Transcript

If you've been on this journey of manifesting your dreams and it seems,

No matter how much you visualise,

No matter how many affirmations you recite,

You're just not getting the results you hoped for,

Then I want you to pause for a moment.

Just breathe.

Because you may be doing all the right things on the surface,

But there are often deeper,

Hidden blocks keeping you from fully stepping into the power of manifestation.

And I don't mean the obvious blocks like self-doubt or fear of failure.

What we're talking about here are subtle,

Sneaky things that hide beneath the surface,

Quietly sabotaging your best efforts.

Think of it like this,

You're in a car,

The tank is full,

GPS is set,

But the handbrake is on,

And you're not even aware of it.

That's what these hidden blocks are like,

Quietly holding you back,

Preventing the full flow of your manifesting power.

We're going to uncover three of these hidden blocks.

But more importantly,

We're going to look at how you can release them,

So you can finally hit your stride and manifest with ease,

Joy and clarity.

First,

Let's talk about one of the most insidious blocks,

Something that often flies under the radar,

The invisible block of subconscious deservingness.

Now this one is tricky,

Because on the surface,

You might think you totally believe you deserve everything you're trying to manifest,

Whether it's financial freedom,

Love or even peace of mind.

But the truth is,

We're dealing with two levels of deservingness here.

There's the conscious level,

Where you're telling yourself you deserve success.

And then there's the much deeper subconscious level,

Which might be sending the exact opposite signal.

Here's what happens.

At some point in your life,

Maybe in childhood,

You started to internalise messages that you weren't enough.

These impressions could have come from parents,

School,

Society,

Whatever the source.

They got lodged deep within your subconscious.

And those messages started forming into beliefs like I'm not worthy,

Or I don't deserve abundance.

What happens then is that even though your conscious mind is focused on manifesting,

Your subconscious mind is playing a completely different game,

Pulling you in a direction that says,

Actually,

I don't think I deserve it.

The mind architect talks a lot about this particular block.

Most of us are operating under mental frameworks that were shaped a long time ago,

And they quietly limit our sense of self-worth.

He worked with an Olympic silver medalist,

Who despite having all the physical talent in the world,

Couldn't step into becoming a gold medalist,

Because deep down,

She didn't believe she was truly deserving of being the best.

It wasn't her skill that was lacking,

She had that in abundance.

It was her subconscious whispering,

Who are you to be number one?

So how do you recognise this block within yourself?

Well,

Have you ever been on the brink of success,

And suddenly everything seems to go sideways?

Maybe you were about to make the big sale,

Or finally meet the right partner,

And out of nowhere things just unravel.

That's often a sign that deep down,

There's part of you that doesn't feel worthy of receiving what you're asking for.

At that moment when you're closest to achieving your goal,

The subconscious kicks in and says,

Wait,

Do we really deserve this?

And then boom,

A form of self-sabotage occurs.

But here's the good news,

You don't have to stay stuck in this pattern.

You can literally rewire your subconscious mind.

Your subconscious sends signals to your body and emotions based on the patterns it knows,

And if it's used to telling you that you're less than,

We need to break that pattern.

One powerful way to do this is through visualisation combined with elevated emotions.

So here's what I'd suggest,

Close your eyes and imagine a scenario where you deeply,

And I mean deeply,

Believe that you are worthy of everything you desire.

Visualise yourself in that place.

You've achieved your goals,

You feel calm,

Abundant,

Free.

Now here's the key,

Don't just see it,

Feel it.

The emotion is what cements the belief.

When you feel those emotions,

Joy,

Gratitude,

Empowerment,

It starts to feel like you're signalling your subconscious that your current reality is one where you absolutely do deserve what you want.

That's how you begin to rewire your subconscious to support,

Not sabotage,

Your manifestations.

Now let's move to the second hidden block,

And this one's big.

Unconscious resistance to change.

This might sound a little strange because on the surface,

Change is what we're all asking for,

Right?

We want more abundance,

Better relationships,

Greater health.

But if we're really honest here,

Change isn't always comfortable.

You might consciously crave it,

But your unconscious mind might be resistant to it,

Simply because it's unknown territory.

Why is that?

Our survival brains are hardwired to want the familiar,

Even when the familiar isn't serving us,

And that's the thing.

Familiarity feels safe.

Even if something's not perfect right now,

Your unconscious mind knows how to navigate that space.

It says,

Hey,

We know this level of discomfort.

We've been here before,

And we lived through it,

So let's just stay here.

You can be manifesting all these amazing things in your conscious mind,

But deep down your unconscious mind is hitting the brakes,

Because stepping into the unknown,

Even if it's a better unknown,

Feels risky and unsafe.

