Refers to Esther Hicks, an American author and speaker who claims to channel a group of spiritual entities called ‘Abraham’. Together with her late husband Jerry Hicks, she developed the ‘Law of Attraction’ teachings that have become popular in self-help circles.
Esther Hicks gives workshops and seminars in which she claims to act as a medium for Abraham, whom she describes as a group of non-physical teachers. Their main message revolves around the ‘law of attraction’ – the idea that your thoughts and feelings create your reality and attract positive or negative experiences.
Some key concepts from their teachings are:
You are the creator of your own reality through your thoughts
Emotions are your ‘navigation system’ that indicate whether your thoughts are in line with your desires
By focusing on what you want (rather than what you don’t want), you attract positive experiences
Their work has a large following, but is also criticised by sceptics who question the scientific basis of their claims and the channelling aspect. The Abraham Hicks publications and seminars have become commercially very successful within the New Age and self-help industry.

The Law of Attraction says that that which is like unto itself is drawn. In other words, that which you think, at any moment, attracts unto itself other thoughts that are like it.

People will love you, people will hate you, people will hate you, and none of it will have anything to do with you.

Alignment trumps everything. Stay away from the subject that disrupts your alignment, and everything you care about will fall into place.
Photo: Use at your Ease. Meaning: By no longer resisting what you do not want, and focusing your energy on what you do want, everything you care about will naturally come into harmony or alignment, and the universe will support you.
If you want it and you wait for it, it will be yours very soon.
Image: Garuda Somanna AI. Meaning: By asking the universe. By persevering and remaining patient, the things you want will eventually come to you.
You are joy, you are looking for a way to express yourself.
Image: Arnie Bragg AI. Meaning: Your inner joy wants to come out, but is (still) searching for a form. For example, through art, music, writing, dance, speaking or other creative or personal expression.
You cannot pay attention to bad things and allow good things at the same time. It is impossible vibration.
Image: Pete Lintforth. Meaning: You cannot be focused on negative things and make positive things happen at the same time – it is vibrationally impossible according to Abraham’s teachings.
Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at will change.
Photo: Republica. Meaning: Our inner vibration – that is, the thoughts, feelings and beliefs we constantly emit – attracts what we focus on. When we focus on fear, lack or criticism, we resonate with experiences that confirm that same energy. By choosing gratitude, curiosity and positive expectation, we ‘tune in’ to other possibilities. Origin: Work of Abraham Hicks, a series of channelled teachings that focus on the Law of Attraction and creating a conscious, intentional lifestyle.
It’s not just that your goal is joy, it’s that you are joy. You are the expression of love, joy, freedom and clarity. Energy-filled and eager. That’s who you are.

Meaning: The realisation that joy, love and clarity do not need to be sought outside yourself, but that this is your origin, helps you to live your life in line with your highest potential. Origin: The Emotion Ladder is a concept introduced by Esther and Jerry Hicks, based on the teachings of Abraham Hicks. The model describes 22 emotional levels, ranging from the highest vibrations such as joy and love, to the lowest such as fear and depression. The idea is that people can move through these emotions, up or down, and that becoming aware of your position on this ladder can help you to gradually climb to higher, more positive emotions.
Everything you believe affects everything that comes to you.
Photo: Iris Helen Silvy. Meaning: Your beliefs act as a magnet that determines the circumstances, opportunities or problems you encounter in your life. This is known as the Law of Attraction.
Stop asking others to be the change you need to feel better. It is freedom that you are seeking.
Image: Peter van Geest AI. Meaning: You are your own source of well-being and you do not need to change others in order to experience inner peace. Origin: Abraham Hicks (Law of Attraction).
You are constantly pre-paving your future experiences… You are continually projecting your expectations onto your future experiences.
Image: Peter van Geest AI. Meaning: Your inner world (expectations, beliefs, feelings) has a direct influence on the outer world you attract. By consciously guiding your expectations, you can actively shape the quality of your future experiences.
You can get where you want to be from wherever you are, but you have to stop spending so much time noticing and talking about what you don’t like where you are.
Image: Peter van Geest AI. Meaning: Everything revolves around the principle of attention and vibration. You cannot vibrate to a better place as long as you remain energetically focused on what you reject. Change your attention, and you change your direction. Origin: A core idea within Abraham Hicks’ Law of Attraction philosophy.
