first KEY POINT
Can your state of mind influence your physical state?
Life isn’t just the body that you carry, it’s the way you think and what goes on inside your brain.A positive mindset can help you to overcome many mental health problems, but can it do the same for physical problems? Could repeating a positive affirmation every day and focusing on a specific mental block really help to shift an ailment, such as nose bleeds?Louise L. Hay certainly thinks so, and with her own personal experience of overcoming a cancer diagnosis, she has written this book to help others unblock their own minds and create power within themselves.
When you notice a physical ailment, do you believe your physical body manifested it, or your mind? The way we feel on the inside can often dictate what happens to our body and the problems we encounter from a physical point of view.
Throughout the book, every ailment mentioned has a mental cause, e.g. feeling lost, feeling out of control, and an affirmation given to help unblock that problem. Of course, you also need to focus on why you feel that way and look toward your inner self for guidance. By doing this, Louise is certain that the power of your mind can unlock the power of the Universe, allowing you to overcome a physical problem that has been causing you issues for a long time.

Influencing those around you; are you picking up on vibes?
As children grow, they’re influenced by the adults around them, such as parents and teachers. The things which children see and hear influence the way they feel about themselves and this can stick with them as they grow into adults themselves. If these things are distinctly negative, they soak them up like a sponge, manifesting later in life as an ailment and mental block.Louise also points out that animals are the same. Both children and animals are so open to everything around them, naive and gentle in spirit, assuming that everything they see and hear to be true. This makes them prime targets for absorbing negative traits and being influenced by those around them.
