Louise Hays "you can heal your life" is the metaphysical version of the teachings of the Church of Scientology and/or the Christian Scientists. Louise Hays claims to have healed herself of cancer??? According to her, we have chosen the life, including choosing the head injury, that we are living.
Before jumping up to get the book, I read some of the positive and negative reviews on Amazon. Wow, what a diverse range of opinions.
I have had many of those magic times where after having a rough length of time, my brain seems to flip a switch and work. I underwent one of those changes last week. Two months ago, I suffered another concussion when a engine part hit me in the head. I was a space cadet up until last Tuesday. All of a sudden, I woke up in the morning feeling like I had my brain back.
Again, great to hear you are doing so well. Stay strong with your attitudes and behaviors to keep this improvement going.
My best to you.

Actually the book is just something that i thought was a good idea with positivity. However, I think the true reason I'm doing so well, is that I've been doing daily Healing Touch and that is making all the difference. Feels very similar to acupuncture and uses similar principles...but the effects last all day long when i do treatments on myself morning and night. There is no religious principles unless you want to bring that into your sessions. I've had healing touch practitioners working on me as well for the past 3 weeks and they have done wonders for my headaches.
I've seen some pretty miraculous healing touch treatments at my hospital. Our doctors prescribe it for our post op patients for pain control in conjunction with pain medication. We've done numerous studies at our hospital with our integrative medicine team and have had wonderful results. Our cardiac patients show the greatest impact on recovery using healing touch as opposed to not having it. Dr Guareneri wrote a book about it called "the Heart Speaks". She is an interventional cardiologist who has become the head of our integrative medicine team. Shes won numerous awards for her work in making our 5 hospitals so successful with Healing Touch and other complementary modalities. My neurologist is very aware of HT and she told me last week at our last appt that she regularly orders Healing Touch for her stroke and brain injured patients because she sees such a great success in pain control when she cant order narcotics due to hourly neuro assessments. She is very aware of the wonderful results and is beyond happy that my change in my recovery comes at the same time that I began to take Healing Touch Level 1 and practicing these techniques every day. Level2 is in 2 weeks and I cant wait. 2 full days of others giving me wonderful relaxation treatments...its like its your birthday and you get to feel amazing all day!
