About Louise Hay’s
Heal Your Life® Work
By practicing Louise Hay’s mind-body healing techniques and positive philosophy, millions have learned to create more of what they want in their lives, including more wellness, in their bodies, minds, and spirits.
After several years of studying, practicing and counseling other on mind-body spiritual work, Louise compiled a reference guide detailing the mental causes of physical ailments, and developed positive thought patterns for reversing illness and creating health.
This compilation was the basis for Heal Your Body, also known affectionately as “the little blue book.”
Louise began traveling throughout the United States, lecturing and facilitating workshops on loving ourselves and healing our lives.
This first book, Heal Your Body, was published in 1976, long before it was fashionable to discuss the connection between the mind and body.
Heal Your Body was revised and expanded in 1988.
This best-selling book introduced Louise’s concepts to people in 33 different countries and has been translated into 25 languages throughout the world.

She considered the alternatives to surgery and drugs, and instead developed an intensive program of affirmations, visualization, nutritional cleansing, and psychotherapy.
Within six months, she was completely healed of cancer.

In 1980, Louise moved back to her native Southern California, and it was here that she began putting her workshop methods on paper.
In 1984, her new book, You Can Heal Your Life, was published.
In it, Louise explains how our beliefs and ideas about ourselves are often the cause of our emotional problems and physical maladies and how, by using certain tools, we can change our thinking and our lives for the better.
You Can Heal Your Life reached the New York Times bestseller list and remained on it for 13 consecutive weeks.
More than 50 million copies of You Can Heal Your Life have been sold throughout the world.
Twenty years later, due to Louise’s appearances on the Oprah Winfrey Show, You Can Heal Your Life was again on the New York Times bestseller list.
