Louise Hay’s Best Meditations for Self-Love, Healing & Forgiveness

Hello, this is Louise Haye. Welcome [music] to another tape in my subliminal mastery series. [music] Self-esteem is a basic feature of a healthy, joyous life, [music] and many people suffer from a lack of it.

I have recorded this tape to help recreate feelings of self-worth and self-love. [music] We can create peace and harmony and balance in our minds. [music] And when we do, we will find those qualities in our lives.

This may seem to be a very tall [music] order. And yet, the universe totally supports us in every thought we choose to think and believe. Do you appreciate yourself [music] as the valuable and precious being you truly are?

Or do you judge yourself as not good enough yet to deserve such praise? [music] This subliminal mastery series tape on self-esteem is lovingly designed to help you [music] dissolve the subconscious barriers that prevent you from experiencing the joy and fulfillment and wonder that is already present in you now just [music] awaiting release. I'd like to explain about subliminal audio tape training.

The purpose of subliminal tapes is to [music] reprogram negative subconscious patterns of thought at the level where they live. Our subconscious mind [music] is non-judgmental and therefore accepts whatever thoughts we give it. [music] Our conscious mind often resists the positive affirmations because the mind believes they are not [music] true.

This is why subliminal affirmations are so powerful and effective in helping people move beyond their problems. [music] Subliminal affirmations reach the subconscious mind [music] directly without the conscious mind interfering. [music] Many of you prefer to hear my voice audibly and also many people want to know [music] consciously what the subliminal affirmations are that we use.

So on this side of the tape, I will declare these positive [music] affirmations. On side two, all you will consciously hear [music] will be music and various sounds of nature while your subconscious [music] mind receives my voice giving you these positive, loving statements of truth. [music] I recommend that you listen to this tape every day for at least 30 days to receive optimum benefits.

Give that to your child. No matter how old you are or how sick or how scared, your little child needs to be wanted and loved. Keep telling your child, "I want you and I love you.

" It is the truth for you. The universe wants you here. And that's why you are here.

You've always been loved and will always be love throughout eternity. You can live [music] happily ever after. And so it is.

I am willing to love and to be loved. I see myself prosper. I see myself healthy.

I see myself creatively fulfilled. [music] And I live in peace and safety. Send everyone you know thoughts of comfort and acceptance [music] and support and love.

Be aware that as you send these thoughts out, you also receive them back. Envelop your family in a circle of love. Whether they are living or not, include your friends, the people at work, and everyone from your past, and all the people you would like to forgive, but don't know how.

Send love to everyone with AIDS and cancer. And to the friends and lovers, hospice workers, doctors, nurses, alternative therapists, and caretakers. Let's see an [music] end to AIDS and cancer and other terminal illnesses.

In your mind's eye, see a headline that reads, "Cure for cancer found. Cure for AIDS found. " Put yourself in this circle of love.

Forgive yourself. Affirm that you have wonderful harmonious relationships with your parents. where there is mutual respect and caring on both sides.

Let the circle of love envelop the entire planet. And let your heart open so you can find that space within you where there is unconditional love. See everyone living with dignity and in peace and joy.

You are worth loving. You are beautiful. You are powerful.

You open yourself to all good. And so it is. [music] [music] We are free [music] to be ourselves.

In order to be whole, we must accept all of ourselves. So let your heart open [music] and make plenty of room in there for all the parts of yourself. The parts that you are proud of and the [music] parts that embarrass you.

The parts you reject and the parts you love. They are all of you. You are beautiful.

We all are. When your heart is full of love for yourself, [music] then you have so much to share with others. [music] Let this love now fill your room and permeate out to all the people that you know.

Put the people you want [music] in the center of your room. so that they can receive the love from your overflowing [music] heart, from your child to theirs. Now see all the children in all the people dancing as children dance, skipping and shouting and turning somersaults and cartwheels filled [music] with exuberant joy, expressing all the best of the child within.

and let your child go and play with the other children. Let your child dance. Let your child feel safe [music] and free.

Let your child be all that it ever wanted to be. You are perfect, whole, and complete. And all is well in your wonderful [music] world.

And so it is See your inner child in any way that you can and notice how it looks and feels. Comfort your child. Apologize [music] to it.

