Law of Attraction

The Law of Attraction by Esther and Jerry Hicks is along the same lines as The Secret – whose author Rhonda Byrne was originally one of their followers until they went their separate ways.

Esther takes issue with the title of Rhonda’s book, declaring that “Calling the law of attraction a secret is rather like calling gravity a secret.”

The information supplied by Esther is supposed to be channelled from the spirit world. This makes the message somewhat less mainstream, although Esther still has the endorsement of Oprah Winfrey, which has certainly helped with publicity.

Some of the main points of their philosophy are:

You create what you are with every thought. Whatever you think about, you will receive – be it good or bad.

Your state of being is the way you feel about yourself at any point in time.

When you focus on success as the achievement of happiness you place yourself in vibrational alignment with the universe

If you have been thinking hard about something but have not achieved it, you must be focusing on its absence and hence pushing it away (can be a tricky one to fix, that)

Stop worrying about what other people think and focus on what you want out of life.
