Esther Hicks is an American motivational speaker, channeler, and author. She has co-written nine books with her husband, Jerry Hicks, and presented numerous workshops on the law of attraction through Abraham-Hicks Publications. Hicks appeared in the original version of the 2006 film The Secret. She claims to channel a collective consciousness she calls "Abraham."

In the 1980s, her channeling voice was thickly accented, but it has since returned to her relatively native vocal pattern, with a tone and pace slightly different when channeling.

Background: Esther Hicks was born in Coalville, Utah. She married Jerry Hicks in 1980 and has one daughter from a previous marriage. Her work, including the best-selling series on the Law of Attraction, is said to be channeled from a group of non-physical entities known as Abraham. Esther Hicks describes her process as tapping into "infinite intelligence."

Her material was the inspiration behind "The Secret," and she continues to be praised by numerous authors and speakers for her teachings. Abraham is described as "a group consciousness from the non-physical dimension" and has been acknowledged by personalities like Louise Hay and Dr. Wayne Dyer. Esther refers to Abraham as "infinite intelligence," and her husband, Jerry, called them "the purest form of love."
