Ch. 1 Ch. 1 Ch. 1 Ch. 1 ---- Introduction to the Law of Attraction Introduction to the Law of Attraction Introduction to the Law of Attraction Introduction to the Law of Attraction Perhaps you’ve heard the buzz about the best-selling book “The Secret” and the
law of attraction. Maybe you’ve even read “The Secret” and wondered exactly how
to make the law of attraction work in your love
life. This ebook will go deeper into the specifics,
giving you explanations on how and why the law
of attraction works.
CONSCIOCONSCIOCONSCIOCONSCIOUS & SUBCONSCIOUS MINDUS & SUBCONSCIOUS MINDUS & SUBCONSCIOUS MINDUS & SUBCONSCIOUS MIND
The first important concept to understand is how
both the conscious and subconscious minds
work. The subconscious mind controls 96 to
98% of our perceptions. It sees all pictures and
patterns. It can’t differentiate between reality and lies. It believes every image it
sees. It knows only one time: now. It doesn’t distinguish between “good” and “bad.”
Lastly, it contains our entire life’s worth of memory.
On the other hand, the conscious mind is responsible for just two percent of the
things that manifest in our lives. It looks for familiar pictures and patterns. It sets
goals and judges the results of
our achievements. It knows past
and future. Unlike the
subconscious mind, which is
responsible for our dreams, the
conscious mind needs 6-8 hours
of sleep per night. Lastly, the
conscious mind can only hold a

thought for 20 seconds at a time.
How is this useful? You can use your conscious
mind to reprogram your subconscious mind. With
its power in creating 96 to 98% of what we draw
into our lives, this reprogramming will allow you
to turn your subconscious mind into your genie in
a bottle. Simply put, the conscious mind provides
all the “food” for the subconscious mind. So, if
you feed your subconscious mind the right
thoughts, you can manifest absolutely anything
into your life.
ENERGYENERGYENERGYENERGY
What does this have to do with finding Mr. or
Ms. Right? Everything in the world is made
up of energy--whether it is a table, a person,
a dog, or even a thought. Not to simplify
quantum physics too much, but, in a nutshell,
like energy attracts like energy. Think of how
a hurricane forms--like a magnet the powerful
force of the hurricane’s energy attracts all of
the wind, pressure, and clouds anywhere
near it.
This knowledge is so overwhelming, it has the
power to change everything in everyone’s life!
If you don’t believe in quantum physics,
consider this quote from Albert Einstein: “Do

---- William James William James William James William James
you remember how electrical
currents and ‘unseen waves’ were
laughed at? The knowledge about
man is still in its infancy.”
So, if thoughts have energy, and if
like energy attracts like energy,
what does this tell you about your
current situation? If you have consistently had thoughts of loneliness, you’ve only
attracted more loneliness to you. If you’ve worried frequently about breaking up,
you’ve drawn a break-up to you. If you’ve told yourself time and time again, “I’m
never going to meet Mr. Right,” then you’ve ensured that Mr. Right wasn’t going
to cross your path.
LAW OF ATTRACTIONLAW OF ATTRACTIONLAW OF ATTRACTIONLAW OF ATTRACTION
The law of attraction, or the law of vibration as
it is sometimes called, is essentially this
phenomenon in action. You are not the victim
of fate! Everything in your life is the result of
this law--absolutely everything! Another way to
think of the law of attraction is with the old
saying “Birds of a feather flock together.”
In the book Finding Your Soul Mate, Michael
states:
“The Magnetic Universe is the cause of all dual effects we see and experience in our three-dimensional Electric Universe. Your soul mate is attracted to you because you both radiate the same magnetic qualities. Like always seeks like…The one who is like you is naturally attracted to you, and vice versa. This attractive

To change what you are attracting
into your life, you must change your
vibration, your energy. It is
imperative to dwell on what you
want, rather than on what you fear
or what you dislike. Sometimes your
vibration or mindset is referred to
as a “paradigm” (pronounced “pair-
a-dime”).
PARADIGMSPARADIGMSPARADIGMSPARADIGMS
Your paradigm is your
subconscious mind--your
attitudes, beliefs, decisions,
and behaviors. Some
people have an optimistic
paradigm, while others are
pessimistic. Some people
are dreamers, while others
tend to be planners. Your
thoughts control your
paradigm and vibration
(energy), which dictates
what you attract into your
life. Your paradigm drives
all of your behavior, and

your behavior drives all of your results. Unless
your paradigm shifts, any law of attraction
changes or improvements that you see in
your life will be temporary at best.
If you want different results from life, you
must change your paradigm. It is imperative
that you do not give any attention to feelings
of lack, loneliness, or unworthiness. When you
catch a negative thought popping into your
head, simply be aware of it, and think
something positive instead. This can require
some genuine hard work for awhile--just like
changing any other bad habit. Once it
becomes routine, you will see amazing results
in your love life and everywhere else.
WORTHINESSWORTHINESSWORTHINESSWORTHINESS
Another important factor that for most
people is unknowingly pushing your ideal
mate away from you is how you feel about
yourself. Sadly, most people believe deep
down inside that real love doesn’t last, that
they don‘t believe in true love any more,
that they don’t deserve a ideal mate, or that
they’re such a crummy person that a happy
marriage will never happen for them.
It can be very challenging to change many

