In this book, Louise is explaining us about how our limiting thoughts, beliefs, and negative emotions affect us and how it is linked to our physical diseases. And also provide us the insights into the relationship between mind and body.

The main idea or can say the Key idea of this book is “ if we are ready to do our mental work, then almost anything can be healed” The issues about which Louise talk about in this book is related to relationship, money, body, And all these issues starts with the belief that we are not good enough, and we just can’t do anything, and this is our belief which creates and forms our lives, and the fact is the moment we start loving ourselves is the moment we have the ability or can say have the key to heal ourselves,

With proper and right mental work, we can heal almost every aspect of our lives and can bring the positive outcome in any area we desire. Hay has written this book the same way she would have taken the client through sessions or a workshop,  each chapter starts with an affirmation and includes one or more exercises and treatments.

1. The root cause of the problem? What is the actual disease?

The root and the most common problem is the fundamental belief that “ I am not good enough” and lack of self-love.

Example, the most common belief is related to money is that I am not good enough to earn money in my life, or I don’t have friends or people don’t love me, and the tendency  of impressing other people comes from the belief  “I never get my way.”

2. Now the question arises where do these beliefs come from?

So to answer these belief and various other things like who we are? Or on which rules we must live by? All these things and thinking come under us when we are very young and we get influenced by the people and adult around us, and as we grow we tent to re-create our lives around these beliefs,

For this Hay recommends several exercises and ask us to shift From”I SHOULD” to “I COULD”, And ask us to identify where some of our limiting beliefs come from and also ask us to realize that we have a choice.

3. Now Another question arises Are our beliefs even true?

Beliefs like boys never cry, boys don’t feel the pain, these all beliefs are not the actual fact, or you cant do this because you are not good at it, these influence make us believe in all this and hence it becomes reality for us, hence we should examine if they are true, to begin with, If they were true in the past, some beliefs when we were very young we shouldn’t talk to strangers, were true but it was past, and now at present maybe things are not same , Hence letting go false and old beliefs is the step towards changing our lives.

4. Change? How to change?

Here we start when we are willing to change and by overcoming the natural resistance to change, And next thing which we do is to learn to control our minds and thoughts and learn to forgive ourselves and others.

We must nurture the willingness to change, and change starts when we are willing to change ourselves from inside before our outer circumstances will change, The process of healing starts the moment we think about making a change,

Here hay offers an exercise “willing to change” to identify the source which is not allowing you to change and to use affirmation to let go that resistance.

Hay Says To Reshape your belief, here reshaping our beliefs means Something Like Mental house cleaning, in this what we are asked to do is, to examine our thoughts and belief and to go to each mental room and to decide which one to keep, remove and change or polish.
