Energy Experiments Really Work
By lgmf
Several months ago I heard an advertisement for this book while listening to Hay House Radio. My immediate response was, “I need that book!” Being the book junkie that I am though, it isn’t (currently) in my budget to buy every book that sounds interesting to me. So I looked it up at the library. No copies. Drat!Several weeks later, I spontaneously found myself browsing the Hay House site and came up on their blogger community. That, I now realize, was miracle #1. This community allows bloggers to receive copies of certain books for free in exchange for a review posted to the blogger’s website. I signed up for the program and received the book just a few days later.If you’re into spirituality, the power of intention, quantum physics, or anything along those lines, you would love this book. It’s absolutely perfect for the person who has done extended reading on the topics (me!) but can’t manage to move beyond the feeling of being stuck. Sure you may come up on a little proof of the Universe working in your favor now and then, but it’s soon forgotten and sucked into the void of feeling like you have no power over your life.This book provided me with the necessary guidance I needed to truly know that my thoughts have power through 9 cut and dry exercises. The best part is, Ms. Pam Grout is writes in a language that is accessible, humorous and the very opposite of boring. The lessons are concise, to the point, and best of all – offer NO ROOM FOR QUESTIONING. At the end of each experiment you KNOW that God heard your plea.When it all boils down to it, what these experiments aim to do is solidify our faith. You either believe or you don’t. You can’t be wishy washy and that’s where most of us get stuck. You also can’t send mixed signals… Like, “I really want to lose weight, but I also really want to have 10 pieces of chocolate cake today.” You have to be honest with yourself about what you really want. That’s the other place where we get stuck. We don’t truly know what we want.Through practicing the experiments in this book, you can begin to hone in on what it is you’re truly asking for. As Grout states, begin with simple things first. Some things take longer than others. Don’t expect to become a millionaire over night. Also, keep your eyes and intuition open. You have to recognize that your question and desires have been answered. Sometimes the answers don’t come the way you wanted, or expected. Most important of all though, is don’t waiver in your belief. Most spiritual traditions teach this critical element and now it’s backed up by science. The observer creates and changes the observed. It’s true.Finally, just to prove to you that I’m not just writing this for naught, I will share two stories about thoughts/things I manifested while going through the experiments in this book. The first one comes in the form of a Needak rebounder (a mini trampoline). I’ve wanted one for several years, and have had a cheap one in the past, that only lasted me about two months. I had only been reading E-Squared for a couple of hours when suddenly the word “rebounder” popped into my mind. A few minutes later I was on Craigslist where, lo and behold, someone was selling two Needak rebounders for half of their original price. I have NEVER seen a Needak on Craigslist in all the years I’ve been looking for one.I now own the rebounder. And, just to add to the delight of the story, it’s worth noting that the person I bought it from – the complete and total Craigslist stranger – was also very much into miracles, Wayne Dyer and other things along this course. She even had the words, “I am entitled to miracles” written on her forearm. There’s no denying God in this equation.The second example is a little more subtle. I happened to drop my camera right on it’s lens in the middle of my son’s birthday party. I had experienced trouble with the lens before and tried everything I could to fix it. I couldn’t. I was sure that this was it for my poor little camera, which I actually use for one of my jobs. Drat again! A little later in the day, one of the chapters was guiding me to manifest something specific, immediately my mind told me what I wanted, “a camera!”A few minutes later I found myself on YouTube looking up instructions on how to fix my camera. Even though I had already given up on it. I pretty much thought I was about to take it apart and really ruin it. Instead I came up on a simple tutorial that said to slap the camera on your palm and gently guide the lens out. Can you believe this worked? Suddenly the lens that was absolutely stuck and would not move a millimeter was working just fine. I had a camera again. Sure, it wasn’t a new camera, but I gave the Universe 48 hours to give me a camera and I had one within 30 minutes. I accepted it with gratitude.Please don’t think that the only thing you can manifest are material objects. These examples are important because we like to be able to see things physically. But we can also use this book to ask for guidance and to help manifest peace and love in our hearts – that’s where the real power lies. Like I said before, it’s really about cultivating and maintaining faith. So yeah, read this book. I got it for free, but if I knew then what I know now, I would have gladly paid for it. Thanks Pam Grout and thank you Hay House!

