At last, I finally get it! Let go of the oars. Actually, this stuff works... - Rated 
I have been through plenty of Esther Hicks / Abraham stuff: books, CDs and information on the web, but the CD that comes with this book (a recording of Esther channeling live) finally helped me "get it".
If you're fed up, angry, frustrated or depressed, just stop trying so hard to paddle up stream. Try letting go of the oars, float downsteam and watch the magic start to happen. If you're ready, it's life changing.
The message comes across loud and clear via the CD and the early chapters of the book.
Then, if you're like me and like examples to help you apply the message, the rest of the book covers almost every "sh** happens" scenario in life, with advice direct from Abraham. It really resonated with me and the "rowing boat" / "stream" metaphor works well for people who might not feel so comfortable with the esoteric nature of Abraham's / Esther Hicks' earlier books.
So if you want to send the message to your mum, this is the book to choose.
I hope it helps you let go of the oars!

This book does what it says. Put to practice, it will change your life!
But an open mind is a must! And no, i am not a middle aged, "new age" hippy. Coming from a good looking male in his 20s :-), this book makes sense! The 33 various examples in the book are a great way of implementing the techniques.
I was also in the states recently and happened to catch Esther Hicks on XM 56 (Oprahs digital radio channel). Being interviewed by big O herself. Oprah more or less agreed and held these laws as a testament to her success, esp with everything about going downstream and letting go of your "oars" etc.
Honestly for under a tenner and for something that WILL change your perspective on life for the better, you'd be crazy not to get this book.

One of Abraham's best books.It's wonderful that you can feel much better about something that is giving you negative emotions simply by thinking positive thoughts about it,although this can be very challenging.
The book repeats itself alot but i still found valuable ideas on every page and some breathtaking statements on the power of the law of attraction (LOA).
I became aware of the power of the LOA before i'd ever heard of it because from 2005 so many things in my life appeared shortly and in some cases immediately after thinking about them,usually silly and unique things.I can understand those who think the LOA is nonsense because until you experience something like this it can be very difficult to believe,but in my life the LOA is undeniable.
Isn't it amazing that it is so simple! - Rated 
We have been educated with so much worldly diversities and it seems more natural for most of us live in worries and fears of tomorrow. Now it is revealed that we can easily find our path and retrieve the magic by fallowing our inner guidance, communicated to us by our emotions. this book is kindly written and wisely spoken, many of us will be benefited if we could all remember finding that happy little voice of our hearts. Highly recommended for those who wish to stay true to the soul's intention of coming into to this life we each create.

I feel that this is one of the most easiest Abraham books to follow and utilise.
I find it impossible to believe that if you truly follow the teachings in this book and seriously 'listen' to your emotions that you will not make changes in your life.
Those of you who have read any of the Abraham books and found you were disappointed with the results are not really 'listening' to, or 'feeling' your emotions. Somewhere in your subconscious mind you are holding on to negative self-doubt and disbelief.
My family, partner and colleagues have all noticed subtle changes in me, in a very short time. They all remark on how much more 'chilled' I am, how much more able to cope with anything that comes my way (and these days it is nothing I dont expect or ask for!) and my teenage daughter recently described me as 'cool'! What more could a Mum ask for??!!
I feel that after reading this book the 'Ask and It is Given' teachings and tasks have become easier. Simply because I really take notice of my emotions and how I am feeling in every 'segment' of my day. That way I am able to calm my mind, 'let go the oars' and simply drift 'downstream'. Having spent a lifetime of paddling upstream and having had the stress levels and illnesses to prove it, I am indebted to these wonderful books.
It is really about doing the 'inner' work before you see the results. Dont forget - as Abraham teaches; you can change yourself, not the world. But by changing yourself, your world ultimately has to change with you.
Wonderful, life changing stuff!
