Abraham Hicks: A Practical Guide to Manifestation and Creating Your Desired Reality

Abraham Hicks’s teachings offer practical methods for consciously creating your desired reality through understanding and applying the Law of Attraction. This guide explores specific techniques and approaches for implementing these teachings in daily life to manifest your desires and achieve success.

Understanding the Manifestation Process

The process of manifestation begins with understanding your role as a creator of your reality. Abraham emphasizes that manifestation occurs continuously, whether we’re conscious of it or not. As they state:

Everything is manifesting. Everything is creating. Everything is becoming.

The key lies in becoming deliberate about this process.

The manifestation sequence follows three basic steps:

First, you ask through your natural response to contrast and experience. When you encounter situations you don’t want, you automatically launch rockets of desire for what you do want. This asking happens naturally and continuously.

Second, Source Energy (or the Universe) immediately answers your request, creating a vibrational reality of your desire in what Abraham calls “The Vortex.” This step is automatic and requires no effort on your part.

Third, you must allow your desire to manifest by aligning your vibration with it. This is where conscious practice becomes essential.

Practical Techniques for Alignment

The Emotional Guidance Scale

Your emotions serve as your guidance system, indicating whether you’re moving toward or away from your desires. Abraham provides an emotional scale to help navigate this process:

1. Start by identifying where you are emotionally
2. Choose thoughts that feel slightly better
3. Gradually move up the emotional scale
4. Maintain focus on better-feeling thoughts

Remember that small improvements in how you feel can lead to significant shifts in your manifestations.

Focus Wheels

The Focus Wheel process helps shift your vibration on specific topics:

1. Draw a circle with your desire in the center
2. Around the edge, write true statements that feel good about the topic
3. Gradually work your way around the wheel, each statement building on the previous
4. Notice how your vibration shifts as you focus on positive aspects

Meditation and Quieting the Mind

Abraham recommends daily meditation to reduce resistance and allow alignment:

1. Find a quiet space
2. Set a timer for 15-20 minutes
3. Focus on something neutral like your breath
4. When thoughts arise, gently return to your focus
5. Practice this daily to strengthen your connection to Source

The Art of Pivoting

Pivoting involves consciously shifting your attention from what you don’t want to what you do want:

1. Notice when you’re focusing on unwanted aspects
2. Ask yourself, “What do I want instead?”
3. Deliberately turn your attention to the desired outcome
4. Practice this until it becomes habitual

Creating Success and Abundance

Setting Clear Intentions

Begin by clarifying what success means to you personally. Abraham emphasizes that clarity comes from contrast and experience. Allow yourself to:

1. Acknowledge what you don’t want
2. Use that clarity to define what you do want
3. Focus predominantly on your desired outcome
4. Feel the emotion of having what you want

Success manifests when you consistently align with its vibration:

1. Start each day with positive expectation
2. Notice evidence of abundance around you
3. Practice gratitude for current successes
4. Choose thoughts that feel prosperous

Abraham emphasizes the importance of inspired action versus forced action:

1. Wait for inspiration before acting

The only thing that matters is how you feel right now, because that’s what you’re creating your future from.
