Review
This is, IMO, the best book of theirs for those new to the Abraham material (and is the favourite of many more seasoned Abraham fans too!)
Over the past couple of decades, I’ve accumulated a huge library of metaphysical and self-help type books, and this book (along with ‘The Amazing Power of Deliberate Intent’) is by far the best of all of them. I now think that all …

Here is a list of all the books that are available from Abraham-Hicks. You can click the book title or cover image to go directly to Amazon to find out more, or click the ‘Review’ links to read my review of the book in question.
[this section will be updated soon]

The range of Abraham products is huge and constantly growing, and it can be confusing to know where to begin! This section aims to provide a guide to what’s available, and detailed reviews of all their products that I have will be added to the site over time.
Books
There are several Abraham books to choose from. Most of these are factual in nature, and the other three (the ‘Sara’ trilogy) are fictional. Their first book ‘A New Beginning I’, was published in 1988, and their most recent, ‘The Vortex’, in …

This is a common question in social situations. While it might just be seen as an inconsequential small talk, on par with commenting on the weather, I’ve always found the implications of this question disturbing, and I was glad to hear a recent Abraham CD address the issue. Here are some reasons why the question not as innocuous as it seems, and what you can do, if, like me, you find it annoying and intrusive.
Why should a person be defined by their job/career?
There is a tendency to use a person’s …

One theme that comes up again and again in the ‘new age’/self-help genre is that life is primarily about growth, and that life gives us ‘lessons’ or (even worse) ‘tests’, in the form of negative experiences, and that the path to success (as we define it) is littered with this kind of experience. And I’ve always thought that idea was a load of BS, even before discovering Abraham’s joy-centered perspective. It’s true that we can learn from any experience, and if we experience something not to our liking, it’s certainly …

An Old Limiting Belief
One old thought pattern I’ve found to be a bit persistent is the idea that some degree of unpleasantness in life is somehow necessary – the old ‘you must struggle/suffer in order to grow/accomplish want you want’ type scenario. Or even if it’s not necessary, it’s unavoidable – bad things happen to everyone, right?
And, like everyone, I’d prefer to avoid painful experiences, but at one point in my Abraham work I even uncovered a belief that if my life becomes really great on every level, then something …

I’m something of an Abraham-Hicks fan, and this article is basically an introduction to them.
Abraham – not a singular being
Abraham is the name chosen by a group of highly evolved non-physical consciousnesses who speak through Esther Hicks, who acts as a channel (although they themselves do not use the word ‘channelling’). They have mentioned that there are over 100 of them, with individual consciousnesses joining and leaving at the group at different times. Many of them have lived physical lives, whereas others have not, instead existing purely in the …

Who is Abraham?
You’ll find quite a few articles on this site about or inspired by the Abraham-Hicks material. Abraham, in case you’re not already familiar with them, is a group of non-physical consciousnesses that are channelled by Esther Hicks. Through their books, articles and very numerous audio and video recordings, they promote a message that is as simple as it is powerful: life is supposed to be fun, and through the deliberate focusing of thought and feeling, every person is entirely free to create exactly the life that they most …

On the 04-8-14, San Diego Abraham workshop recording, there’s a wonderful story told by a guest who wanted to manifest more financial abundance. She wanted $30,000, and said to the Universe – I want $30,000. And as time went by, each day she would actively look for the money – for example when walking down the street, in the mailbox, etc. She said that after a while she developed a sense of certainty that she would get it, and that it would come in a way that made her …

When I first discovered the Abraham material, I was already familiar with law of attraction and much of the other things they talk about, but was totally blown away by the way in which they present it, and by the sheer ‘feel good factor’ that characterises their material.
Abraham, for those of you unfamiliar with them, is a group of non-physical consciousnesses that speak through Esther Hicks. Yes, it’s channelled info, although they don’t use the word ‘channelled’ themselves. Now if you’re sceptical about channelling, that doesn’t mean Abraham’s information won’t …
