In this book, first published in Russian, Louise Hay talks about the communication techniques she developed for a person’s relationship with themselves. This is a very important and necessary skill. It may even be more important and necessary than the skill of communicating with other people. Only through communication with oneself can a person discover their deepest own thoughts—which also direct their life. And if, at the very depth of consciousness, there are destructive, negative thoughts, then it is precisely they that are the cause of illness and suffering.
