The Astonishing Power of Emotions: Let Your Feelings Be Your Guide

SUMMARYWith the help of Abraham, a collective group of higher beings who channel their thoughts to Esther, Esther and Jerry Hicks have created another spiritual masterpiece. For those of you who somehow might have missed it, the Hick's first book, ASK AND IT IS GIVEN, started the Law of Attraction movement. It's one of the top 10 spiritual books you must read.The Hick's newest work and this review subject, THE ASTONISHING POWER OF EMOTIONS, teaches how to quickly and easily achieve emotional relief from worries, judgments and other bad feelings. The trick is simple, easy, and doable: just reach for a more uplifting thought about what's going on. The thought doesn't have to be perfectly crafted, spiritually-oriented, religious or complex - just a slightly more elevated thought. Practical, concrete examples of how to do this are provided.The ASTONISHING POWER OF EMOTIONS should be required reading for every Earthling who's angry, guilty, depressed or stuck in a rut, which is pretty much all of us.MESSAGE OF LOVE/HARMLESSNESS:"Pure, positive energy" exists, is real and is vast. Your Inner Being (soul, spirit, God-self) is an extension of this energy. The only way to feel good in every moment is to align with this energy that is your Truth. When you do the work of making yourself feel better, it indicates that a change has occurred, and that's really all you have to do.INSPIRATION:In many religious and spiritual circles, personal desires and getting your own sweet way has a very, very bad name. Wanting something is viewed as the ultimate source of suffering, as selfishness that derives from the ego, or as an inconvenient frustration that's never satisfied. Luckily for us, the Hicks and Abraham give us a more enlightened perspective about desire. The bottom line is that our personal life experience results in the expansion of the universe, and this expansion comes about through our newly discovered preferences about how our life can be improved. "Desire is born out of the contrast you are living...for during that process of knowing what you do not want, the clear, expanded idea of what you prefer instead is born."When a desire is born, we either align with it (the art of allowing) or we resist it. The choice to allow or resist our desires to manifest is what this book is about. Your desires create a kind of current or "stream of life" experiences. Most of us are stuck in the trap of having desires and then blocking them with all our might by paddling against the stream.NOTHING THAT WE WANT IS UPSTREAM. "Everything that you have ever asked for is downstream, where you can easily find it, experience it, possess it, or live it. The Hicks and Abraham tell us to relax into our inevitable legacy. The fastest way to do this is to think of the current or stream as an emotional vibration. We only have to develop one skill: Identifying whether or not the emotion we are having feels good. If it doesn't, you are resisting and paddling against stream. The art of allowing "is the conscious, gentle guiding of your thoughts in the general direction of the things that you desire."RELEVANCE/PRACTICALITY:Everyone suffers from resistance, which is why everyone will benefit from the 33 examples for releasing resistance. Topics include receiving a scary health diagnosis, divorce, disrespectful children, a gay son, people who lie about you, inability to lose weight, getting passed over for a promotion and more. Each example should be read and savored to learn how to let go of the oars and float to the life experience we have imagined for ourselves.ORGANIZATION/READABILITY:The first part of this book explains the concepts of resistance, allowing and emotional/vibrational alignment with Self. The second part shows how to put the concepts into action to feel better about the real-life problems we deal with. It's easy to read, follow and understand. Neutral God terminologies are used that will be acceptable to people of every religion or no religion.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you - Abraham, Jerry and Esther.There are no words that I can express that would fully articulate the gratitude I feel for discovering the works of Abraham-Hicks teachings, which was first unveiled to me by way of the book and movie "The Secret". Their works have opened up a tightly closed flood gate unleashing the joyful freedom of the water that is just rushing through every part of my being. It is nice to be alive and well. Soon with a little practice and reconditioning it will be magnificent.I believe their words and the powerful wisdom behind their words will place you on the path of self awareness, truth, and empowerment. It will have you looking from the inside-out versus the outside-in. It will rock your world and evolve your thinking in profound ways. For the first time in your life, after experiencing a bit of discomfort, maybe even some sadness about the unpleasant time wasted and strong negative emotion about yourself, you will feel extreme clarity - many ah-ha now I get it moments)- freedom within and peace of mind in the knowing and letting go of all that stuff that drags you down, down, down so you can begin a new chapter in the art of living, knowing, experiencing and receiving more of the good stuff you so badly want to bring into your life.I would highly recommend this book to all that are struggling and grappling with emotional discord and haunted thoughts that keep them from living a healthy, fulfilling, rewarding, rich life. I do think you would get something wonderful and valuable out of this reading without any prior exposure to earlier Abraham-Hicks teachings; however I will acknowledge that it was very helpful for me to have some prior knowledge, a basic understanding and introduction, of their teachings before delving into this particular reading for me to truly comprehend and get the most out of the messages expressed in this book. Therefore, I would recommend reading at least one of their earlier works such as "Ask & It Is Given" and/or the "Law of Attraction" first. It will only enhance your appreciation of what you are receiving from "The Astonishing Power of Emotions".Also, I would like to add that I have bought many self-healing, self-enhancement and professional clinical/research based books in the past in pursuit of my wanting to lead a better more purposeful life than what I was experiencing, but no other has spoke to me in a natural, fluid, commonsensical kind of way or has connected and renewed my spirit like the Abraham-Hicks books did and still do. Needless to say, all other books have been recycled and donated with the hope they will be of value to someone else, but for me the Abraham-Hicks Teachings are the rocket launchers that set me straight and in the direction I so desperately want to go. They gloriously sit in my home library just waiting to be referenced time and time again and shared with another if they so choose.Unleash your power from within forever more - live in hope, joy and abundance!

