Who is Esther Hicks?
Esther Weaver was born in Coalville, Utah, on March 5, 1948. She later met Jerry Hicks, and they got married in 1980. Jerry Hicks had a varied career, including being a musician and comedian.
Esther's unique experiences began in 1985. She and Jerry had read books by another person who claimed to channel spirits. After this, Esther started to feel she could also connect with a collective consciousness.
In 1987, Esther Hicks began giving private readings. The next year, she started holding public conferences. They traveled a lot, sharing their ideas with many people. Their popularity grew even more after Esther appeared in the first version of the 2006 film The Secret. This film helped spread their ideas about the Law of Attraction to a wider audience.
Jerry Hicks passed away on November 18, 2011. Esther continues to share their teachings today.
What is the Law of Attraction?
Esther Hicks teaches that your thoughts can create your reality. This idea is called the Law of Attraction. It suggests that if you focus on positive thoughts, you will attract positive things into your life. If you focus on negative thoughts, you might attract negative experiences.
This concept is similar to older ideas from the New Thought movement. These ideas suggest that your mind has a powerful effect on your life. Esther Hicks believes that by thinking in a certain way, you can bring about what you desire.
How Does it Work?
The teachings of Abraham-Hicks explain three main ideas:
- Law of Attraction: This is the idea that "like attracts like." Your thoughts and feelings send out a vibration, and the universe responds by bringing you things that match that vibration.
- Science of Deliberate Creation: This means you can actively choose your thoughts to create the reality you want. It's about intentionally focusing on what you desire.
- Art of Allowing: This principle is about letting good things come to you. It means removing resistance or negative thoughts that might block what you want to attract.
