What stops you manifesting what you want ?

There are two main saboteurs here, Negative Thoughts and Limiting Beliefs.

I am not sure which one is more effective.

No matter how well you visualise what you want, or repeat your affirmations, somehow a part of you is creating a block at the same time.

When you introduce a new idea, a new desire, and your thoughts are shooting it down – that’s a clue that your attention should go to what those thoughts are.

These are the thoughts that are not true, but you have created a spiral of thinking that shuts down solutions. Very often the thought itself has no place in your world, but you have started to believe that the thought is your world.

Or you have a thought about what you want to create and your old limiting beliefs come along with an idea why it won’t work. Like, you are not good enough, not smart enough, never valued enough, or some other ‘not enough’.

Or perhaps it, or something else, has not worked in the past and so you believe it cannot work now for some reason.

Step one is knowing that thoughts come and go, and good thoughts can also come and go. Thoughts happen, they are natural and normal, and should be encouraged.

But when they are negative, they need to be spoken to. “Hey you there, thought about fear! Yes, you! You have had your turn! Off you go and let this happy thought have a go!”

Sound silly?

It’s a great way to highlight that you can choose your thoughts.

Yes, you can.

I saw what happened there, a thought came into your head to disagree with that statement.

But you can choose your thoughts. Think about a yellow flower. Now think about a cloud. Now think about your favourite food.

That is you choosing thoughts. You can also choose the ones that are happy, or peaceful.

Now on to limiting beliefs.

Many of these emerged in childhood when an adult said something like, “You are not clever enough to be a doctor, but you could be a great manager.”

And BOOM! In one step you think being a manager is a lowly job, you have to be really clever to be a doctor, and that you are not clever yourself.

Is any of it true? No, it is simply the opinion of one person who was speaking in a moment of time. Her upbringing, thought patterns and own limiting beliefs would have formed what she said.

And this brings us to step two: find your limiting beliefs.

Limiting beliefs could also be societal and cultural.

It could be that you see the reality around you, and are stopping the  manifesting from what you think is the obvious reality you are in.

A great example of this was when I wanted to create a retreat centre on a farm but I was still living in the suburbs of Johannesburg with a small garden.

I was a mom and energy healer and I worked from home – a far cry from what I wanted to manifest.

To begin, I wanted to create a mini version of my big picture, so that I could get the feeling of being a farmer. My big picture was so far removed from where I was, that I didn’t think I could create it (just one of my limiting beliefs at the time) but a mini version felt doable.

I got myself some chickens and was growing my own veggies. From the beginning, I told people I was a chicken farmer, supplying organic eggs.

When I first said that, there was a massive reaction in my body, and my thoughts would yell – NO you are not! Look around you! The reality is, you are just a housewife!

That was true, but I had created another true state for myself.

So I answered back – I am also a chicken farmer!

I repeated this daily, and my body objected daily with a ‘No you are not!’ but as time passed the negative thoughts and the limiting beliefs started to diminish. I learned more and more about chickens  and sold the eggs so I was, in fact, a chicken farmer.

After some months, I no longer had the vibrational frequency of disbelief, it had become the absolute certainty of who I was.

And this led to me having the confidence to look ahead to what else is possible, and in time acquire the property that would become the best retreat centre in the world 😉

If I had known then what I know now of the manifesting process, I would have created my dream a lot faster.

This is why I share what I do, and help the people I help in my intuitive healing and Reiki sessions.
