3 Truth Bombs About Limiting Beliefs – Why Clearing Them Might Not Be Helping You Manifest Success

Have you been told that clearing limiting beliefs is the key to manifesting success, but no matter how much inner work you do, your dreams still feel out of reach? You’re not alone. Many people spend months, even years clearing common limiting beliefs, only to see no significant change in their external reality.

Why? Beliefs create your reality, don’t they?

They sure do when you put your attention on them! Beneath that layer is your core self-concept and this will come into conflict with what you desire time and time again until this deeper unconscious layer changes.

But your beliefs do play a significant role in your life. When you bring your attention to those beliefs they play out like magic. You can create new ones, which is something I like to do for fun and something I teach my clients to do too so that they can experience their creative genius in action!

There is something extraordinary liberating about creating a wildly outrageous belief and watching it unfold around you. Like in 2020 during panic buying in Melbourne, I created a belief that I could buy whatever I wanted, even when the shelves were empty and I would see the world rearrange itself to accommodate my belief.

My internal reality was that I could by anything and everything I wanted, even when the shelves were empty and I would see staff bringing in pallets of stock, that was on my shopping list as I arrived. Exactly like effing magic!

Now there’s an egg shortage too and when I first saw that there were no eggs in the supermarket, I told myself that was not correct and reminded myself that I can buy whatever I want, even when the shelves are empty. And then like magic, again, about 20 minutes later as I lined up to go through the register, I could see the eggs fully restocked waiting for me to buy them.

The magic of your beliefs is incredible. But unless you put your attention on them, they don’t really work with any consistency. Unless you have a lot of evidence, stories, thoughts and emotions that concrete them into a paradigm about how the world works for you. Like my other belief that every time I go shopping I get something for free; I have had this belief for over two decades and it plays out at random moments now like magic!

Your beliefs are amazing. But here’s the truth: Your beliefs are only limiting when they interfere with your desires. Until then, they are actually supportive. They are keeping you safe and streamlining your life so you don’t have to put your conscious attention on 1000s tiny details all day, every day. Like knowing to move your arm and scratch the top of your head when you get an itch, you do this automatically, you don’t have to make a decision about what to do in that scenario, you just do it.

There are many intricacies with when it comes to limiting beliefs and I’m going to share a few truth bombs with you because as it stands today, the way the healing community approaches limiting beliefs is misleading and incomplete.

Truth Bomb #1

Most manifestation teachings focus on identifying and clearing generic subconscious blocks. You know the courses and programs that focus on things like the 12 core money blocks that block your abundance? Well its clever marketing, but beyond that it’s total rubbish because it misses the context that is personally relevant to you.

You may share some common limiting beliefs about money, health and relationships, but the context that you have applied them to can vary to incredible degrees. So even if you clear the common belief, you miss the plot twist you created in your subconscious mind stay stuck.

For example. I shared the belief that I have to work hard to have nice things and have a lot of money. The old trading time for money paradigm and I think it’s safe to say that most people have this one. However I had also applied this to mean that I cannot receive money that I did not work hard for – if I don’t earn it, I cannot have it.  Maybe that’s from having to do chores around the house as a 7-year-old to get pocket money so I could have what I wanted, who knows. That’s not important, the context was there, and I had noooo idea and went and spent more money on another common limiting belief program that I got no results out of either. To me, the idea of receiving money for no reason, kind of made me feel like I was doing something wrong – as if it was against the rules or something. But the only rules and framework was the ones that I had created… isn’t that interesting.

Your perspective about a limiting belief can be so unique based on your experiences in life.

I grew up in a working-class family in the Western suburbs of Melbourne and I grew up with the messaging that ‘money doesn’t grow on trees’ and I don’t know about you, but when I heard this as a kid I thought it was a stupid thing to say.

I remember looking at my mum, confused… WTF? And my reaction was ‘I never said it grew on trees, that’s a stupid thing to say. Who told you that?’ Mum went on to explain it was an expression, but I did not let this perspective in. I thought it was stupid. So you can grow up with messaging in your house about money or anything else, but you might not have even taken it on. You don’t have to clear it, just because you remember hearing it. That’s not an indication it’s a block for you.

