Attitudinal Healing defines this essential quality of being as "love", and states that it is accessible in any moment, through our conscious choice to experience it. It asserts that it is not people or circumstances outside ourselves that cause us conflict or distress. Rather what causes us conflict is our own thoughts, feelings and attitudes about people and events.
It states that we are fundamentally responsible for our experience. By exploring the thoughts, feelings and attitudes that cause us conflict or fear we can eventually heal them. This begins with a willingness to find another way of looking at the world, at ourselves and at our relationship to ourselves, then making new choices to no longer find value in them.
| Attitudinal Healing is based on the premise that it is possible to let go of painful, fearful thoughts and attitudes and to choose peace rather than conflict and love rather than fear. |

It further states that the purpose of all communication is joining, not separation and that happiness itself is a choice. It defines each instant as an opportunity to reexamine our lives and to choose once again what it is we want to experience.
