Q&A
What are blocks in manifestation and how do they arise?
Blocks are limiting beliefs or subconscious programs that hinder manifestation. They often stem from childhood or adolescent experiences of pain, shame, or trauma, leading to a sense of low self-worth or a belief that certain areas of life are unsafe or undesirable.
What is the function of a block and why is it important to have compassion for it?
Blocks serve as a survival mechanism, protecting us from experiencing pain, shame, or rejection again. It's crucial to have compassion for these blocks, recognizing that they were created for our protection, even if they are now hindering our growth and manifestation.
What are some common fears that can act as blocks to manifestation?
Common fears include fear of not being good enough, fear of failure, fear of success, fear of rejection, fear of abandonment, fear of the unknown, and fear of change.
How can I identify and validate my fears and blocks?
You can identify your fears and blocks through journaling, reflection, and nervous system check-ins. Pay attention to your triggers, your reactions to situations, and any limiting beliefs that surface.
What is titration and how can it help me work through my fears?
Titration is a gradual approach to confronting fears. It involves taking small, manageable steps towards a desired outcome, gradually increasing the intensity or challenge as your nervous system adapts and builds capacity.
What are some of the benefits of working through my biggest blocks?
Working through your biggest blocks can lead to greater joy, happiness, and manifestation. It can also help you break free from repeating patterns, shift your neural pathways, and create a more fulfilling and aligned life.
What are some ways to uncover and work with blocks?
You can uncover and work with blocks through various techniques, including journaling, reflection, nervous system check-ins, parts work, internal family systems, and working with a therapist or coach.
How can I find my biggest block and what are some resources available to help me?
You can find your biggest block through self-reflection, journaling, and exploring your triggers and fears. Tooby Magnetic offers a free exercise called "Find Your Biggest Block" that can help you identify your biggest block.
What is the role of community and support in working through blocks?
Community and support are essential for working through blocks. Sharing your experiences with others, connecting with people who understand your journey, and receiving guidance from a coach or therapist can provide valuable insights and encouragement.
Is it possible to manifest while still working through core blocks?
Yes, it is possible to manifest while still working through core blocks. The universe often presents opportunities for growth and healing through the manifestations we call in. Even if core blocks take time to address, you can still experience positive shifts and manifestations along the way.
Show Notes
What’s standing in the way of your manifestation? Fear is a big theme that comes up— this can be fear of being seen, fear of failure, fear of success, fear of rejection. And if fear is standing in your way, you won’t be able to truly move past it with spiritual bypass or simply ignoring those feelings. That’s why facing fear is so central to the TBM work and why unblocking that fear is the theme of our Summer Challenge. In this episode, Jessica, Lacy, and Janelle dive deep into the concept of fear and how it connects to our manifestation blocks. They discuss how childhood experiences shape our subconscious fears and manifesting abilities. The conversation explores the origins of these fears, how to identify them, and practical steps to overcome them. They offer guidance on validating and navigating fears, building self-worth, and taking aligned action toward making your manifestation goals a reality. Interested in confronting your fears? Join the TBM community in the Summer Challenge to break through your biggest fears and transform your life. Remember: Your fear is a part of your roadmap—it does not define who you are, but knowing what your fear is and how to navigate it will make your journey toward your most whole, authentic self so much easier.
