Louise L. Hay: You Can Heal Your Life - Der Film

The DVD arrived on time and in good conditions. This is a very important film by Louise Hay. It contains one of the easiest to watch, life-changing, powerful and beautiful messages I have ever received and practised. A must-watch film for all those who wish to live a happy life, who wish to heal their wounds and move on with courage and inspiration. It carries a section of affirmations that are very useful. The music is most soothing. I totally recommend the film.

The movie is very empowering. The message is not new to anyone familiar with the metaphysics section of the bookstore, but it drives its points home clearly and powerfully. Disk 2 is even better, as it gives each of the speakers in the movie time to speak more deeply to their particular slant. The speakers on Disk 2 brought up some topics new to me.

wow great understanding the menta; issues and how we can achieve better and more positive out come in our life I really enjoy it so much I listen to it over and over & over again I guess you got my point thank you everyone for sharing these personal thoughts god bless u

We often are not aware that we create illnesses with our negative thinking. This movie helps one understand this and provides techniques for helping ourselves, rather than depending on other misleading data.

Unfortunately I couldn't play the whole second part on my TV. The first part played fine. I returned it. Was sent exactly the same DVD & again couldn't play it on my TV except for the first part. I finally decided I needed a mouse and when I played it on my computer I was able to see the whole second part as I had a mouse to click onto the different parts.
Other than my problem, I loved the DVDs & told my friends about them.

Granted. I was introduced to Louise's material long before The Secret. However, this DVD attempts to capture a similar flow and format of The Secret and misses by miles. This one tries to impress me (or validate itself)with the degrees behind the names of the interviewees. But it is off-putting by the lack of diversity among it's interviewees. The only non-white person interviewed had this as her degree of distinction: Dynamic Diva, which stuck out like a sore thumb among the Ph.D's etc. However, more than a need to know what degrees one has, I need to know that this WORKS. What I came away with was a lot of diatribe. I did however, enjoy the commentary of Gregg Braden who seemed very REAL.

General theme: Change your thinking, change your life. Okay. got it.

The 2nd part of DVD One was to have contained something called - The Affirmation Tool kit. It had a list of affirmations/needs. However, the ONLY affirmation that played, no matter WHICH need I clicked, was: I am one with the power that created me and this power has given me the power to create my own circumstances. I am loving and lovable and I find love everywhere. All is well in my world. - No matter *what* section I clicked, that's all that was said. - It was like being stuck in Stepford-land. If there is only one affirmation, why not SAY SO??? - I concluded that my DVD is defective. Why have a *listing* if all you have is one affirmation? Simply say: General Purpose Affirmation and call it a day.

The Secret was such a runaway success, I see why this DVD was created. It just doesn't do it for me. I get the feeling that many of the interviewees are five minutes from depression themselves. Some of them just don't seem HAPPY.

I purchased the DVD expanded version and eagerly devoured it in the same night. I am not new to the use of affirmations, but never seem to stick with using them long enough to see real lasting change. It was helpful to hear that some people didn't get results until they had been using the affirmations for 3 to 6 months. It apparently takes that long to re-wire the neural pathways, as they put it. You are actually making physical, electrical, biochemical changes in the structure of the brain, so give it time, don't give up, and it will happen for you. One thing I did do is go out and buy the book to go with the DVD because she spoke of a list of ailments and that she had researched them and found out pretty much what emotional issue causes each physical ailment. While this is mentioned in the DVD, the list would have been too exhaustive to include in the movie, and you really need that list to look up your ailments and get a really big picture of what's holding you back. So after researching your ailments, watch the movie for inspiration. You'll get it. Oh, and it also has the interactive affirmation tool on the first DVD. One of the other reviewers stated that tool did not work, that no matter what area they clicked on it brought up the same affirmation. That is a mistake, I thought the same thing at first but I was not clicking on the right thing. There is a list of areas such as self, relationships, prosperity, work, etc. and there is a little marker that moves down from one to the other. You have to click on the MARKER, not on the word you are choosing. If you click on the word, nothing happens, but as the marker moves down, click on it, and it will bring up a different set of affirmations.

This is a very helpful and well presented DVD, which includes input from major figures such as Wayne Dyer, Gregg Braden, Doreen Virtue and Christiane Northrup.

