Years ago, the homeopath I was working with introduced me to to Louise Hay's book You Can Heal Your Life. When I was first exposed to her work, I was definitely resistant. It didn't make sense to me to say affirmations that didn't feel true. It wasn't until I read more of her philosophy that I realized what she said was right - we are affirming our experience all the time, whether we're talking about it "negatively" or "positively."
Given that I'm such a huge advocate of health, I was also fascinated with the language, body, and health connection. Every time, without fail, the health imbalances pointed out in her book matched exactly the issues that I or my clients were facing. When I practiced the affirmations, I noticed an immediate difference in my overall health and the specific health challenge I had.
Here are some of my favorite health affirmations from her I Can Do It book:
"I enjoy the foods that are best for my body. I love every cell of my body."
"I look forward to a healthy old age because I take loving care of my body now."
"Healing happens! I get my mind out of the way and allow the intelligence of my body to do its healing work naturally."
"I trust my intuition. I am willing to listen to that still, small voice within."
"I devote a portion of my time to helping others. It is good for my own health."
"I breathe deeply and fully. I take in the breath of life, and I am nourished."
I make healthy choices. I have respect for myself."
