low serotonin levels), this booklet certainly doesn’t give much hope for the future! I’m still hoping that it can be a useful complement to scientific explanations and, who knows, maybe I’ll find that it does this job well enough for me to give it another star. To someone stuck in a negative thought pattern due to depression (i.e. I’m sceptical to whether the affirmations can make much of a difference, but I can obviously not refute it without having tried them. All is well.”), but surprisingly much of it made sense to me when I “tested it” on myself and others I felt I knew well enough.Heal Your Body by Louise L. I found some of it almost comical (“Problem: Bug bites, Probable cause: Guilt over small things., New thought pattern: I am free of all irritations. It’s hard to disagree with such a holistic view!Īfter the short introductory chapters, the booklet is a kind of encyclopaedia where the reader can look up a specific health problem to find its probable mental cause and a suggested “healing affirmation” to use as a remedy. My interpretation of that hyphen is that it’s there to differentiate “dis-ease” from “disease”, which usually refers to the end result of increased susceptibility (“dis-ease”) coupled with physical causes. Later on in the text, she states that “he mental thought patterns that cause the most dis-ease in the body are criticism, anger, resentment, and guilt”. ![]() Hay writes: “or us to become whole and healthy, we must balance the body, mind, and spirit”.

Despite my scientific background and profession (both in medical research), I believe that the only way to get a full picture is to listen to both sides, i.e. ![]() I read this booklet right after the popular science book “Microbe Hunters” (Paul de Kruif), in which I found this statement, as true now as it was when the book was written in 1926: “Murderous germs are everywhere, sneaking into all of us, yet they are able to assassinate only some of us, and that question of the strange resistance of the rest of us is still just as much an unsolved puzzle as it was in those days of the roaring eighteen-eighties when men were ready to risk dying to prove that they were right.” That “strange resistance” (or an increased susceptibility, which would be the other end of the spectrum) is what I hope alternative medicine can help explaining. If conventional medicine isn’t working for you or you just dislike the traditional remedies to headaches and such, this book is worth a peek. Regardless, the book is still illuminative and helpful. I realize it does work for others so I’m not discounting it, just saying it’s not the solution for me. It laughs at affirmations and refuses to be so easily manipulated. I realize that there’s logic behind this concept but my mind just doesn’t play along. Now, where Louise Hay and I part ways in this thinking is with her remedy – affirmations. Just that knoweldge allows me to think through what’s happening in my life and make some adjustments.

I’ve always believed there is some connection between mind and body, I just never considered the specific relationship between each part of the body and the psyche. It’s just a short book which lists different diseases and physical ailments and what are perceived as the psychological reasonings behind those pains. In dealing with chronic pain a friend referred this book to me as an alternative to the traditional medicine that wasn’t as effective as necessary. As I am a doctor, it also changed the way I look at people.” Review “Thank you for writing HEAL YOUR BODY. It changed my ideas about diseases. ![]() “ HEAL YOUR BODY seems divinely inspired.” I carry it around in my purse, refer to it constantly, and share it with my friends.” #HEAL YOUR BODY LOUISE HAY PDF FREE DOWNLOAD DOWNLOAD#
