Esther Hicks (born Esther Weaver) is an American inspirational speaker and best-selling author. She has co-authored nine books with her husband Jerry Hicks, presents workshops on the Law of Attraction and appeared in the first release of the film The Secret. The Hicks’ books, including the best-selling series The Law of Attraction, are — according to Esther Hicks — “translated from a group of non-physical entities called Abraham (Hicks describes what she is doing as tapping into “infinite intelligence”).
Esther Hicks says that non-physical entities called Abraham speak through her, and that her teachings (referred to as Abraham–Hicks teachings) are based on this experience. The basic tenets of the teachings include that we create our own reality through our thoughts, that our emotions are constantly guiding us toward where we want to go, and that life is supposed to be fun. The essence of Abraham–Hicks’ teachings since 1986 has been presented as follows:
- You are a physical extension of that which is non-physical.
- You are here in this body because you chose to be here.
- The basis of your life is freedom; the purpose of your life is joy.
- You are a creator; you create with your every thought.
- Anything that you can imagine is yours to be or do or have.
- You are choosing your creations as you are choosing your thoughts.
- The Universe adores you, for it knows your broadest intentions.
- Relax into your natural well-being. All is well.
- You are a creator of thoughtways on your unique path of joy.
- Actions to be taken and money to be exchanged are by-products of your focus on joy.
- You may appropriately depart your body without illness or pain.
- You cannot die; you are everlasting life.
