The work of Louise Hay is about transformation. In her books, “You Can Heal Your Life” and “The Power is Within You”, Louise talks about the power of our thought. We are responsible for all of our experiences and how are responsible is through our thoughts. Every thought we have is creating our experiences. Our thoughts about the past is where our pain comes from. There is only power in the present moment. Our work is to acknowledge the past and then release it, let it go and also forgive. Our work is to practice staying in the present moment, not in the past. All of our thoughts about the past and even ourselves are just thoughts and thoughts can be changed. It is my believe that the important of Louise Hays work for those in recovery is extraordinary.