I found the beginning a little irritating as the woman who was voicing her negative thoughts was mumbling so much that I missed a lot of what she was saying.

Having seen a number of these Self-Help, Positive Thinking programs, including Tony Robbins, I think the key factor that people need to develop in following positive/transformational courses of action is patience.

However much you work towards change, via your thinking and daily actions, it will not happen overnight. But even if something takes two years to come to full fruition and give you a significantly better life, it is clearly well worth the time, given that you may have thirty, forty, fifty or more years of life left ahead of you.

That's a pretty good ratio, and since you have to live those two years anyway, you may as well live them filled with hope, positive thinking and ACTION. That is where Tony Robbins excels... taking action as well as changing your thinking is everything, and Louise certainly undertands that herself.

This is a good introduction to Louise's work, and the woman is living proof of its worth. She is a tremendous presenter and her own life story is extremely inspirational.

Is it any coincidence that the major religions all preach that?

Forgiveness is NOT about condoning a bad behavior, but rather, recognizing that you are giving away your own powers and creating your own suffering.

This video/book/CD series confirms something that Edgar Cayce has done since the early 1900's, namely, healing has three dimensions: Body, Mind, and the Spirit. Affirmations are the ones that operate both in the mental (mind) and the Spirit spheres. If you can cure both the mind and the spirit, then you have won 66% of the battles in your life (if we want to be mathematically linear about it, which is probably a false way to quantify it).

The most difficult part of the affirmations is the "mirror work." Yet, it is the most profound, as Louise has stated and I have also found out.

This, along with her AFFIRMATION KIT CD of the same title, will make miracles happen in your life if heeded in full.

This movie is so pivotal that the English subtitle should have been added to it for those that prefer to understand every word. For this reason I had to custom make a version that has an English subtitle.

Even though there is a book and an audio CD of the same title, this movie does not simply "follow-along" with the same presentation format, and I am glad. It presents speakers that have personally triumphed over their own life difficulties, allowing the viewer to tie faces to statements for themselves, testimonials which I believe are critical in conveying the actual message.

For this reason, unlike the book, I give it 5-stars.

While taking nothing away from the profound truths contained in The Secret, Louis Hay and most of the enlightened teachers of our generation come together in this remarkable film to teach lessons that are profoundly impactful. Long before most of us were asking the deeper questions of life, Louise Hay was not only asking and answering them, she was teaching others to go deeper, to love themselves, and to literally change their thinking and change their lives.

In this moving and entertaining film, she now brings her message to life complete with music and stunning visuals. While so much of The Secret focuses on the creation of material things, You Can Heal Your Life takes us deeper into our spirits to ask the question "What do you really want?" This question, like all questions that really matter, can only be answered from the heart. And at the heart of her message is the simple, profound, world-changing power of love; love for ourselves, love for others, love for our Creator.

If only we can absorb the lessons she teaches, we will have the power to change the world in the most impactful way we can: by healing our own lives. You might as well buy two copies of this video, because you will want to watch your own copy again and again, and you will also want to share a copy with everyone in your life.

A truly profound and life-changing film.

If you have heard about positive thinking but don't understand the process, this is the film for you. If you are already a fan of Louise Hay, you are going to ADORE this film. I am so excited to see it finally released!

Louise Hay is a best selling author, known for her book, You Can Heal Your Life. In the book, she describes what 'cause' is often behind our diseases and illnesses. She developed this list working with clients in her church and consciously noting how they 'talked' when they spoke about their cancer, carpal tunnel syndrome, migraines or whatever other ailment was bothering them. I refer to this list regularly in my Angel Readings and Reflexology sessions; clients are always shocked at how accurate Louise's findings are.

The movie is incredibly done. Every person watching it will relate to our main character, who struggles with thinking negative thoughts. Throughout the film, the viewer is introduced to the power of our thoughts, and the process of why what we say and think has such an effect on our daily lives. Included in the film (and especially in the extended release) are interviews of well known metaphysical speakers and authors such as Esther and Jerry Hicks, Doreen Virtue and Wayne Dyer. Through the movie, you are taught how the process WORKS and how you can change YOUR life for the better! It isn't just about mumbling affirmations and expecting your new car delivered to your front door by the delivery truck. This is a process, step by step, to connect you with what you truly, consciously, want to create in your life.