of these deeply-ingrained (and often subtle,
hidden) beliefs. Get out of your own way and be
patient with yourself. Give it time. Know that
the universe knows what’s best and will always
send you what you send it, which will be sent to
you at the exact right time. Be patient. Have
faith!
One way you can boost your own self-love and
worthiness is by reminding yourself that
everybody is worthy of having anything they
want! Yes, even you! Even if you’ve done things you’ve regretted in the past, it
doesn’t diminish your worthiness in any way. Everyone has made mistakes, and yet
everyone is still deserving of their highest and best relationship.
Try this activity. Ask yourself what your fears are when it comes to relationships.
Are you afraid of being abandoned? Opening your heart to trust someone? Being
cheated on? Being deceived? Being taken advantage of? Being verbally,
emotionally, or physically abused? Becoming unhappy and then having to break
up with the person? Make a list of these fears--
be specific--then work to mentally recondition
yourself. We will discuss this in greater detail in
some of the upcoming chapters.
Furthermore, know that you don’t need to give,
give, give in a relationship. You don’t need to
barter or settle. Consider some of these
statements from these best-selling and popular
relationship books:

How does it feel? Can you genuinely tell yourself
this, or did you have to “fake it”? If you said I
love you to yourself any less enthusiastically than
you’d want your ideal mate to say it, then keep
doing this exercise once a week throughout the
time you are actively involved with the steps in this ebook. You will know when
you have internalized true feelings of self-love and worthiness when you can tell
yourself “I love you” without a degree of awkwardness or loathing.
NEVER GIVE UPNEVER GIVE UPNEVER GIVE UPNEVER GIVE UP
It can be daunting to face or accept the challenges needed to ready yourself for
your highest and best relationship.
Never lose sight of your goal, even temporarily. Your success will be determined
by your constant progress toward your own dream. Remember, you can have
whatever you want. You deserve whatever you want. When you follow the steps in
this ebook for a week, then “take a day off,” you are sending out a mixed
message to the universe. Mixed messages can only yield mixed results, at best.
The direction you choose will determine if you
realize your ideal.
If you dedicate yourself body and soul to this goal,
you have nothing to lose. It is free. It won’t make
you break a sweat. There are no negative side
effects. So, here is your challenge…before you even
read about the 7 steps I will outline, commit yourself
to this process for at least 90 days. You must make
this commitment willingly and happily--knowing that,
by making this choice, you are agreeing to accept

your highest and best relationship into
your life. Sixty to 90 days is the bare
minimum time frame needed for your
self-perceptions and paradigm to truly
change.
MY STORYMY STORYMY STORYMY STORY
Four years ago, I was happily engaged, and my future seemed bright. Out of
nowhere, my fiancé and I broke up. I was completely and utterly devastated.
Telling my family and friends the sad news and having to “un-do” wedding plans
was practically unbearable for me. I was living in a hell on earth. I felt empty and
alone. I assumed that because the past was “bad,“ that the future would be too. I
constantly berated myself with thoughts of, “How could this happen to me?” and
“What have I done to deserve this?”
What I am grateful for is that this misery pushed me to begin searching for
answers. I read books. I talked to counselors. I meditated. I did extensive soul
searching. None of this really gave me the information I needed though. I needed
to know why this pattern of heartache
was in my life. Why did it seem like I
was sabotaging myself?
Then I met my mentor. All of the
knowledge and answers I needed were
soon revealed.
The first thing my mentor taught me was that I had issues with worthiness and
trust. I expected the worst and, therefore, that’s exactly what I got! Because I
didn’t trust, of course, I attracted untrustworthy people. It was a vicious cycle that

life."life."life."life." ---- The SecretThe SecretThe SecretThe Secret
I was creating without even realizing it.
The second thing my mentor showed me was that I concentrated on what I didn’t
want. I was afraid and worried about breaking up, being single again, and feeling
lonely. Once again, my thoughts, like magnets, drew break ups, being single, and
loneliness to me. Additionally, I was attracting other people to me who expected
to be walked out on and abused.
The first thing my mentor advised me to do
was figure out exactly what I wanted. As
long as I just had the attitude that I would
take whatever came along, then that’s what
I’d be settling for. I had some tough
decisions to make: did I want my ex-fiancé
back, or was I looking for a different
person? If I wanted a different person, what
characteristics would that person possess?
Once I figured out exactly what I wanted, I
set out doing the steps set forth here. I
reprogrammed my mind, making that 90
day commitment to myself. Another valuable insight my mentor gave me was
“fake it ’til you make it.” While I had heard this saying before, it had never really
been clear to me until that time. If I “put on a happy face,” or acted happy, it was
easy to become happy. I had to fake “happiness” at first, but even the outward
happiness raised my vibration. This raised vibration made it easy for my inside to
feel genuine happiness shortly thereafter.
The results were literally mind-blowing. It was like I turned into a “chick magnet.” I
had more worthy women to date then I had time to date them. I had to actually
http://avosscoaching.com/ • 14
remove myself from dating with this
onslaught of new prospects because I
didn’t feel completely healed yet from
my split with my fiancé. One of the
most important things that this
experience taught me though was the
power of my own thinking, my own
consciousness, my paradigm. My
entire outlook transformed. My confidence and self-esteem sky rocketed. I felt alive
and happy, knowing that my highest and best relationship was a reality.
Once I started dating again after my 6 month respite, I wasn’t devastated by
break-ups because, again, I loved myself and refused to settle. My belief that my
true love was on her way to me was unshakeable.

