Review # 1 was written on 2019-01-07 00:00:00 Eclipse Klokan Esther Hicks channels the wisdom of her inner being, called Abraham, to write these books. It sounds kind of far out there if you've never been exposed to that type of teaching before, but I have to say, I like it. If you're in to self help and new age books, you may want to give them a try. The majority of her (their) message seems to be to find joy. They teach that the purpose of life is to do what makes you happy as often as you can. Interestingly enough, that was the same lesson my grandfather taught me before he passed on. "Whatever you do in life, Heidi, be happy. The most important thing is to be happy." Maybe it is in memory of him that I connect so easily with these teachings. I don't know. I've really taken to heart her encouragement to start out your day in the proper mindset. Lately, I've been chilling in bed for a few minutes rather than jumping right into my day. I don't really have the words to explain why this is making a difference, but it is. I take a second to think about something awesome, even if its as banal as, "My pillow is so soft." Try it and let me know how it works out for you. "So as you awaken, open your eyes and say Today I will look for reasons to feel good. Nothing is more important than that I feel good." pg 37 Also, she's a big proponent for imaging and living your own life to its fullest and not comparing yourself to others. In the new age of social media and twitter where it seems like everybody is into everybody else's business, it's refreshing. Do not write your story like a factual documentary, weighing all the pros and cons of your experience, but instead tell the uplifting, fanciful, magical story of the wonder of your own life and watch what happens. pg 81 Overall, these teachings have changed my life. I can't really say enough positive things about her books, of which there are several best sellers. She also does a bustling business of hosting workshops, which she does across the United States and on a few different cruises. Last month, I went to an Abraham Hicks workshop for the first time. I've enjoyed her videos on YouTube for a long time and thought I might shake things up and see what she's like in person. This was kind of a production because Esther doesn't come to the St. Louis area. So, I went out west and heard her speak in Phoenix. The papers for the workshop registration encourage attendees to write down questions about life, whatever comes into your mind that you're curious about. I brainstormed with my husband and came up with about a dozen different things I'd talk about if I got to the "hot seat". (That's what she calls the chair up front.) I arrived about 15 minutes before the whole thing started, which seemed like ample time to me, only to discover the auditorium was nearly filled! That was fine because I wanted a seat towards the outside anyway. If things gave me a weird vibe, I wanted to be able to get the heck out as fast as possible. In the moments before Esther emerged, this music started up about "Joy, joy, joy. Joy is the key" and almost half the crowd got up and started dancing. I nearly bolted. It felt rather cultist in those moments. But then the music cut and there she was and things settled down somewhat. What followed was a lot of laughs and learning about topics ranging from relationships to illness to someone's dog. The whole day ended with a marriage proposal from one of the attendees to another. In fact, I enjoyed it so much, I'm kicking around the idea of going again next year. I never made it to the hot seat and felt rather disappointed. But, later, as I was reading over the questions I took to the workshop, I found, to my surprise, that she had directly addressed every single one of them in other people's questions. And then, that night, I dreamed I was back at the workshop. I was sitting in the chair and asking any question that came to my mind. So, that's my personal experience with this author and the "magic" of Abraham. I know these teachings aren't for everyone. (Case in point, I posed my trip to the workshop as a simple 'meeting one of my favorite authors' to my very religious mother.) But they're for me. And that's pretty cool.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-02-27 00:00:00 Harry Bonney This was a good book about what all already fundamentally know. For me, these books are always good spritual reminders, which do precisely what I want them to do. That is, put me in the now, and in a positive place. Some of my favorite take-aways: "[T:]here is powerful value in abandoning any thoughts that do not feel good when you think them." "Before things actually manifest, your proof of alignment comes in the form of positive, good-feeling emotion; and if you understand that, then you will be able to hold steady to your course while the manifestations of the things you desire are making their way to you." "You cannot get poor enough to help poor people thrive or sick enough to help sick people get well. You only ever uplift from your position of strength and clarity and alignment." "The more you beat the drum of anything [positive or negative:], the more you activate the essence of it in your vibration." "'How do I get from where I am to where I want to be?' And the answer is: Look in the direction of where you want to be, and speak in the direction of where you want to be, and never again look back over your shoulder about where you have come from."