Loved the experiments
By Great
E Squared by Pam GroutPam Grout is my new favorite author. I enjoyed reading this book so much that I would love to read and know more from her. E Squared is easy to read, fun, all the ideas are scientifically supported, credible and something that sets this book apart from the others is that Pam gives us experiments to prove that our thoughts really do create our reality. I tried the experiments, and I was blown away by most results I had; this is my experience:Experiment #1 The Dude Abides Principle: I got a ticket to see Eckhat Tolle and Deepak Chopra at the Chopra Center in Carlsbad, California. How cool is that!!Experiment #2 The Volkswagen Jetta: I didn’t see any sunset-beige cars, but I saw lots of yellow butterflies while watching Baby Einstein with my kids.Experiment #3 The Alby Einstein: I got rid of all my wire hangers in my last Spring Cleaning, so I couldn’t do this experiment.Experiment #4 The Abracadabra: What I learned from this experiment is that you have to be specific when asking for something to manifest. I focused on getting $ 5,000 but I didn’t specify if I wanted them in cash of check, so what I got was a spam e-mail with a picture of lots of bills a huge sign ” Win $ 5,000″ in the bottom of the e-mail.Experiment #5 The Dear Abby: I asked God and my Angels for guidance on how to make my business more succesful, and what I got at the next morning was a bunch of creative ideas, and something made me yell YES!!Experiment #6 The Super Hero: Haven’t started this experiment yet.Experiment #7 The Jenny Craig: I lost 1 pound by just thinking every zip of water would clean my organism.Experiment #8 The 101 Dalmatians: The friend I was thinking about and sending lots of blessings and happiness, rarely posts comments in Facebook, however at the second day of my experiment, she posted a picture of her beautiful growing vegetable garden and expressed how happy she was about it. That same night I was watching a movie and it turned out it was filmed in Verona,Italy; the city this friend is from.Experiment #9 The Fish and Loaves: My favorite gesture of gratitude was a little happy dance a homeless man did when I gave him a dollar bill in my way to work.

E-squared. Read it…Reality is waiting!
By Carleney
Gold. 6 out of 5 stars.You know those movies, or concerts, that are just so fab that time disappears and it seems like they only last for ten minutes and you just wish they would never stop?Well this was the book version of that. If I have one criticism it’s that it is not long enough.The book?’E-squared: Nine Do-It-Yourself Energy Experiments that Prove Your Thoughts Create Your Reality’The author?Pam Grout: [...]What’s it about?In a nutshell…..the law of attraction baby! And yes, I KNOW we have heard so much about this recently, and there are SO many books on the topic that all started to get popular due to that infamous little title The Secret. But if the law of attraction is such an easy concept to master, wouldn’t we would all be manifesting millions and have lives of our dreams? well I don’t know about you, but for the majority of people, this just isn’t happening.Why not?Well, for a start, it’s because deep down inside, we really don’t believe that it’s possible. And this disbelief is preventing what we say we want from forming a place in reality. We put out messages that we want, say, a pony, but then at the same time we are thinking that it’s probably not going to happen. And thus the net result is NOTHING.Pam Grout takes this disbelief and helps you shove it to the side for enough time to show you that the law of attraction works. Like, seriously. And in a pretty neat way too. She has a way of taking complicated concepts and explaining them in a humorous, totally easy to understand manner. Works for me, especially with the attention-span of a child with ADD…The key to the success of this book are that there are actual real-life experiments to do, to not only get some of the stuff you really want, but to prove to YOURSELF that this whole thoughts becoming reality stuff works. Of course, I was skeptical to start with… I always thought that this stuff only happened sometimes, and more for other people (you know, the rich, successful ones featured in The Secret) than for me.But. Enter experiment number One: The Dude Abides Principle. Basically here – after Pam has not only convinced you to give it a try but really really got you wanting to very very badly – you ask the energy force for a blessing, just to let you know it is actually there. Yes I got one! Of course I did….Well, you say, this could just be coincidence. But time after time, experiment after experiment, she pulled me in and the energy force delivered. I got ACTUAL REAL-LIFE things that I asked for.If you have any inclination toward this at all, or if you are a massive skeptic, or if you just want to laugh out loud,… I highly recommend this book.And uh – be careful what you wish for!!FTC Disclosure: I received this book for free from Hay House Publishing for this review. The opinion in this review is unbiased and reflects my honest judgment of the product.