Everyone is familiar with the popular quote from the
Bible: “Ask and ye shall receive.” What does this mean?
Is it real? What about all the times you asked for
something and didn’t get it? Let’s look to the ground-
breaking book Conversations With God by Neale Donald
Walsch. In the book, we are given this guidance on
manifesting things in our lives:
“No prayer--and a prayer is nothing more than a fervent statement of what it so--goes unanswered. Every prayer--every thought, every statement, every feeling--is creative. To the degree that it is fervently held as truth, to that degree will it be made manifest in your experience…Yet what you must know--and here is the secret--is that always it is the thought behind the thought--what might be called the Sponsoring Thought--that is the controlling thought. If, therefore, you beg and supplicate, there seems a much smaller chance that you will experience what you think you are choosing, because the Sponsoring Thought behind every supplication is that you do not have what you wish. That Sponsoring Thought becomes your reality.”
With this knowledge, think back on how you’ve
gone about asking for your highest and best
relationship in the past. You can see how all
creation unfolds. First of all, if you love yourself
and know you are deserving of the best life has
to offer, your Sponsoring Thought will already be
vibrating on the right level. Even if you have high
self-esteem and self-regard, that doesn’t
automatically mean you think you are deserving
of a dream-come-true relationship.
When you ask for your highest and best
relationship, you really aren’t going to “ask” for

anything. You will know. Because you love yourself the
way your ideal mate will love you, and you know you
deserve to be with that ideal mate, the work is already
done.
Here is another way to think about it. In the 1992 NBA
Finals, Michael Jordan scored 35 points in the first half
of Game One against the Portland Trailblazers. Jordan
himself had this to say about his mind-boggling
performance, “The first one [three-pointer] felt so good, I had to take more. I
couldn't miss. The threes were like free throws; they just kept dropping. I didn't
know what was happening. I was in a zone. What can I say? I don't know how to
explain it."
As you “ask” for your highest and best relationship, you will be like Michael
Jordan in “the zone.” You will know that your ideal mate is coming your way--
period. As Jordan said, you don’t even have to know how it could possibly
happen. It doesn’t have to be feasible. Maybe you’re
in prison or on an extended tour of duty on a
men’s-only Navy submarine--it doesn’t matter. You
are in the zone, all the time, knowing, as Jordan
did, that every shot you throw up will swish
beautifully through the net. Just because Jordan
had missed three-pointers in the past, did not
mean he had to miss any in that game. The same
is true for you--your past does not have to equal
your future.
One of the most important things you need to
know to accomplish your goal of finding your
http://avosscoaching.com/ • 17
highest and best relationship is how to pray, how to “ask.” Let’s turn again to
Conversations With God.
The book says:
“You will not have that for which you ask, nor can you have anything you want. This is because your very request is a statement of lack, and your saying you want a thing only works to produce that precise experience--wanting--in your reality. The correct prayer is therefore never a prayer of supplication, but a prayer of gratitude. When you thank God in advance for that which you choose to experience in your reality, you, in effect, acknowledge that it is there…in effect. Thankfulness is thus the most powerful statement to God.”
This brings us to Step #2 of our process…gratitude.

of paper and a pen. Write down as many things as
you can think of that you are thankful for. Maybe
you’re thankful for being in good health, for being
young, for this ebook finding its way to you, for your
great sense of humor, for your warm heart, or for
your awesome job. There are a ton of things to be
grateful for.
As you “ask” for your highest and best relationship,
an attitude of gratitude will instantly raise your

people, things, and experiences to you. The next
time you find that impossible parking spot right in
front of the store or all the traffic lights are green
for you, know that gratitude is at work in your life.
Now, you have even more to be thankful for. The
cycle of gratitude will just keep perpetuating itself.
The more gratitude you express, the more rapid
your desire will manifest in your life. Or, think of it
like this, the more grateful you are, the more the
universe will give you to be grateful for.
Always concentrate on what you have. If you
should ever forget some of the numerous gifts in
your life, pull out your handy dandy list. As you
look over the list, close your eyes for a moment
and recall an instance when you experienced that
gift. For example, if you are thankful for your
sense of humor, close your eyes and re-live a
happy memory when you made a big group of
people laugh or when you brought everyone in that office meeting to tears with
your funny impression. Reconnect with the joy of that experience. Emotionalize it.
As you do this, you can say to yourself, “Thank you for this gift of making others
laugh.” Your thank you can be directed to the universe, to God, or to any higher
power you connect with.
There are many, many ways to squeeze gratitude into your life. When you are in
the shower, say 10 things you are thankful. When you fall asleep, sit in traffic, or
ride the elevator, send out a shot of gratitude to the universe. As you verbalize
these things, re-live or recall the experience like it’s happening right at that
moment. The more you connect with, or emotionalize, your gratitude, the more

