“When nothing seems to Work”: Exposing the root causes of manifestation blocks
Ever felt like you what has always worked has lost its edge?
Or that everything you try inevitably yields the same result?
Do you overcome one issue just as another one surfaces?
Are you stuck and can’t figure out how to get out of “here”?
If this resonates, it's time to delve deeper into the two subtle, often overlooked, roadblocks that might be sabotaging your efforts and beckoning you to a new more expansive way to get “there”.
I have discovered that these blockers will keep you from what you desire most in life-in whatever way you choose to package your desire..a more fulfilling job or relationship, a new house, more time with your family or more money. At the core of what we all desire is the belief that it will allow us to feel better, in essence it will yield to us greater fulfillment, happiness and satisfaction So, we could say collectively that we all desire to feel our best and we are reaching for experiences, people and situations that yield this whether we are conscious of this or not.
Now you might think that the blockers to that “zen garden of our dreams” lie in time, money, talent or knowing the best system, approach or formula... something of that nature. Those are actually the symptoms. Just like in medicine, we can certainly treat symptoms and never actually address the root cause of them. Which means that you may think you made some progress only to find the symptoms just spread to a different area. This can look like finally making more money just to realize that now you don’t have time. I want to take you to the root cause of why you are not receiving what you desire so you can fully free yourself not simply just to gain a little more ground than before but to receive exponentially more than you ever imagined possible.
Blocker #1: The Resistance Trap
Blocker #1 prevents our ability and willingness to receive that in which we truly desire. I know it sounds crazy. Of course, we could receive it if it came right?! Unfortunately, we often miss “its unfolding” because we are unconsciously operating in resistance to life and what is flowing towards us at the present time. It is like looking for your keys while holding them in your hands. We cling to what is good (defined as what we like) and push away what is bad (defined as outside of our preferences). We insist on it being the way we “think” it should be and protest that it isn’t working when life unfolds differently. We don’t realize that by resisting what is unfolding in the present we are blocking our ability to receive that in which we want in the present and the future.
This resistance causes a fear-based response to life (“It is not working for me so I better step in!”) in which we confirm a limiting belief that we can’t trust the universe which means we don’t trust ourselves as we are a part of the universe. This places our energy in a contracted, and protective state.. It is like closing our fist while asking for something. Nothing can be delivered to us when we have shut down our receptors. Why is this? Because like energy follows like energy. When we are focused on the “no” and inner resistance to what is happening then that is the core energy we are calling into our life. We become resistors to the creative pathways guided by our higher mind that always conspire for the most easeful and “out of the box” approach to how we can manifest what we want. Fear perpetuates lack and lack breeds fear and this will trap you over and over again in sneaky ways.
Getting past this blocker requires that we trust life and ourselves as we own and occupy our role as creators of our life. We validate this trust by understanding that everything that comes into our life is helpful and a pathway to move us towards what we desire. So, we are safe to open to it. Even the things we would not prefer. They are revealing to us where we may be stuck or where we are continuing down a dead end or using some unskillful tools, or creating from fear. This is vital to receiving what we desire. We can substitute “It is not working” for “Now isn’t this interesting. Wonder where this will take me!”.Feel the energetic shift when we open to what is here instead of push it away.
Blocker #2: The Silent but deadly dream killer-unworthiness
This leads us to the root cause of any manifestation “issues” and this is directly linked to our receptivity: misidentifying ourselves as unworthy.
This belief shows up in a couple ways.
One is dismissing what we truly desire by thinking it is not timely, reasonable, responsible, attainable, ethical/spiritual…whatever excuse we come up with. “I cannot have what I want. “
The second is to acting out the fears that confirm the belief “I cannot have what I want unless I work to get it.”
Both of these beliefs are the result of a deeper belief that we feel unworthy stemming from a mindset rooted in lack and denial of the wholeness of you as a person and of the fullness of how life works. On the creation spectrum there are two ends: the end of receptivity and allowing and the end of action and creating. Nature demonstrates this universal truth. Trees can produce seeds but they also must receive rain and sunlight. There is a collaboration & synergy to this whole creation process.