Tell it how sorry you are for forsaking it. You have been away for so long and you [music] are now willing to make it up. Promise this little child that you will never ever leave them again.

Anytime it wants, it can reach out and touch you and you will be there. If it is scared, [music] you will hold it. If it is angry, it is okay to express the [music] anger.

Tell it you love it very much. You have the power to [music] help create the kind of world that you want you [music] and your child to live in. You have the power of your mind and your thoughts.

See yourself creating a wonderful world. See your child relaxed and [music] safe, peaceful, laughing, happy, playing with [music] friends, running free, touching a flower, hugging a tree. picking a piece of fruit and eating it with delight.

See the two of you healthy and living in a beautiful safe place, having wonderful relationships with your parents, friends, and co-workers. Being greeted with joy wherever you go.

Having a special kind of love. See where you want to live and what you want to work at [music] and see yourselves as healthy, very healthy, joyous and [music] free. And so it is.

>> [music] [music] [music] [music] >> The sound that you're hearing at the moment is my voice that has been [music] electronically processed. best to bring out the healing qualities in [music] it. So, let it just flow through your mind and through your body.

[music] Now, we've talked of many things tonight. We brought a lot of stuff to the surface. [music] We stirred up the pot and that's wonderful.

>> [music] >> We'll just let everything settle in. You don't have to believe everything. You don't have to accept everything [music] in the perfect time space sequence.

That which you need will rise to the surface. [music] Each one of us has the ability to love ourselves more. [music] Each one of us deserves to be loved.

We deserve to live well, [music] to be healthy, to be loved and loving, to prosper. [music] And that little baby deserves to grow up to a wonderful, wonderful life. [music] So see yourself [music] surrounded by love.

[music] See yourself happy and healthy and whole. [music] And see yourself as you would like your life to be. [music] Put in all the details.

[music] [music] Know that you deserve it. [music] Create a visualization to go with it. A mental [music] picture that supports this.

[music] [music] And then take the love from your own heart [music] and let it begin to flow filling your body. >> [music] >> and then moving out from you on either side of you. Let the love flow on your left to the people on your left.

[music] Send that person comforting thoughts. [music] Surround them with love and support [music] and wish them well. >> [music] >> And then let the love from your own heart move out to the right [music] to that person there.

Surround them with healing energies [music] and love and peace and light. >> [music] >> And then let your love begin to flow around this room [music] into the overflow room and back in here. So that moves round and round [music] till we are in an absolutely enormous [music] circle of love.

Feel [music] the love circulate you. It goes out [music] from you, comes back to you, multiply. [music] [music] The most powerful healing form there is [music] is love.

And we let it circulate over [music] and over and over again. Let it wash through your body [music] and continue to move. We are in [music] a beautiful circle of love.

[music] You can take this love with you out into the world [music] and share it with everyone you meet. Maybe not out loud but silently. [music] Love [music] yourself.

Love each other. Love the planet. [music] And know that we are all one.

We are all and so it is. I thank [music] you. We hear over and over again how important it is to love ourselves.

We are aware that love is the most powerful healing force there is. And yet, no matter how hard we try to love ourselves, many of us keep hitting a brick wall, something is in the way. It seems impossible for us to break through.

We begin to believe that we just can't love who we are, that there must be something wrong with us, or perhaps we're not worth loving. This frustration and anger at our own inability to do what we know is so important to us can lead to depression. We can feel hopeless.

And yet, there is an answer. There is something we can do to open the most stubborn doorway to love. We can forgive.

Forgiveness opens the doorway to love so that love may flow most abundantly in our life. I have noticed that when the door to love seems to be stuck, it is usually because there is someone or something that we are unwilling to forgive. Yes, it may be true that in the past we have had a very unpleasant experience and that is so unfortunate.

However, it is not unforgivable. Forgiveness is a gift to ourselves for it sets us free. When we refuse to forgive, we sit in a prison of self-righteous resentment and stay stuck in the past.

And this hurts only ourselves. The other person may not even know we are in pain. I know that you can heal your heart now and that you are worth loving.

Here is something we can do to change things. Let's take a little journey to clean out the pockets of bitterness that may still reside within you. Close your eyes and let's walk down into a valley.

