Inspired By Louise Hay

Inspired By Louise Hay

One of the many stories and people I've been inspired by, is Louise Hay philosophy when I first got in touch with it almost 10 years ago.

Who?
Louise Hay - who cured cancer by going within her inner self, and treated the dis-ease by working on healing her internal emotions, releasing the anger and resentment, replacing them with positive thoughts and affirmations.

( For those who of you who may not have heard of Louise Hay, she is a metaphysical lecturer and teacher and bestselling author of 27 or more books. Hay has assisted thousands of people in discovering and using the full potential of their own creative powers for personal growth and self-healing. www.louisehay.com )

What inspires me?
10 years ago, I was specifically inspired by the mind-body connection, that every thought we think and every word we speak is creating the very fabric of our existence, our ease and dis-ease. In her book "You Can Heal Your Life", is a priceless list of physical ailments and their emotional, mind body connection.
For example, lower back challenges often represent financial woes and concerns; Asthma or other breathing problems can represent the fear of taking in life, not feeling worthy to take up space; and one very close to my heart and people around me is breast lump/cancer, represent over-mothering, taking care of everyone else above self.
This book highlights conditions from constipation to cancer, allergies to anorexia, knee pain to migraines. All of which are rooted in a limiting thought pattern that creates dis-ease in our body's vibrational frequency.  And comes with a corresponding positive affirmations to replace the negative limiting thoughts.

How has it changed my life?
I put into practice what I read from the book. The very first thing I addressed was when I kept getting colds and flu and sometimes asthma and lack of breathe. Especially when I got so frightened with the lack of breathe when the next flu came and indeed the thought actually created the reality, I got lung infection and breathing got very tough... I started to develop awareness of my body through meditation, I listen to my body more and more intensely, I wake up each morning, sitting for a while, just deep breathing, listening to where the breathe is going and feeling where it gets stuck... I can instantly feel the lung area, or shoulder /neck strain whenever there is some problem over there, simply by deep breathing and follow the breathe where it takes me.  By respecting my body and what it tells me whenever I apply a solution to the dis-ease, I am now able to maintain illness free and flu-free for the longest record so far of 3 years!  And when a flu striked me the last time, I was able to practice this listening and respecting what my body needed, and it just went off over a few days. No lack of breathe!

On the other aspect of healing the emotions for this, I addressed my fear of life, of not being safe to changes in life... throughout the years, I've worked very hard on releasing negative limiting patterns conditioned over my childhood - on my self esteem, inconfidence of my identity, beliefs into the negative criticisms ...other than the encounter with the book, I was introduced to other Louise Hay philosophy when I stepped out of my comfort zone, left home one day and went to a strange land (to many other people at that time) to live my life, challenging my fears.  I was lost, like thrown into the deepest hole, a hole I know I was ready to get into it, so I seeked help.  I was introduced to Hay House radio and other healing modularies, like Reiki, I constantly heal my inner self, wrote books and books of journal and create a confident self, a new identity was born.

I make positive affirmations for my self "I am safe, whole and complete.  I am perfect and I trust each step I take as divinely guided to my highest potential", replacing my fear thoughts of not trusting in life.
I have now good faith in leading life with a very healthy body, and it is also an on-going journrey for me, in releasing other blockages in me, evolving and transforming further with new and positive posibilities into my life.

I would like to leave you now with this thought about the 9 key points of Louise Hay philosophy:

•   We are each responsible for all of our experiences.

•   Every thought we think is creating our future.

•   It’s only a thought, and a thought can be changed.

•   The point of power is always in the present moment.

•   The bottom line issue for everyone is “I’m not good enough.”

•   Resentment, criticism, and guilt are the most damaging patterns.

•   We must release the past and forgive everyone.

•   Self-acceptance in the now is the key to positive change.

•   When we really love ourselves, everything in our life works.

Transformational Heal Your Life Workshop

Marvelous Transformed Butterflies, Magnificent Beings: Heal Your Life Workshop Leaders/Teachers 2012

This blog was inspired after my teacher training program at Louise Hay's Heal Your Life Workshop Leader/Teacher Training in Birmingham UK, led by Dr. Patricia Crane, who had the privilege of studying personally with Louise Hay for several years, and was chosen by Louise to lead the Love Yourself, Heal Your Life® workshop. (This evolved into the current training program. This training is authorized by Hay House, Inc., and approved by Louise. Heal Your Life® is now a registered trademark worldwide. More about the workshop.)

I first get to know Dr. Patricia Crane through her book Ordering From The Cosmic Kitchen, on how to create positive affirmations and see how it works on our lives, just like placing orders at the restaurant, we say exactly what we want and not worry if we get the dish we ordered! It was very practical way of applying positive affirmations in our lives, and I certainly find it a very easy read and a book with a sense of humour.  :)

However, I was still skeptical on some levels, especially not sure on my energy when the positive affirmations are laid out, and also about Louise Hay other points of philosophy even though I've been applying the mind-body connection to an improved health for past 10 years, so I thought if I'm going to go for it, it has to be in FULL force, so instead of just experiencing at a 2days workshop, I signed up for the Teacher's training in UK 2012 right away.  I just have to meet the person in real, and feel it myself.  I want to meet Dr. Patricia Crane in person.  :)

The one week training was very intensive.  It was a typical place in England, but the energy was so transformational my mental mind was picturing the whole place as somewhere else, the place was filled with so much love, it was a safe haven to release, release and create new possibilities.  Some impactful insights were shared with me through my interactions and releasing with fellow trainees.  I was able to experience how we carry with our masks in our daily lives and when we are filled with so much love, the masks can be removed and a marvelous loving soul is revealed. That made me so much more compassionate with people, to be less judgemental, more compassionate no matter how difficult or rude or irritable that person may seem to me, perhaps a reflection of my self or a phase a person is going through, not ready to reveal what's behind the mask.

I was inspired by many other events, experiences, people through this training... It is very often that when we look back that we realise how big impact an event or person has inspired us to where we are now.  This workshop has opened up another part of me, my life.  It's an ongoing journey, and I know many others in this week has more and more inspiring stories to tell.  This has inspired me to start this blog - to allow such experiences to be noted and shared around the world, that this philosophy works! It works wonders in fact!  We are each responsible for our own thoughts and life, we can change them and we can certainly change our lives for the better.

It is safe. It is only change.  We are supported by one another, we are supported by the whole universe.

So start placing your orders now to the Universe, and I look forward to hear and share many wonderful stories of people inspiring lives around the world.
