Photo from the article “I Am Love – Louise Hay’s Last Days, Wrapping Us All In A Warm Embrace” by Ahlea Khadro: “The final weeks and particularly the recent days before she passed, she was incredibly tender, loving, clear, surrendered and always elegant.”
24 minutes, before getting up
“Louise Hay’s Morning Meditation is the perfect way to greet each new day. This softly guided gratitude meditation will lead you through a practice of giving thanks, which leaves you feeling full and at peace with all that is right now. Using this meditation as a daily practice will bring you great comfort and restored appreciation in the daily gifts we so often take for granted. Bless your gifts, your comforts and the people you meet each day –and watch the magic that follows.”

05:10
thankful and grateful for the many
05:13
miracles we have in our everyday lives
05:17
and for the miracles that we call our
05:21
bodies too often we only concentrate on
05:27
what we do not have it blesses our
05:32
future to be thankful for what we do
05:35
have now it opens the way for the good
05:40
to flow in in ever-increasing abundance
05:48

05:52

06:24
conveniences we all have a favorite
06:29

it for being there for you do that now
06:41
then think of the miracle of the
06:44
electric light in your home how
06:48
wonderful it is to have it think of all
06:53
the things that you can use electricity
06:56
for remember our appliances are
07:03
extensions of ourselves and just as our
07:07
relationships with other people are more
07:10
wonderful when we are loving so it is
07:14
with the relationships we have with what
07:17
we call things appliances and
07:20

07:24
are in good space so mentally thank your
07:30
refrigerator for being there for keeping
07:33
your food fresh for you thank your stove
07:38
for helping you cook all those meals now
07:43

07:45
that you can bless with love do that now
07:51
[Music] 07:53
now think of that modern miracle called
07:57
your bathroom even kings and queens were
08:02
not able to experience the conveniences
08:05
we take for granted only a century ago
08:10
so bless the plumbing system that so
08:14
easily and simply removes the waste
08:17
products the hot and cold water that is
08:22
so readily available to us when we just
08:25
turn a small knob the convenience of
08:29
being able to bathe our bodies whenever
08:33
we desire these are all miracles bless
08:40
the radio you listen to and the
08:43

09:02
people all over this planet called Earth
09:05
in just a few days time it’s a miracle
09:09
that we take for granted let us be
09:15
thankful for the air that we breathe
09:18
which is so precious to us and we take
09:23
so for granted when we exhale we don’t
09:28
even think about where our next breath
09:31
is coming from
09:33
yet this incredible power that has
09:38
created us has given us enough breath to
09:42
last for as long as we shall live let us
09:49
be thankful for the sunshine and the
09:53
rain without the rain the vegetation
09:57
would die and we would have a barren
10:00
planet without beauty or food let us be
10:07
thankful for the wind that clears the
10:09
skies and the beauty of the moonlight
10:15
bless the vegetation that feeds and
10:18
nourishes you whenever I eat I bless the
10:24
food with love and I thank it for giving
10:28
its life to nourish me now think of the
10:34
clothing you wear think of the infinite
10:38
choices we have of colors and fabrics to
10:42
adorn and comfort our bodies if it is
10:46
hot we can choose light cool clothing if
10:51
it is cold we can choose warm cozy
10:55
fabrics to comfort us think of the
11:00
miracle called walking how wonderful it
11:05
is to be able to get up and to move to
11:09
another place by walking thank your feet
11:14
for taking you so many places in the
11:18
world
11:21
then look at all the other forms of
11:24
transportation we have to choose from
11:28
and be thankful for
11:33
there are rollerskates and skateboards
11:37
and bicycles and buses and trucks and
11:42
automobiles and trains and airplanes and
11:47
ships that sail upon the waters we have
11:51
our choice and we take them so for
11:55
granted how often have you been angry
11:59
when your automobile did not perform
12:01
perfectly bless your car with love and
12:07
be aware of the miracle it is to be able
12:11
to get into this comfortable piece of
12:14
machinery that moves you about this
12:17
planet with very few manipulations we
12:21
move forward to our destination it’s one
12:26
of our daily miracles the next time your
12:32
plane is delayed release the tendency to
12:36
be angry instead acknowledge the
12:41
incredible ability to be able to get
12:44
into a little metal tube that rises up
12:48
in the sky and swiftly takes us to
12:52
another place on this planet it is one
12:56
of our safest forms of transportation
13:00
and planes need love just as we do let
13:09
your mind go over the various
13:12
relationships you have in your life
13:18
bless them all with love
13:23
and be thankful for them they are all
13:30
your teachers I know you have special
13:37
things in your life that you are
13:39
thankful for so take a moment to let
13:44
your mind gently and lovingly move
13:48
throughout your life past or present
13:54
giving thanks for places people or
14:01
experiences that either have been or are
14:06
now in your life it’s such a wonderful
14:12
feeling to be thankful it prepares and
14:16
opens the way for more good to come into
14:20
our lives there is a power and a
14:25
presence that resides within us that is
14:31
always there to lead us and to guide us
14:35
and make smooth and easy our way all we
14:42
need to do is to acknowledge this and to
14:47
allow it to work for us too often when
14:52
we awaken in the morning we leap out of
14:55
bed and try to push our way through life
14:59
controlling everything in sight but
15:04
that’s not how this power works
15:06
[Music] 15:07
it’s like trying to control your
15:10
breathing or your heartbeat or your
15:14
digestion if you try all you do is
15:20
interfere and upset the natural rhythm
15:24
and flow of your bodily processes the
15:30
best thing we can do for our body is to
15:34
feed it natural foods and beverages to
15:38
exercise it in ways that are a pleasure
15:41
to us and to allow the intelligence in
15:45
the body to take care of all the rest so
15:52
it is with our lives we think positive
15:56
loving thoughts we forgive others we are
16:01
kind to ourselves mentally and then we
16:07
allow the intelligence of the universe
16:09
to take over and create that which is
16:14
for our highest good and greatest joy
16:18
this way the process works smoothly
16:24
the power that created us has given us
16:28
the power to create our lives the power
16:33
and choice of the thoughts we think we
16:40
have infinite choice of that which we
16:44
can choose to think these choices create
16:49
our future if we choose hurt and anger
16:56
and resentment then we will just create
17:00
more hurt and anger and resentment if we
17:05
want love we must think loving thoughts
17:09
if we want joy we must think joy if we
17:17
want to experience peace and calm then
17:22
we must think peaceful thoughts
17:27
if we want prosperity then we must open
17:31
ourselves to it mentally if we want to
17:36
flow creatively then we must acknowledge
17:40
our ability say this with me mentally I
17:47
am an open channel for divine ideas to
17:53
flow through me and the creativity of
17:57
the universe now expresses through me
18:02
that which I need to know is revealed to
18:07
me and whatever I need comes to me I am
18:16
divinely protected and guided and my way
18:21
is made smooth and easy one of the
18:28
things that create so many problems for
18:31
us is thoughts of anger and resentment
18:35
and blame so let us take a moment before
18:41
we actively begin our day to consciously
18:45
dissolve that from within our mind
18:50
please join me insane
18:54
I release all need for anger or
18:59
resentment or blame I truly forgive all
19:05
those that need forgiving and I forgive
19:10
myself I look forward to this day with
19:17
love and peace and joy and anticipation

