Really relaxing!!

[Amy · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am using this book to make a change in my life and my joy in 2009. I am reading one page each morning to jumpstart myself into a mindset of hopefulness and happiness. This year has started out a bit rocky for me, but I need to remember (and this book is helping me do so) that I control my own happiness. I create my own joy. My dreams CAN come true. I just simply need to expect and allow them. I'm ready for a wonderful new year! BRING IT ON!

As a recommendation: You should read 'Ask and It Is Given' first. This book works more as a reminder than a true teaching tool. I would imagine it would be confusing without the knowledge and background I have learned through Esther & Jerry Hicks books.

I love this quick easy book. I can open it up any time, and it will lift me up or inspire me.

Another set of beautiful cards that I highly recommend! Manifest your desires is an inappropriate name, as the creators of these cards, Jerry and Esther Hicks, don't really care about your manifesting things. They are much more wanting you to get to the feeling of things that you want. So take these cards and wrap yourself in their words. Let the positive thoughts on them delight you! If you keep surrounding yourself with these sorts of things, you will be so deluded about reality that it won't matter whether things are improving or not! Sure, occasionally something will happen that takes you out of the Vortex, but as you whip out one of these cards, with the most gorgeous graphics (created by the talented Kristina Swarner), you will be able to coax and convince yourself once again of the alternate reality that Abraham is trying to pull you into. Use these cards to release your silly critical thinking skills. You can do it!

This is such a pretty little book with lots of nice colourful pictures on each page, it's a joy to read. It is written as an inspirational book to fill the reader's mind with positive thoughts, with the intention of helping the reader to change their life for the better. I love the idea that we can create a better reality for ourselves just by thinking more positively. It's the type of book you can pick up again and again just to lift your mood.

Great bite size reminders of Abraham's wisdom. Makes for a great start of the day.

[Jenny Orelle · Rating 5 out of 5]

This christmas I'm giving copies of this little book to people I love.

Now I understand why all those moments of synchronicity that were way beyond chance came into my life the way they did.

I followed Wayne Dyer's advice to read "Ask and It Is Given" and can't wait to read the book he's co-creating with Esther later this year.

This book is a gift to all. Thank you universe and thank you Abraham.

If you're someone who has built up a habit of thinking negatively or expecting negatively then this book is ESPECIALLY for you, but it is seriously great for everyone. I chose to read this book on a 'one page per day' basis, so long as I'd got to the book that day, which I didn't always do. I started 9 August 2014 and finished 19 December 2016 (two days before my wedding). The power of this work? When I started it, I was still grieving for my partner who had died the previous year. I set about working with it and improving my responses and actions in life. Five weeks in I met my current partner, at an event I wouldn't have gone to if I hadn't felt and chosen the word 'yes'. When I finished it, it was 2 days before our wedding and now I can say 'I'm happily married!'.
The biggest lesson: enjoy the life you currently have RIGHT NOW. Dreams are important, yes they are, but loving your life right now is really the only way you can move forward. And it's not about affirmations and pretending to be happy all the time, it is about acknowledging how you feel about something, whether it is depression, fear, revenge, anger, frustration, boredom, hopeful, happy, through to bliss, and then working on finding ways to make you feel better than you were before. Rome wasn't built in a day (cliche, but a well-known good one), but if you allow yourself time to think and care about how you feel, then you can build up and enjoy the life that you have. This book helps you work along the Law of Attraction and Getting into the Vortex etc by providing you with daily reminders and inspiration that you are the deliberate creator of your universe as you always intended to be, and ways to keep you on that path. I really recommend this to everyone, along with reading 'The Law of Attraction' and/or watching 'The Law of Attraction in Action' recordings also by Abraham, Esther, and the late Jerry Hicks (mine is on DVD). This book and the other books and dvds will change your life if you let them!

Light, easy and fun

Easy soft reminders to keep you flying gently over resistance and always reminding you that source is in control. Be safe.

This book really breaks down the power of how to deliberately create the world around you through your thoughts and emotions

[Reynaldo Ted II (Trewaldo) Peñas · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good inspirational and spiritual book, short but direct.

[Ioana · Rating 5 out of 5]

The clearest and shortest way to understand Abraham's ideas, from all the books and materials I've encountered.
It features some tools and it's the kind of book you come back to from time to time.

[Pooja · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very good

It is unputdownable. I couldn't stop reading and relishing every sentence. Loved every bit of it and would recommend to all

[Lauri · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.75 ⭐️ only because of the format

I love the ideas
But don’t like the layout as much. Would have liked more depth and less of a « daily reading »

Fantastic processes and a great way to reverse or replace all the false premises out there. Can improve your life.

Discussion Question

Q. Do you have a word that you have in your mind? Please tell me your motto.
A. I like the word "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again!" I think challenging is the most important. Sometimes life has a lot of pain. However, I strongly believe that we can walk again and again even if we fall down many times. In the future, I want to tell my students how important trying again and again is. This is a part of my dream!

Comment
My teacher gave me this book. This book tells me how to lead a better life.
To make my dreams a reality, this book tells me 365 ways. I want to read this book every night from now on. By reading this book, I want to lead a better life!

[Ritu KT · Rating 2 out of 5]

I was introduced to Abraham and Hicks through the first edition of "The Secret". I love their teachings and I think "Ask And It is Given" is a great book but this particular book does not add anything. It is just a colorful (and art-y) interpretation of the teachings of the Hicks. I would suggest others to look into their other works rather than this one.
I tried to work it into a one-page-per-day thing as well but in my opinion it did not serve that purpose either.
Each page is colorful and has a cute depiction in art form so if you are a collector of beautiful books, it is certainly super cute.

[Robin · Rating 3 out of 5]

I know this is one of those books that you're supposed to read a bit every day, but I read it all at once. It had a bit of interesting advice that I felt was worth thinking about, but overall it was extremely repetitive. I think reading it every day might have made it seem less so, but still, it made me feel like they were counting on people forgetting things so they could reuse bits of advice. Or, I suppose if I looked at it from a more positive angle, they were trying to drive certain points home with repetition. Either way, it was a fun book to read to get thinking, and I enjoyed it.

[D.G. Kaye · Rating 5 out of 5]

A beautiful little book to inspire. Once again Hicks shares with us the meaning of intentional focus on what we desire can be obtained. The difference between worrying about what we don't want to happen and focusing solely on what we see ourselves having and doing is demonstrated here by Hicks' page by page wisdoms and direction. This book can be read as a book or used to open up a random page for inspiration. The book is beautifully illustrated and as such, I would highly recommend the physical book as opposed to an ebook reading.

[Jessie Burroughs · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed this book a lot! It's really pretty and it served as a nice reminder of the principles of the law of attraction and h0w to apply them. I wonder though, who the intended audience is for this book. I feel like it might be lost on someone who isn't familiar with Esther Hicks or the Secret, yet it's highly generalized so there's not much in the way of new information especially if you read it one page at a time for a year as it's intended. Overall, my impression is that it's basically a coffee table book with gorgeous pictures to remind you to set your day with LOA.

[Amy Dale · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'd give this 10 stars! Abraham is always amazing, but this book, broken into a page a day format,is great because each short, easily digestible chunk is so jam-packed with importance, inspiration and love. A book you can open to any page and immediately be reminded of how to live your best life. It will be living beside my bed where I can access the info any time.
