Now is the
time for women to break
the barriers of self-limitation.
You can be far more than you
ever dreamed possible.

Something old, something new. This book to help women reach their true potential has some of my previous ideas and many new ideas. By reviewing the basics and adding to them, we create a firm stand for the future. Encouraging women to embrace their inner power is the best thing we can do for the planet. When women are suppressed, everybody loses. When women win, we all win.

Louise Hay

Editors Note for the revised edition of Embrace Your Power: This book has been very lightly edited throughout in order to update statistics, vocabulary, and recommendations to reflect the modern world we now live in. However, Louises voice and message were strictly preserved.

First, please remember that all teachers are merely stepping-stones on your pathway of growth. This includes me. I am not a healer; I do not heal anyone. I am here to help you embrace your power by sharing ideas with you. I urge you to read many books and to study with many teachers, for no one person or one system can encompass it all. Life is too vast for us to totally comprehend, and Life itself is always growing and expanding and becoming more of itself. So take the best of what you read in this book. Absorb it, use it, and move on to other teachers. Continually expand and deepen your own understanding of Life.

All women, including you and me, have been shamed and blamed since childhood. We have been programmed by our parents and by society to think and behave in a certain wayto be women, with all the rules, regulations, and frustrations that come with being a woman. Some of us are very content to play that role. Many of us are not.
