Religion and Spirituality

Life loves you and you have the power within you to create a life you love. Life loves you is one of Louise Hay's best-loved affirmations. It is the heart thought that represents her life and her work. Together, Louise and Robert Holden look at what life loves you really means - that life doesn't just happen to you; it happens for you. Life Loves You is filled with inspiring stories and helpful meditations, prayers, and exercises. Louise and Robert present a practical philosophy based on seven spiritual practices. Key themes covered include: The Mirror Principle - practicing the how of self-love; Affirming Your Life - healing the ego's basic fear; Following Your Joy - trusting your inner guidance; Forgiving the Past - reclaiming you original innocence; Being Grateful Now - cultivating basic trust; Learning to Receive - being undefended and open; Healing the Future - choosing love over fear. At the deepest level, our purpose in life is to be a loving mirror to the world. Our goal is not just to let life love us but also to love life back. We are here to love the world. If each of us did this just a little bit more, the world would not be such a fearful place.
