How To Get Unblocked & Manifest Your Desires In 3 Steps

by: Jenn

woman standing in grass with text How To Get Unblocked & Manifest Your Desires In 3 Steps

I talk a lot about blocks when it comes to successful manifestation. However, I know this is a controversial topic!

Some manifestation teachers refuse to even talk about blocks, reasoning that the more you look for them the more you will find them.

Which to a certain extent is true! So let’s warn you now: if you get stuck on unblocking yourself and never give yourself permission to move forward, the unblocking work can become a block in itself.

However, I strongly believe that most of the population needs this important unblocking work.

We all have areas of our life where manifesting stuff is as easy as snapping your fingers. Maybe for you, that’s always manifesting new friends or new job opportunities or new romantic prospects.

But usually, there’s also one area in which you always feel stuck.

The places where it feels like the world is working against us or like we just can’t make progress no matter what we do reveal the exact location of our manifestation blocks.

That’s because what’s really happening is that there’s a huge disconnect between what your conscious mind wants and what your subconscious mind wants.

Frustratingly, you don’t actually notice this disconnect yourself! Instead, you’ll feel like you just keep running into the same problems over and over again no matter what you do. (For example, constantly feeling overlooked at work, even after you change your job, or continually dating what turns out to be Mr. Oh So Wrong).

This is especially maddening because you’re often taking action to “fix” things. For example, you know you’re feeling overlooked at work so you go and find a different job, only to end up feeling the exact same way in the new job. Once you’ve experienced this disappointment a few times, you might even be tempted to throw in the manifesting towel.

In reality, it’s just you playing out exactly what your subconscious wants. Your subconscious mind has an entirely different agenda than your conscious mind and it will get its way, without you even realizing what’s happening.

Using exterior action or force can only get you so far! Sometimes it’s enough to push you past your block but oftentimes it isn’t. That’s because you haven’t fixed the real cause of the problem.

(This is also exactly why relying on willpower and white-knuckling your way to your desires just doesn’t work!)

Your subconscious mind will simply always win this internal tug-of-war unless you do the work to unblock and heal yourself.

Those subconscious beliefs and desires are exactly what a manifestation block really is. But just to get the point home, here are a few more examples of what a specific manifestation block might look like for you:

  • Perhaps you have limiting beliefs about money. (“Rich people are evil” or “No matter how hard I work there’s never enough”
  • Or maybe you have some secret fears about what you’re trying to manifest. (“If I get a boyfriend, what will my single girlfriends think about me?”)
  • Or you might just have a low sense of self-worth about what you’re trying to call in (“People like me are never successful” or “Who would listen to me because I’m only 22?”

Sure, those things might sound illogical or silly to your conscious mind. But to your subconscious mind, they’re just as real as the air you breathe.

If you’re tired of feeling stuck and frustrated or like the world is moving against you, you’re definitely not alone. But today we can begin the process of unblocking your subconscious mind so that you can begin to manifest with ease:


How To Get Unblocked & Manifest Your Desires In 3 Steps


Unblocked Manifestation Step #1:

Noticing


Simply noticing our own blocks or stories is honestly the hardest part! That’s because we’ve lived a lifetime of truly believing these things. We accept them as straight-up facts so we never question where they originally came from or whether they’re currently serving us.

Working with a manifestation coach (like me!) can help to pinpoint exactly what your blocks are! But if you’re not able to do that at this moment, here’s a quick exercise to help:

  • Think about what you want to call in/achieve
  • Notice every single thought that pops up that tells you “no” in any way. This is tricky because it often feels like we’re just being “realistic” or “logical”. However, it’s crucial to not immediately buy into those ideas.

That little voice of reason (sometimes even masked as the internalized voice of your parents’/soccer coach/whatever) is not working in your best interests! The sooner you realize that, the better.


Unblocked Manifestation Step #2:

Forgive Yourself


The quickest way to stop the healing process is to downplay your thoughts or continue to pretend that you’re not having them! So you need to forgive yourself as you move through this practice.

Simply “hearing” or noticing the thought in your mind is all the proof you need to understand that this thought or belief exists within you. Your ego mind will probably kick up a fuss about this: “I don’t actually believe I’m not worthy of love” or it’ll tell you that that is just a fleeting thought and doesn’t really count.

Your blocks might feel ugly, illogical or shameful. But ignoring them will not make them go away!

Don’t listen when your ego-mind talks you out of needing to fix anything! Yes, it can be shocking or embarrassing to realize what our subconscious mind is up to. But if you don’t fully process this part, you’re never going to fully heal either. That means, the same old patterns will continue to play out in your world and you will continue to feel stuck.

