Ask and It Is Given: Learning to Manifest Your Desires Paperback – October 1, 2004

This book is just chock full of very practical advice on how to live your life according to the Law of Attraction as taught by Abraham. The first half of the book is nuts and bolts type of advice, and the second half is processes you can do to help you find more joy in your life. I've done several of the processes already and they work well, at least in the moment, so the key is consistency, you have to work the program, as it were (but that's true for anything). And, what I like most about it is that is so focused on you having fun that it's not a burden or onerous to work the program!! I've studied these types of materials for about 15 to 20 years but never really got into the Abraham 'version' of the Law of Attraction until a few months ago. I've even studied consciousness materials for a number of years. What is so meaningful to me is that these materials combine the key concepts of all of this material (from at least a hundred books I've read in the past 20 years) in a CLEAR, PRACTICAL set of instructions that ANYONE can follow. Very high level stuff, very well put together, with enough repetition to bring the points home and see things from slightly different perspectives. You can use it as a "road map" about how to live your life, your daily, minute to minute experience of life, as it has great sign posts and an easy means to tell how well you're doing. So much of the material out there lacks this clarity, this practicalness, the vivid analogies (for example, they talk about Source Energy as a Stream of Well-Being, it's taking you to what you desire but sometimes we face upstream and try to row upstream, making life much harder than it needs to be, so choose downstream thoughts, thoughts that make you feel better).The notion that you should live your life according to how much joy and love and appreciation you feel in any given moment is WONDERFUL and has changed my life (after diligent study of this type of material for many, many years without much joy) in just a few months!! I'm happier than I have EVER been in my entire life and I'm 56! That's saying a lot, and I am seeing things shifting and changing in my circumstances, in ways that seems bizarre and wonderful in equal measure, but daily taking me closer to my desires. What a ride!!I highly recommend this book. The Getting into the Vortex little book with CD of meditations is also excellent, the meditations are wonderful. I'm also totally in love with the Master Course CD set, wowser, wonderful, high level stuff!! There are also a lot of free materials about the Law of Attraction available on their website, abraham-hicks.com.

"Ask and It is Given" is an inspiring and uplifting guide to harnessing the power of the Law of Attraction and the Law of Vibration. The book offered me practical steps and insights that helped me align with my goals. The tone was clear and encouraging. The book is full of spiritual wisdom; it's a must-read for anyone seeking to take control of their thoughts and create positive change. It is a truly empowering read!

[...]Book ReviewYou came into a 3-D human body and the field of duality to create, as a conscious Deliberate Co-Creator of this Universe! God gives you exactly and INSTANTLY what you ASK for-- without exception! That is, was and always has been the Creator God's and your own Human Creative 'game plan.'Only you can hold back your desired or foreseen "creation" you offer to Universal reality from instantly manifesting. That is what this book is about, and the 22 easy-to-do "processes" offered to assure that you receive what you ASK for in the now!Along with many other well-known authors like Neale Donald Walsch, Louise Hay, Dr Wayne Dwyer, Alan Cohen, Jack Canfield, Doreen Virtue, and many others, I too agree that "this book is a Life Treasure."When bought and gladly gifted to a dynamic indigo friend, here is what he had to say, " It is "a wonderful book - extremely-easy-reading book." My reply was, " The simpler a great profound truth, the closer to PURE reality. The more complex a thought is to understand the further it is from purereality... Max Planck, a great scientist understood this well. He was ableto see this in his science and paraphrased this truth often, for it is true.Besides having any "material" things desired by you, the great truth so simply expressed in ASK And It Is Given, if pondered, understood and put into daily moment to moment practice - will guide you or anyone to their own personal physical body and Human Being Ascension in any ONE lifetime without seeing or knowing "body death."As stated in this book, we all have the innate guidance system to move our thoughts and Well Being toward feeling good and away from what feels negative.It could be "the one book" in a whole lifetime a person needs to read,understand, and PUT to USE.The knowledge gained in it would easily be more than enough outer plane knowledge to enable anyone who chooses to reach physical body Ascension, to attain it, especially during these last few years -- going to our magnificent approaching year 2012 "end times" finale...As explained by the author, in terms of energy, it does not matter if you give attention to the past, present or future--for low or high memories, feelings or thoughts of past, present or future OFFER that particular vibration to the Universe---which MUST, by Law, come back with MORE of the same for you... We each stand in the NOW "point of power" and project what we choose, for what we give attention to MUST manifest in our lives.People focused on lack, keep experiencing lack. However, even poor people focused on feeling prosperous, despite all appearances or SEEMING circumstances in the PRESENT, by law MUST soon manifest prosperity.Of course, if you neutralize your positive thoughts by a wave of sudden contradictory thoughts or feelings it could take many lifetimes to receive what you ASK. While if you offer no resistance, no contradictory thoughts, feelings or actions, you will SOON be experiencing being a Deliberate Creator, as explained in the book, that can have the seeming miracle of INSTANT manifestations as your daily lifestyle.Since www.amazon.com offers such a nice discount on the book, it is a TREASURE you will read, cherish and probably want to buy as birthday or Christmas gifts for your loved ones or close friends...Do yourself a favor---get this book, follow the easy-to-read and easy-to-do instructions and focus on "BeTHERE NOW!" and watch with joy as your wildest dreams come true! I AM certain you will thank me for pointing you to this book, and will probably want to gift it to many others---or at least, steer them toward it...What we give, we receive is what this book is all about, and I AM so very grateful to have been guided to it. I AM sure you will feel the same...We are all so greatly blessed. We are One. When you bless others in any way, you bless yourself... So be it.*******I repeat: obtain this "Treasure-House" book at www.amazon.comP.S. Do yourself a sweet favor, obtain the CD set. You will treasure it too!!
