This weekend I did something very Woo-y. I went to an Abraham-Hicks Law of Attraction workshop! For some, Abraham-Hicks and their teachings can seem really out there. For others, Abraham-Hicks seems totally normal.
It all depends on your view of the Woo.
In short, Esther Hicks channels a collective consciousness known as Abraham, and the teachings of Abraham help us to understand how to use the Law of Attraction to manifest our desires. During workshops, Abraham invites audience members who raise their hands to come to the stage, sit in the “hot seat,” and ask Abraham questions, like — how do I deal with an overprotective Mom? How do I manifest lots of money? How do I heal myself?
While seeing Abraham in person can be very Woo-y, the entire experience surrounding this workshop was Woo-y for me.
To begin with, going to this workshop happened on a whim. At the end of January, I wondered if there would be any Abraham workshops in SF in 2020. So I logged onto the Abraham Hicks website and BOOM! There was going to be a workshop in San Francisco! In eight days! On a Saturday morning when I had NO PLANS!
Even better — tickets were still available.
Even better — rooms were available at the hotel where the workshop was taking place for LESS than the rate Abraham-Hicks had negotiated.
The weekend kept unfolding like that — easily, pleasantly, full of good surprises. The hotel turned out to be really nice, with waterfront access where you could sit peacefully, watching the ducks swim in the calm San Francisco bay while planes took off in the distance from SFO. (I captured this view in the photo above).
On the morning of the conference, I sat there for 15 minutes, taking in this view and centering myself. When I headed inside to drop by the hotel Starbucks, there was NO LINE. It only took 1 minute for my chai latte to come out, complete with my name printed correctly in big, bold, capital letters on the cup!
Then, I had no problem getting a seat with a decent view, and I sat between two very nice women. One was celebrating her birthday and gave herself a ticket to the workshop as a gift. Another had just moved to SF. When she found out there was an Abraham-Hicks workshop close by, she knew she had to attend.
When the workshop got underway, most of the audience’s questions were intriguing and mirrored many of my own.
And then, when it was all over, and all of us streamed outside, it only took 5 minutes for the valet to bring my car around, and I zoomed on home to Napa with no traffic.
It was a weekend of seeing the Woo in action, and I chose to end it by floating for an hour in a sensory deprivation pod to meditate and relax.
I think I fulfilled my Woo for the weekend (and perhaps the rest of the week).
