About the author
Louise L. Hay
631 books2,908 followersLouise Hay was born to a poor mother who married Hay's violent stepfather. When she was about five, she was raped by a neighbor. At fifteen she dropped out of high school without a diploma, became pregnant, and on her sixteenth birthday gave up her newborn baby girl for adoption.
She moved to Chicago, where she worked in menial jobs, before moving in 1950 to New York. At this point she changed her name and began a career as a fashion model. She was successful at this, working for Bill Blass, Oleg Cassini, and Pauline Trigere.
In 1954, she married Andrew Hay, but after fourteen years of marriage Louise was devastated when Andrew left her for another woman.
Hay said that she found the First Church of Religious Science on 48th Street, which taught the transformative power of thought. Hay revealed that here she studied the metaphysical works of authors like Florence Scovel Shinn and the Religious Science founder Ernest Holmes.
In the early 1970's Hay became a Religious Science practitioner. In this role she led people in spoken affirmations meant to cure their illnesses. She also became popular as a workshop leader.
She studied transcendental meditation with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi at his university in Fairfield, Iowa.
In 1977 or 1978 she found she had cervical cancer, and she concluded that its cause was her unwillingness to let go of resentment over her childhood abuse and rape. She refused medical treatment, and began a regimen of forgiveness, therapy, reflexology, nutrition, and occasional enemas, and claims she rid herself of the cancer. She declared that there is no doctor left who can confirm this story, but swore that it is true.
In 1976 Hay wrote a small pamphlet, which came to be called "Heal Your Body." This pamphlet was enlarged and extended into her book You Can Heal Your Life, which was published in 1984. As of February 2008, it is still on the New York Times best sellers list.
Around the same time she began leading support groups for people living with H.I.V. or AIDS that she called Hay Rides. These grew from a few people in her living room to hundreds in a large hall in West Hollywood. Her work with AIDS patients drew fame and she was invited to appear on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" and "Donahue" in the same week in March, 1988.
You Can Heal Your Life immediately landed on the New York Times Best Sellers List. More than 35 million copies are now in print around the world in more than 30 languages and has been made into a movie.
Louise Hay established Hay House Publishing. It is the primary publisher of books and audio books by Deepak Chopra and Doreen Virtue, as well as many books by Wayne Dyer.
In addition to running her publishing company, Hay runs a charitable organization called Hay Foundation that was established in 1985.

Short and simple and yet so all-encompassing. In about an hour, it seems like she covered enough basics so that pretty much anyone could get something out of this talk... and probably something profoundly life-altering. I was actually surprised at how general it was, rather than talking much about physical illness, which is what I know her for. Of course, with it only being one hour, it might just sound like platitudes and new age hoo-ha to those who aren't already familiar with these philosophies more in-depth. I especially loved her philosophy on love vs. fear, the world in transition, and how to deal with people who bring violence to the world. And I had a mini-epiphany when she talked about connecting with like-minded people every time you meditate peacefully, or every time you judge/hate/criticize. It kind of brought the "Law of Attraction" idea from a future-oriented space into the present tense for me.

"Change and Transition" is a one hour audio book from best-selling author, founder of Hay House, Inc. and arguably the international leader in inspirational and self-help publishing, Louise Hay.
Although I don't often refer to audio books (as I prefer paper-based books), this was a nice depature from the norm for me. It flowed well and easily kept my attention. "Change and Transition" is a talk Louise gave to a live audience and you quickly feel part of the crowd. She gives antedotes and wisdom and there are questions from the audience.
I found it to be entertaining, informative and ultimately helpful.

There are some areas of life that I have been struggling with and some of the things she spoke about resonated with me. I will incorporate some affirmations into my dailies. I affirm I will have an abundant 2016.
