Ask and It is Given: Learning to Manifest Your Desires Paperback – 1 Oct. 2004

I have been self studying the Law of Attraction only in the last couple of years. It is a subject that has both fascinated & perplexed me. There are countless books, a myriad of information on the net & gurus who are proponents on the subject but it can all get a little hazy & confusing. There are different interpretations of the subject & different ways of articulating it. Until I found this book, I had yet to find an all encompassing comprehensive guide that offered both the theory & the practical application.It wasnt an easy ride though....a friend recomended the book, I read the impressive reviews & got very excited. I started reading & found it all a bit inaccessible at first for me personally, it just didnt seem to click, so I gave up with a view to returning. I guess I was a little cynical of the sold expectations of the book.The first half of the book explains a lot of the theory behind the concept & the teachings of Abraham. This is very interesting but it took me a little while to get into it. Also the way some parts of the book are worded didnt flow too well for me. However, like me stick with it! Once I got past the first third or so of the book, I was hooked. The focus on explaining the theory behind source energy & alignment of vibrational energy really resonated with me. I guess after reading so much on the subject in a relatively short period of time I'd never really gained a true understanding or appreciation of the context of the Law of Attraction. This book makes that very clear albeit, the first half of the book feels a bit long winded, but it's necessary to gain a full understanding of what all of this truly means before you jump into the practical application side, a mistake I made in the past.The book offers 22 practical processes or activities that you can follow that focus on getting you into emotional & vibrational alignment with your desires or your true source. These are mostly very easy to implement into your life and not necessarily rocket science, but they really work to shift your emotions and the way you feel. This has given me a much greater awareness and also control over how I am feeling. Its easier said than done to "feel good" and think about things that emit "good" emotions or vibrations but these processes really help.The book isnt perfect & everyone is different but I feel it has been a game changer for me. It's a comprehensive authority on the Law of Attraction, has really inspired me and given me the tools to be in control of my life. I am already starting to feel & see differences as a result.I thoroughly believe it is a very powerful book and does what it says on the tin if you are able to resonate with & follow its teachings. This has reignited my passion on the subject & given me the realisation & almost the permission that tells me I can control my own destiny, so its 5 stars from me!

I really loved this book. There are many good books out there and they bring home powerful messages. However, for me this one stands out as real gem.If you can get the principle of the Universal Law of Attraction then you are almost home. This book for me hammers home this principle in a very clear and simple way. Equally important is the Art of Allowing. It's no good saying I want to change this and change that and the Universe sends it to you but your mind is too conflicting and unclear.I also like the idea that the Energy is always flowing to us but we tend to have blockages that resist this energy. All we have to do is remove the blockages and then we are in freeflow of Univeral Energy.I like the concept of using our feelings to read whether we are in the flow or resisting. Does it feel good or uncomfortable. So if in a moment of Meditation, Tai Chi, Yoga, or a lovely walk you feel this sense of oneness and peacefulness, you are in the zone. Feel that zone of joy and linger in it, living in the moment. Then try to find those great peaceful moments throughout the day, and stay in that great zone of joy.In the book there is a great description of moving from very negative emotions up to the next level and the next, one step at a time. There are also 22 lovely exercises to try anytime.This is a channelled book. Some food for thought on this is if some of the great books of the past had messages sent to the enscribers why can't they now? The Universe is constantly expanding and evolving not locked into the past. Another thought is maybe the message has come from a very wise place deep in the unconcious mind of the receiver?Certainly, this book is a must read for all open minded spiritaully seeking individuals. For more comments on this work go to amazon.com, there's plenty of reviews on there.This is a book for those on a spiritual journey who want to feel joy. It is certainly on of the clearest written books I've read in quite a while on this subject.

It is necessarily repetitive because that is essential for a change from 3D thinking to 4D and beyond to reprogramme our poor little western brains. Tremendous wisdom for one who is searching for enlightenment to do "our bit" in the universe and tapping into source, infinite intelligence. Aligned with ancient scriptures and new thought movement writers and a totally superb interpretation of the practice of laws and principles. Endorsed by those who are equally as wise and choose not to pinch themselves off too. I take advice from those who have what I want and by goodness do The Hicks have it, just like those who endorse the book and share their wisdom to those READY TO HEAR IT. One must be ready as they clearly say. Marvellous thank you. I shall manifest a cruise trip so I can actually meet Esther, a priceless gem.

I had done a course on Cosmic Ordering (Law of Attraction) and I was wanting to know more. My friend recommended this book to me, it's not the easiest of reads, there were several parts I read and re-read. It was very repetitive, typically American in the way it's written, however it's great for making you take stock and reviewing the way you think of things to make them more positive.I enjoyed the 2nd part of the book more than the first part and I have been using some of the processes and I'm trying to be more positive so therefore feel that reading it has been worthwhile as it's helped me to understand why none of my cosmic order has been delivered, because I'm blocking my allowing by the way I have been feeling and also concentrating on what I don't have rather than what I want.If your interested in Law of Attraction then it's worth reading, persevere with the first half as the latter part is more helpful with processes to use, when your at various emotional states.