So if you’ve come this far, don’t stop now! Be brave and acknowledge the skeletons in your mental closet. And most importantly keep loving yourself when you find them.

You didn’t choose those beliefs and stories consciously. But now is your moment to do so!


Unblocked Manifestation Step #3:

Reprogramming


Noticing your unhelpful patterns & beliefs is an important first step. And sometimes that big Aha! Moment is all you need to get unstuck.

But most of us need a little extra work to become truly unblocked. After all, those limiting beliefs and stories have played out in your mind over and over again for many years. It takes some conscious effort to replace the old story with the new story of your choosing.

There are lots of ways to work with your subconscious mind to heal and reprogram.

One of my favorite daily tools is Manifestation Journaling: it’s the exact process I use each day to begin writing my Future Self into reality.

Another favorite tool is NLP hypnosis & coaching. This is the work I do with my private high-level clients to rewire and reprogram their mind to attract what they want almost effortlessly.

There are lots of other ways too of course (hypnosis meditation, subliminals, EFT tapping etc.)

The most important thing is to pick a modality and stick with it! Remember, that reprogramming won’t just happen without your conscious attention. But your mind is 100% in your control–and your future happiness and success can be too!

Again, don’t just come this far to come this far! Commit to your desires and dreams and, no matter what you decide on, commit to doing the work.




Remember: this is your life and you get to live it the exact way you want to. But that will always involve you taking your subconscious mind into account as well.

I’m so excited to hear what you do with this process so go try it out and be sure to report back!

Complete Guide To Subconscious Manifestation

by: Jenn

woman with hand over state with text Your Guide To Subconscious Manifestation Success

Hey there Conscious Creator! Does any of this sound familiar?

  • Have you been struggling to manifest the same thing, month after month, or year after year?
  • Do you feel like other people can manifest super easily while you can’t seem to get it to work at all?
  • Are you settling for less than what you really want because you don’t think you can make anything more happen?
  • Are you living a life that’s not bad but doesn’t quite match up to your dreams?

Here’s where most manifesting books, coaches, and programs get it wrong.

Those people that tell you to just “visualize” and “think positive thoughts” so you can “change your vibration” and magically call in your desires are only telling you about one piece of the manifestation puzzle.

And yes, I do talk about those things too! However, I always encourage you to take the work deeper.

Please know that if you’re feeling stuck or like you can’t quite get what you want, it’s not a reflection of you.

It’s actually just a big red flag that there are deeper patterns happening in your own mind that you’re are likely unaware of.

But if you continue to ignore this stuff, it will continue to (secretly) trip you up and prevent you from getting what you really want.


The Truth About Subconscious Manifestation


The problem is that right now you are manifesting from your subconscious mind as well as your conscious mind.

While we all have our conscious desires that we are highly aware of, we also have unconscious desires: the desires of our subconscious mind.

That means that while one part of you is very much hoping to change, the other (larger) part of your mind very much doesn’t want to.

Your subconscious mind is hard-wired to protect you at all costs. And unfortunately, because of that program, it will hold onto old situations and patterns–even if they’re painful or unsatisfactory–just because it knows what to expect.

Your subconscious mind will always favor the familiar over the unknown.

Without doing the work to reprogram your entire mind to feel worthy of what you really want, you’re always going to run into blocks calling in your manifestations.

Here’s how I explain this: imagine having a car with one wheel turned in one direction and one wheel turned in the opposite direction. When you try to go in two directions at once, you will remain exactly where you are.

It’s impossible to make progress in either direction, as long as your will is divided and your subconscious mind feels it is not worthy of what you really want in life.

So if you’re in any way feeling stuck with manifesting or like you just can’t make progress towards what you want, then it’s time to fix it! It’s time to start creating awareness around your own subconscious programming so you can begin to heal it.


3 Parts Of Your Subconscious Mind


Your shadow, your worthiness (or havingness levels, as I also call it), your programmed limiting beliefs: these are the biggest subconscious mind elements that have an impact on your manifestations. Let’s have a look at each one:


Subconscious Manifestation Element #1:

The Shadow


Your shadow self is one of the biggest elements of your subconscious programming.

When I talk about the shadow, I’m referring to two different things.

1. Your Dark Desires

Humans are complicated creatures. While we have some very high-vibe desires, we’re also frequently motivated by factors that we’d rather not admit to ourselves.

