Dear Louise,

Do you have any thoughts about the loss of a pet and can you recommend any good books on the subject? My dog recently died, and I want to know if he’s still with me in spirit.

M.C., Dallas, Texas

Those little creatures creep into our hearts with their unconditional love, and we sorely mss them when they’re gone. Remember: Love is always with us, and those who leave the planet are always with us in spirit even if we’re not aware of it.

You can find much comfort on the Internet. There is Pet Loss Grief Support, one of the first places to visit on the web when a beloved pet passes on. Visit www.petloss.com. Also, www.amazon.com has a good list of books on the loss of a pet. One that I like is, Cold Noses at the Pearly Gates, a book to help with the loss, and it also answers questions such as yours. Also, talk to your pet and know that your dog wants you to be happy. And, of course, always remember your times together with joy. When you adopt a new animal, know that your recently departed dog sent it to you.

Dear Louise,

I truly believe that only thought creates form. However, my body currently has cancer, arthritis, and spinal degeneration. I daily pray for guidance to understand how I’m manifesting this stuff, but I don’t seem to be able to get any “help.” I feel stuck…very, very stuck.

G.F. , Vancouver, Canada

Your guidance has arrived! There are several things I’d like to tell you, dear one. First of all, you must change the way you eat. Vancouver is full of good health practitioners, so find a nutritionist to help you change your eating habits. Second, you can never be stuck, for each thought is a new beginning. If you’re finding yourself in the same spot over and over again, it means that you’re thinking the same thoughts over and over again, and re-creating the same patterns.

Third, whom do you desperately need to forgive? So many of the thoughts that contribute to illness come from old resentments that literally eat away at the body. I suggest you reread, You Can Heal Your Life, and do the exercises. Also, get my audio called, Self-Healing. It’s one of the best for healing the body. Listen to it two or three times a day for 30 days and you’ll feel some positive results.

Dear Louise,

I’m looking for the probable cause and new thought pattern on fibromyalgia. I didn’t find it in your book, Heal Your Body. Thank you.

G.S., New Hampshire

When a person is under stress, the body reacts and tenses up. Stiffness and pain is felt in the fibrous tissues, usually deep within the muscles, yet there’s nothing wrong with the muscles themselves. Stiffness is a result of rigid, stiff thinking. Tension, fear, and holding on results in the body cramping and gripping. Use the following affirmation: I AM RELAXED AND SAFE. MY MIND IS FLEXIBLE AND PEACEFUL AND SO IS MY BODY. I AM FREE OF PAIN, AND ALL IS WELL!
