The teachings of Abraham-Hicks refer to the philosophical and spiritual concepts presented by Esther Hicks and her husband Jerry Hicks. These teachings are based on messages Esther claims to channel from a group of spiritual entities known collectively as “Abraham.”
Central to the Abraham-Hicks teachings is the law of attraction, which suggests that individuals can attract into their lives whatever they focus on, positive or negative, through the power of their thoughts and emotions. The core idea is that like attracts like, and by focusing on positive or negative thoughts, one can bring positive or negative experiences into their life.
Key aspects of the teachings include:
- Emotional Guidance System: This concept suggests that emotions are indicators of whether one’s thoughts are in alignment with their broader desires. Positive emotions indicate alignment, while negative emotions suggest misalignment.
- Art of Allowing: This is the practice of relaxing and letting oneself align with the broader wisdom of the universe or one’s inner being, rather than struggling against circumstances or trying to control outcomes too rigidly.
- Focus on Joy and Well-being: Abraham-Hicks teachings emphasize the importance of focusing on activities and thoughts that make one feel good, as this aligns them more closely with their desires and attracts positive outcomes.
- Creating Reality through Thoughts: The belief that individuals are not merely passive observers of their reality but active creators. By managing their thoughts and focusing on what they desire, they can shape their own experiences and outcomes.
- Segment Intending: A practice of intentionally setting one’s attitude and expectations for upcoming segments of the day to influence their outcomes favorably.
These teachings are shared through books, workshops, and audio recordings, with a large following of individuals who use these principles to influence their personal and professional lives.
