Editorial Review

For almost 20 years Jerry and Esther Hicks have been presenting workshops, producing tapes and writing books to help people create the life they desire. And desire is no small word in this agenda. According to the teachings of "Abraham"--a collective name for the spiritual entities that are channeled through Esther--desire is a good and natural force within us. In fact, we are all here to fulfill our desires, according to Abraham. Yet the reason so much of us feel frustrated, is that we have difficulty knowing how to ask and receive whatever we want to be, do or have.Read more

Loved it. If you actually do what they recommend you will immediately begin feeling better, doesn't matter how bad you feel, you will enjoy results. Then after you feel better, the good stuff starts. Read it, do it, and then be pleasanlty surprised.

Not Quite Abraham
I'm afraid I understand the laws of attraction differently than the Hicks, though I know they profess this to be channeled. I'm quite sure many will benefit from this, yet another in the line of channellings, but for me, I'd have to couple this book with some of Chopra's work, and certainly with Gangi's work, whom I consider a true channel of God. Nevertheless, it provides the daily meditations and answers the need of many, so, good job.

Great Exercises to Support Growing Abundance
I love this book!It is an excellent support system for learning to work with the Law of Attraction.

The Law of Attraction
This book is so totally awesome to the MAX!!!!! I love Esther and Jerry Hicks for providing us with this labor of love teachings of Abraham.I got ripples of pleasure up my spine while reading this incredible book.The words and meaning go to the center of my heart and resonate throughout my entire being.I am so happy and grateful to have this treasure of a book.This understanding of how Law of Attraction works has improved my life over a hundred fold.I can't say enough how much I love and adore these teachings.Life gets better and better when you know that Law of Attraction is working in every aspect of your life and in the world.This is some good stuff indeed!

In a word... inspiring.
Abraham presents an opportunity for those seeking answers.And those answers leads to a life of unlimited abundance and endless opportunities for creating happiness, health, and wealth in simple everyday living.Better yet, the theories presented inspire change within the individual, and in doing so, lead to very apparent change in those around you.It is truly a spiritual guide to connecting, creating, and living. ...

Outstanding Content
Pema is very funny and personable. She cuts throught it and gets to the point with excellent real world examples. What she gives on this CD is something that you can use everyday. Her discussion on "Shenpa" was worh the price of the CD!

Changing Your Perspective
Don't go into situations with specific expectations or you may end up frustrated and angry.The book helps you learn to roll with the punches.We find ourselves in such a rush and that puts extra pressure on ourselves (and the others around us).
You Don't Have to be Buddhist to Get a Lot From This.
I found myself getting stuck in repetitiousthought patterns even after decades of meditation practice.This audio book is one of the best teachings I've ever heard and can apply to anyone with an open mind who is ready to find thekeys to get unstuck.I speak from my experience and the experience everyone I know who listens, to it.I hear things like "life altering changes"."Getting Unstuck" is awesome. Done with a good sense of humor and lots of down to earth wisdom,Pema Chodron has outdone herself with this one.

Smoking stuff
This guy must have been smoking plenty in order to create his lofty and interesting theories. He has developed his ideas from his first book "The power of now". It's very entertaining for a student of zen buddhism to learn about Tolle's ideas and thoughts. For a thoroughly understanding of this text you will benefit learning about zen. Steven Hagen's "Buddhism Plain and Simple" is an excellent source that strips out Buddha's teaching into it's core, without BS.

A review by my Ego
As I was flying back to Vancouver tonight, I finished this book on the plane. I watched in amazement as my mind was waiting in excitement to just get home, sit down in front of my computer and write a review of this book. My mind almost raced at the thought of writing this review, collecting with amazing speed all the merits and shortcomings of this amazing book. But something was different. My excitement was tainted! My Ego, in his hasty planning for a grandiose review didn't even realize that it was being "watched". It happened before, but this time the "watching" went on for much longer and much deeper than before. Boy, my Ego is in trouble now! :) LOL