potent its power is. This potency translates into increasing your vibration and
attraction. Also, always choose to say your thankful statements out loud, rather
than in your head (if appropriate) because this will give your words more passion,
and, thus, more power.
If you merely rattle off ten neutral things you are thankful for and don’t connect
with the things, you might as well be reading
a shopping list to the universe. Know that
conscious awareness of your vibration is called
a feeling. When you actively feel the
thankfulness, that is when you will have the
most power.
Even in bleak situations, you can always raise
a sinking energy level in yourself by focusing
on what you’re grateful for. For example, let’s
say you are waiting in a really long line at
your bank, and you’re in a hurry. As you feel
your energy get stressed, worried, anxious, or
annoyed, take a deep breath and center
yourself by saying a few things in your head
that you’re thankful for, such as:
� “I am so happy and grateful now that I am in a bank with air conditioning.”
� “I am so happy and grateful now that I have money in the bank.”
� “I am so happy and grateful now that my bank has no line.”
� “I am so happy and grateful now that I am alive!”
� “I am so happy and grateful now that life is always good to me.”
� “I am so happy and grateful now that I am receiving all the good I desire.”
http://avosscoaching.com/ • 20
By reconnecting with your attitude of gratitude, you will
actively feel happiness replace anxiety and worry. When
you can sense this happen, you know you’ve succeeded
in consciously changing your vibration. Let this serve as
a further reminder to you that you do have the power to
attract your highest and best relationship into your life.
If doing this still does not cleanse your energy, and you
find yourself still holding onto some anger about the
past or present, try this: write down on a piece of paper
what you’re upset about. Then take this piece of paper and burn it. As you watch
the paper and the words disappearing, let this remind you of the impermanence
of feelings--their transient nature. Take a deep breath, and let your anger go.
Release your anger by embracing the present moment. Rather than focusing on
your rear view mirror that’s constantly reminding you of the past, find the power of
focusing on the peace, joy, passion, and happiness of this moment right now.
I would also like you to write on a separate piece of paper the title “Limiting
Beliefs.” Whenever you catch yourself having a limiting thought about yourself, put
it down on this sheet of paper. Each night before
bed, check this list and see how you’re improving in
these areas. You are like the sky, and these limiting
beliefs are like clouds. Likewise, write on an
additional piece of paper “Manifestations.” On this
sheet of paper, note the good things that you’ve
brought into your life each day.
On yet another piece of paper, write the title “Signs
From the Universe.” Here, I want you to record any
signs or indications you get from the universe that

the universe is bringing you more change and goodness as you continue through
this process. The purpose of all these extra lists? You must see what you desire
before it happens, which is the opposite of we have been taught all our lives. This
activity helps undo that teaching.

Have you seen the 1987 blockbuster movie La Bamba, starring Lou Diamond
Phillips? This biographical movie outlines the life and death of 1950s rock ’n roll
sensation Ritchie Valens. This movie also shows perfectly how the law of
attraction is at work in the universe. From a young age, Ritchie told everyone that
rock ‘n roll was his life, that he was going to be a rock ‘n roll star, and that
playing his guitar was all that mattered.
He told his mom, his girlfriend, his
brother, “I’m going to be a star,” and he
meant it. He knew it. He carried his
guitar everywhere and never strayed from
his goal.
One night, 16 year-old Ritchie was performing a concert at a local American
Legion Hall. A record producer wandered in, fell in love with Ritchie’s music and
energy (i.e. his “vibration”), and later offered him a recording contract. Ritchie
instantly became the star he always said he would be. He had several hit songs,
like “Come On Let’s Go,” “Donna,” and “La Bamba.” He was inducted into the
Rock ‘N Roll Hall of Fame in 2001.
While you might say Ritchie just had a knack for understanding the ways of the

universe, the law of attraction also brought
about tragedy in his life. At the same time
Ritchie was drawing stardom to himself, he
was also drawing his untimely death. Ritchie’s
childhood best friend died when two planes
collided in the air and debris from the planes
fell on him. Ritchie constantly had realistic
nightmares about plane crashes and dying
young, which, as you know, is real to the
subconscious mind. It was as if he was
visualizing himself dying in a plane crash,
although it was happening against his will.
Ritchie resisted flying on airplanes, felt intense
trepidation towards flying, and frequently made
off-handed remarks about dying in a plane crash.
On February 3, 1959, Ritchie died in a plane crash with fellow rock stars Buddy
Holly and the Big Bopper. Ritchie was 17 years old. Ritchie “won” a seat on the
airplane via a coin toss. After winning the coin toss, Ritchie noted how weird it
was that he’d won, saying he always lost coin tosses. Why do you think that coin
toss was different? Because what you think, you become--good and bad. It was
Ritchie’s vibration, his energy, the law of attraction. Bruce Lee understood this
when he said, “As you think, so shall you become.”
The law of attraction is very real. Your
subconscious mind doesn’t know the difference
between good/bad, past/future, etc. The
universe, or God, or whatever name you choose
to call it, hears and knows all of your thoughts,
wishes, feelings, and fears. Each one of these

Many people have been taught that God (or the
universe) grants certain prayers or requests and turns
others down. This is not true. God wants what you
want. In the Bible, it says “Ye are gods.” We are
made of the same energy, the same “stuff.“ Anything
God or Jesus can do, you can do. In fact, the word
“desire” literally means “de” (of) “sire” (the father).
Everything in your life is a result of your thinking--
period. But what you may not know is that everything
you desire also desires you. For example, did you
know that we humans are made of hydrogen, oxygen,
carbon, and nitrogen--the same stuff that stars are
made of? Let this remind you of the divine in you, in
everyone, in everything. Let it also show you the
potential of the law of attraction’s power.
If you want to take control of your love life, or your
life in general, it starts with knowing what you want.
As you write your Desire Statement, include the
phrase, “I am so happy and grateful now that I am
with my highest and best relationship.” Always use the present tense. Make sure
to write your Desire Statement by hand, preferably on an unlined piece of blank
paper. This statement should be a statement of gratitude and a description of
what your life is like with your highest and best relationship.

