The energetics of manifesting and why you might be feeling stuck

The energetics of manifesting: why you might be feeling stuck! When most people think about manifesting, they imagine visualising their dream life, writing affirmations in their journal, and getting into the “feeling” of already having what they desire. And while these are important tools in the manifestation process, they only scratch the surface.

There’s a deeper layer to manifesting that often gets overlooked—and it’s the reason so many people feel like their manifestations just aren’t working.

Let’s talk about energy

Your energy field isn’t just made up of your conscious thoughts and intentions. In fact, science tells us that your conscious mind only makes up about 5% of your total mind power. The remaining 95%? That belongs to your subconscious. This means that if your conscious mind wants one thing, but your subconscious is holding onto a fear, block, or belief that contradicts it, your subconscious will win every time.

It’s like trying to drive with the handbrake on. No matter how hard you press the accelerator, that inner resistance will slow you down—or bring you to a complete stop.

The Hidden Blocks That Sabotage Your Desires

These subconscious blocks aren’t always obvious. Some you might vaguely suspect, others might be completely buried beneath layers of conditioning, trauma, or self-protection mechanisms. And if you’re not being radically honest with yourself, you might not even see them at all.

Take relationships as an example. You might think you want to manifest a loving partnership. But if deep down you fear vulnerability, don’t believe you’re worthy of love, or associate intimacy with pain or loss, your subconscious will quietly sabotage any effort to call in that kind of connection. Why? Because it sees your desire as unsafe.

You manifest what is aligned with your energy, not just your thoughts. And your energy is made up of both your conscious desires and your subconscious truths. This is the hidden power of the energetics of manifesting.

Honesty Is the Key

This is where most people get stuck. They keep pushing forward with surface-level manifesting tools, hoping for a breakthrough, but ignore the discomfort of looking within. Real manifesting work requires brutal honesty. You must be willing to ask:

• What part of me is scared of having what I want?
• What am I afraid will happen if I actually get this thing?
• Do I truly believe I deserve this?

If you’re willing to face the answers without judgment, you’re already halfway there.

Time is Stretchy, Energy is Everything

The good news? Once those hidden blocks begin to clear, the energy around your manifestation shifts. Time becomes stretchy. Things that once felt far away begin to move toward you. Quickly. Miraculously.

Because now, you’re not trying to manifest from just 5% of your energy. You’re in alignment. All parts of you are on board. The path is clear.

How to Begin

1. Start with Awareness – Pay attention to where you feel stuck, triggered, or frustrated. These are clues.
2. Explore the Block – Get curious. Ask yourself what fear or belief could be sitting underneath.
3. Feel it to Free it – Don’t bypass the emotion. Let it move. Let it speak.
4. Rewire the Pattern – Once seen and felt, a block can begin to shift. Use tools like inner child healing, shadow work, somatic practices, or energy clearing to help release it.
5. Align and Receive – As your energy realigns, your desires have a clear channel to come through.

Manifesting isn’t about “thinking positive” all the time. It’s about becoming energetically available to receive. That means doing the deep, sometimes uncomfortable inner work to remove what’s standing in the way.

When you clear the blocks, your desires can’t help but flow in.