A whopping 95% of our thoughts are unconscious and habitual,

Meaning most of what we're doing day-to-day is based on old patterns.

When you start manifesting,

It activates the tension between the old,

Familiar pattern and the new reality you're trying to create.

And that's when the resistance kicks in.

You might find yourself procrastinating or getting distracted and you have no idea why.

It's the unconscious mind stepping in to preserve the status quo,

Even if the status quo is not where you want to be.

Here's an example.

Let's say you're working on manifesting financial abundance,

And you've been doing great,

Following all the steps,

Feeling like things are finally starting to happen.

But then,

Out of the blue,

You start to get distracted.

You avoid checking your emails,

Or you make decisions that seem counterproductive to the abundance you're after.

That's where unconscious resistance sneaks in.

The unconscious mind feels safer in the familiar old,

Even if that means staying stuck in financial struggle.

You may not realise it,

But part of you might think,

If I get too financially successful,

What if I lose it all?

What if I can't handle it?

That fear of change holds you in place.

So how do we release this block?

By doing an emotional rehearsal.

In simple terms,

It's about feeling empowered by the change you're calling in.

Instead of just visualising the goal,

You practice breaking through the emotional patterns that previously held you back.

For example,

If your old pattern is procrastination,

Instead of visualising yourself procrastinating,

Rehearse emotionally stepping through that resistance.

See and feel yourself taking immediate action with confidence and ease.

The more you practice this,

The more your brain rewires itself to recognise change,

Not as something to fear,

But something you're fully equipped to handle.

And along those same lines we can pull wisdom from burning desire,

That deep intense focus which allows you to overcome any roadblocks or resistance.

When your desire is so clear,

So emotionally charged,

It overrides the tendency to fall into resistance.

Think of it like this.

Instead of pushing against resistance,

You're pulling yourself with irresistible force toward your destination because your desire has more energy than your fear.

Next time you feel that unconscious resistance creeping in,

Remind yourself of your burning desire.

Let that focus pull you forward.

And also,

Consider making small changes in your daily life to signal to your brain that change is normal and even enjoyable.

Bring simple shifts into your routine.

Maybe take a different route to work or try something new with your morning routine.

These little adjustments show the unconscious mind that change isn't something threatening,

But something exciting,

Something you can embrace with ease.

Okay,

Before we move on to the third hidden block,

Take a moment now and reflect.

Have you been feeling that invisible pull to stay in the familiar,

To stay in what's known?

If yes,

This is a part of your process worth leaning into.

Unconscious resistance is tricky,

But it's by recognising it that you loosen its grip on your life.

Remember,

These hidden blocks don't need to define what happens next in your life.

We're here to gently uncover them,

To bring them into the light,

And to dissolve them,

One step at a time.

Now that we've explored the first two hidden blocks,

Subconscious deservingness and unconscious resistance to change,

Let's dive into the third,

Which could be the most lingering of all.

This one often sits quietly in the background,

But it can have a massive impact on your manifesting power,

And that is unresolved emotional debt.

What does that mean?

Well,

Think of it like this.

Imagine trying to move forward,

Carrying an invisible backpack full of bricks.

Each of those bricks represents old,

Unresolved emotions – anger,

Resentment,

Guilt,

Or even sadness – that you might not even be fully aware of,

But that's still weighing you down.

While these emotions may have been pushed to the back of your mind,

They continue to affect the energy you're carrying into your current life,

Especially in the realm of manifestation.

You see,

When you try to manifest something,

You're asking the universe to align with a new,

Higher vibration – a frequency that matches the reality you desire.

But if you're holding onto these unresolved emotions,

They act like little anchors,

Pulling your vibration down.

You can visualise and affirm all day long,

But if the emotional energy tied to past hurt or resentment is still there,

It's like there's a kink in the hose,

Blocking the flow.

Many of us are living in the emotional signatures of the past.

We want to create something new,

But we're energetically connected to the emotions we haven't resolved from old experiences.

For example,

Let's say you're manifesting a loving relationship,

But you're still carrying resentment or heartbreak from a past one.

Even if you're not actively thinking about it,

That unresolved emotional energy is in the background,

Quietly interfering with the energy you're trying to send out for the new relationship.

And the thing is,

Unresolved emotional debt can be really sneaky.

John Sarno,

Who studied mind-body healing,

Talks about how unresolved emotions can manifest as physical symptoms in the body,

Sometimes in such subtle ways that it's easy to overlook.

If old emotional wounds can show up as physical blockages,

Think about how they could also be manifestational blockages.

The weight of unprocessed emotion is powerful.

It clouds your vibrational energy,

Creating a disconnect from the things you're actively trying to call into your life.

If emotions from ten years ago are still causing internal friction,

They will compete with the energy you're directing toward the future.

