Law of Attraction: The Science of Attracting More of What You Want and Less of What You Don't

by Michael J. Losier

Overview

The Secret opened the world to the power of positive thinking. Now, Law of Attraction will guide you through every step toward getting the life you've always desired -- and deserved.
Have you noticed that sometimes what you need just falls into place? Perhaps you've met the perfect client or life partner merely by being at the right place at the right time. On the other hand, there are some people who find themselves in one terrible relationship after another or who seem unable to shake off their bad luck.

These experiences are evidence of a very powerful force. It's called the Law of Attraction, and right now it's attracting people, jobs, situations, and relationships to you. The Law of Attraction can be defined as: I attract to my life whatever I give my attention, energy, and focus to, whether positive or negative.

Now, with this book, readers can learn how to use the Law of Attraction deliberately and integrate it into their daily life. By doing this, they will attract all they need to do, know, and have so they can get more of what they want and less of what they don't want. With its easy-to-follow 3-step formula (Identify Your Desire, Give Your Desire Attention, and Allowing), complete with tips, tools, exercises, and scripts, Law of Attraction shows readers how to:

• Attract their ideal mate and ideal relationships
• Increase wealth and abundance
• Improve their business with more customers, clients, and referrals
• Discover their ideal job, true calling, or career
• and more!

Chapter One

Deliberate Attraction

In the next section you are going to discover how to use the Law of Attraction more deliberately. To do this, you'll learn an easy 3-step formula. In addition to learning the steps and following along with two case studies, you can participate by filling in the blank worksheets I have provided. More worksheets are available at www.LawofAttractionBook.com/worksheets.html

If you are not sure what specific area of your life you'd like to apply Deliberate Attraction to, simply choose the area that you feel the least satisfied with. It could be your relationship(s), career, health, business or your financial situation.

I recommend you finish reading the remainder of this book and then go back and do the exercises, applying them to the specific area you've chosen.

The 3-Step Formula for Deliberate Attraction

Step 1: Identify Your Desire

Sounds easy, right? Most people are not very good at knowing what they do want, however, they are very good at identifying what they don't want. In this step you'll learn why knowing what you don't like is helpful.

Step 2: Give Your Desire Attention

The Law of Attraction will give you more of what you give your attention, energy and focus to. This step will teach you how to do just that, simply by learning how to choose your words.

Step 3: Allow It Wondering why you're not manifesting your desires? The speed at which your desires come to you depends on how much you're Allowing. This is the most important step.

3 STEPS

Identify Your Desire

Give Your Desire Attention

Allow It

Step 1 - Identify Your Desire

The first step in making the Law of Attraction work for you is to be clear about what you want. The challenge, however, is that most people are not good at knowing what they DO want but they are good at identifying what they DON'T want. Knowing what you don't want is actually good news. As you'll discover in this section, knowing what you don't want will become a helpful tool for you.

What is Contrast?

Contrast, as it applies to the Law of Attraction, is anything you don't like, doesn't feel good, or causes you to be in a negative mood. The moment you identify something in your life that feels like contrast and you spend time complaining about it, talking about it, or declaring that you don't want it, you are offering a negative vibration. The Law of Attraction then responds to your negative vibration by giving you more of the same.

Is Contrast Helpful?

Yes. By observing contrast and identifying it as something you don't want, you become clearer about what you do want. Simply ask yourself "So, what do I want?" In other words, you can use the contrast to gain clarity about what you do want by answering that question.

Take your first boyfriend or girlfriend, for example. Chances are you're no longer with that person and from that relationship you have a list of things that you didn't like. This is your list of contrast. It is this list that will help you become clear about what you do want in a partner.

Observing contrast is essential because it helps you to become clearer about what you do want.

Why Is It Important to Identify Contrast?

You are already experiencing clarity whenever you observe contrast in your life.

Imagine you are riding in your car with your best friend who insists on fiddling with the radio dial. Your friend chooses a heavy metal station that you hate. You begin to feel stressed.

After five seconds of the music you say to yourself "This is my car and I'm not listening to this for one second longer." You reach over and change the dial to your favorite station, which plays adult contemporary music. Instantly, you feel happier and more relaxed.

Notice how you become clear about what you like by paying attention to what you don't like? In other words, your contrast has provided you with clarity.

To help you observe contrast briefly, say, "So, what do I want?"

How Long Is Briefly?

The key to getting what you want without getting stuck focusing on what you don't want is to briefly observe contrast.

Only you can decide how long briefly is. For some, experiencing contrast in a relationship may last for years; for others, contrast is observed for a short time. You might decide to end a relationship on the first date.

Notice that when you experience contrast around smells, sounds, or tastes, your tolerance is minimal. Think about these statements:

How long would you smell something that doesn't smell good?

How long would you listen to music that doesn't sound good?

How long would you eat something that doesn't taste good?

In these cases, you are observing contrast briefly and changing it to clarity, FAST.

