Have you ever wanted something and found yourself feeling held back, locked in and paralysed by an inner struggle between two conflicting parts of you, one wanting the wish to be fulfilled and the other not, wanting to feel powerful yet at the same time feeling powerless to change

It is important to work on clearing out the old limiting beliefs from your subconscious. On the surface you may be consciously focused on your wants and desires and may even make positive affirmations about them but deep down in your subconscious and in your body, where the subconscious resides, if you're convinced you DON'T DESERVE them you will be prevented from accomplishing your heart's desire by naturally formed unconscious automatic responses in your body. You can't take control of something you are not conscious of and it is only likely to add to your frustration.

This is what you might call SABOTAGE... It can happen equally with other negative thoughts, beliefs (which are simply thoughts repeated over and over) and emotions like fear anger, doubt, judgment, depression, sadness and so on. They literally build a barrier that rejects or blocks the more positive signals sent to you from your Essential Higher Self.

Most of these limiting beliefs and blocks are not just abstract thoughts, ideas or concepts... but they are an actual physical presence as they become embodied or manifested in the body.

Thoughts and feelings become 'embodied' over time and show up in the very structure of our cells. On the surface of these cells are something called 'receptors', or more specialised structures which are fine tuned to receive certain specific signals, many of which are emotionally configured.

So if, for example, there was a time or two (or more) when your body was flooded with feelings of "don't deserve", with constant repetition, your cells became attuned to that emotion, as your body readied itself to receive whatever you continued to feed it.

You could almost say that the cells have developed a natural bias or 'red flag' alert towards the signal,"not deserving" and if it happens often enough it becomes almost like an 'addiction'. So the thought, the desire for something, automatically becomes twinned with and triggers a "don't deserve" response as it travels through the biochemical and electromagnetic medium of the body to the receptors on the cells that have already been primed to receive 'don't deserve' signals.

But also, since like attracts like, any thoughts that are SIMILAR to the original thought or desire will ALSO trigger feelings of not deserving as these similar thoughts and desires also feed into the already 'primed' receptors. Eventually the cell may grow so many of these 'alike' receptors that there's no more room on the surface of the cell to grow or accomodate the more positive 'joy-' or 'self worth-' receptors.

So the experience of joy is inhibited even though you may want to be joyful (Usually if you 'want' to be joyful there is a feeling of 'lack' underneath it)

Your body and its responses will grow according to how you feed it. Are you going to feed it negative thoughts or feelings or something better? Once you become aware of how all of these blockages got put into place you can choose to replace the old patterns, gradually feeding yourself with positive, nurturing thoughts. And then as the negatively tuned receptors fall away through disuse, you can nurture the growth of new receptor cells more in tune with abundance and well-being. Then your wish becomes your command.
