Mirror work and affirmations from Hay House's Louise Hay
Hay House first published Louise Hay's book in 1984. It proposes that the mind and body are connected, so that physical illness has roots in beliefs and thought patterns. It emphasizes changing one's thinking, using tools such as mirror work and affirmations. It ends with a section listing illnesses and the emotional thought patterns Hay associates with them, material derived from her earlier book Heal Your Body, which grew out of a 1979 pamphlet.