Going down is always symbolic of going into your subconscious [music] mind to do the clearing work. As you descend into this valley, you notice [music] with delight how very beautiful it is. Lush and green, flowers everywhere, birds and butterflies, trees and a gentle stream.

Find [music] a comfortable place to sit on the bank of this stream and settle down and just relax. It is so peaceful and safe here. It's a wonderful place for letting go, for forgiving.

Ask yourself, [music] what is the hardest thing to forgive? And remember the pain that incident [music] caused you. Where are you carrying it in your body now?

How long have you been carrying that pain? In this very safe place, allow yourself to take the pain out of your [music] body and hold it in your hands. Look at it from every angle.

How big is it? What color is this pain? Does it have a sound, a smell, a taste?

Do you really want to keep it any longer? Are you willing to let it go now? Gently place this pain in the stream and watch the [music] current dissolve it and take it away.

All that hurt and suffering is being dispersed, made harmless as it drifts away out of sight. Feel the water flowing against your hand, washing it clean. And notice how glad you are that you have released that old junk.

Now take another incident. Really relive it. Feel for a moment that pain and hurt.

Take a [music] breath and step back in your mind and look at the incident from the other person's point of [music] view. Does it look the same from that angle? Now [music] take another breath and look at the situation [music] from an observer's point of view.

Someone who is watching both of you and is totally objective. Is that also another point of view? Every [music] time you look at the experience from a different angle, you get a different reaction.

Who is right and who is wrong? Is anyone really right or wrong? Let's just take that whole incident, the other party, the old you, the incident, and the observer.

[music] And let them all gently submerge into the stream, dissolving and disappearing [music] as they drift away. Let it go. Let it slip away until it is gone from sight and from your emotional grasp.

Give yourself a moment of peace on the bank of the river. Lay back against the grass and breathe. Who is the hardest person to forgive and why?

If you really wanted to forgive this person, you know, you could. What is it you want to hold on to? Would you rather be right or would you rather be happy?

[music] Perhaps you have held this pain long enough and now it is safe enough for you to let it go. What would you be willing to give [music] in return for releasing this negativity? Could you give understanding [music] for abandonment?

Could you give compassion [music] for the abuse and betrayal? Could you give acceptance for rejection? Could you just forgive and let go?

Are you willing to change your old beliefs of I am worth abusing to I am worth cherishing? How willing are you [music] to give up these old negative ideas for the new freedom that forgiveness can bring you? Once again, just release all of this pain.

Drp all of this bitterness into the river. Let the person go. Release them.

Set them free. and say to them, "I forgive you for not being the way I wanted you to be. I forgive you and I set you free.

" And then let the whole experience go. Wash yourself [music] free of every vestage of the past. See blocks and barriers drifting down [music] the stream.

Watch them go. They are no part of you anymore. You are cleansed and you are free.

>> [music] >> Heat. Heat. >> [music] >> at any time.

You can go through your mind and find other places where unforgiveness resides. And you can take each incident or person [music] and hold them in your hands and look at them and decide if you are willing to be totally free. Now [music] I forgive you and I set you free.

I forgive you and I set myself free. Then in your [music] mind, place each one in the river and see them dissolve as they drift down the stream. Let them go.

Let it all go. Forgive and release the whole world. Now you can step into the stream yourself for a moment.

Let yourself be totally immersed for an instant and then stand up in the water and declare for yourself, I am forgiven. I am forgiven and I am free. Your mind, your heart, your whole body is being cleansed of all the negative debris.

The weight has been taken away. You can see it floating down the stream, never to return. What a relief.

What a joy. As you come back up the bank, notice how light and free you feel. The sunshine [music] looks brighter and dries you instantly.

colors and the sounds are more vivid. The world is more beautiful. And you know you are entitled to miracles.

Now that you are free, what miracle would you like? See in your mind clearly something wonderful that you would like to have happen in your life. and know that it is now possible.

As you walk up out of the valley, having left the old patterns behind, feel the space opening [music] in your heart. Feel the love in your heart beginning to flow. There is nothing to stop it now.

You feel so peaceful, so alive, so willing to love and so very free. You have forgiven. You have been forgiven.

Life looks good and you know that all is well in your world. This is Louise Haye and I love you.
