"I discovered the Law of Attraction about a month or so ago watching the Oprah show where she was showing a segment again on the topic of Law of Attraction. The guest were Louise Hay, Cheryl Richardson and another fasinating woman, I cannot remember her name. I went to the bookstore the very next day to puchase a book by Louise Hay. I found The Power is Within You. A wonderful read for me. I was moved by Louise's words of what you think about yourself is what really counts. She suggests that one must focus on what the negatives are in one's life that keeps them from moving forward and get past them. She also believes everyone should do affirmations daily.

As we all know, society is very demanding and judgemental of what everyone is doing or should be doing according to their own standards. Louise explains that it should not matter. I always keep in mind a quote I read somewhere "Everybody wants the freedom to choose their own best course in life--AND the ability to choose everyone else's as well. Well, that is not how is should be. We as individuals are responsible for our own live's. If everyone followed their own path in life, chaos in the world today could be eliminated.

Everyone should read this book and familiarize themselves with The Law of Attraction. "

"After one line in "You Can Heal Your Life" had a profound effect on me, I decided to buy this book, "The Power is Within You". Right off, Louise Hay distinguishes between realizing your power and feeling like a victim. Yes, these two supposed opposite concepts can be confused! Who knew?

I highly recommend this book, whether as your first Louise Hay or your tenth. Each of us, she writes, needs to remind ourself that we can be strong and powerful and move toward our goals....without waiting for someone else's permission to do so! By the way, the line that affected me so deeply was "I approve of myself" repeated over and over. Now I don't need others' approval! Please buy this book for yourself."

"Louise teaches how to get in touch with your inner guidance, that part of you that knows what's best for you at any given time in your life. Growth is so important if you want to empower yourself and live a better life.

Louise Hay tells of the troubled past she overcame to become who she is today. She learned to give herself loving support so she could make the changes necessary to live a better, more empowered life. The "Power is Within You" guides the reader along their own individual journey to create a better life. Elaine Williams"

""The Power is Within You" is another inspirational book by Louise Hay. This woman just has the most open, loving heart and she shares that love with everyone with whom she comes into contact.

In this book, her overriding message is that the power to live our best life resides within each of us and comes from self-love and love of others.

She makes some very good points in this book, like:
- All the events you've experienced in your life come from past thoughts and beliefs.
- Your mind doesn't control you; you control your mind.
- Our power comes from taking responsibility for our lives.
- Only you can change your life.

She also offers some great practical advice. For instance, with regard to meditating, she notes that when she does it, she takes a deep breath and asks herself, "What is it I need to know?" and then she sits and listens.

Additionally, she provides 10 ways to love yourself in which she includes such tips as:
- stop criticizing yourself
- be patient with yourself
- take care of your body....and 7 other tips

Louise has written a postive, inspiring book on tapping into your inner power which I enjoyed reading. "
