You Can Heal Your Life: The Movie! (Article & Info)

[Guest guest]

" There's only one way to conclude Hay House's year-long 20th Anniversary

celebration as the international leader in inspirational and self-help

publishing --- with a big bang!!

" For the grand finale of our commemorative year, Hay House is proud to

announce the debut of the first-ever film on the life and work of our much-loved

founder, Louise L. Hay --

YOU CAN HEAL YOUR LIFE: THE MOVIE! "

" As a special thanks to all who have supported Louise's work and our Hay House

mission to help heal the planet, we'll be presenting the world premier preview

of " YOU CAN HEAL YOUR LIFE: THE MOVIE " -- directed by Emmy award winner

Goorjian -- on Friday and Saturday, October 12 and 13, 2007 for all attendees at

the " I CAN DO IT! Conference " in Tampa, Florida. In recognition of this

occasion, Louise along with 30 authors will be on hand to witness this

auspicious event.

" I've become so delighted with this project, " Louise said about her film

debut, " I've noticed that women in the film industry who are 35 are usually too

old to get a part. But I'm 80 and I'm doing my first movie . . . and I'm the

star. It's very, very exciting. "

" There are few people we meet in our lifetime whose presence and effervescent

spirit fills us instantly with an abundance of energy and love. Louise Hay is

one of those rare people who radiates peace and seems to make time stand still.

And when the prospect of a movie about her life and her work came to fruition,

the unanimous response from all who have been touched by Louise's caring nature

and generous desire to help others was ----

" It's about time! "

" It all started more than 30 years ago when Louise saw how people let illness

and hurtful circumstances control their lives. She vowed to help them see that

the root of their pain stemmed from their own negative thoughts. So, she sat

down and wrote a little blue pamphlet where she described how our mental

patterns and beliefs can actually contribute to illness in our body. She even

listed various medical conditions, explained what thoughts correlated with them,

and showed us that the way to heal our lives was just a positive thought away.

" Louise had a simple message that she wanted to share: " The body, like

everything else in life, is a mirror of our inner thoughts and beliefs. Every

cell within your body responds to every single thought you think and every word

you speak. "

" Little did she know that this tiny blue book, which she incorporated into her

second book, " You Can Heal Your Life " would change the world and its way of

thinking. YOU CAN HEAL YOUR LIFE, published in 1984, has been translated into 29

different languages, is available in more than 35 countries, and to date has

sold more than 35 million copies around the world.

" In the later decades of her life, Louise has touched hundreds of thousands of

lives with her groundbreaking wisdom and her generous heart. Now you can see

this firsthand in YOU CAN HEAL YOUR LIFE: THE MOVIE, which presents some of the

most fascinating and memorable moments of Louise's life.

" In this film, you learn about Louise's early days and the events that lead

her to where she is today. You see, through personal interviews, how Louise

teaches us to look within and heal ourselves. And you glimpse back to the time

when Louise launched her successful book publishing company from a small bedroom

in her home when she self-published her " little blue book. "

" You also discover many things that you may not know about Louise --- how she

opened doors for women in the publishing business and the inspirational speaking

circuit and how she broke barriers by reaching out to the men and women

afflicted with AIDS during a time when much of the world left them behind.

" You meet the woman who wakes up every day and proclaims her love for everyone

and everything in her path, the woman who popularized " affirmations, " the woman

who shakes hands with presidents, dignitaries, celebrities, and who always has

an affectionate hug for fans who run up to her at a public appearance or Hay

House event to thank her for " saving my life. " And when she embraces them,

she'll insist, " It wasn't me. It was YOU. "

" The best way to learn about Louise and the impact of her work is to listen to

others describe the many ways she has helped shape their lives. " Louise has been

a profoundly positive influence in my life, and she is one of my greatest

teachers, " notes longtime Hay House author Doreen Virtue. " Louise is one of the

most powerful persons I have ever met, and I am truly blessed to have spent time

with her. I'm so pleased that this movie will allow you the joy of spending time

with Louise, too. "

" Best-selling author Gregg Braden adds, " I was working as a defense systems

computer engineer during the last years of the Cold War when I first read

Louise's book, " You Can Heal Your Life. It came to me at a turning point in my

life and I found it so beautiful, so powerful, and so true. Through the simple

elegance that's the hallmark of her work, Louise put words to my view of a life

philosophy that includes compassionate self-healing. Now, 20 years later, I'm

not only honored to be part of the Hay House family, but I'm blessed to know the

woman who gives so much in the world, and who touched my life during such a

pivotal time in such a special way. "

" A number of luminaries in the fields of self-help and health and spirituality

and new thought -- including Doreen Virtue, Gregg Braden, Wayne W. Dyer, Gay

Hendricks, Esther & Jerry Hicks, Leon Nacson, Dr. Christiane Northrup, Dr.

Candace B. Pert, Cheryl , Dr. Mona Schulz, and many others share

their personal stories about Louise's impact on their lives in YOU CAN HEAL YOUR

LIFE: THE MOVIE.

