Book Review: Ask and It Is given; Learning to manifest your desires. Ester and Jerry Hicks

Brief Summary:

Ask and It Is Given is a foundational book on the Law of Attraction, based on the teachings of Abraham, a group of non-physical entities channeled by Esther Hicks. The book explains how our thoughts and emotions shape our reality and how we can deliberately and purposefully manifest our desires by aligning energetically with what it is that we want. It offers practical processes to raise our vibration, shift limiting beliefs, and attract abundance. The core message is that everything we desire is already available to us—we just need to align with it energetically.

5 Key Points:

1. Your Thoughts Create Your Reality – The Universe responds to the vibration of your thoughts and emotions. What you focus on, whether wanted or unwanted, expands. The universe does not understand when we focus on please don’t let x happen. All is hearsay is the x and the massive focus we are putting in it. We will do ourselves a service by only focusing on what is good and what we want to achieve.

2. The Three-Step Manifestation Process –

• Ask – Identify what you want and set a clear intention.

• It Is Given – The Universe immediately responds and starts aligning circumstances in your favor.

• Allow – The most important step is letting go of resistance and trusting the manifestation process.

Think fancy restaurant! Bear with me, you sit down, you relax, you peruse the menu. , you choose your desired items. There is no point at which you worry that those desired items won’t turn up. We trust in the restaurant. So why don’t we trust in the universe???? Play games with the universe, order what you would like and watch it turn up.

3. Your Emotional Guidance System – Emotions indicate whether you are in alignment with your desires. Joy, excitement, and peace shows you are on the right path, while fear, doubt, and frustration signal misalignment.

4. Raise Your Vibration to Manifest – To attract what you want, you must embody the energy of already having it. Gratitude, visualization, and affirmations help shift your vibration.

5. There Are 22 Powerful Processes for Alignment – The book includes 22 techniques to help shift energy, including scripting, meditation, and the “Wouldn’t It Be Nice If?” method to gently open up to possibilities.

What I Learned / Notes:

• Manifestation isn’t about chasing desires; it’s about aligning with them energetically.

• Negative emotions aren’t “bad”—they are indicators that my thoughts are out of alignment.

• Letting go of resistance (doubt, fear, overthinking) is just as important as setting intentions.

• Gratitude and joy are the fastest ways to shift my vibration and attract what I want.

• The Universe is always responding—I just need to become a better receiver.