at night. The purpose of this is to
get used to these ideas, to get
familiar with them. This will help
you reprogram your subconscious
mind. Also, your Desire Statement is
closely related to your Script, which
we will discuss in the next chapter.
A sample Desire Statement might
look like this:
“I am so happy, excited, and grateful now that I am with the man/woman of my
dreams, and we are so happy together. It feels so great, and I am so fulfilled.”
As you write this Desire Statement, and as you read it out loud to yourself twice a
day, remember the certainty that both Ritchie
Valens and Michael Jordan had. If you don’t
believe it, the universe won’t either.
Also, don’t forget that Michael Jordan didn’t even
make his high school basketball team. Ritchie
Valens, at one point, was living and working in the
fields picking fruit. No matter what your
background is, anything is possible for you. Your
dreams are possible. Is it logical or likely for
someone who couldn’t make the high school team
to become one of the best athletes of all time? It
doesn’t matter. You can have the best. You deserve
the best. The only limitation you have is in your
mind.

Take some time to consciously think about what your ideal partner is like, what
spending a day with him or her is like, and what spending a night with him or her
is like. How does it feel to wake up next to this person? What do you talk about
with this person over dinner at a restaurant? What is it like to spend the weekend
with this person? How does he or she look? Smell? Feel? Taste?
Here is a list of things to consider about your ideal mate and what life will be like
with that person:

� Does this person have any

� Marriage material or just a life

� Sex…how often? Sweet or rough?

You do not need to know all the answers to the above; they are just ideas to help
you think about the qualities your ideal mate has. If, for example, your ideal
mate’s race is not important to you, then focus on the qualities that are crucial.
As you are deciding the qualities of your highest and best relationship, don’t just
consider the person--think about the relationship as well.
� How will you two resolve disputes?
� What do the two of you enjoy doing together?
� How often will you two get together?
� What kind of a listener is this person?
� How does it feel to be around this person?
Once you have thought about these
things and decided what you must have,
what you can’t stand, and what is
unimportant to you, you’re ready to make
your Script. Like your Desire Statement,
your Script should be hand written and
read out loud twice a day with feeling. It
can be as short as a paragraph or as long as a page--whatever feels right for
you.

Your Script is like placing your order at the
restaurant of ideal mates. It is your chance
to pick and choose from all the qualities
and features on the menu and pick the one
you want the most. Make sure, of course,
that your Script mentions your gratitude. As
you create and read your Script, see it in
your head, feel it, internalize it.
In my Script, I was absolutely clear and
descriptive on everything I wanted: a loyal
and supporting wife and best friend, with
three beautiful, healthy children, to travel the
world together, getting along with each other’s family, being able to just relax and
have fun when doing nothing.
Perhaps you're thinking, “Why not just ask the universe for my ideal mate and not
worry about the details?” In Michael's Finding Your Soul Mate, he says:
“Instead of working from structure or specifics that are known in the Electric Universe, you simply center yourself within the God of your being in the Magnetic Universe and call forth your exact equal, someone who is at the same moment what you are in consciousness, except that you want someone of the opposite sex. That person will reflect everything you are. He or she will perfectly mirror all your great strengths or weaknesses and your godly virtues...As you love and appreciate those mirrored qualities in yourself, you are able to love and appreciate them more in others. And when you see a weakness through a soul mate reflection of that weakness, you are finally in a position to acknowledge it and become strong in that area instead. If you are ignorant, meaning you are unaware of any limitations or faults, there is no possibility of re-form. I completely disagree with the concept that ignorance is bliss.”
http://avosscoaching.com/ • 29
What Michael's trying to say is
that your highest and best
relationship can not be with
someone who is your “twin,”
energy-wise. Relationships are
about two people complimenting
each other, not mimicking each
other. The reason it is important
to not be complacent and actually figure out the traits of your ideal mate is also
because if you aren't specific with your intentions, the universe will just give you
“whatever.”
For example, when I personally started doing these steps, I attracted a woman
with children into my life. I had not specified in my Script that I wanted someone
who did not already have children. If something like this should happen for you,
simply modify your Script and forge ahead.
Ch. 6 Ch. 6 Ch. 6 Ch. 6 ---- Step 5: Using Affirmations Step 5: Using Affirmations Step 5: Using Affirmations Step 5: Using Affirmations
Most people are familiar with affirmations. They are used around the world in all
different arenas from business to athletics to times of disease and despair.
Another way to think of affirmations is as a way of
praying.
Affirmations are statements people make consciously
to help bring about a change they want in their lives.
An affirmation might be someone getting on the back
of a horse for the first time saying out loud, “I can do
this. I know I can do this.” Affirmations are most

effective when in the present tense
using “I am” statements.
It is easy to see how affirmations
are powerful tools when you
understand the law of attraction.
Because the law of attraction brings
back to us what we send out to the
universe, and 98% of what we send
out is done subconsciously,
affirmations are a way to take
control of the thoughts and
vibrations we put out there.
However, you must be careful with
how you phrase any affirmations you
make. For example, many
affirmation neophytes make statements like, “I need $10,000,” or “I want to fall in
love.” True to form, these affirmations will bring exactly what you ask them to.
The first one will bring about more need for money, while the second one will
bring about more desire to fall in love.
This passage from Conversations With God provides insights on the correct use
of affirmations:
“Affirmations do not work if they are merely statements of what you want to be true. Affirmations work only when they are statements of something you already know to be true. The best so-called affirmation is a statement of gratitude and appreciation. 'Thank you, God, for bringing me success in my life.' Now, that idea, thought, spoken, and acted upon, produces wonderful results…when it comes from true knowing; not from an attempt to produce results, but from an awareness that results have already been produced.”

