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 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.

So I did the inevitable: *fast forwards 3 minutes * I tried it. I promised myself that I would read it again if I ever got married and so here I am, having listened to it just once more. I trained my mind out of depression, I let go of anger, bitterness and resentment (took months of all day affirmations), I got the job I’d dreamt of as a girl (B777 Pilot), I found the man of my dreams, married him 6 weeks ago and have just fallen pregnant. I feel like I’ve been gifted the secret to life.

Hay said that she found the First Church of Religious Science on 48th Street, which taught the transformative power of thought. Hay revealed that here she studied the metaphysical works of authors like Florence Scovel Shinn and the Religious Science founder Ernest Holmes. Being exposed to Louise Hay and reading this book completely opened my mind and gave me the idea I could chose my thoughts, if I wished. I remember being sceptical of course but then thinking, so how powerful am I really?! It triggered hundreds of hours of reading into the mind/law of attraction/heating etc and a whole overhaul of my mind. 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. She studied transcendental meditation with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi at his university in Fairfield, Iowa. 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.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! You have an opportunity to love yourself more, so you can be a part of an incredible universe of love. Love begins in our hearts, and it begins with us. Let your love contribute to the healing of our planet.” 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.

It's about not seeing yourself as a victim but learning from every experience, whether good or bad. 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.

In the early 1970's Hay became a Religious Science practitioner. In this role she led people in spoken affirmations meant to cure their illnesses. She also became popular as a workshop leader. Around the same time she began leading support groups for people living with H.I.V. or AIDS that she called Hay Rides. These grew from a few people in her living room to hundreds in a large hall in West Hollywood. Her work with AIDS patients drew fame and she was invited to appear on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" and "Donahue" in the same week in March, 1988.

It also seems to assume that every reader had a troubled childhood, with horrible parents. I found it really difficult because my childhood was actually pretty good, and my parents have been such incredibly supportive, loving role models. I've certainly overcome obstacles in my life, but I like to think I can still be a better person without having to overcome a dark past. urn:lcp:poweriswithinyou00loui:epub:60dda53a-0bc0-45e6-ba4c-9ff9f7597cc2 Foldoutcount 0 Identifier poweriswithinyou00loui Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t4mk7kd88 Isbn 0958897360This book has given me strength in my life more times than I wish to admit. This time is no different. 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.

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.
