Louise Hay on Trust, Stillness, and the Energy That Remembers You
Her voice was soft. Her truth wasn't. These timeless reminders from Louise Hay still hold — especially when you're learning to receive.
Before manifestation had a section in every bookstore, Louise Hay was whispering truth about self-worth, forgiveness, and feminine energy. Her presence was soft, but her work rewired the way women speak to themselves. She didn't just popularize affirmations — she reintroduced self-trust to women who had been taught to abandon it.
In a culture that often celebrates pushing harder and doing more, Louise's gentle wisdom offers a revolutionary counterbalance. She reminded us that receiving isn't passive, it's a sacred act of alignment with our true nature.
These timeless reminders from Louise still meet us where we are and guide us back to where we belong.
"Every thought we think is creating our future."
When Louise first shared this wisdom, it was revolutionary. Today, it's echoed across social media, sometimes diluted into what looks like toxic positivity. But Louise's original teaching wasn't about forcing happy thoughts or shaming ourselves for negative ones. It was about energetic responsibility.
"Visualization is a gift to your heart and your soul. It's the fertilizer," Louise explained in an interview. She understood that thoughts connected with emotion create a magnetic field that draws similar experiences toward us.
This isn't about mental perfectionism, it's about frequency awareness. The power isn't in controlling every thought, but in recognizing which thoughts you're allowing to take root and shape your receiving field.
🌀 The Receiving Code meditation helps you establish this awareness without obsession, creating a clean signal that resonates with abundance.
"I am safe. All is well."
Perhaps no Louise Hay quote is more iconic than this simple declaration. It appears throughout her work as a touchstone for returning to trust when circumstances suggest otherwise.
"When a problem comes up, one of the best things to say is: All is well. Everything is working out for my highest good. Out of this situation, only good will come. And I am safe," Louise taught.
She wasn't suggesting we ignore reality or bypass pain. Instead, she understood that fear contracts our energy field, blocking our ability to receive solutions. This affirmation creates enough energetic spaciousness for resolution to enter.
When your receiving signal drops, when emotional spirals threaten, or when abundance feels unsafe at a cellular level, these six words can reset your entire receiving frequency.
The Healing Power of Approval
"You've been criticizing yourself for years and it hasn't worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens."
This quote perfectly captures Louise's gift: soft power with sharp insight. With gentle humor, she points out the absurdity of our self-criticism while offering a revolutionary alternative.
Self-criticism is the most common form of energetic self-abandonment, and it blocks every form of abundance. You cannot simultaneously criticize yourself and maintain a clear receiving signal. The frequencies are incompatible.
"When we really love ourselves, everything in our life works," Louise emphasized. This isn't spiritual bypassing, it's energetic alignment.
When you criticize yourself, you broadcast unworthiness.
When you approve of yourself, you broadcast worthiness. The universe responds accordingly.
🌀 In Encoded, this principle forms the foundation of the journaling practice, tracking when you slip into criticism and consciously shifting to approval.
Forgiveness as Energetic Freedom
Louise didn't teach forgiveness as a moral obligation or spiritual achievement. She taught it as an energetic necessity.
"We all have people to forgive," she said. "That does not mean to condone poor behavior, but it's to release us from the bondage from what somebody has done to us."
You cannot manifest from a clenched heart. Resentment, anger, and unforgiveness create energetic densities that block the flow of receiving. Like trying to catch rainwater with a closed fist, no abundance can collect where there is no openness.
Forgiveness rituals don't need to be elaborate. Simply identifying where you're holding energetic resentment — toward others, yourself, or even life circumstances — and consciously choosing to release that grip can create immediate shifts in your receiving capacity.

The Universe as Mirror
"The universe totally supports every thought I choose to think."
This might be Louise's most profound teaching on manifestation. The universe isn't selectively responding to your "good" thoughts while ignoring your "bad" ones. It's supporting all of them equally.
This understanding shifts everything. The universe doesn't need convincing — it needs clarity. It's not judging your worthiness — it's simply responding to your signal.
"What we give out, we get back," Louise explained. "What you believe about yourself and about life becomes true for you."
The question isn't whether the universe hears you, but whether your signal is clean and congruent. Are you broadcasting worthiness in one moment and unworthiness the next? Are you affirming abundance while energetically preparing for scarcity?
Modern Application: The Lineage of Feminine Receiving
Louise Hay passed away in 2017 at age 90, but her work lives on in every program that honors feminine energy as a manifestation pathway. Long before it was trendy, she understood that true power wasn't about forcing outcomes but about aligning with natural energy flows.
She didn't just teach techniques — she modeled a way of being. Her soft voice carried unshakable conviction. Her simple words contained multidimensional wisdom. She demonstrated how feminine energy could be both gentle and transformative.
Today's feminine frequency work continues this lineage through practices that prioritize receiving over chasing, alignment over effort, and trust over control. The Receiving Code meditation and Encoded system build upon Louise's foundation, offering modern women accessible pathways back to their natural receiving state.
As Louise herself would remind us: "Remember, you have been criticizing yourself for years, and it hasn't worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens."
Perhaps that's the most revolutionary act of feminine manifestation — not striving for more, but returning to the truth of who you already are: a natural receiver of all the abundance the universe has to offer.
The Receiving Code meditation is available as a free download for anyone looking to recalibrate their wealth signal through feminine energy.
For those ready to deepen their practice, the Encoded system provides a complete toolkit including a 30-day journal, comprehensive guidebook, and 7-day audio series.