So how would you even recognise this type of block if it's so deeply hidden?

Start by paying attention to your triggers.

You know,

Those little emotional flare-ups that don't seem to make sense in the moment.

Maybe a frustration here,

A passive-aggressive comment there.

If you notice that small,

Unrelated events bring out anger,

Jealousy or sadness,

There's probably an underlying emotion from the past still lurking there.

Emotions don't just disappear.

They carry energetic signatures,

And they need to be processed for your energy to flow freely through the present and into the future.

Let me give you an example to help make this clear.

Imagine a person who is trying to manifest financial success,

But whenever money comes up in conversation,

They feel a pit in their stomach.

Maybe they grew up in a home where money was a source of tension,

Where it was often scarce.

Without realising it,

They're still carrying unresolved emotional debt around the concept of money,

Holding onto the fear that money equals stress.

That emotion is still vibrating inside them,

Even if consciously they're thinking,

I want to be wealthy.

The emotional connection to money is coloured by old fear,

And that emotional baggage needs to be released so they can manifest from a place of neutrality or even joy.

So what can you do about this?

The first step is awareness.

Take some time to sit in quiet reflection or even journaling and simply ask yourself,

What old emotions am I still carrying with me?

Ask yourself this daily if needed,

Because sometimes these lingering emotions can be so deeply buried,

It takes a little time to recognise them.

Once you have that awareness,

It's time for emotional release.

Real freedom comes from recognising that no one is at fault,

Not even yourself.

Carrying emotional debts,

For anger,

Guilt,

Regret,

Limits your ability to expand.

Forgiveness,

Not just of others,

But of yourself,

Allows you to clear that emotional backpack of all those heavy bricks.

When you forgive,

You signal to the universe that you are ready to move forward,

Unencumbered by the emotional residue of the past.

Another technique that's wonderful for emotional release is what's called heart coherence meditation.

What you do in this meditation is bring yourself into a state of gratitude,

Love or compassion and focus on elevating those feelings in your heart space.

It sounds simple,

But the act of raising your emotional state to one of high vibration emotions,

Gratitude,

Love,

Literally lifts you out of the low frequency emotions like resentment,

Guilt or sadness.

It helps you release those emotional debts and align with higher vibrations that are much more conducive to manifesting the life you want.

Some people also find great success in techniques like EFT or tapping.

Going through a round of tapping on certain energy meridian points while focusing on a specific limiting emotion can help clear out that stagnant energy.

The physical aspect of tapping helps dislodge trapped emotional patterns,

Making it easier to align with the emotional energy that supports your manifestations.

Remember,

It's not about erasing the past,

It's about transmuting that emotional energy into something that actually serves you.

Once we clear out this emotional debris,

We open up space for new,

Aligned manifestations to flow easily,

Like removing the brakes on a car.

You won't believe how much more effortlessly you can move when you're no longer carrying all that emotional weight.

Okay,

Now that we've touched on all three hidden blocks,

Subconscious deservingness,

Unconscious resistance to change and unresolved emotional debt,

It's time to pull this all together.

Each of these blocks can cause a break in the manifestation process,

But by methodically releasing them,

You clear the way for the universe to bring you what you've been asking for.

Freedom is the absence of that which limits your expansion,

And this is really the essence of what we're talking about here.

Removing these blocks isn't just about manifesting more money,

Love or success,

Though that's part of it.

It's about stepping into your full potential,

Free from limiting subconscious stories,

Free from the need to cling to the familiar,

And free from the weight of emotional debts.

It's about becoming the strongest,

Most aligned version of yourself.

So now that you have the tools to recognise these hidden blocks,

Take some time to reflect.

Where do you see these blocks showing up in your life?

Are you holding onto an unconscious belief about your worthiness?

Do you notice an inner resistance to taking that next scary step toward your new life?

Or maybe some lingering old emotions have been replaying the same patterns in your relationships,

Finances or health?

Awareness is the first step to change,

And now you know how to recognise these blocks you can start creating the space to release them.

Remember,

Manifestation is not just about wanting something,

It's about becoming the person who is energetically aligned with that something.

When you free yourself from these hidden manifestations blocks,

You will no longer feel like you're pushing uphill against invisible forces.

Instead,

You allow the flow,

The momentum,

And suddenly things that felt far away start becoming your new reality.

I want to thank you for taking this journey with me today.

The fact that you're here,

Reflecting on and addressing these hidden blocks in your life,

Shows just how committed you are to creating real,

Lasting change.

Stay the course,

Because your dreams are within reach.

You've already made the first step by being here,

And trust me,

The universe is ready to meet you the rest of the way.

Let's unlock all the possibilities you've been dreaming of.

Keep going,

You truly deserve it.