For example, while your conscious mind is dreaming of wealth perhaps your subconscious mind is secretly enjoying the f*ck out of not having money!

It might very well love the drama and the attention and the constant rollercoaster dynamics of not knowing how to pay your own rent.

Most of us have a lot of shame around this–which means, we don’t even want to admit it to ourselves! But if we refuse to look at them, we can never heal and transmute those desires.

Or, in other words, as long as we pretend those dark desires don’t exist, they’re going to continue to rule over us.

2. Your Rejected Selves

You might be the most badass, confident, sexy creature right now. But were you always this way?

Most of us experienced some times during our childhood and youth where we were very much not the people we are today.

Maybe you were the overweight child or the acne-riddled teenager. Or maybe you had debilitating shyness (like me!) or some other issue that made you feel rejected, unlikable, and ashamed.

Those days might be long behind us. However, most of us “got over” those times by learning how to be something more acceptable.

However, that is just a coping mechanism. It typically means we’re still rejecting that version of use. On some level, we still agree with the shame we experienced back then–which is the complete opposite of full self-acceptance and real self-love.

Exploring your rejected selves can spark some huge lightbulb moments. This powerful work will always help you to become a more whole and integrated (and therefore powerfully magnetic) version of you.


Subconscious Manifestation Element #2:

Your Limiting Beliefs & Trauma


It’s tough to believe at times but so many of the things we take “as fact” are actually, not factual at all!

These things are limiting beliefs: the beliefs we have about the world that limit and prevent us from actually having what we want in life.

They sound like reasonable factual ideas: “There’s no good single men in this town.” “No matter what I do I can’t lose weight.” etc.

What has really happened is that our brain has gone out and looked for proof of these fleeting ideas over and over again, to the point that we don’t even question them anymore.

But trust me, they’re not actually true and–even worse!–they are getting in the way of you manifesting your desires.

This problem becomes even more compounded when the beliefs are the result of what I call Small-T Trauma: the kind of childhood trauma we all experience that “teaches” us that we are unlovable or not worthy of getting our needs met.

The lessons we learn in those moments (like when a parent ignores your requests to play) are extremely deeply embedded. What was a passing moment in your past can result in you carrying around a story of: “My needs are not important” or “I am not worthy of attention.”


Subconscious Manifestation Element #3:

Low Self-Worth & Identity


I just talked about limiting beliefs. While there are lots of types of limiting beliefs, multiple beliefs can work together to lower our self-worth and create an identity that ultimately settles for way less than we want (and deserve).

We all have some ingrained ideas of what we’re worthy of when it comes to love, money etc.

But the more deeply ingrained those ideas are, the more difficult it will be to shift them.

Taken to an extreme, when we identify these things as just part of who we are, we will fail to realize that we have power in this situation!

Basically, you have the power to learn how to become anything you want to be, no matter what your brain is telling you.

If we are someone who perpetually accepts low paying jobs or not-so-healthy relationship patterns, it’s time to think about our identity beliefs. Why do we continually accept these things into our life if we know they’re not what we really want?

Your self-talk is a huge giveaway here as well. If you have conscious (or unconscious) thoughts like “I’m such a loser.” “I’m a hot mess.” then you definitely have some subconscious identity issues to work on.


Subconscious Manifestation Blocks & Your Self-Worth


All of these elements can come together in various ways to form subconscious blocks.

But to put it simply, when your self-worth is too low, you will continually settle for less than what your conscious mind wants, without you even noticing it.

It will feel like you’re stuck in a neverending loop or pattern: changing jobs or relationships only to face the same issues, over and over again.

You might start to think “that’s just the way it is” or maybe even that you’re cursed or doomed to live a life that’s not what you really want.

But it’s really just your subconscious mind acting out its old unhealthy programming.

Starting now, you have a choice.

  • Take no action with your subconscious mind and continue to let life play out the way it currently is (going around in circles & feeling frustrated).

Or

  • Understand that while your subconscious has been blocking you, you can take back control if you want to.

We all have the power to reprogram our subconscious mind to raise our self-worth and increase our havingness levels (aka receiving more money, love, success, health, etc.)

This process isn’t just going to happen without you taking control.

(You can’t read a book about going to the gym and expect to lose weight!)

Your subconscious mind will be more than happy to keep doing what it’s always done. But you do have the power to change that! With a little time and effort, you can begin the process of healing.


Reprogramming Your Subconscious Mind For Manifestation


So now the question becomes how exactly do I reprogram my subconscious mind to receive what I want to manifest?