Therefore, the correct phrasing for the two
affirmations mentioned earlier would be:
� Thank you for bringing $10,000 into my life.
� I am so happy and grateful now that I have
$10,000.
� I am so happy and grateful now that $10,000
is coming to me now.
� I am so happy and grateful now that I am
receiving all of the good that I desire.
or
� Thank you for bringing my highest and best relationship to me.
� I am so happy and grateful now with my highest and best relationship.
� I am so happy and grateful now that my highest and best relationship is
coming to me.
� I am so happy and grateful now all things lead to me finding my most
loving and compatible relationship.
When you first start doing affirmations, your mind can
sometimes play tricks on you. You’ll state the
affirmation, and your conscious mind will say, “Ha! Yea,
right. That’s not true.“ You should know, though, that if
you “lie” to yourself long enough, you will start to
believe it. If you still have difficulty saying an affirmation
that you can't bring yourself to “believe” in (“Thank you
for bringing my highest and best relationship to me”)
then say one that you can emotionalize and know to be
true (“I am so happy and grateful now that my highest

and best relationship is coming to me”).
Remember, your subconscious mind only knows
now. So, while your conscious mind may be
harder to convince, your affirmations are still
reaching your subconscious mind and doing
their job. Either way you look at it, you can
only win with affirmations!
Sometimes what holds people back from
believing their affirmations is anger. That's OK.
Lots of people have many, many good reasons
to feel angry. However, your anger can get in the way of you attracting your
highest and best relationship. When one feels upset, it blocks complete self-love,
which ultimately blocks you from attracting the highest and best of anything.
Anger will, in one way or another, get in the way of most any aspirations you
might have.
Most often, our anger is based 90% in the past (if not more) and just 10% on the
present circumstance. There are two reasons for this:
� We have not forgiven ourselves, another, or
the universe for a past incident.
� We are focusing on the past rather than
the present--probably because we haven't
truly let it go.
In A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose, Eckhart Tolle provides this
insight:
"The most important, the primordial relationship in your life is your relationship with the Now, or rather with whatever form the Now
http://avosscoaching.com/ • 33
takes, that is to say, what is or what happens. If your relationship with the Now is dysfunctional, that dysfunction will be reflected in every relationship and every situation you encounter. The ego could be defined simply in this way: a dysfunctional relationship with the present moment. It is at this moment that you can decide what kind of relationship you want to have with the present moment.”
Once you have reached a certain level of consciousness, (and if you are reading this, you almost certainly have), you are able to decide what kind of a relationship you want to have with the present moment. Do I want the present moment to be my friend or my enemy? The present moment is inseparable from life, so you are really deciding what kind of a relationship you want to have with life.”
Not only can you find relief from anger by
focusing on the present moment, but you should
consciously forgive yourself, others, and the
universe for any “wrongdoings” in the past.
Remember that forgiveness is something you give
yourself, something you do for yourself. Think of
the word “for-give”...or giving for yourself. You do
not even need to talk to “wrong-doers” from the
past. Forgiveness is healing for you, and it really
has nothing to do with anyone or anything else.
Forgiveness also brings two additional benefits. The first one is that it helps us
correct our misperceptions of ourselves. This helps us know and genuinely love
who we are, which raises our vibrations and draws higher and better things to us.
The second benefit is that forgiveness expands our ability to love others.
Now that your subconscious mind has been readied for putting affirmations out to
the universe, the fun really begins. The world is your oyster! Some great
affirmations for attracting your highest and best relationship include:

� I deserve my highest and best relationship.
� I believe in love.
� Finding my highest and best relationship is

� I am loved.
� I am well.
� I am powerful and able to create whatever I
choose.
� I value and respect myself.
� I love myself.
� I acknowledge how beautiful I am.
� I am my own power source.
You can also make up your own affirmations. If there are any issues that you
know you have, create affirmations that meet your specific needs. For example, a
friend of mine was divorced at age 25. She was also a huge fan of the show Sex
and the City. On a particular episode of Sex and the City, the characters
Charlotte and Carrie attend a relationship seminar in which affirmations were
recommended. Optimistic Charlotte took to the material and started using the
affirmation, “I believe in love.” My divorced friend recognized this immediately as
the exact affirmation she herself
needed. Whenever she found herself
thinking true relationship happiness
was a myth (which was often), she
repeated “I believe in love” 3-4 times
to herself. After a few weeks, she
noticed that she actually began to
believe that couples could live
happily ever after!
http://avosscoaching.com/ • 35
As you think about making your own affirmations, be
very careful about the language you choose.
Remember the subconscious mind reads information
and receives data differently than the conscious mind.
So, if you tell yourself, “Finding my ideal mate is a
trouble-free process,” then what your subconscious
brain picks up is, “Finding my ideal mate is trouble...”
Another example is if you used the affirmation,
“Trusting men gives me no hassle,” then what your
subconscious mind hears is, “Trusting...men...hassle...”
Always use positive words without negations (isn't, not, doesn't, etc.) The two most
powerful words to the universe and to your subconscious mind are “I am.” This
words can not be misunderstood, misconstrued, or back fire in any way (unless
misused!). The most potent affirmation you can use is any that begins with these
words, like, “I am happy with my highest and best relationship,” “I am loved,” or “I
am my own power source.” Also, instead of phrases like “trouble-free,” use “easy.”
Instead of phrases like “no hassle,” use “smooth.”