A wonderful addition to this movie is an option of "Affirmations". With beautiful music and breathtaking scenes, you are able to affirm with Louise new thoughts about your health, prosperity and relationships. It's a wonderful DVD to have on as you are milling about your day, cleaning or cookie, affirming all the way to have good enter your life.

In the extended version, there are detailed interviews with those wonderful teachers. It's definitely a keeper and worth embracing their individual stories.
Enjoy!!! You deserve a wonderful life!

No qualms about recommending the wonderful content of this DVD, however, I was really hampered by the lack of closed captioning (??) available (or at least I couldn't get it to work on my system).

I found that the closed captioning would have been useful: while the audio quality of the interviews in the documentary were just fine, the narration by the female 'character' was so breathy /whispery /full of verbal 'tics & clicks' that I often couldn't make out what she was saying! That was frustrating, because I wanted to hear it, but often just fast-forwarded through 'her' sections to be able to keep a positive spirit while viewing the DVD.

The 'tics and clicks' lady would have been more tolerable if closed captioning were available. The lack of closed captioning on this DVD really surprises me, as I would think that Hay House would consider the needs of the hearing-impaired.

Still recommended!

About twenty-one years ago, I was introduced to the book, You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay. As I began reading this book I began being intoduced to things I had never heard before. Things like:

We are each responsible for our own lives.
Every thought we think we are creating our future.
The point of power is always in the present moment.
It's only a thought and a thought can be changed.

These things did not make my heart swell with gladness. In fact, these things made me angry. More than once, that book flew through the air. I remember one day after reading a few paragraphs of the book, I was so angry that I had to go to the kitchen and get a cool drink. My dad, puzzled as to why I was so angry, asked me what was the matter?

I just looked at him with disgust and sneered, "Oh, as if you didn't know? Why didn't someone tell me being happy was my choice?"

"Huh?"

You see, most of forget that all happiness and consequently all healing begins on the inside. Nobody and no thing can heal us. Not God or Jesus or the sacred toliet water found in an obscure outhouse in the Romanian foothills. The only one that has the power to heal us is ourselves. We have to be willing to heal. That is why before Jesus "healed" anyone, he asked, "Do you want to be healed?" Because he knew that no matter what, there would never be a healing unless the person was really willing to have one and the same is true today.

This DVD is basically the same format as What the Bleep and the Secret. Various metaphysical guides, teachers, writers, and other "professional types" talk about the healing power that is within each one of us and I have to say, they did an incredible job bringing to Light certain fundamental truths that do heal us when they are consciously and deliberately applied.

I don't think anyone who wakes up in the morning six feet above ground ever escapes the need to experience healing. There is always some kind of healing work that needs to be done. Even if it's something you might consider "minor", if it gets in the way of your peace and your happiness, healing needs to take place. What I find interesting is amount of time required for me to notice when I'm out of alignment. Whereas before I was oblivious to my feelings, now I know if something feels just mildly out of kilter with my psyche...my soul...I need to either, forgive myself, forgive another, or release something or someone to the Power of Love.

You have the power to heal your Life. The things that cause us hurt, disapointment, frustration, guilt, and pain are not there to simply taunt us, they are there to get our attention...believe it or not, these things want to be healed.

Go into this movie with an open heart. I guarantee that if you're not used to these concepts and ideas, a few of these things will actually shock you and may make you incredibly angry, but don't just dismiss these ideas...don't just "poo poo" them and say that you're the exception and that they won't work on you, make just a tiny space of willingness to try out these concepts and watch your life unfold in a beautiful way.

Make a promise to yourself that 2008 is going to be absolutely great. Make this the year that you let yourself heal.

Peace and Blessings,
john, 'the Light Coach'

I can't say enough about this DVD. The background of the lady going through the process of changing her life by changing her thoughts is great, very realistic. I like that it shows what "real" people think about doing these exercises for the first time.

The extra interviews on the number 2 DVD are absolutely awesome. They helped me to understand the theories so much better. Understanding the theory helps me to apply the techniques more honestly and effectively. I'm one of those people that needs some science to go with my faith.

I applaud Louise Hay and all of the contributors that were involved with this production. I went through many, many emotions while watching the DVD's. They hit the nail on the head with the explanations of how to apply the techniques. They are a great complement to the Secret. Good work! I highly recommend this DVD set to anyone interested in improving their life from the inside out.
