The Power Is Within You

Product Information

In 1977 or 1978 she found she had cervical cancer, and she concluded that its cause was her unwillingness to let go of resentment over her childhood abuse and rape. She refused medical treatment, and began a regimen of forgiveness, therapy, reflexology, nutrition, and occasional enemas, and claims she rid herself of the cancer. She declared that there is no doctor left who can confirm this story, but swore that it is true. I feel an important thing to be aware of is that the Power we are all seeking "out there" is also within us and readily available to us to use in positive ways. May this book reveal to you how very powerful you really are. You’ll learn how to react to problems differently using positive affirmations and a new mindset so you have more peace . After many years counseling clients and conducting hundreds of intensive training programs, self-help pioneer Louise Hay said the one thing that heals every problem is to love yourself and The Power is Within You will show you how. I enjoyed the book, it was a light read. Took me about two weeks, some chapters were definitely better than others. Loved the idea of the wounded child inside of us, I actually did take her advice and have become an overall more positive person since and just shifted my perspective on a lot of things. I also really enjoyed the part about being environmentally conscious as I do agree we are one with the environment and, yes, we do have to take care of the planet.

It's about not seeing yourself as a victim but learning from every experience, whether good or bad. This is one of those books that you have to reread periodically in certain stages of your life, just to remind yourself how strong you are and that nothing can actually take you down or make you feel down, despite you - yourself!

It's quite inspiring to think that though Louise Hay is no longer with us, her words continue to be read, absorbed and paid forward. That's got to be a good thing. A solid 3.5★ from me.

She moved to Chicago, where she worked in menial jobs, before moving in 1950 to New York. At this point she changed her name and began a career as a fashion model. She was successful at this, working for Bill Blass, Oleg Cassini, and Pauline Trigere.

Success!

DNF. My Mom is a Huge Louise Hay fan,long before I got into self help and new age books,she was devouring all of them and constantly rereading Mrs Hay. Every author that I love in the genre is published by Hay House and so I think I had profound expectations about Louise Hay's writing when I went into this. THE BESTSELLING EXTENSION TO THE INTERNATIONAL PHENOMENON, YOU CAN HEAL YOUR LIFE THAT HAS SOLD MORE THAN 50 MILLION COPIES This book will be an essential steppingstone on your path of self-discovery and is a roadmap on how to change for the better by loving and taking care of yourself, starting today. The information in this book, which has been a part of my lectures, and new ideas since writing You Can Heal Your Life, is an opportunity to know a little more about yourself and to understand the potential that is your birthright. I was looking for this same titled book written by Claude Bristol. I could not find it, so I went thru this in about 20 min. I am very very very disappointed with this book/'writer' and cannot seem to understand what people like about it.. I have read many books from New Thought writers, so I am well aware of the philosophy she mentions in the book. She is repeating some words she heard at her science church and repeats words and sentences that she does not understand, nor can explain, which she even admits... At one point she writes she used the om word in her workshop because it works well, but she herself has no understanding about it. OMG! The ancient Indians used the om word which certainly has purpose and spiritual explanation. I find it very unfortunate that some people, typically Americans, go to the East, take something and sell it to the West without any purpose or without the original meaning. The whole book is written without the writer truly understanding the concepts she is talking about. This book is perfect for uneducated people in the field.

To be perfectly honest I had never bee into self help books, specially because of their reputation. Anyways, fast forward, 2020 and a global pandemic hits so now I have a book membership I need to use and only about 6-7 available books. I love this idea that our thoughts are the driving force behind what happens in our lives, and I work actively to alter mine every day. It's not about not having bad thoughts, but being able to recognise and alter them. You don't have to be perfect, you just have to want to be better. Louise Hay was born to a poor mother who married Hay's violent stepfather. When she was about five, she was raped by a neighbor. At fifteen she dropped out of high school without a diploma, became pregnant, and on her sixteenth birthday gave up her newborn baby girl for adoption.The information in this book, which has been a part of my lectures, and new ideas since writing You Can Heal Your Life , is an opportunity to know a little more about yourself and to understand the potential that is your birthright.