" It's an honor to be part of a film that celebrates the work of an amazing

woman who has done so much for so many, " says best-selling author and renowned

life coach Cheryl , " Louise is a bright light whose wisdom started me

on my journey of awakening. It's exciting to think that even more people will be

blessed with her message of hope and strength. "

" How does one put into words the effect Louise L. Hay has had on one's life?

To do the subject justice, a book the size of THE COMPLETE WORKS OF SHAKESPEARE

wouldn't be enough, " adds author Leon Nacson, who also heads up Hay House's

Australia office. " Louise has demonstrated that words have power, and that power

should not be misused or abused.

" One of my earliest recollections of a mistake I made which I've never

repeated is I said to Louise, 'Why don't we do this, and that way we'll kill two

birds with one stone?' Louise replied, 'Why would you want to kill two innocent,

beautiful birds?'

" In that moment I suddenly realized two things: 1) Louise really walks her

talk, and 2) She's right. Why would I want to harm my favorite animals?

" To be included in the YOU CAN HEAL YOUR LIFE movie is so exciting because it

feels like making a family movie. The book has been part of my life as a

publisher, colleague and facilitator for almost 20 years. To be part of this

evolution of the message feels like a natural progression, " Leon continues,

" Louise trusted me and my family with her very good name in Australia and New

Zealand. That trust honors us every moment of our lives. "

" Leading women's health expert, Dr. Christiane Northrup was also eager to

share her experience: " I recently had the opportunity to take part in this film

about Louise Hay -- one of my genuine, longtime, ravishingly alive heroines!

Imagine the impact that Louise made on me with her first little blue book: HEAL

YOUR BODY -- THE MENTAL CAUSES OF PHYSICAL DISEASE AND THE METAPHYSICAL WAY TO

OVERCOME THEM: " I used to keep that book hidden away in my desk drawer when I

started my medical practice. " Dr. Northrup adds, " Though I'm well-trained in

Western medicine, I knew that Louise (a high school dropout, no less) knew more

about health and wellness than I did! From that time on, Louise has been a

shining beacon of fun, hope, and health. Louise is a trailblazing goddess whose

vision continues to uplift and inspire me -- and millions of others -- each and

every day! "

" One of the most interesting aspects of filming YOU CAN HEAL YOUR LIFE: THE

MOVIE is the impact that Louise had on the lives of film director

Goorjian and crew, " One of the things that was so interesting to me was that

and the film crew knew nothing about this way of thinking or this way of

approaching life. We spent several hours during the first few shoots at my house

where I was talking about my work. And I know at the end of the day, they were

saying something like, 'Well, she's a nice old lady, but she's crazy!' " Louise

recalled with a laugh.

" And I remember one of the last nights of the shoot in Las Vegas, the film

crew got together after dinner and talked for four hours about my work. My

thought is now they're in editing and they get to go over it over and over

again. And I know that we changed the lives of that film crew, They will not be

the same people. "

" Here's how Hay House author and cofounder of THE SPIRITUAL CINEMA Gay

Hendricks explains it. (Gay was also instrumental in helping put this film

together.) " When I began making movies, I decided I would only work on projects

that went beyond entertainment to become vehicles of positive life-change for

people. Making a movie based on YOU CAN HEAL YOUR LIFE, which has been a beacon

of inspiration, hope and healing for millions of people, is a dream come true

for me. The miracle of this movie began almost from the day we started shooting

it. Members of the crew -- many of whom are new to the concept that changing

your thoughts can change your life -- have already experienced profound,

positive changes in their lives just from working on the project, This is truly

a movie that changes lives. "

" YOU CAN HEAL YOUR LIFE: THE MOVIE, which is hosted by Louise, offers not only

an intimate look into her moving and inspirational life story, but also a

special segment devoted to helping YOU apply Louise's affirmations and

groundbreaking wisdom to heal your own life and the challenges that you face

today,

" This movie is the story of my life, my teachings and how I've applied the

principles of my teachings to my own life, " Louise explains, " I've made enormous

changes in my own life that I had no idea would be possible. "

" This movie is a winner! "

" When asked what message she hoped people would take with them after seeing

YOU CAN HEAL YOUR LIFE: THE MOVIE, Louise said, " I'd like to see them discover

what they can really do for themselves, People are so hungry to learn how to

take control of their lives. "

" The preview of YOU CAN HEAL YOUR LIFE: THE MOVIE will be on Friday and

Saturday, October 12 and 13 at the I CAN DO IT! Tampa Conference and Louise

would love to see you there. " I will be celebrating my 81st birthday then and

having the time of my life, " she enthuses. " This movie is a inner, I know it

will explode and go worldwide, and so it is! "

" Additional details on the world premier of YOU CAN HEAL YOUR LIFE: THE MOVIE

will be sent to all attendees prior to the I CAN DO IT! Tampa Conference. If

" Many thanks to each of you who continue to embrace and support Louise's

wisdom. Let's affirm that YOU CAN HEAL YOUR LIFE: THE MOVIE will reach hundreds

of thousands more people in every corner of the world so they, too, can learn to

heal their lives.
