Celebrity Spotlight: Louise Hay

Posted By Marlene on 2012-01-20 18:38

A late bloomer, Louise did not begin her work as a healer and author until middle age.  Louise started by counselling parishioners in her church, and began noticing the connections between their physical ailments and their emotional and mental states.  She began taking notes and from these notes Louise wrote Heal Your Body in 1976.  Perhaps her best-known work was You Can Heal Your Life, which was published in 1984 and shot her to fame.  More books followed: The Power is Within You (1991) and I Can Do It (2004).

The main theme running through Louise's affirmations is one of self-acceptance, of loving and approving oneself regardless of all the negative messages that one may have heard in childhood. 

Louise not only wrote about the power of positive affirmations, she lived them; diagnosed with cervical cancer, Louise added mind-body healing and powerful affirmations to alternative treatments, and claims to have cured herself completely of cancer.  Louise's childhood was marked by poverty and abuse, which she believes contributed to developing cancer.  Louise drew upon the experiences she gained from overcoming an unhappy childhood, to develop compassion in her work with others.

Louise Hay is not only an author and healer but also a motivational speaker.  She has even founded her own publishing company, Hay House, which publishes books by over 100 authors, amongst them Wayne Dyer and Esther and Jerry Hicks.
