How to use gratitude exercises to release beliefs that hinder your manifestations

Exercising gratitude is beneficial for your well-being. It can help you cultivate healthy thought patterns, become more resilient, and raise your vibrational frequency, hence according to the Law of Attraction attracting more positive experiences into your life.
When you are exercising gratitude, you can use this opportunity to sense how energetically aligned you are to the things that you want to manifest, and test if you harbor energetic blockages and beliefs that are hindering their manifestations.
To do so, express your thanks to the Universe for manifesting the things that you desire, and monitor if your heart feels resonating. For example, if you want to own a house, you can say "thanks for bringing a lovely house into my life" to the Universe. You may experience negative emotions, such as uncertainty and fear, if there are energetic blockages or conflicting beliefs obstructing your manifestations.
If this happens, you can trace back the roots of those blockages and beliefs. For example, could they stem from limiting beliefs absorbed during childhood or traumatic experience that happened some years ago? Afterward, release those blockages and beliefs by methods such as writing them down on a piece of paper and then burning it in a fire.
Manifestation is not a solitary process; you can ask the Universe to guide and support you

Struggling to manifest your desires? This could be due to deeply ingrained limiting beliefs that obstruct your manifestation. However, you don’t need to be alone in your journey; the Universe is always here to help.
The Universe responds to the vibrational frequency you emit. If you find it hard to believe in your desires, it’s possible you’re sending out a conflicting vibration that pushes away what you seek. But it’s perfectly natural to have these doubts. Throughout our lives, we’ve been conditioned to trust only what is tangible and evident. So, when our dreams aren’t physically present, we may deem them as unattainable fantasies, overlooking the possibility of them coming to fruition. It is essential to understand that feeling uncertain at times is a part of the journey, and you’re not alone in this.
Think of manifestation as a journey with several steps rather than a giant leap. Instead of pressuring yourself to jump from the beginning to the end, trust in the Universe to help guide you. For instance, if your dream is to own a home, but the thought feels distant, ask the Universe for signs or stepping stones. You might unexpectedly get a job promotion, or there could be a favorable shift in the housing market. As these tangible signs materialize, your confidence will build, slowly aligning you with the vibrational frequency that turns your dream home into a reality.
The importance of taking actions without attaching to the results
Written by Razhiel, posted on 2 February 2023 also on theearthforce.tumblr.com and Instagram.
Most of us are brought up in a goal-oriented environment, and are trained to be goal-oriented, which also leads to our tendency to be attached to the results. While focusing on the desired outcome can help us prepare and design our strategies to achieve our goal, particularly at the initial stage, being attached to the outcome can have detrimental effects. Have you thought of the real life and spiritual benefits of taking actions with your focus on the moment right here and right now while detaching from the outcomes? This article aims to provide the idea of this alternative mentality, and the benefits such mentality may bring.
1. Unaffected by the fear of failure
Many people have great ideas but they refuse to work on them because they are afraid of the possibility of failure. When one is detached from the outcome, they can easily take actions that they feel are right without being hindered by the worrying thoughts of “what if I fail?”
2. Aligning our actions with our inner being
If you are called upon to take certain actions by your heart, it can be a call from the Universe or your inner being! Our feelings, especially those that we receive when we are at peace or in a meditative way, can be guidance from the Universe and our inner being. On the other hand, attachments are related to the ego, and worrying thoughts come from the ego. By detaching from the outcomes, we make our actions more aligned to our inner being, and less affected by our ego.
3. Being more efficient
Being detached from the outcome allows us to focus our valuable energy and time on the creative process right here right now, instead of wasting our resources on worrying about a possibility.
4. Increasing chances of success
When we are attached to the outcome, we may feel worried and other negative emotions. Since our thoughts and emotions have energy, according to the Law of Attraction, these negative energies increase our chances of attracting a negative outcome. This can be stopped when we detach ourselves from the result.

