Esther Hicks (née Weaver; born 1948) is an American motivational speaker, channeler, and author. She has co-written nine books with her husband Jerry Hicks, presented many workshops on the law of attraction with Abraham-Hicks Publications, and has also appeared in the original cut of the 2006 film The Secret. Hicks claims to channel a collective consciousness she calls "Abraham". As with other channellers, she uses a different tone of voice and accent to indicate the entity is speaking through her. In 1976, she met Jerry Hicks, then a successful Amway distributor, and they married four years later. In his early life, Jerry Hicks had been a circus acrobat for two years in Cuba, and then, beginning in 1948, toured for 20 years as a musician, master of ceremonies, and comedian. He had been married several times before meeting Esther.

New Thought teachings

Hicks claims that by attuning their thoughts to the "frequency" of the universe, people will receive whatever they desire. These concepts are present in older American self-help works of the New Thought movement, such as William Walker Atkinson's The Law of Attraction in the Thought World. or was told by Rhonda Byrne that her part would be edited out and that she would receive no royalties beyond the $500,000 already paid. Byrne argued that Hicks outlines concepts that had been previously published.

In 2007, Esther Hicks released her own popular DVD series, The Secret behind the Secret.