There are, however, a few areas of your life where you may observe contrast far too long:

Relationships

Career

Health

Money

Other

Generally, the least amount of time you spend putting your attention, energy and focus toward contrast, the better. The Clarity Through Contrast process, which you'll learn from this book, will help you with this.

Identify what makes you feel good and do more of it.

Your Goal is to Limit Contrast in All Areas of Your Life

It's OK to feel good in all areas of your life. Does this sound selfish? It's OK to be selfish when you understand that being selfish is simply an act of self-care.

Selfish = Self-Care

Are you selfish about what you eat?

Are you selfish about what you smell?

Are you selfish about what you wear?

Are you selfish about what you listen to?

I'm encouraging you to be selfish in all areas of your life, especially in your:

Career

Finances

Health

Relationship

In these four areas people tend to have lots of negative emotions and observe them for a long time, in many cases, years.

The Clarity Through Contrast Process

The Clarity Through Contrast process will assist you in becoming clearer about your desires.

Here are some prominent areas in your life where clarity is beneficial:

Career

Money

Life partner relationships

Friendships

Work relationships

Business clients

Business referrals

Education

Health

Other

Next we'll examine two case studies that illustrate how the Clarity Through Contrast Process helped generate clarity.

Case Studies

After teaching the Law of Attraction to thousands of students, I've collected wonderful stories about people whose lives have been changed working with this process. There's something about seeing someone else's story in print that really makes this tool come alive, so I've included two case studies that represent two common areas where people use the Law of Attraction to get more of what they want.

Janice's story will show you how the 3 steps, Identifying Your Desire, Giving it Attention, and Allowing can work in attracting an ideal relationship. Greg's story focuses on another difficult issue for many people - money.

Janice - Relationships

Janice, 34, is tired and frustrated because she continually has the wrong kind of guy showing interest in her. She complains that she attracts men who are unavailable, insensitive, and who seldom make her a priority.

Janice decided to use the Law of Attraction to attract her ideal relationship.

She began the process of Deliberate Attraction with Step One, Identify Your Desire, using the Clarity Through Contrast Worksheet. Take a look at Janice's worksheet on the next page.

In Janice's case, she was able to build a large list of contrast by recalling a number of past relationships, and what she didn't like (contrast) about those relationships.

[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]

Janice made her contrast list on Side A. She recalled three past relationships during this exercise and took a couple of days to build her list.

[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]

Janice read each item on her list and asked herself "So, what do I want?" After she wrote the answer on Side B, she struck a line through the matching contrast on Side A.

Note: In our example we have listed 9 items on Janice's list. This exercise is most effective when you add as many items as possible to your contrast list (50-100 items). The more contrast you identify, the more clarity you'll generate.

What People are Saying About This

Tony Serra

From the author of The Purpose of Your Life and When Life Changes, Or You Wish It Would:
I recently read your book, Law of Attraction, and I created some desire statements for myself based on your formulas. One of them was for an ideal job. I started this in July and I would like to report that I start my new job this Monday. To make a long story short, I gained more than I ever expected in my job search and I'm very excited and happy about this especially since I was unemployed for exactly one year. So I'm writing to express my wholehearted thanks to you. I don't feel that I can thank you enough. I really appreciate the work you are doing; I've been spreading the word to everyone I know. Thanks again, Michael!

Maria Lesetz

From a certified life coach for doctors and motivational speaker:
I have been a student of Law of Attraction for quite some time now; however, it is only through Michael Losier's teachings that I have finally "get it," applied it and have seen AMAZING results in such a short period of time! I have been using the contrast to clarity exercise, along with celebrating all the abundance that comes my way each and every day. Because of how positive I feel more often, I have attracted 2 radio show interviews, won the lottery, got more clients and customers into my business and feel SOOOO excited about all that is still "on its way"! Michael's style of teaching is light-hearted, fun, energetic and simple, yet very POWERFUL! Thank you, Michael!

Tammy Czarzasty

From a senior sales director, Mary Kay Cosmetics:
From the moment I heard Michael on the first telelcass I knew that I was hearing something that would be life-changing for me. Through his continued teachings I am excelling and happier than ever. I've incorporated Michael's teachings in my training and the consultants in my Mary Kay business have had measurable success. What a thrill to know we have more control over our future than we might have originally thought through the applied teachings of Law of Attraction. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to learn so much from Michael through his teleclasses, his book Law of Attraction and his audio library. Thanks so much Michael!

Editorial Reviews

This “neuro-linguistic programming expert” is only moderately cocky about the control he says we can have when we focus on what we want instead of what we don’t. He says too many people get stuck in negative thinking, punish themselves with low expectations, and surround themselves with losers instead of achievers. Our predominant “vibe,” positive or negative, is how the universe will respond to us. The words we choose give energy to this vibration, one way or the other. Hugh Gallagher’s alluring interpretation gives this material weight. His restrained performance adds vocal emphasis exactly where it’s needed and conveys the core meaning with the perfect amount of gravitas. Printable worksheets allow listeners to create more effective word statements for their problems. T.W. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine
