Happy Labor Day!


On August 30, 2017, an amazing woman named Louise Hay passed away at the age of 90. Beginning in 1976 at the age of 50, Louise wrote revolutionary books that introduced millions to the idea of the power of the mind. The book “You Can Heal Your Life” has helped me learn to transform negative thoughts into helpful affirmations in an ongoing journey of self improvement and spiritual development.

On Labor Day, many Americans enjoy an extended weekend as we celebrate all workers’ achievements and contributions to our nation. Louise Hay’s reflections on work, success and prosperity are indispensible to anyone who wants to improve their professional life. The chapter on “Work” begins with today’s affirmation “I am deeply fulfilled by all that I do” then goes on to give the reader a mental path toward that fulfillment.

The butterfly is a universal symbol of transformation. Butterfly / Bound Angle Pose (Badhha Konasana) gently opens the hips – a place where most of us hold fearful emotions that can block our ability to enact change in our lives. To practice Butterfly Pose, sit on the floor and clasp the soles of your feet together with your hands. Your legs are spread like butterfly wings. Sit up straight and breathe in deeply. Breathe out and press your heels together. Notice how your knees naturally relax down.

Rest in peace, Louise, and thank you. Namaste.
