Louise Hay-- You Can Heal Your Life (DVD)

Louise Hay—  notes from interview

Create

Every thought we think

+

Every word we speak

You are painting your future

You are creating your own life.

Once you accept it.

n   You can begin creating wat you want in your life

Train yourself

n   To be aware of what you are thinking

n   Smallest level

Doing Affirmations

Making positive affirmations about your life

As you start

Green lights + parking places

Twice a day?

Doing Affirmations

Stand in front of a mirror

And do affirmations

The Mirror reveals:

Accept yourself

Or

Realize that you are rejecting youself

I love you

I really, really love you

A good, general positive statement

About

Thing you would not expect

They will happen

Put the seed in, expect it to grow

Universe

There is a law and a process

Gratitude—works a lot

The universe loves “gratitude.”

Somone gives you a present. Say, “Oh it is wonderful.” More likely you will get more presents.

Only Good Lies Before Me

Prosperity affirmation—“I did 3!”

·      But….

·      How many poverty affirmations did you do this day?

You Can’t Change Your Thoughts

If You Don’t Know What Your

Thoughts Are

Sheet of paper

n   what do I think about—

o  men

o  women

o  money

n   Look at your thoughts

o  How many positive?

o  How many negative?

A Law of Thinking

n   like a computer

n   learn the language of the computer

n   miracles happen

n   Your Thoughts Create Your Life

Love Yourself

One day I discovered

Help people learn to love themselves

Everything falls away—

What have you done that is so terrible?

Not a case of vanity—

Acknowledge that you

“are a child of God”

You are being that has self-worth

Stop beating yourself up

Treat youself

n   what you give out

n   is what comes back to you

Life treats you differently

    You have to practice.

Look in the Mirror

Get to that little

Child inside

Break open that door

The universe loves grateful people.

Life is really simple but

We make it enormously complicated

Put your foot on the pathway—

One step at a time

Enlightenment

Let go of things not benefitting you in life

I don’t have to believe that anymore

That may be true for you

That’s not true for me

Journey

We’re all on a journey

Words

Listen to what people say

People use negative words

Should implies—

You were wrong

or

You are wrong

Or

You are going to be wrong

“I’m 80 years old” (Louise Hay)

·      get the boulder out of the way

·      or

·      get the gravel out of the way

Have you really Learned it?

·      Never wrong

·      Always doing the best we can

Let it roll!