Fortunately, there are lots of ways to do this!

The important thing to remember is that your subconscious mind was programmed over time. So it usually takes time for us to fully integrate the new ideas we need to help us manifest.

Here are a few examples:

NLP (and/or) hypnosis is one of the most powerful methods. (I am soon releasing my new hypnosis package so stay tuned!)

Hypnosis meditations and subliminals are a way to do this at home. (I’m also offering a brand new monthly program with more of these very soon!)

EFT (or tapping) is another method.

Plus, there’s also journaling: a practice that I personally use daily, in conjunction with the other tools to help me rewire my subconscious mind for what I want.




Remember my dear friend, you are not cursed. You are not broken. And you are definitely not the exception to the manifesting rule! You are perfectly capable and deserving of manifesting your desires. You just need to understand the way in which your brain works first and then start doing the work to heal and reprogram what you think is possible.

Identity shifting is KEY to manifesting.Because Identity shifting is KEY to manifesting.Because you ALWAYS manifest from your subconscious mind.Meaning you WILL play out old programs and ideas over and over again.Until YOU decide enough's enough! And do the work to REPROGRAM your mind to reflect what it you want and who you need to be.But sometimes, this work doesn't FEEL like it's doing anything.Those little tiny shifts on the inside are close to invisible--which might even make you doubt that it's happening at all.But trust me gorgeous, it IS.Keep taking tiny steps forward.Keep doubling down on who you WANT to be.TRUST the process and understandThat little by little, bit by bitIt all adds upUntil one day you look around and realize: I'm already there.

What would it be like to TRULY be enough for yours What would it be like to TRULY be enough for yourself?💜To not CRAVE that outside approval or validation?To forget about other people's opinions or what they say behind your back?To not motivate yourself to move TOWARDS something only because you cannot stand where you are?This just goes to show that as much as we all LOATHE to admit it, so much of what we do is based off of artificially leveraging ourselves UP.If so-and-so would only say "good job"If that person would LOVE meIf I finally did [ insert arbitrary goal here ]THEN I could finally feel good and actually TRULY love myself.Sometimes we all get our wires crossed on this at times. (Myself included!)We focus on the future fantasy that our issues will MAGICALLY disappear once X/Y/Z happens.And we chase the things outside of us, forgetting that the ONLY place our true happiness lies is within ourselves.I'm here to warn you:You could run the whole race of life and NOT get what you think you need from other people.You could meet milestone after milestone and still NEVER feel like you measure up. 😩ORYou could start being enough, right here, right now.Enough = you as you are, flaws, mistakes and all.Enough = you without anyone else.Enough = you.💗Happy Thursday Conscious Creator friends!

It's a FACT of life: you're simply NOT going to fe It's a FACT of life: you're simply NOT going to feel good all the time.And that's okay!Not gonna lie: the last month or so has been rough for me.The darkness of winter + strict lockdowns/limited holiday celebrations were TOUGH.I've definitely had my moments of letting it all get to me.But that doesn't mean anything has gone wrong.It doesn't mean that I'm somehow failing.And it definitely does NOT mean I'm putting more space between me and my manifestation goals.Even with the BEST of intentions, life is 50/50. Expecting perfection at any time will ONLY set you up for disappointment.Feeling frustrated, down, exhausted: those are all normal feelings for anyone experiencing a pandemic (plus general winter blues/ political chaos etc.)So while I don't want to create MORE of those feelings, I'm also not going to judge myself for having them.Making your feelings WRONG does not speed you up back into feeling better. It only creates self-loathing and resistance.Are you feeling the same? Here are a few things that are helping me right now:- Just letting myself cry if I feel like it (Sometimes 10 minutes of a good cry is a sufficient release!)
- Concentrating on pandemic-lockdown friendly goals that I CAN achieve (Doing pilates every day, meditation + Manifestation Journaling)
- Taking a break from drinking (I only drank about once a week anyway! But why not try going without it for a month?)
- Doing more behind-the-scenes entrepreneur stuff (The kinds of things that are so easy to put off for "someday")
- Using my SAD lamp every morning! (I only just got it but I swear it's helping)
- NOT judging myself too harshly if I suddenly don't feel up to doing the work I had planned or posting as much I "should" (Being an entrepreneur brings an EXTRA level of potential self-judgment that's hard to get out of at times.)This is all just a great example of one of the most important lessons of LIFE.You don't get to choose all your circumstances. But you DO get to choose what you do WITH them.What are you choosing to create right now? Whether you're in lockdown or not, I'd love to hear it!