Bringing Spirituality down to Reality
As someone who has always appreciated and been intrigued by the different religions of the world and the similarities between them, I love how this book makes them all relevant to my life & how I live it.One thing that most impresses me about this book is the author's thoroughness and conviction.In The Power of Now, Tolle basically describes the essence of Being - what it is to be in the now, and what it isn't.He successfully does this by addressing the major life forces that affect our ability to be present - the mind, the body, death, time, space, etc. - without straying from the heart of the book.His knowledge, appreciation and respect for so many of the ancient spiritual teachings, from Jesus, the Bible, Zen, Buddhism, Taoism, and more, is enlightening in itself and supports his message very effectively.Although I didn't agree with every concept in the book, I appreciate the thoughtfulness and compassion with which each is presented.Tolle is a true spiritual teacher who has much to offer in the practice of self-discovery.
A book I go to when I want to become still.
Previous to the first reading of this book, the principles of present moment living, quieting the mind, and being still to become in touch with my intuition or the wisdom of the universe are some I have practiced, along with others, that have enabled me to experience serenity in my life regardless of the circumstances. Though many of the concepts of this book were not new to me, I find this book very valuable. It further expands the understanding of these concepts and adds its own voice to the discussion of these principles with great clarity. It is a book I have read many times and each time, though I may just read a page or two, it quiets my mind and I feel more peaceful.(In my second reading, it helped me to be more peaceful during a time when the doctors believed my son had an inoperable brain tumor.) I have since moved on to read his next book - A NEW EARTH and I am on my third reading. I highly recommend this one as well.

Read It NOW
Francesco Petrarch wrote, "It is appointed to us to lose the present in expectation of the future," or--he might have added--in fretting over the past. Though Eckhart Tolle's message isn't new--it's at least as ancient as the Hindu and Hebrew scriptures--his presentation speaks directly to the modern mind. We are so bombarded by memories, momentary incoming messages, and fears of the future that we lose the only part of life that truly exists: the present moment. His subtitle says it all: "A guide to spiritual enlightenment." You will feel better immediately when you follow his lead into the now. ... Read more

Best book I've ever read - Literallly Life Altering!!
This is absolutely my favorite book and has been for the last 14 years.
Dynamically Magnetic
Ponder's book is, simply put - life-altering!
Changed my thoughts on finances, changed my actions, changed my reality!
Catherine Ponder's book is an excellent guideline to abundance thinking and achieving the reality of prosperity. She gives so many great prayers and affirmations of abundance, as a guideline. My favourite is "I stir up the gifts of God within me and around me and I am blessed on every hand with happiness, success and true achievement."

I found it rather slow-moving
I listened intently but was unable to get beyond the first two CD's -- perhaps I've already heard too much motivational, success-oriented, self-help kinds of things, but this one lacked enthusiam and anything new. Content was OK.

Super!Easy to follow, deep to ponder.
What do you want?Joy? Happiness? Money? Fulfilling relationships?I've tried many workshops, books, classes, even a social work degree, but none have made attaining the things I want in life as easy or fun as Abraham has in this set of CDs.As Jerry Hicks reads the information, you are guided through 22 fun and effective exercises or processes to use to attain all your desires. Fun and Effective! And I really enjoy his voice.

Everyone should read this!!
Was absolutely thrilled w/ the book, so got the CD for my husband, he found it as wonderful as I did, would recommend it to anyone who is searching for something more.... in there lives. ... Read more

Cure HIV/Aids with diet, exercise and castor oil packs?
While I have an excellent understanding of the metaphysical philosopy, the idea that one can diagnose and cure disease such as HIV and Aids with diet, castor oil packs and the like, is absurd. As a registered nurse, my first and only encounter with this author, leaves me unsure, other than book sales, why she would make this claim.
Misses the mark and with leaps in logic to hasty conclusions
I have to preface this review by saying that I am not a Caroline Myss fan.This is not based upon my past religious upbringing, but rather on her approach to an attempted synthesis between the Jewish, Christian and Hindu teachings on metaphysics and energy systems.In short, I think she missed the mark and tried to force fit areas together based more on her assumptions about reality than a natural meshing together of concepts.
mixed feelings
for most of my life, I have felt that a connection exists between our psychological and emotional experiences and the illnesses we develop, that in many ways our illnesses represent a metaphor for the emotional and spiritual crises that we go through.over the course of the last few years I have been exploring different forms of spirituality and healing practices that integrate spirituality with an understanding of the body.in a lot of places I would read references to the idea I described above, of illness as a manifestation of spiritual crises, but no one ever really seemed to go in to the subject at great length.so I was excited when I found Myss's book, as it seemed to delve deeply into this subject, and also explored the relationship between healing and mysticism.