A friend of mine was a successful Track and Field athlete throughout her school
years. She broke numerous records and won many awards, including being a two-
time NCAA All-American. I once asked her how she accomplished all of this. She
said the secret to her success was visualization. As she got down into the starting

If you can't see what you want in your own head,
how can you expect it to materialize? As you
know already, all creation starts with our
subconscious thinking. Visualization is simply the
visual equivalent of an affirmation. The two rely
on the same concepts and principles to bring
about what you want in life. Visualizations, like
affirmations, help to convince our powerful
subconscious minds that what we dream of is real.
Visualizations give those dreams tactile qualities
and make them palpable.
Furthermore, visualizing encourages people to
figure out some of the details they may have
missed in the affirmations, Script, or Desire Statement they created. Visualizing is
where all of the pieces of the puzzle come together. It's your “test drive” so to
speak. For example, for myself, I visualized being at the altar at the church
looking into my bride's beautiful, loving face. I imagined how strong my love would
feel towards her, the pure joy I'd feel as I said my vows and slipped her ring on
her finger, and all of these emotions mirrored back at me on her face. Now I’m in
that wonderful relationship.
Have you ever noticed that what you
see on TV or read right before bed

The more often you visualize and
say affirmations, the quicker your
dreams will materialize. I
recommend, in addition to giving
special attention to night-time
visualizations, that you also
visualize your highest and best
relationship at least two other
times during the day. Like your
first-person, “I am” affirmations, do your visualizations the same way (in the first
person)—as if the activity is happening through your own eyes, not from outside
of you like a movie. The key is to feel the visualization in the here and now.
Emotionalize it as you think of it, giving it power and a stronger vibration.
Remember, you are rewarded with results in your life via what you practice in
private.
In addition to this type of eyes-closed visualizing, you should also create a Vision
Board. In the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics, US gymnast Raj Bhavsar used
this tactic to help him make the Olympic team. Bhavsar just barely missed
qualifying for the team in 2004, and he set out to do everything in his power to
make it happen for the 2008 Olympics. Just when Bhavsar thought he was

going to face the same fate as he had
in 2004, another gymnast was removed
from the team just a few days before
the games, and Bhavsar assumed his
position. “As soon as I heard the words,
my immediate reaction was, 'Oh my
God, it paid off.' Sometimes we never
know if all of our struggles, and all of
our blood, sweat, and tears is going to
pay off,” said Bhavsar.
One of the things Bhavsar did to
achieve this goal was to make a Vision
Board on the wall over his bed.
NBCOlympics.Com reported that,
“Bhavsar spent two years in what he
called personal turmoil, reading every
self-help book and 'turning over every
stone' to find a way to put his
disappointment in perspective. He says
that Jack Canfield's The Success
Principles is the book he lives by...” And
what is Chapter 11 of Jack Canfield's
book called? “See What You Want, Get
What You See.” That's what you'll do too—make a Vision Board so you can see
what you want then get it!
Raj Bhavsar's Vision Board that hung over his bed where he could see it and be
reminded of it constantly read like this:

As you probably know, Raj Bhavsar not only made the
Olympic team, but he won an Olympic medal—and
accomplished his highest vision for himself. He said,
“Rather than feeling like a victim, I became the driver
of the chariot.”

use a Vision Board, what to put on it, how to word

concentrate on what you want everyday. Your Vision
Board should contain pictures of what you visualize
about and written copies of affirmations you use, as
well as any other relevant visual material. If you

This is the part of the process of attracting your highest and best relationship
that involves having faith. And, in this case, faith has two parts: living the life you
want and letting the universe take care of the rest. Or you can think of it like this:
fake it 'til you make it and knowing that a watched pot never boils. Let me
explain.
People create on three levels: thought, word, and
deed. Thought is the lowest level of creation,
while deed (or action) is the highest level. For
example, let's say I want to become more
generous. I would begin by thinking of myself as
a more giving and generous person. I would then
tell someone (myself or another) that I'm
generous. And, then for the real magic, I would
do something that demonstrated generosity like
giving money to a homeless person or

volunteering.
So, for example, if I want to become more lovable (i.e. attracting my highest and
best relationship), I might choose to do activities, say things, and think things
demonstrating how loving I am...maybe this means spoiling myself with a
massage, babysitting my niece and
feeling my love in caring for her, buying
a dog and taking care of it, or not
saying self-denigrating comments any
more.
Another way to think about it is by
asking yourself what would you be like
or act like if you were in your highest
and best relationship. Would you be
smiling right now? Would you be
looking forward to what the day holds?
Would you have plans on Friday night?
Would you be sitting at home waiting
for the phone to ring? Would you be
lounging around in bed until noon?
Remember, you attract like energy. So,
unless you act, think, and talk the way
you would in your ideal relationship, you
simply won't draw it to you.
If you find it too awkward to live the life
you want, you have another option: fake
it ‘til you make it. As was mentioned in
the Affirmations chapter, if you “lie” to
http://avosscoaching.com/ • 42
yourself long enough, you will start to believe it. The same thing is true with
actions. If you don't have anything to do on Friday night, go out alone to a movie,
to a park, to the mall, anything. If you can't look forward to what the day holds,
tell yourself and others how much you're looking forward to the weekend or that
day off. Schedule a manicure or drop by the batting cages...schedule something
you will look forward to. If you don't feel like smiling, take a deep breath, tell
yourself, “I am happy,” and smile anyway...for no reason, right now even.
A few other tips for acting out or living your
highest and best are to follow your passion,
your enthusiasm. Do things you enjoy—like
writing, building something, reading, playing an
instrument, cooking, exercising, or doing a
certain hobby. Enthusiasm is a special feeling
that will start showing up everyday once you
retrain your mind. So, when we surround
ourselves with passionate and enthusiastic
energy, it instantly raises our vibration from
“whatever” to “happy.” This is the space you
want to be in to attract that ideal mate. Fall in love with your dream everyday, as
if it were your first taste of love.
Another tip is to focus on your goal everyday. If you can be passionate or
enthusiastic about nothing else, at least be passionate about your dream.
Focusing on your vision of your ideal relationship should be uplifting and
exhilarating. If it feels like a chore, then your approach is off somewhere. Retrace
your steps...do you have unresolved anger? Do you have worthiness issues?
Thinking of the joy your highest and best relationship holds should always be
enough to put a hopeful, knowing smile on your face and raise your vibration.

