Background
I qualified in Remedial Massage in 1971 and I also give reflexology and vacuflex treatments to clients at Mind Body Spirit, the therapy and training centre and shop in Westbourne, Dorset, I co-own with my son, Mark.
During the course of these therapies I noticed that some clients did not recover as quickly as I would have liked, although they received the appropriate treatment from me and other medical and health professionals. It was at that time I came across “You Can Heal Your Life” by Louise L. Hay.
At the back of the book there was a chart relating to various health conditions, possible thought patterns that may have contributed to the condition and solutions by way of affirmations. This seemed unbelievable, but as an ongoing experiment I tested the theory on willing clients. It became apparent that although some people wanted to get well, they could be reluctant to accept that their thoughts may have actually been creating the problem. So I just carried on and gave them the healing affirmation, only to find they became better quicker and they eventually realised that they had been holding on to limiting beliefs.
Inpired by this discovery, I decided to run Louise Hay Courses at the Mind Body Spirit centre and share the life-changing beliefs and attitudes this offered.