Practicing the Power of Now: Essential Teachings, Meditations, and Exercises from the Power of Now
Having already read the 'Power of Now', I found that "Practicing the Power of Now:..." was much more to-the-point and condensed from the original 'Power of Now'. I thought it wasconcise and much easier to follow. The truths set forth in Echart Tolle's work are not to be glossed over. They transcend every person's religion because you can read his words with 'spiritual discernment' to apply the truths to your life and understand it - no matter what your belief system is. I think every man, woman and child should get aquainted with what the author is showing us. It will change your life for the better if you allow it to.

Very useful publication
Although i have known people reading "Practicing the Power of Now" without having read "The Power of Now," i would suggest to either read the latter first, or both books together: start with pages from "Power of Now," then the pages from "Practicing..." to go deeper into the understanding of the original book.

Only Love can Heal the Soul
When things fall apart it is not the mind that will ultimatley save us but our heart and soul. Our intellect can serve our best interests when it conjures up strategies that align with our hearts. That said, there is a reason why it often takes a tragedy to push someone to reconnect with God and divine inspiration. Not talking about religious addiction ... but rather that miracle of surrendering to the flow and what a more divine plan has in mind. Chodron goes to the "heart" of the matter ... the broken heart that is left in tatters .... where the healing is first and foremost demanded. The cure for the pain lies in the pain ... and in harnessing a greater spiritual force. A must read!

Feeling pretty bad?Read this.
I happened across this book by accident when a lot of things in my life were truly falling apart.Pema Chodron will some day be reknowned as a very significant spiritual leader, if she is not already.She has an amazing way of bringing spiritual truth down to the executional level.You can do these things, and doing them helps - a lot.I can't recommend this highly enough to anyone who is struggling.

During an extremely difficult time in my life, this book found me.Each time I read it I get something new out of the experience.And I always come away feeling more centered, more grounded, more calm.This book has touched me in such a way that I have given away three copies,in fact I am on Amazon tonight to order a fourth.Andthe Compassion box for myself.

Editorial Review

As little children we know how to live in the moment and be completely authentic. But then something damaging happens to us, according to author Don Miguel Ruiz: we are given "knowledge" about how to live in the world. Parents tell us how to behave in order to be a "good" boy or girl. Teachers tell us what it takes to be a "winner" or a "successful" adult. This collective "voice of knowledge" is not only false--it is often poisonous, explains Ruiz, bestselling author of

Reviews (23)

Learn to conquer your inner critic and find your authentic self
Don Miguel Ruiz has a knack for taking complex concepts and simplifying them into basic principles that are easy to digest. In "The Voice of Knowledge", he describes how, as we move from childhood through adolescence and into adulthood, we gradually accumulate unconscious filters through which we interpret everything and everyone we encounter in life. Those filters -- or lies, as he calls them -- color our perceptions, not only about others but about ourselves. We bury our authentic self in layers of interference and succumb to our "inner voice", the critic who convinces us we are not enough. As a result, we feel inadequate, but more importantly, we lose our sense of connection with the Infinite.
Excellent and concise
Much of the teachings of Miguel Ruiz is put into a clear, understandable and absorbable form. There is a sense of empowerment that radiates from these simple concepts and this book has become an often read addition to my readings of the spirit and guidance of these principles that can add so much to living a life well lived.

You can be happy no matter what
I feel so grateful to have studied with Miguel and his mother many years ago. My life was totally transformed. His love and wisdom comes through so clearly in this book. If you apply these words to your life you truly can be happy no matter what is going on around you and magic and miracles can become a way of life.

Great way to pass the time while driving
Very inspirational and easy to follow. Full of great wisdom that makes sense!

It "clicked" for me!
I've been listening to these CD recordings for three weeks now, going over and over this magnificently empowering message from Abraham and delivered through Esther & Jerry Hicks. I was so impressed with their first book -Ask and It is Given- that I just had to listen/read this one as well. For me, I've found that the message is better felt and understood when it reaches inside through hearing and sight simultaneously, let's say in a sort of "stereo" kind of way, so I read the book and listen the CDs at the same time. For anyone who has been looking for a sensible, charismatic, loving and understanable perspective of self, purpose and access to Joy, try this (read, listen or both), there will be no regrets. My own ability to "listen" (as opposed to hear) is limited by -point of view-, that is, it's filtered through belief; only something more powerful than that belief can shake and crumble it allowing acceptance of another that will further growth, understanding and joy. That is the power of this book and that IS what I want and NOW and more than ever before BELIEVE I can have.