Just like surrounding yourself with passion and
enthusiasm, you also need to listen to your gut
feelings, your inclinations. Gut feelings, like passion
and enthusiasm, are the universe's way of pointing
you in the right direction, which is truly divine. So, if
your gut feeling or inclination is to join Match.Com or
eHarmony, then do it. If your gut tells you to go talk
to that girl or to lock eyes with that guy, then go for
it. As your vibration raises and the universe attempts
to bring forth what you've called for, these gut
feelings and inclinations will be stronger if you listen
to them. The universe will lead you where you want to be, if you let it. Take
action when action is necessary.
It is important to understand the difference between being a “dreamer” and an
“achiever.” A dreamer is someone who allows themselves to be carried away by a
dream, to escape into their visions. An achiever focuses on their dreams just as
much as a dreamer does, but an achiever takes action to accomplish their
dreams. An achiever knows that their dreams are reachable and possible.
To attract your highest and best
relationship, you must be an achiever.
An achiever doesn't give up. An achiever
never quits. An achiever stays driven and
focused, determined and faithful,
dedicated and optimistic.
The second part of this chapter (“Take
Action and Let Go”) was described
above as letting the universe take care

of the details and knowing that a watched pot never boils. Letting go is where all
the magic happens. When you let go, you are OK getting what you want, and you
are OK not getting it. You know you don't need any material thing in life to
complete you. Letting go doesn't mean you do nothing, but instead you act on
your impulses and engage opportunities. By doing so, you will be brought what
you want.
In other words, letting go is like placing your
order at a restaurant and sitting patiently at your
table, enjoying life and the ambiance as you wait,
knowing that the exact meal you chose—the
perfect meal for you—is on its way to you. There
is no need to peek in the kitchen, ask the waiter,
or get up and leave after you've waited for 10
minutes. You simply let go (i.e. relax, knowing
everything is in perfect order).
While your order at a restaurant is expected to take 5-15 minutes depending on
the situation. The ideal relationship order that you've placed with the universe will
probably take a minimum of 60-90 days to materialize: however, it can also
happen instantaneously. There is an
incubation period for everything in the
universe to manifest. If you were pregnant
and your baby hadn’t materialized after a
few weeks, you wouldn’t be stomping around
wondering where your baby was. “Checking
up” on your order with the universe only
pushes it further away from you because it’s
saying you’re not happy with now. Have true
faith that the universe always knows the
http://avosscoaching.com/ • 45
right time. Your job during the gestation
period is simply to follow the steps set forth
in this ebook. Doing so will bring you
dramatic results almost instantaneously. You
will continue to notice big changes during
the gestation period.
If you decide to take an additional break to
heal from a past relationship as I did (or for
some other reason), the universe will still be
responding to affirmations, visualizations,
and positive thinking, but it may be less
dramatic than it was during the original
gestation period. Don't lose hope or think
that the process has stopped working—don't worry, nothing is wrong. You've
simply adjusted to the changes and internalized them, or climatized to them, if
you will.
On one final note, I provide to you this pearl. A truly loving relationship requires
maturity and generosity. These qualities, both on the giving and receiving end, will
make us better—together or alone. We will continue to expand our ability to love
by practicing generosity and by forgiving those who hurt us. You simply can't be
jaded and expect to find love...your heart must be open.
I leave you with this passage from Finding Your Soul Mate:
“What you give of yourself or of your substance you never lose! While what you hold tightly to yourself, time will inevitably take sorrowfully away from you. In that light then, a gift of a much needed, or simply appreciated smile, a nod of greeting, a pat on the back, a word of encouragement, or physical 'things' like food, shelter, or a glorious bouquet of flowers when given with unconditional love, expecting nothing in return, is a truly loving gift,
http://avosscoaching.com/ • 46
because your living essence is in it! It blesses, uplifts and balances all concerned. “Not only is it wonderfully divine to 'gift' this truly pure and unconditional love to others, but you must also learn to 'gift it' freely to yourself. The same immutable law applies here. You always get what you give! When you gift yourself with love it means that you now have overflow love to re-give to others. Self-love comes from self-respect. Give honor, respect and acts of high character to others and you immediately begin to find and love these divine qualities in yourself. Once these qualities are your major style of expression, you will automatically gift others with these grand essences simply through your brightly lighted presence with them.”
