Abraham Hicks material is the collection of books, videos and seminars that have been circulating, with increasing popularity, around the new age/new thought/abundance consciousness community for the last twenty or so years.
Abraham is the “entity” channeled by Esther Hicks. Abraham describe themselves as plural, a group consciousness of non-physical source energy. No matter what you think about channeling, if you are interested in things like the Law of Attraction and abundance, it is worthwhile to take a look at this material.
Channeling probably goes back as far as human consciousness. The best known trance channel before the current new age movement was Jane Roberts who channeled Seth. Books like Seth Speaks and the Nature of Personal Power describe reality in great detail, including topics like reincarnation and parallel or probable realities.
Abraham speaks in much simpler, but no less profound words than Seth. There is no esoteric or complicated metaphysics. Everything is distilled to the fundamentals of how we create reality with our thoughts and emotions.
There are many ways to start out with the Abraham material. You can find many free videos on Youtube, you can attend a seminar or read one of the many books.
This short video from an Abraham seminar tells why “winning” isn’t the point. What matters is your vibrational alignment.
If you like the Abraham teachings, there are lots of good videos that are frequently posted on Youtube. Many are seminars with many parts. The only inconvenience is that they are divided into ten minute segments, so if it’s a long seminar you have to play all of the videos separately, but when you consider that you’re getting all of this for free, you can’t really complain! These seminars start with a lecture by Abraham (through Esther Hicks), followed by questions and answers.
The following is an excerpt from an Abraham seminar and is an explanation of “The Glorious Experience of Allowing:”
Abundance Meme Tip of the Day:
Goals, dreams and vision statements are important, but your moment to moment thoughts and emotions are even more important. Don’t expect to be perfectly postitive all the time, but stay focused on how you are feeling as much as possible, and do what you can to feel better.

In this video, taken from a workshop, Abraham, channeled by Esther Hicks, explains why the so-called financial crisis is really a good thing. The essential message is that the universe, and hence our state of abundance, is made of vibration, so focusing on external realities such as the “economy” is a limited perspective.
The following is a short video I made, using the online tool Animoto. These are images, music and affirmations designed to help you relax and become more receptive to attracting what you want. Affirmations are meant to be repeated consistently. They also work better if written down. Videos, as well as audio and other tools, can be good as a reminder and trigger to help your mind remember what it wants to create.
If you have seen or read The Secret or maybe read any of the Abraham books, you are familiar with the Law of Attraction, which says that we attract what we focus our attention on. It’s a little more involved than that –it really is about your overall vibration. Your outer reality always corresponds to your inner vibration. The Law of Attraction creates outer circumstances that match your inner reality. It’s related to the Hermetic axiom, As Above, So Below. It could just as easily say, As Inner, so Outer.
To use the Law of Attraction, it helps to be aware of what you are thinking and feeling as much as possible. When you react to events that don’t please you in a negative way, you are attracting more of the same. This is really the key to mastering the Law, and the most difficult part of it. For it demands that you pay more attention to your desires than to what is “really” happening in your outer world. I put “really” in quotes because it’s just an assumption we make that outer events are more real than our inner reality. If anything, it’s the other way around. As quantum theory teaches, everything is made of energy –physical reality is actually further removed from pure energy than our thoughts and emotions. So if we want to change things, it’s the inner world that is of primary importance!
You can find some books that will help you better understand the Law of Attraction:
The Abraham books, channeled by Esther Hicks, have introduced many people to the Law of Attraction This law states that you are always attracting with your thoughts and emotions, and that what you attract will always correspond to what you are vibrating. So in order to attract abundance in the outer world, you must vibrate abundance in your feelings.
In the latest Abraham book, Money and the Law of Attraction, Abraham describes how to align your emotions with abundance by telling better stories about your life to yourself. The book also talks about manifesting health and physical well being.
The Abraham books are interesting, because while there is nothing exactly “new” in them –the same basic metaphysical ideas can be found in books written in the 19th Century and even earlier– the way it’s presented is so simple and straightforward that it’s easier to learn. The books are deceptively simple, because to master these lessons you really have to pay attention to every detail and then remember to apply it to your daily life.
The following is the first part of a five part video series that was taped at an Abraham workshop. You can find the links to the rest of the series on Youtube.
