Yes, I know what you mean. No matter how many affirmations, or mental exercises we might do, it feels as if we are weighted down by our problems and our mind compulsively goes in a negative direction and we can’t manifest anything we want.

In my own experience, I’ve discovered that one of the missing elements in my ability to manifest was the health and condition of my own body. You need a healthy body to manifest, otherwise negative thoughts overrun the body and create havoc in your life. The HIGHEST leverage point in improving the health of the body is NOT exercise (necessarily, though it may help), it’s emotional healing.

Growing up we were imprinted with negative emotional experiences, and these experiences are trapped in our body/nervous system, and often we block them out of our awareness due to them being very uncomfortable to think about or feel. This build in power and become the generators of all that we manifest in our life. It’s not necessary to consciously attract what we want, so much as it is to clear away all that is blocking us (which is usually emotionally charged negative beliefs). Clear the emotion > Clear The belief > Manifest automatically.

Check out EFT and TAT (on the links in the top right sidebar), these are exercises to clear away emotional junk. Use those techniques on your own personal desires/aspirations/trauamas/baggage and you will find it easier to manifest.