Many of us would say “Sure, I think I am worthy”, but this is more than just a mental understanding and knowing. It cannot be lip service as we are in an energetic vibrational reality and you can’t trick energy. It is a psychosomatic experiencing of our value and a knowingness of it on a deeper level that truly allows us to open to life and to our ability to create and receive that which is within us.
What we desire is a part of us and therefore we don’t have to push and grind our way to it because we are not separate from it. Now, this is not to argue that actions don’t produce results because of course they do. However, all actions are not created equal and we must know what belief is motivating our action. When we act of fear (fear that it isn’t happening, that we cannot have it), we are confirming unworthiness because our actions are rooted from a place of separateness, a place of having to over effort because we don’t trust, sacrificing or denying parts of ourselves (the receptive, open, trusting parts) to attain a result. Fear perpetuates lack and lack breeds fear and this will trap you over and over again in sneaky ways. When we act from an inspiration or out of love and delight, we affirm our worthiness and the abundance that we are.
If we anchor on the limiting belief that it is solely our action (therefore claiming only part of our worthiness) a few things tend to happen:
One: we will be disappointed with the effects of our actions as they will never truly get us where we desire from a deeply satisfying and fulfilling space ifwe are being honest with ourselves.
Two: Those “symptoms” of resource constraints will keep surfacing because we are only operating on our own will and action and this is not a balanced place on the spectrum of manifestation. You will find that this zone will yield a ceiling because there is a limited amount of time, energy and resources you as a human have. You can certainly optimize the hell out of it but in the end there is a limit and you will find it when you are not open to receive the collaborative elements that life is trying to offer you.
Three: We will be forced to adapt, conform or tolerate through our actions in misaligned ways to “get what we want” which never feels good because we have forgotten how to value ourselves and that our value is not anything that has to be proved, confirmed or negotiated with the external world. When we know our value we can be ourselves and act in ways that align. Always. No exceptions.
What I find is that many people stay on the action only end of manifestation spectrum to stay safe and in control. You can manifest a decent life here even a wildly “successful “ one. I certainly did. It is the epitome of a great life on paper yet you feel something is amiss. Or robbing peter to pay paul your entire life-trading time for money and money for time.
To get out of this trap, we have stop acting out of our fears and start to be fed by our intuition and creativity which inspire and move us! We have to act on our knowing of our worth.
The real invitation when “It is not working”
When we allow ourselves to want more and to experience greater levels of fulfillment, we realize that the paradigm we have been operating under simply won’t work. We need a new paradigm and that is when we will bump up to the invitation to experience the other end of the spectrum-receiving and learning how to embody our worthiness. I find this manifests as “nothing I do is working!”
This is where the true zest of life lives, and the most mind-blowing experiences and realizations start to occur. We start to know ourselves as who we truly are not who we think we should be. We recognize that beauty of how life works and how it can truly be way more easeful and fun to inhabit our lives. This is where we realize we are glad we are not in control because trusting the greater wisdom within gives us exponentially more resources to work with. We can be delighted and surprised by the unfolding of how we are always arriving into these better feeling places without a lot of the angst we thought we had to use to get there. We allow in more support and intuitive guidance to complement the mind and our actions are inspired out of joy (rather than fear reactive)
So-where do you start when you realize you want to stop playing it safe and allow yourself to open into the ever expanding you who you are becoming?
When you realize that you need a new set of tools?
That you want to move from shouldering the “burdon” of life to opening your arms to receiving in less stressful means.
Allow yourself to be here and acknowledge that you didn’t do anything wrong, life isn’t against you. You are being invited to expand and to learn a new way of manifesting what you desire. Accept yourself as you are in this place as it is the perfect place to learn as there are no wrong turns and long routes allow you to take in more scenary.
Be willing to accept help and be open to learning. Open your heart to yourself and your experience, be kind and compassionate as with anything we learn we feel clunky and out of place.
“When the student is ready the teacher comes”..is wisdom when we find ourselves in this place. Open your mind and ears to the wisdom that is readily available to support you. This may come in the form of books, videos, coaches, healers, new friends, classes…if you open and you seek it is answered. Every time no exceptions. Trust this.
