Esther Hicks is an author, speaker, teacher of the Law of Attraction, who channels a non-physical entity named Abraham. Abraham is said to be, "a group consciousness from the non-physical dimension."
Hicks and her husband Jerry Hicks travel all over the United States and the world conducting Law of Attraction workshops. They have also written several bestselling books.
How Does Esther Hicks Channel Abraham?
There are many ways sixth sensory people (psychics, mediums, communicators with the non-physical realm), get their messages. Some hear the messages - clairaudience, some see an image of what they convey and interpret - clairvoyance. Some others feel the message - clairsentience.
Hicks gets messages from Abraham through a clairaudient experience - telepathically. Blocks of thoughts are received by Hicks, who translates them into language that is comprehensible. She is in relaxed trance-like state when she communicates with Abraham.
Role of Meditation in Esther Hicks' Channeling of Abraham
Meditation is a way of quieting the mind. A lot of the mind's potential is wasted in thoughts of worry of the past or future. Finding clarity among non-serving thoughts is like finding a small object in a cluttered room. Meditation calms the mind, reduces stress and fosters creativity.
Meditation also creates a conduit for clear channeling. Hicks mentions in her book, Ask and It Is Given [Hay House, 2005], that she meditated for nine months before receiving her first cryptic messages from Abraham. The messages became clearer with time.
Meditation was one of the methods suggested to Hicks by a psychic, Sheila, who channeled an entity named Theo.
Role of Affirmations in Esther Hicks Channeling of Abraham
Affirmations help to clarify desires, while allowing the medium to focus upon the intention.
When Hicks met with a psychic named Sheila, she was given an affirmation that said, "I, Esther Hicks, see and draw to me, through Divine Love, those beings that seek enlightenment, through my process. The sharing will elevate us both, now."
Guidance from the non-physical world, in the form of serendipitous intuition and sudden creative bursts of ideas, has always been available. A negative connotation is often associated with words like "channeling," or "medium," or "psychic," triggering images of hauntings and evil spirits, and exorcisms.
However there have been many works of wisdom like those of Esther Hicks and Abraham, that are non-intrusive, that have come about as a result of communication from a non-physical source.
