Dear Louise,

I’ve been working at an acting career for 30 years with not much success. I’ve been involved in Science of Mind and other metaphysical teachings for that long, also, but none of my dreams have come true. What would you suggest?

B.D., New York

Anyone who has been in the teachings this long without results isn’t doing the work. It’s as if you were given a part in a play and only halfheartedly learned the script. You’re not going for it 100 percent. The director would not be pleased with your performance. And the Universe is obviously getting mixed signals from you. You vacillate between doing affirmations and feeling they’re not working for you.

I suggest you make a commitment to yourself. The metaphysical part of your life is the biggest “part” you’ve ever been offered. Take this opportunity and give it everything you have, just as you would if you were offered a starring role on Broadway. Love who you are and go for it! Affirm: I am willing to be the star of my own life!

Dear Louise,

Ever since my wife passed away about nine months ago, I’ve been continually losing things—yesterday one of my indoor cats even got lost. What is the metaphysical reason this keeps happening, and what can I do to stop it?

S.B., Dallas

I feel that you’re still mourning the loss of your wife—that’s why things are happening as they are for you right now. A lot of sadness comes to the surface upon the death of a loved one. It’s important you let yourself feel the sadness. Nature has given you feelings to get you through certain experiences and to deny them causes more pain.

We all cope with grief in different ways. There are no rules! Call the Grief Recovery Hotline for the location of a group near you at 18004454808. Affirm: I am at peace with my loved one’s passing.

Dear Louise,

Is it possible to transform anger, guilt, and fear into positive thoughts without feeling any resentment? Sometimes I think that would be an impossible task. What do you suggest?

A.S., London

Of course! The key is forgiveness. Many people think that when you forgive others, you’re letting them off the hook for something they did to you. But actually, forgiving another person is an act of love for yourself. You’re releasing negative feelings that can harm you, and this has nothing to do with the other person. You’re saying to yourself, “I love you, and I will no longer let this past experience rule my life.”

Dear Louise,

At present, I am suffering from very painful heel spurs. Could you please tell me the metaphysical reason for this so I can heal myself.

A.B., Sydney, Australia

Heel spurs are often the result of a nutritional imbalance, so I would suggest that you go to a good nutritionist to have a nutritional diet worked out for you. Perhaps you just need to take in more protein and green vegetables on a daily basis. However, let’s look further.

Metaphysically, feet symbolize direction as well as our understanding of ourselves. The heels are “shock absorbers” for the family, both within and without. The spurs can be a deep-seated fear of the unknown and a sense of total vulnerability. Do you feel out of step with everyone around you?

Sit quietly with yourself and meditate on what’s going on in your heart and mind. Is there something you really want to change but are afraid to? Take a close look at your emotions; they are the way in which your Higher Self communicates with you. When we stuff them down and ignore them, our body takes over as the messenger. Is your thinking out of alignment with your desires? Now is the time to decide how you truly want to live. Write it down! Allow it to come from the highest place within you, honoring the dreams in your heart and soul.

Building trust and faith takes time, practice, and most important, patience. Know change is possible in your life. Affirm: I am firmly rooted in my connection with all of life. I have the ability to make positive changes. I am supported by the universe in all ways.