I believe this is the single most influential book I have ever read. This is my third copy of it, because i already gave two away to close friends.What makes it so great is: it not only explains the law of attraction in very practical terms, it gives easy, step-by-step instructions on HOW to use your thoughts (cognitive therapy-style) to adjust your emotions to where you want them. It doesn’t stop at saying “better stay happy or else!” It shows how to gradually, in a few minutes’ time, bring your thoughts around to work for you. This book also explains what to do when you notice you are thinking something negative/undesirable. Don’t just be scared of what you have done! Don‘t just paste a fake smile onto your face and pretend to be happy! Instead: think of what you do want and then start incrementally moving your thoughts in that direction. This book also provides a way to understand the meaning of “signs” that may show up for me (or you!): if the feeling your thoughts are giving you feel good, that’s correct! If the feeling is bad, that’s the wrong interpretation, so keep feeling around for some thoughts that feels better. Phew! If you just can’t think of anything, you can always go to: well, all in good time, and imagine any lovely experience you already know. Or just do a gratitude!Even if the law if attraction turns out to be complete bunkum (which is not my opinion, but even if), following these principles will give a better experience of every moment in which they are practiced, so that is as real as it gets!

This book is life changing!I strongly recommend it for everyone who really wants to live an extraordinary life. So glad I found it!

Es un buen libro que te saca de muchas preguntas. Es fácil de comprender. Si has visto un curso de Milagros o conversaciones con Dios, entonces te va a gustar. Es el mismo tema central .

The media could not be loaded.  I got this book with the law of attraction book of Abraham as my birthday gift in 2024. Abraham is amazing ❤

I think that the whole series of books about Laws of the Universe by Esther and Jerry Hicks in are amazing, as The Astonishing Power of Emotions is.For me those are not something you read once and put on the shelve. I read them every day, well some passages from most, and working on the change and improvement of the way I think.The way those books are written makes it easy to understand, topics appearing to be difficult. and mainly because of societal millennia of conditioning, false belief systems in our upbringing, schooling and religions and so on. The content feels simply right and in place. Nothing contradicts the feeling and it is impossible to disagree if you are open minded and honest with your inner self.It is about two things, the only two things the Universe offers in its laws - positive and negative story, good or bad feeling emotions, and leading to them thoughts. The two are attracting more of the same. As also Napoleon Hill said: 'You become what you think for the most of the time'. So you will get what you are asking for, always.It is about duality and variety of things and power of manifesting whatever you think and feel about, good or bad.It is about allowing instead of earning, it is about inspired action instead of hard work and struggle.We have 6 senses, but most of us utilise only 5 of them, that is vision, hearing, smell, taste and touch but completely neglect the last and far the most important one - emotions. This is what Esther, Jerry and Abraham call a Guidance System. The system that is letting us know where we are heading, in this moment. Are we going to have nice or gnarly experience? Are we making more problems or an easy and prosperous life?Well, it can go for hours but I hope you have an idea.If you read The Secret, then you touched the base but those books open the right doors for you and give you tools to reclaim your natural Well Being.

I have listened to Abraham Hicks recordings and read about the processes the recommend for a few tears now. This book however, clarifies so much of what I already know to be true. If you are ready to enjoy peace, ease and love its a must read.
