A few months ago, in one of my final HEY Yoga Therapy workshops, a few students and I were talking about a book called, "You Can Heal Your Life" by Louise Hay. I heard this book be brought up throughout our certification training, but I honestly kept ignoring how the other students just raved about how this book really allowed them to find themselves. Fast forward to the final 2 HEY Yoga Therapy workshops, and something inside me clicked and I decided to purchase the book and read it. To be forthright I have a habit of purchasing books and then not picking them up at all to read them, or I read halfway through and never finish. This book was so different. The instant I began to read this book, it was like it was speaking to me. I connected instantly to what Louise was sharing. It helped me to look at my life, and myself differently. This book allowed me to look back and realize that habits are formed by the actions of our parents and/or peers, and if they are negative, unhealthy habits, they can be changed to form positive, healthy habits. It was also a reminder to me to not live in the past or worry about what the future holds. It provides you the tools to form healthy habits and to live in the present moment. What I also found interesting was some of the affirmations that are provided in the book. In fact, I have allowed myself to repeat them on a daily basis and it has made a tremendous difference in my daily habits, and how I feel and treat myself. Not to say that I do not still suffer from anxiety issues, but with therapy and reading this book, it has been a great blessing to be able to live in the moment and with ease. In fact, one of my new affirmations is "My way is made smooth and easy". There is also a segment in the book that Louise shares on how our mental health causes and creates physical health issues. I found this so fascinating. At first I was a bit sceptic but the more I read this section and the list of health issues and the causes she provided, I realized that this was true to reality. She even provides a new thought pattern to repeat to one's self in order to heal. There has been a few health issues I have had in the past and once I let go and released the feelings I was holding onto, the health symptom dissipated. Due to publishing rights I am unable to provide a photograph of the book or copy text out of it, but here is the link to purchase the book on Amazon Prime www.amazon.com/s?k=louise+hay&crid=1R29DQOG0XRRG&sprefix=louise+hay%2Caps%2C129&ref=nb_sb_noss_1 I hope you enjoy the book as much as I have. FROM MY HEART TO YOURS, NAMASTE
