mentally comes back to you in like form. Take a little time and listen to the things you say and think, if you hear yourself saying it 3 times write it down and change the thought pattern to positive. Being overweight is a perfect example, I have wasted an awful lot of time and energy weighing myself and criticising myself all the time about fat and weight gain. So I decided to pick up the book ‘You can heal your life’ by Louise L. Hay again to get some inspiration and I discovered that I was looking at the outer problem and not dealing with the inner problem. In the book it explains that we only put on weight because of fear and the need for protection or when we feel insecure or not good enough. It also says go on a diet from negative thoughts, and the weight will take care of itself. I found my negative thought patterns and I changed them, now I’m saying positive affirmations to myself all the time.

Using positive thought patterns you can clear any disease even cancer. Cancer is deep hurt, long standing resentment, deep secret or grief eating away at the self, carrying hatreds and ‘what’s the use’ attitude. So your new thought pattern would be ‘‘I lovingly forgive and release all of the past. I choose to fill my world with joy and I love and approve of my self.’’ Here are some more examples from the book.

PROBLEM	PROBABLE CAUSE	NEW THOUGHT PATTERN
Abscess	Fermenting thoughts hurts, over slights and revenge.	I allow my thoughts to be free. The past is over. I am at peace.
Pimples, blackheads	Small outburst of anger.	I calm my thoughts and I am serene.
Snoring	Stubborn refusal to let go of old patterns.	I release all that is unlike love and joy in my mind. I movefrom the past into the new and fresh and vital.
Bronchitis	Inflamed family Environment. Arguments and yelling. Sometimes silent.	I declare peace and harmony within me and around me. All is well.
Cellulite	Stored anger and self- Punishment.	I forgive others. I forgive my- self. I am free to love and enjoy life.
Diabetes	Longing for what might have been. A great need to control.Deep sorrow. No sweetness left.	This moment is filled with joy. I now choose to experience the sweetness of today.
Infection	Irritation, anger annoyance.	I choose to be peaceful and harmonious.

This list shows us that willpower and discipline do not work, we need to replace old thought patterns in order to eliminate a condition. Before you begin the new thought pattern affirmations, work on the willingness to release the need for the infection, excess weight or whatever. When the need is gone, the outer effect must die. No plant can live if the root is cut away.
