DEAR LOUISE
Dear Louise, I struggle with uncontrolled
spending. I feel as if I let all my money flow out-although I have plenty
flowing in. The shopping binges seem to be as addictive for me as alcoholic
binges are for alcoholics. Often I give away or throw away the things I buy.
Other than compulsive, addictive shopping, I’m a health-conscious, happy
person. I eat semi-vegetarian, organic foods; study Ernest Holmes’s writings,
A Course in Miracles, and other metaphysical literature; and also do yoga. I
exercise by running and walking. Is there an affirmation that can help me?
K.K.,
Los Angeles
My feeling is that you’re emulating a family
spending pattern. Did either of your parents have a problem handling money? With
all the good things you do for yourself, I still sense a feeling of
not-deserving or a need to punish a parent through this behavior. Why do you
have to make yourself feel bad? This is an old pattern to let go of now. Work
with the following affirmation for a month and see what happens. Just love
yourself, no matter what you may or may not do. We all deserve to be at peace.
Affirm I DESERVE TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT MYSELF AT ALL TIMES AND IN ALL WAYS.
Dear Louise,
Do you have any secrets for healing
bunions? I’ve suffered from them for years and don’t know what to do.
T.L.,
Australia
Physically, bunions are toxins that settle in the
feet. A good nutritional cleansing program can help your feet feel more
comfortable. Metaphysically, bunions represent a fear of the future. Remember,
feet represent understanding and trust in Life. So with bunions, there’s fear
of moving forward, and insecurity about being where you are. Also, there’s the
feeling that too many demands are being made on you. It’s time to stand on
your own two feet mentally. What is it you want to do? Where do you want to be?
Learn to become more selfish and to think of yourself more. You’ve done more
than enough for others. Your feet are telling you that it’s your time now. So
love your feet! Massage them daily with love. Move forward in life, loving who
you are, enjoying yourself, and thinking thoughts that make you feel good.
Affirm I LOVE MY LIFE. I DO WHAT MAKES ME HAPPY, AND I MOVE FORWARD IN JOY.
Dear Louise,
You’ve never mentioned anything
about your views on the subject of a married woman having a sexual relationship
(four years now) with a divorced man. What is your view on extramarital affairs?
S.K., Asheville, NC
Other people’s extramarital affairs are none of
my business. We’re all under the law of our own consciousness, When we settle
for less, we get less. The majority of the time in these cases, the relationship
doesn’t progress very far. Promises may be made but are seldom fulfilled. The
questions to ask yourself are "Is this what I really deserve? Is this what
I really want, and why? Do I enjoy living a secret life?" No one can tell
you what to do or make a decision for you, because they’re not you. They don’t
think in your mind. Only you can give yourself pain or happiness. I would affirm
I AM LIVING A BEAUTIFUL AND FULFILLING LIFE. I AM HAPPY AND AT PEACE. Then see
how the Universe fulfills these affirmations for you.
