Sample Thought: I CAN RELEASE THE PAST AND FORGIVE EVERYONE. I free myself and everyone in my life from old, past hurts. They are free and I am free to move into new, glorious experiences.

"It's made a difference in my life"
I thought that this would be an interesting way to use affirmations, but what I have found is a powerful tool that is helping to change me to be a more positive person. Since I have started to listen to this, I have found that I am more open to new thoughts and more positive with my relationships. This is such a positive, self-affirming set of thoughts!
"YES!"
101 Power Thoughts is packed with excellent affirmations! Since I can only manage two 15 min sessions a day I really prefer a slightly faster pace.
Also: Her tape "What I Believe and Deep Relaxation" is also excellent moves at a slower pace and has an awesome 15 min. meditation that is also super charged with positive affirmations.
"too loud music/fast speed drown the great thoughts"
The thoughts are great, especially if you are a Louise Hay fan. However, this particular audio book is annoying from a technological perspective. The background music is too loud and almost drowns out the all-important thoughts. Also, the speed of the audio is a tad too fast. Rather than enjoying listening to it, I feel my heart rate speeding up because of the speed of spoken word and music and the volume of the music. I don't know that I will actually listen to it as often as I had hoped. Too bad we can't separate the background music from the spoken word.
"Perfect! - One to cherish"
Like Wayne Dyer, this collection of thoughts will (mostly) resonate. I like listening to this in traffic or after a real heavy day. Its different to most books, because you don't actually have to listen to each thought, and if you miss out on one idea, there's always another just round the corner.
I would class this book as almost meditative in nature.
"Will Soothe and Comfort"
I notice Louise has many books and audios out. This was one audio I bought because of its cost--ended up being a great value.
This is one good audio of many affirmations that either I can accept or ponder on. The affirmations are accompanied by some peaceful piano music. I especially like to ponder on some of the affirmations to see whether they apply or not to my life. Or whether I can extend the affirmations to other aspects of my life.
I like to listen to Louise when working on something a bit stressful or when I'm tending towards negative thoughts. Sometimes its just good to have someone remind me of the many great things about me or how many of the negative things in life are actually seeds for future growth.
Whats interesting is that I do feel powerful after listening to her soothing voice. And her voice and emphasis are genuinely caring and thoughtful, not just a marketing pitch.
Also, Louise Hay runs Hayhouse Radio, a station with many weekly discussions between certain authors like Wayne Dyer and everyday people calling in.
I also have gone to the bookstore and see that her books are well written and mature. It's a guide for buying some more of her audio books. I read more on Louise to find she is real product of her work.
Nothing better than someone who nows what it's like to go from the bottom to a glorious life.
"I Love you, Louise!"
I listen to this audiobook every night while I get ready for bed. I am filled with peace. I have found that over time I have shifted from my previously negative thinking to thinking that is much more positive. In general, I feel MUCH better about myself and the world. Listening to the title once was enlightening, but letting the messages steep down into my subconscious by incorporating them into my daily routine is how I've been able to make substantive changes in my life. "I love you."
"Food for the soul and more..."
When I listen to Louise's power thoughts, I feel less stress, more love and more peace. I've also seen some positive changes in my life which came about without much effort on my side, except for listening to Louise...so I warmly recomend it to everyone.
"Louise, you are wonderful! Thank you!"
I play this as background music any time..... when I am getting dressed, driving, exercising.....It will change your life.
"Fast Acting Happy Thoughts Book"
Absolutely, because no matter where you are such as in traffic or working on a grueling project at work you can turn on this book and have positive reinforcements playing in your ear reminding you to keep your thoughts powerful,positive and happy. A book BFF that gives you a motivating push to keep your thoughts where they should and where they serve you best.
Just how powerful your thoughts are and by listening to these positive uplifting thoughts it makes the day or life seem more tolerable.
I have listened to many audio's by Louise Hay and her voice alone is so comforting and positive. Her life story is inspiring and motivating. Her advice and thoughts/beliefs of life are simple and make sense. This book is a great pick me up.
This brings me back to the thoughts and person I strive to be when having a bad day or thinking negatively about another or a situation. Very inspiring and uplifting.
"it is powerful thouhgts"
When I am looking for some time to relax and thought properly, I always listen to this tape.