From my experience, the spiritual community seems to have conflicting beliefs and approaches on how we should handle wants and desires. On one hand we have Buddhism, which believes that wants and desires bring suffering in life, so its teaching encourages people to forgo them. Then, spiritual beliefs such as the Law of Attraction describe wants and desires as good. So, how can this conflict be resolved?
My view is wants and desires are good if used properly. According to the Law of Attraction, wants and desires are the driving force behind manifestations. We, who are spirits having physical experience, come down to this physical world to experience, create, learn and expand. Through our new experience and creations, spirits and the Source expand. Therefore, us having wants and desires are vital to spirits and the Source.
However, we need to make sure that our wants and desires are aligned with the highest good of the Universe and ourselves. If the answer is yes, they may be important guidance from our inner beings! In this case, they are useful for us. Beware that depending on our conscious levels and how aligned we are to our inner beings, we may feel different and hence have different wants and desires. Also, the energies of other people and beings can have influences on us. For example, in the extreme scenario of someone unfortunately having multiple negative non-physical beings in their auras or even in their bodies, their wants and desires are likely to be far from what are the best for them. Thus, we need to be careful with our wants and desires.
So, if wants and desires are not intrinsically bad, then what causes suffering? The answer is attachments, as agreed with the Buddhist teachings. Attachments are what make us feel upset when our wants and desires haven’t been manifested or when our material possessions are gone. They pull us out of our alignment to our inner beings. In fact, they are obstacles to our manifestations of wants and desires! If we are too attached to our past, present situations, perceptions, beliefs and judgements, we will just keep on manifesting the same things over and over again, instead of being able to manifest the new things we want. Also, when we are too attached to our desires that have yet been manifested, we commonly generate negative emotions and thoughts that push us further away from their manifestations. So, we need to detach ourselves as much as possible. In addition, the good thing about not being attached is about having the freedom and ease to act according to our intuitions. When we wake up every day, we are free to adjust our lives and reinvent ourselves. Besides, the Universe is wiser than us. It often manifests something we truly need even without us realizing how important it is to us. We need to stay open to what is to come. If we are too attached to our wants and desires, we close our doors to other opportunities that may be even better for us!
To remove attachments, it doesn’t mean we have to get rid of all our material possessions and isolate ourselves like Buddhist monks and nuns do. Instead, our goal is to try our best to ensure that our wants and desires are aligned with the highest good of the Universe and ourselves, be open to what life brings us, live in the moment, and be as detached as possible. We can keep our things, relationships and wants while still practice detachment. But of course when we are surrounded by all these beauties and comfort, it is easy to get attached to them. Indeed, it is a lifelong spiritual lesson!

How to practice the path of least resistance
1. Not putting up with conditions that detract you from your alignment
2. Not demanding that others change
3. Don’t ask others to feel good
We want you to find some way to discovering for yourself what is the path of least resistance here and now. In other words, what is the path of most allowing? What can I do, what can I say, where can I be, what can I think that will allow the most of me to be present?
If you don’t do that thing (creating resistance) to stop the momentum, momentum will increase. So if you’ve got a desire and you are not killing it by looking at evidence of it every minute, if you are satisfied with where it is, if you are satisfied with it because it just feels good, law of attraction will cause that momentum to increase. But you’ve got to allow it to evolve naturally because if you try to artificially fake it till you make it, if you try to artificially make the jump into manifestation and start doing the actions thing, then you contradict your own energy and you don’t allow it to come about.
How can I be satisfied in my incompletion? How can I be thrilled about my flaws? And the answer to that is by understanding that the incompletion causes the completion, that the not knowing causes the knowing, that the confusion causes the clarity, and that it all mixes together, and that it’s all a good thing. What then happens is, as you discover your willingness to be really nice to yourself in that mix of vibrations, then you discover the deliciousness of being able to feel good about all others. The way you feel about the society in general, or at large is really the way you feel about yourself.
