Now, in Mirror Work, she shows how in just 21 days, you can master this simple but powerful practice as an ongoing support for positive transformation and self-care.

An essential self-care guidebook from the New York Times bestselling author of You Can Heal Your Life

Louise Hay's 21-day signature daily practice for learning how to love yourself, based on her most popular video course, Loving Yourself

Mirror work has long been Louise Hay's favourite method for cultivating a deeper relationship with yourself and leading a more peaceful and meaningful life. The Mirror Principle, one of Louise's core teachings, holds that our experience of life mirrors our relationship with ourselves; unless we see ourselves as lovable, the world can be a dark and lonely place.

Mirror work—looking at oneself in a mirror and repeating positive affirmations—was Louise's powerful method for learning to love oneself and experience the world as a safe and loving place. Each of the 21 days is organised around a theme, such as monitoring self-talk, overcoming fear, releasing anger, healing relationships, forgiving self and others, receiving prosperity, and living stress-free. The daily programme involves an exercise in front of the mirror, positive affirmations, journaling, an inspiring Heart Thought to ponder, and a guided meditation.

Packed with practical guidance and support, presented in Louise's warmly personal words, Mirror Work—or Mirror Play, as she likes to call it—is designed to help you:

  • Learn a deeper level of self-care
  • Gain confidence in your own inner guidance system
  • Develop awareness of your soul gifts
  • Overcome resistance to change
  • Boost self-esteem
  • Cultivate love and compassion in your relationships with self and others

In just three weeks, you will establish the practice of Mirror Work as a tool for personal growth and self-care, and a path to a full, rich life.

Mirror Work chapters include:

Week One

  • Loving Yourself
  • Making Your Mirror Your Friend
  • Monitoring Your Self-Talk
  • Letting Go of Your Past
  • Building Your Self-Esteem
  • Releasing Your Inner Critic

Week Two

  • Loving Your Inner Child - Part One
  • Loving Your Inner Child - Part Two
  • Loving Your Body, Healing Your Pain
  • Feeling Good, Releasing Your Anger
  • Overcoming Your Fear
  • Starting Your Day with Love

Week Three

  • Forgiving Yourself and Those Who Have Hurt You
  • Healing Your Relationships
  • Living Stress Free
  • Receiving Your Prosperity
  • Living Your Attitude of Gratitude
  • Teaching Mirror Work to Children
  • Loving Yourself Now

"Mirror work—looking deeply into your eyes and repeating affirmations—is the most effective method I've found for learning to love yourself and seeing the world as a safe and loving place. I have been teaching people how to do mirror work for as long as I have been teaching affirmations. The most powerful affirmations are those you say out loud when you are in front of your mirror. The mirror reflects back to you the feelings you have about yourself.

As you learn to do mirror work, you will become much more aware of the words you say and the things you do. You will learn to take care of yourself on a deeper level than you have done before.

The more you use mirrors for complimenting yourself, approving of yourself, and supporting yourself during difficult times, the deeper and more enjoyable your relationship with yourself will become."

Love,
Louise Hay

About the Author

Louise Hay was an inspirational teacher, incredible visionary and self-help pioneer who educated millions since the 1984 publication of her bestseller, You Can Heal Your Life, which has more than 50 million copies in print worldwide and spent 16 weeks on the New York Times bestsellers list. She appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show and many other TV and radio programs both in the U.S. and abroad. Renowned for demonstrating the power of affirmations to bring about self-healing and positive change, Louise was the author of more than 30 books, including the bestsellers The Power is Within You and Heal Your Body. In addition to her books, Louise produced numerous audio and video programs, card decks, online courses, and other resources for leading a healthy, joyous, and fulfilling life. Louise was dubbed "the closest thing to a living saint" by the Australian media and in 1985, Louise began her famous support group, "The Hayride," with six men diagnosed with AIDS. By 1988, the group had grown to a weekly gathering of 800 people and had moved to an auditorium in West Hollywood. In 1987, what began as a small venture in the living room of her home turned into Hay House, Inc.- the largest publisher of self-help books, events, and courses. Hay House has sold millions of books and products worldwide and now has offices in California, New York, London, Sydney, Johannesburg, and New Delhi. The non-profit Hay Foundation, established by Louise in 1986, continues to support organizations that enhance the quality of life for people, animals, and our environment.