11:21
then look at all the other forms of
11:24
transportation we have to choose from
11:28
and be thankful for
11:33
there are rollerskates and skateboards
11:37
and bicycles and buses and trucks and
11:42
automobiles and trains and airplanes and
11:47
ships that sail upon the waters we have
11:51
our choice and we take them so for
11:55
granted how often have you been angry
11:59
when your automobile did not perform
12:01
perfectly bless your car with love and
12:07
be aware of the miracle it is to be able
12:11
to get into this comfortable piece of
12:14
machinery that moves you about this
12:17
planet with very few manipulations we
12:21
move forward to our destination it’s one
12:26
of our daily miracles the next time your
12:32
plane is delayed release the tendency to
12:36
be angry instead acknowledge the
12:41
incredible ability to be able to get
12:44
into a little metal tube that rises up
12:48
in the sky and swiftly takes us to
12:52
another place on this planet it is one
12:56
of our safest forms of transportation
13:00
and planes need love just as we do let
13:09
your mind go over the various
13:12
relationships you have in your life
13:18
bless them all with love
13:23
and be thankful for them they are all
13:30
your teachers I know you have special
13:37
things in your life that you are
13:39
thankful for so take a moment to let
13:44
your mind gently and lovingly move
13:48
throughout your life past or present
13:54
giving thanks for places people or
14:01
experiences that either have been or are
14:06
now in your life it’s such a wonderful
14:12
feeling to be thankful it prepares and
14:16
opens the way for more good to come into
14:20
our lives there is a power and a
14:25
presence that resides within us that is
14:31
always there to lead us and to guide us
14:35
and make smooth and easy our way all we
14:42
need to do is to acknowledge this and to
14:47
allow it to work for us too often when
14:52
we awaken in the morning we leap out of
14:55
bed and try to push our way through life
14:59
controlling everything in sight but
15:04
that’s not how this power works
15:06
[Music] 15:07
it’s like trying to control your
15:10
breathing or your heartbeat or your
15:14
digestion if you try all you do is
15:20
interfere and upset the natural rhythm
15:24
and flow of your bodily processes the
15:30
best thing we can do for our body is to
15:34
feed it natural foods and beverages to
15:38
exercise it in ways that are a pleasure
15:41
to us and to allow the intelligence in
15:45
the body to take care of all the rest so
15:52
it is with our lives we think positive
15:56
loving thoughts we forgive others we are
16:01
kind to ourselves mentally and then we
16:07
allow the intelligence of the universe
16:09
to take over and create that which is
16:14
for our highest good and greatest joy
16:18
this way the process works smoothly
16:24
the power that created us has given us
16:28
the power to create our lives the power
16:33
and choice of the thoughts we think we
16:40
have infinite choice of that which we
16:44
can choose to think these choices create
16:49
our future if we choose hurt and anger
16:56
and resentment then we will just create
17:00
more hurt and anger and resentment if we
17:05
want love we must think loving thoughts
17:09
if we want joy we must think joy if we
17:17
want to experience peace and calm then
17:22
we must think peaceful thoughts
17:27
if we want prosperity then we must open
17:31
ourselves to it mentally if we want to
17:36
flow creatively then we must acknowledge
17:40
our ability say this with me mentally I
17:47
am an open channel for divine ideas to
17:53
flow through me and the creativity of
17:57
the universe now expresses through me
18:02
that which I need to know is revealed to
18:07
me and whatever I need comes to me I am
18:16
divinely protected and guided and my way
18:21
is made smooth and easy one of the
18:28
things that create so many problems for
18:31
us is thoughts of anger and resentment
18:35
and blame so let us take a moment before
18:41
we actively begin our day to consciously
18:45
dissolve that from within our mind
18:50
please join me insane
18:54
I release all need for anger or
18:59
resentment or blame I truly forgive all
19:05
those that need forgiving and I forgive
19:10
myself I look forward to this day with
19:17
love and peace and joy and anticipation
19:22
