Heal Your Body: The Mental Causes for Physical Illness and the Metaphysical Way to Overcome Them

Product Information

Like a handful of others who managed to rise above the most horrendous circumstances, Louise proved to herself and others that anyone can overcome and triumph over their past by choosing to embrace the right thoughts and beliefs.

But I also believe, rightly or wrongly, that even with the heart and spirit in the right place, even with accepting and loving oneself as much as humanly possible, that even with the perfect balance of diet and exercise and supportive family and friends and energies, some people will still die of illnesses and diseases, as well as accidents. How does that message go down at, say, Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital, or in oncology wards the world over, or among families that have been impacted by cancer, which by the way is most families: cancer will afflict 50 percent of us in the U. Life is more complex than that - we can use self-love and affirmation to get through illness, but to think that we can eliminate pain by sheer force of will is setting ourselves up for failure, disappointment, and we're left blaming ourselves for not being able to sufficiently heal our bodies perfectly and completely with self-love.I have witnessed first-hand the power of positive thought and positive action at work, even with those who are severely injured or sick. In the back of the book she has a list of dis-eases of the body and then has a corresponding affirmation to help minimize whatever problem is going on. It consists entirely of unsupported conjecture, anti-scientific psychobabble and actively harmful implications that people who are not able bodied are in some way responsible for their conditions. She takes excellent, inspiring concepts - self-love, forgiveness, compassion, and adjusting one's negative self talk - and coats it all in a big repulsive swath of victim-blaming and willful ignorance about biology, anatomy and medicine. She is the author of many bestselling books, including You Can Heal Your Life, which has sold more than 30 million copies worldwide.

I do love a lot of what she says about loving oneself and accepting ourselves for who we are otherwise no good will really come of our lives. She disregards science and logic in exchange for dubious science that encourages self-blame and guilt regarding disease. its even useful in my card reading practice when I pick up someone's ailment as it can show what else is going on in their life. If you’re guilty these days of the crime of not thinking positively enough, of finding life difficult, unfair or frightening, well then, says Hay, you will be punished with some ghastly affliction.This became the book Heal Your Body which spawned a vast New Age publishing empire whose innumerable titles promise health, wealth, and visitations from angels. We take pride in offering a wide selection of used books, from classics to hidden gems, ensuring there is something for every literary palate. When I asked her if, since people’s thoughts are responsible for their conditions, victims of genocide might be to blame for their own deaths, she said: “I probably wouldn’t say it to them. I think the faculties to dismiss certain suffering groups is an ingrained reflex because we don’t genuinely have the time, and maybe not even the space in our hearts, for the problems of everyone.
