Summary: Listening to my body's wisdom
Review: This book is the clearest way to decipher the messages our unseen selves are communicating. Making a list of every break, bruise, injury and ache I've ever experienced along with the causes and solutions from this book,has opened my eyes like never before. Now I understand in what ways my spirit wants to change and grow, by the ways my body speaks out. Giving this book is the best gift you could ever give those you care about.

Summary: For those who want to be happy
Review: This book was recommended to me by a friend. I am not much for new age material but bought it anyway. After taking the 15 minutes necessary to read through the text I felt like that big lightbulb was glaring at full wattage over my head. I'm sending it to everyone I know. Anyone who reads it will benefit from it - absolutely guaranteed!

Summary: A great guide for finding the causes of symptoms
Review: This is a wonderful book for help in finding the causes to our physical symptoms. If you believe that you are in control of your own life and your own body, this book can be very helpful in getting to the root of those symptoms we all have from time to time... The aching back and the hurt thumb to cancer and other serious diseases. I must admit that I've never read the text portion of the book (it's the smaller section) but the larger encyclopedic section I utilize often. I sometimes disagree with the authors suggestions, but even in cases like this, I find the book helpful for getting on the right track.

Summary: Misses the Mark
Review: This is an interesting book that unfortunately, really has no lasting effect. It lacks the kind of insight and enthusiasm to make it useful and/or memorable.You're better off using technique books, including meditation, nutrition and focusing exercises, even if it takes a couple different books together. one such book would be The Artist's Way (w/ the excersise workbook) coupled with a solid nutrition/cooking journal. Hay misses the mark on this one. Save your money.

Summary: Dog-eared volume held together with tape!
Review: This little blue book has been a constant companion over the past several years. This is apparent when you see the dog-eared, scotch taped book that might be laying around anywhere in my house. It never seems to stay on the shelf where I could easily locate it! Someone is always touting it here and there as they check up on the little "chronic ailments" that crop up from time to time. "Why do you supposed I broke the fingernail on THAT finger?" "You know that is the same vertebra that keeps going out - let's look it up and see what your body is telling you" or "You know our whole family seems to favor heart disease....we're always fighting melancholy and depression." I used to get calls from family and friends to "look up" what's happening with their various ailments. Now most of them have their own volumes. The more you understand from this book, the more you can see the patterns of communication your body is using to get you to "wake up" and change your thoughts and expectations. Louise Hay is truly a great pioneer in this effort to enlighten us about how it is really true - "As a man thinketh, so is he". I highly recommend this book and the doorway it opens into understanding how each of us can become increasingly accountable for the level of health we choose to enjoy. Most importantly, I'm grateful for the understanding that you will receive MORE of what you FOCUS on. When you think about the aches and pains - you receive an abundance of those very things! It's important to remember, as you get older, to refrain from "scuffing your feet along" and pick 'em up and put 'em down with vigor and intention! I love being a powerful contributor to my own good health by seeing myself well and whole and then aligning my thoughts and behavior to that deeply held vision! I am grateful for Louise sharing her insights and experiences. The affirmations are great and "cut through the confusion" about "how do I change this thought!"

Summary: Heal Your Body
Review: This was a dissapointment. This basic book gives the author's ideas of causes of illness with no scientific backing. I believe it can mislead people wanting to better understand the mind-body connection.