What does indicate a block for you is what is being reflected back to you in every experience you have throughout the day. You’re like a movie projector, constantly streaming who you believe you are, how you believe the world is and how you think you fit in to all of that. So if you do not like your experiences, that is your first indication that you have a “limiting belief” that is woven into a paradigm you have about how you see yourself-your self-concept.

Truth Bomb #2

The DANGER of clearing blocks that do not exist is that you bring the energy of those concepts and perspectives into your present day life. You change your vibration by focusing on things like the lack of money because it doesn’t grow on trees and activate the energy of this in your field to attract LACK to you.

So the more you go digging around for potential limiting beliefs that are interfering with your ability to successfully create the life you love, the more you activate the feelings and mindset that are in conflict with what you really desire in life.

Not all of the blocks in your subconscious are beliefs either. More than 80% of your core belief system was created before the age of 7.  For a number of years, your understanding of the world, was nonverbal. Your reactions were more emotional than logical assumptions of the world, so the block can be a series of weird feelings about things instead.

Not all of the limiting beliefs you need to clear are from childhood either. You create beliefs all the time, and you could have created beliefs that limit your ability to receive a 6 figure salary or 6 digit turn over in your business in your 20’s.

You are designed to create beliefs to streamline your life so that you do not need to make choices about every detail throughout the day. Some processes, routines, habits are hardwired in for convenience because you believe it they are the best and right things to do to keep you safe and happy in the world. Your beliefs are helping you in all areas of your life.

So if your beliefs are only limiting if they stop us from achieving our desires in some way, and our perspective of some of the common ones is so unique, how do you know what they are?

Excellent question! Thank you for asking!

You have to know what you want. You have to know what you desire to achieve for yourself. What you want your life to be like and know the details of that – as in what your life is like when you have what you want. Once you know that, anything that suggests it’s not possible or likely to happen, becomes very obvious. Knowing what you desire allows you to identify your limiting beliefs, thoughts and perspectives so you can change your mind about them.

When you change your perspective, it becomes really easy to drop an old paradigm and belief system so your whole life can change. A German-Swiss philosopher Fredrich Nietzsche argued that there is no truth. Truth is impossible – there are only perspectives and interpretations. Whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth.

Power not truth is what drives your reality. Your power to stand in a belief based on your perspective as truth is crucial to manifestation. It’s your POWER to change your mind and create a new truth for yourself.

I’ve said this before and I will say it again, truth is subjective. You can literally make up any truth you like and make it stick to create a paradigm for yourself and an easier life, so wouldn’t you?

Truth Bomb #3

You do not have to do a fuck tonne of inner work to manifest your goals. You only need to clear what is in the way and in conflict with your goals.

So I want to tell you about a client of mine who experienced a breakthrough in a decade long legal battle with his former business partner after one coaching session with me to illustrate how unimportant knowing the specifics are.

He was an older gentleman living in Jordon and he had never done any sort of alchemy work before and had no idea about manifestation either but he was frustrated that litigation had dragged on for so long and there was no obvious way to resolve it. He was referred to me by a client because he just did not know what else to do. He was willing to try anything and god bless him because he really committed to the process with me.

In our session we spoke about the outcomes he wanted. How he wanted his life to be, what it would feel like for him and what he would be able to do once the legal situation was resolved. I brought him into the energy of creation and I cleared some blocks that were in the way of how he wanted his life to be.

He went away and implemented a few exercises I gave him to bring his vision to life and I cannot tell you how excited I was when a week later I got an email from him telling me that he was contacted by a third party who offered to mediate the dispute to resolve it (mutual friend with his former business partner). An avenue to resolve the legal dispute opened itself up to him.

I didn’t find all of this business blocks, limiting beliefs about his former business partner, relationship and love blocks, money blocks, past life or ancestral karma… I just cleared what was in the way of what he wanted to manifest and the pathway opened up for him.

This happens all too often in my world because I get specific with my clients about their dreams and anything in conflict with that gets rewired so they can continue achieving what they want in life.

My client probably does have thousands of other blocks, we all do, but not all of them need to be cleared for him to reach a successful outcome. This is what I teach my clients to do for themselves so they have greater POWER and authority over their life, to command life.

Stand in your power!