Not for me
This audio book would be much better read than listened to. There are certain areas that you will not be interested in, and some areas you'll want to read over and over again. ... Read more

You Can Run But You Cannot Hide...
I find human beings fascinating. We go through life thinking that somehow the world is outside of us, that things just seem to happen to us, that there really is no way to get ahead in life so stop complaining...nobody will listen anyway, right? Most of us just settle for the leftovers...fighting over the scraps like scavenger dogs and yet within the heart and soul of each of us there lives a King...a Queen...that desires to come forth and lay claim to what is rightfully ours to express, extend, and experience. But how do we do this? How do we go from rags to riches? How do we step away from our past and into a glorious present?
Real Magic?
I apologize for the off topic nature of this post, but after reading this book I never got the impression that this was witchcraft magic though I did see a mentioning of black and white magic. I thought that was given as an example. None of the techniques in here (visualizations, mirror technique) seemed "magic"/magick/witchcraft to me. Am I wrong here? Is this REALLY witchcraft?
A Must Read for Everyone
This is my all time favorite book. I have read it about 50 times. It contains the most powerful information you will ever read.

A wonderful message from the Kogi
Once again, Drunvalo has shared a precious jewel with us!
Elegant & inspiring.
I was drawn to Drunvalo's Flower of Life teachings after being approached by a complete stranger who introduced me to them via his website.I found those volumes to be enjoyable but quite intense.On the other hand, Living in the Heart is a simple and easy book to read almost in one sitting.Yet it holds some powerful and simple observations and experiences about our world.The heart is where feelings are made manifest in our physical world, and it's our feelings that speak to the Mind of God, or the hidden field of intelligence as described by Gregg Braden (God Code, Isaiah Effect) and Lynne McTaggart (The Field).Our feelings communicate with the 99% of the energy in our world which is invisible to our eyes and ears.Following the heart reminds me of Stalking the Spirit, or following heart and gut feelings which can be an incredibly exciting journey.The times I have done it I've found myself surrounded by events and open doors my rational mind is unable to explain.If we want to change our world we must first become the feeling through prayer, rather than "thinking for" something, and then trust our creative essence.
One more step
Drunvalo has done it again.This book gets straight to the point. He shares his experiences and those of others in his seminars that have reached the sacred space within the heart, and he explains the processes and techniques he uses to enter this space. Reading this book will leave you remembering something you have always known.Doing the meditations and entering the sacred place will change your life! ... Read more

Pronoia Pleasure
Wonderful, eclectic book...filled with nuggets of wisdom, sassy observations, truth-seeking insights.New.Unusual.Not for the scaredy-cats of philosophy, religion or politics.The sort of book that lends well to thumbing through at leisure, or flipping through backwards. Or upside down, or inside out. A great book to find refuge in when the prison-camps of corporate life and stultified living are overwhelming.I plan to give copies to everyone I know and to quote some of the more outrageous thoughts in the faces of my dreariest, most conservative acquainances.Loved the book.Recommend it highly.

Thoughts Have Consequences
I have used these cards for about six months now in all sorts of situations. I find the repetitiveness useful. Marketing studies will tell you that people need to hear a message about 23 times before it becomes 'embedded' in their thought processes and they actually act on it. We are bombarded with all kinds of affirmations positive and negative, so many in fact that we can't even begin to count them. Here is a very easy way to set the tone for the day or a conversation or a project, to broach a difficult discussion or to prompt a written inspirational essay. What is true is that on a particularly hectic day you'll find yourself repeating a power thought that has maintained a particular appeal for you, and you will find yourself breathing more easily and getting through what may be a very difficult moment. I've bought two sets, one to keep and one to give away and I have a feeling this friend will not be the last one I buy them for!
...there's no place like home....there's no place like home...
Like Dorothy, I wish I could just click my heels and say any affirmation on these cards, and somehow it would manifest itself. I am a student of many self-help books and these cards remind me of some of the ones I have read. I'm sure the author of the cards has read and used many of
