'Life loves you' is one of Louise Hay's best-loved affirmations. It is the heart thought that represents her life and her work. Together, Louise and Robert Holden look at what 'life loves you' really means - that life doesn't just happen to you; it happens for you. In a series of intimate and candid conversations, they dig deep into the power of love, the benevolent nature of reality, the friendly universe and the heart of who we really are.
Life Loves You is filled with inspiring stories and helpful meditations, prayers and exercises. Louise and Robert present a practical philosophy based on seven spiritual practices. Key themes cover:
The Mirror Principle - practising the 'how' of self-love
Affirming Your Life - healing the ego's basic fear
Following Your Joy - trusting your inner guidance
Forgiving the Past - reclaiming your original innocence
Being Grateful Now - cultivating basic trust
Learning to Receive - being undefended and open
Healing the Future - choosing love over fear
Louise Hay was an inspirational teacher, incredible visionary, and self-help pioneer who educated millions since the 1984 publication of her bestseller, You Can Heal Your Life, which has more than 50 million copies in print worldwide and spent 16 weeks on the New York Times bestsellers list. She appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show and many other TV and radio programs both in the U.S. and abroad.
Renowned for demonstrating the power of affirmations to bring about self-healing and positive change, Louise was the author of more than 30 books, including the bestsellers The Power Is Within You and Heal Your Body. In addition to her books, Louise produced numerous audio and video programs, card decks, online courses, and other resources for leading a healthy, joyous, and fulfilling life.
Louise was dubbed “the closest thing to a living saint” by the Australian media and in 1985, Louise began her famous support group, “The Hayride,” with six men diagnosed with AIDS. By 1988, the group had grown to a weekly gathering of 800 people and had moved to an auditorium in West Hollywood.
In 1987, what began as a small venture in the living room of her home turned into Hay House, Inc.: the largest publisher of self-help books, events, and courses. Hay House has sold millions of books and products worldwide and now has offices in California, New York, London, Sydney, Johannesburg, and New Delhi.
The non-profit Hay Foundation, established by Louise in 1986, continues to support organizations that enhance the quality of life for people, animals, and our environment.
