Accept Perfect Health Right Now (Louise Hay)

[Guest guest]

"Accept Perfect Health Right Now" Written by Louise L. Hay "Your body knows how to heal itself. If you feed it healthy foods and beverages, give it exercise and sufficient sleep, and think happy thoughts, then its work is easy. The cells are working in a happy, healthy environment. However, if you're a couch potato who feeds your body junk food and lots of diet soda, and you skimp on sleep and are grouchy and irritable all day, then the cells in your body are working at a disadvantage. They're in a disagreeable atmosphere. "If you want to create better health in your body, there are definitely some things you mustn't do. You must not get angry with your body for any reason. Anger is another affirmation (yes, affirmations can be negative!) and it's telling your body that you hate it, or parts of it. Your cells are very aware of every thought you have. Think of your

body as a servant that's working as hard as it can to keep you in perfect health no matter how you treat it. "Good health comes from love and appreciation. You want to put as much love into your body as you possibly can. Talk to it and stroke it in loving ways. If there's a part of your body that's ailing or dis-eased, then you want to treat it as you would a sick little child. Tell it how much you love it and that you're doing everything you can to help it get well quickly. "If you're sick, then you want to do more than just go to the doctor and have him or her give you a chemical to take care of the symptom. Your body is telling you that something you're doing isn't good for it. You need to learn more about health -- the more you learn, the easier it is to take care of your body. You don't want to choose to feel like a victim. If you do, you'll just be giving your power away. You could go to a health-food

store and pick up one of the many good books that teach you how to keep yourself healthy, or you could see a nutritionist and have a healthy diet created just fo you. But whatever you do, create a healthy, happy mental atmosphere. Be a willing participant in your own health plan. "Learn to accept that your life is not a series of random events, but a pathway of awakening. If you live every day in this way, you'll never grow old. You'll just keep growing. Imagine the day you turn 49 as the infancy of another life. A woman who reaches age 50 today and remains free of cancer and heart dis-ease can expect to see her 92nd birthday. Here are some of my favorite affirmations about health: "I make healthy choices, I have respect for myself." "I enjoy the foods that I eat. I love every cell of my body." "I am pain free and totally in sync with

life." "Perfect health is my divine right and I claim it now." "You and only you have the ability to customize your own life cycle. So change your thinking NOW and get going!" Louise L.
