One of the founders of the self-help movement, Louise Hay was an American motivational author. Published in 1976, Heal Your Body is considered one of the best books discussing the mind and body connection.
Hay went through some really rough experiences, and “rough” doesn’t even come close to describing those events. At the age of 5 she was raped, at 15 she got pregnant and gave up her newborn baby for adoption, and in her 50s she was diagnosed with incurable cervical cancer.
While many of us would probably lose all hope, Hay chose to analyze what she was dealing with and came to the conclusion that her body was reacting to all the hatred and resentment she accumulated for everything that happened to her. That’s when she refused a conventional medical treatment and began to combine therapy with nutrition, reflexology and a regimen of forgiveness to heal her body - successfully.
Louise Hay teaches us how our thoughts are responsible for whatever happens to us and our bodies – they can heal or sicken us.
Here are 17 Louise Hay quotes to help you clear your conscience and heal your soul:
