The Art of 'Letting Go': Stop Holding On to Your Manifestation

Ever feel like you're doing everything right, but your manifestation won't show up? You've visualized, meditated, and journaled about it—but it's still not here. If you've been caught up in the game of manifesting for a while, you’ve probably heard this before: “Just let go.” Easier said than done, right?

But here's the thing—holding on too tightly to your desires can actually block what you're trying to manifest. Why? It comes down to a mix of science, psychology, and the beautiful mysteries of the universe.

The Problem with Attachment

When you’re too attached to the outcome, you unknowingly signal to your subconscious mind that you don’t really believe you can have it. That’s when the self-sabotage kicks in. You might think, “If I really believe I can manifest this, why isn’t it here yet?” This doubt plants the seed of limiting beliefs—thoughts like “I’m not worthy of this” or “This is impossible”—and boom, you create resistance.

Remember Dr. Joe Dispenza’s teachings on neuroplasticity? Your brain literally rewires itself based on your thoughts and emotions. If you’re stuck in a loop of attachment and worry, your brain stays stuck in the same old patterns. You keep signaling the same stress chemicals, which just reinforce your old limiting beliefs. It’s like asking the universe for something but sending mixed signals.

Let Go and Allow

Epigenetics, which studies how our environment and beliefs influence gene expression, tells us that our thoughts have a direct impact on our biology. When you let go of the stress, the overthinking, and the need for control, you change your internal environment. You give your subconscious permission to bring in what you desire without the interference of doubt.

Letting go is a sign of trust. Trust that the universe (or your higher self, subconscious, whatever you resonate with) knows exactly what you need and when you need it. When you loosen your grip, you allow energy to flow freely. This is when you step into the space of receiving.

Why It Works

In simpler terms, letting go tells your brain, “I’ve done my part. Now I’m ready to receive.” This is where neuroplasticity comes in again. Your brain starts creating new pathways that are open to possibilities, and you begin to shift your reality from the inside out. You’re no longer resisting or holding on to doubt. Instead, you're in the state of flow, which aligns you with the universe.

Joe Dispenza talks about the power of tuning into the energy of your future self. When you act as though your desire is already here, without needing to control how it shows up, you allow the magic to happen. You stop chasing and start attracting.

So, How Do You Let Go?

It’s not about giving up on your desires—it’s about releasing the attachment to them. Here’s how:

1. Trust the Process: Know that what you desire is already on its way.

2. Check Your Beliefs: If you notice yourself getting frustrated or doubtful, it’s a sign there’s an old belief system at play. Recognize it and gently remind yourself that you are worthy of receiving it.

3. Stay Present: Instead of obsessing over the future, focus on enjoying the now. This helps to keep your energy light and open.

Letting go is about aligning with your higher self and trusting that everything you want is already in motion. Once you stop overthinking and trust the process, you’ll be surprised how quickly things start falling into place.
