Heal Your Body is a fresh and easy step-by-step guide. Just look up your specific health challenge and you will find the probable cause for this health issue and the information you need to overcome it by creating a new thought pattern.
Hay said that about this time she found the First Church of Religious Science on 48th Street, which taught her the transformative power of thought. Hay studied the New Thought works of "positive thinking" authors. One was Florence Scovel Shinn who believed that positive thinking could change people's material circumstances, and the other, Religious Science founder Ernest Holmes who taught that positive thinking could heal the body.[2]
"This little book doesn't 'heal' anyone, but it does awaken within you the ability to contribute to your own healing process. For us to become whole and healthy, we must balance the body, mind, and spirit. We need to take good care of our bodies. We need to have a positive attitude about ourselves and about life. And we need to have a strong spiritual connection. When these 3 things are balanced, we rejoice in living. No doctor or health practitioner can give us this unless we choose to take part in our healing process."
Many of us are now coming to understand that physical symptoms and illness often begin first in the emotional and mental bodies. We are not just a physical body. We each have an aura of subtle bodies including the etheric, mental, emotional, astral and causal. Energy healers, clairvoyants and shamans are able to feel or see these bodies. Our western system of allopathic medicine can offer emergency life saving surgeries, as well as subdue and control symptoms yet the root cause is often not addressed. Because our emotions and thoughts are energy, if they are not expressed 'in motion' they can become stuck in the body causing a block in energy flow. Trauma or inherited cellular memory can also result in less than optimal functioning of the meridians of chi or prana flowing through the body.
This list by Louis Hay, author of You Can Heal Your Life, is a valuable reference for your own healing journey. Working with her suggested affirmations can begin unraveling the psychic energy stuck in the body, emotions and mind to create space for healing. From my own personal experience this process is most effective in a multilayered approach combined with reiki, shamanic healing, flower essences, dietary changes, exercise and nature therapy.
This is the process of emotional digestion that healed my gut after twelve years of incessant pain and discomfort. It is a powerful practice of learning to trust yourself and your intuition, and, if done regularly, will transform much more than just physical pain.
Once you have become comfortable with the practice of simply listening to your body, you are ready to ask him or her what s/he needs. Tell your belly (or whichever part of your GI tract is in pain), either aloud or in your head:
Move the energy through you. Dancing, shaking, and yoga are among the many powerful ways to literally shift your energy by moving it out of your body, and calling in more refreshing, open, and higher vibrations.
Try energy healing. Sometimes, the support of an intuitive energy healer, reiki practitioner, or bodyworker is fundamental to releasing stored psychospiritual blockages from the body.

Louise Hay believes every disease is connected to an emotion. Over a period of time, this emotion manifests into a diseased state, which can be seen in the body as a physiological change to the healthy state of the body.
Another resource that may help you is a book written by Brandon Bays, The Journey. A very interesting book on how emotions manifest into physical disease. It does mostly look at cancer and benign growths (as this is the experience of the author), however you can take some great insights into asking yourself the right questions that will uncover the potential reasons behind your health issues.
One last note I will leave you with. The body is not a 2 dimensional being. There is great depth to each and every one of us and when the body has lost its harmonious state of being then it is paramount you look at the events that preceded this to truly heal the body.
We are taught that colds are caused by viruses and that you will catch a cold when your immune system is not strong. Some classic recommendation to boost your immune system is vitamin C, vitamin D3, and echinacea. Yet, why is our immune system sometimes strong enough, and other times not, despite following all the rules of getting enough sleep and maintaining healthy nutrition to keep up our immune system? Every physical issue has an emotional and mental component left out of the equation in the explanation above.
After the conflict is resolved, our body goes into recovery mode. The body needs to heal, and the symptoms of the healing are a runny nose, a headache, a sore throat, a cough etc. If the conflict is not resolved, we might find ourselves in phase two, having the cold symptoms as well, because we get so exhausted from the conflict that our body is forcing us to rest. However, if the original conflict or issue is not resolved, the cycle repeats, and we will get sick again soon. Repeating cycles of this kind can manifest in serious illnesses.
Illnesses will never be completely extinguished, no matter how much scientific research we invest into finding cures, because it is the natural way of our body to communicate with us. To be healthier, we must listen to our mind speak through our body and respond to the messages. There is an amazing intelligence in this mind-body system which has the purpose of keeping us emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually well.
