:wave: Hi,

I think I'm posting this here and in the manifestation thread as it seems the right thing for people to find it more easily.

Has anyone read this book yet? :D AMAZING!!

With all the talk about manifesting and positive attitudes, I find it hard to make a lasting change...UNTIL I read this book.
(in 1 day I might add!!:laff2: ) And I had read Judith Orloff's books, Cayce, and some others that speak to the law of attraction, and seen the threads here etc.


THIS book is what I call the field guide to our own mindsets and attitudes. The problems most people have with manifesting is we think we have the emotions and intentions but it is so far from our natural and acceptable thoughts that even when we convince ourselves of the new positive thoughts it doesn't resonate with us. This has been the landmine in the whole concept for me....so I ask how do you make it work?!:cuss:

Ask and It is Given says you don't need to make that leap. They list 22 emotions and everybody fits in there somewhere. You work on slowly moving from 22 to 1 in your sense of Well-Being. The book is excellent with many examples of how to manifest, but the fact of how to make the progression from those higher numbers down to that 1 (representing Joy/Knowledge/Empowerment/Freedon/Love/Appreciation) is what IMO makes this book a MUST HAVE!! There's also practical ways to change your mindset over time so those negative thoughts get turned around to positive ones. It teaches you skills to not label as good/bad, right/wrong but rather to deal with your raw emotion and how to choose what serves you in your life. It also teaches you how to ACCEPT (on a soul level) and EXPECT what you want without all that mind chatter that talk us out of what our desires are!

Of all the books I have read, this is the one that I think thus far has made the most impact on my life! Not to discredit the JH seminar, as that was an incredibly awakening and enlightening experience, but this has opened up the UNIVERSE not the world of possibilities. It will be my new manual for my approach to life until I can maintain those single digits with regard to all those challenges in life! I can't even convey to all of you how powerful this book is in impacting the way you think. It is very empowering to say the least!:D (I'm buying the hard cover as it will be getting ALOT of use!!)

MAKE IT A MUST READ if not a MUST OWN!!

:wave: Hi,

I posted on the book thread about the book by Esther and Jerry Hicks entitled "ASk and It Is Given".

:love: Loved it as a great practical resource to manifesting. See the other thread for my thoughts about it.

Just wondering if others have read this book and what they thought about it.......anybody else feel changed by it??

I've read both of their books and have several CDs and a set of DVDs covering their cruise to Alaksa is '04. I have found that seeing Abraham/Esther in the flesh in September when they were in the Washington, D.C. area and watching the DVDs, especially the question and answer sections have been more helpful to me. The variety of questions and more specifically, Abraham's responses to them bring home how manifesting and working one's way into vibrational alliance with what one is manifesting can be applied in our daily lives, especially re working one's way up the emotional scales. But I recommend both highly.

How Cool! (:dance: )

I was looking at the website and was interested in the DVD's and CD's.
I also saw there is a workshop in May (actually 3 dates!) in Asheville NC (about 1-2 hr drive depending where it actually is!).

I realized now I should start hitting the road as there seems to be a holistic center there and they have alot of speakers there.

Thanks for the input, I will rethink the seminar now since it's so close to me and not too far in the future. I was thinking the book was enough ... until I read your post that is!;)



(oh and sorry for confusion, it seems when I posted both places it probably got deleted as duplicate, now it looks like it's here with the other post linked and not in book thread! Whatever works as long as the people who need to "find" this reference do!!;) ;) :D)

So do you utilize these skills or is it like all of us, a work in progress? I seem to just be a lump of clay starting to take shape....how about you?

Anybody else utilizing this book or Abraham teachings?
