(#29) The No BS Science of Manifestation (Build Your Belief) · Alignment With Jenn

0:00
I think of your subconscious mind as your reality printer.
0:03
It literally is like a 3D printer that's constantly
0:05
printing your reality based off of what you believe.
0:09
The challenge is that most people have no idea what they
0:12
actually believe. OK, welcome to this episode of
0:23
Receive. I am your host, Jen, that's
0:26
easy. And today we're going to be
0:27
talking about the no BS science behind manifestation.
0:32
So I love manifestation and often times people can think
0:37
that it's very woo woo and it can be right and that's
0:40
beautiful and amazing. But it's also based in science
0:42
and it's based in psychology and it's based in the way that our
0:45
brains work. And when we tune into that, it
0:48
creates so much more belief that this is how it works and this is
0:53
how we create a reality. And it gives us so much more
0:56
power to truly shift and improve the quality of our lives when we
1:00
aren't just trying to hustle in the 3D and hustle in the
1:03
physical world. When we actually tap into the
1:06
unseen forces, right? The unseen forces that allow us
1:10
to create reality. We all are OK believing in
1:13
electricity. Even though we can't see it, we
1:15
can experience it. And when we start to tune in to
1:19
manifestation and the energetics behind it, we can actually also
1:23
experience it and experience it in our lives.
1:26
So I want to give you kind of the science behind it.
1:29
And there's really two schools of thought I think about when I
1:31
think about the science behind manifestation, I think about the
1:33
psychology. So today what I'm going to focus
1:36
more on, so that way I can go a little deeper, is the psychology
1:39
and the subconscious science behind it.
1:41
And then we'll do another episode later on that will be
1:44
more on the quantum physics, which is so freaking cool.
1:47
So the most simple way to kind of kick off this discussion is
1:51
this idea that I created a couple of years ago, and what I
1:54
call it is the tier method. So tier, as in TEAR and what it
1:59
stands for is thoughts, emotions, actions, results.
2:02
And that's the simplest way that we can think of at the most high
2:05
level, how we manifest our reality, right?
2:07
Our thoughts create our emotions, which create our
2:10
actions, which create our results, which are our
2:13
manifestations and our reality. The thing that most of the time
2:17
we don't realize is that a lot of our thoughts are not
2:20
conscious. We're not aware of them, right?
2:22
They're operating and going on in the background in our
2:25
subconscious mind. When we can start tapping into
2:28
those thoughts and start shifting them, we shift this
2:32
entire cascade because our thoughts are going to create our
2:35
emotions and our emotions are that fuel that's going to drive
2:39
our action. And if we're doing something
2:41
with unaligned emotions, it's going to be half as powerful as
2:45
if we align our emotions with it, right?
2:48
If I'm writing an e-mail and I'm like, OK, let me try to be nice,
2:51
but I'm actually really fuming with anger.
2:53
That e-mail is going to transmit that energy and it's going to
2:56
come across very differently, not only in the words I say, but
2:59
also the frequency that the person gets.
3:02
The response will be very different because my emotional
3:05
piece was different. But let's say that I am actually
3:08
really grateful for this person and I flow that gratitude into
3:11
that e-mail. They're going to feel it, right?
3:14
That's going to create different actions, a different result for
3:17
me. When we want to manifest
3:20
something new, we can kind of think of this as the starting
3:22
point. We want to shift our thoughts.
3:25
So that way we shift our emotions and our actions and our
3:27
results. That's that cascade that happens
3:30
and we'll get a little bit deeper into that.
3:33
And I wanted to share a couple of things about why I'm so big
3:37
about thoughts and mindset and shifting our mindset that are
3:41
rooted in science and that we often don't think about.
3:44
So one study that I recently read that was a Harvard study
3:47
was that optimists actually live 11 to 15% longer than non
3:53
optimists, than pessimists. And what I find amazing about
3:57
that is I think there's often times this idea that like
4:00
pessimists are more realistic or that they're going to get
4:03
farther in life because they're more realistic.
4:06
When in reality, research is showing the opposite.
4:08
Research actually shows that optimists are also more
4:11
successful because what happens in your brain is that your brain
4:14
is able to find more solutions and is more creative when you
4:17
are in a higher vibration, happier, more optimistic
4:20
emotions. When we close down our mind,
4:24
when we're more pessimistic, when we're more focused on the
4:26
negative, we actually do not have as much access to solving
4:30
the problems that experience in our life.
4:32
So that was the first study that I wanted to share.
4:34
About the second one is which I really, really liked is that
4:37
your beliefs about aging, whether or not you believe
4:41
positively about aging or negatively about aging will
4:44
result in a 7.5 year increase on your life.
4:48
So what they found in this study, it was a Yale study that
4:51
the people who had positive beliefs about the aging process
4:55
and about themselves aging, and they weren't like, oh God, I'm
4:58
aging and my life is going to end.
5:00
Those people who were positive about it, who viewed it with
5:03
optimism, lived 7.5 years longer.
5:07
Pretty amazing. And that speaks to the power of
5:10
our thoughts and the power of our beliefs and the power of our
5:14
expectations. So I experienced this in real
5:18
life when my first job out of college, I was a teacher.
5:22
I did Teach for America, which is a program where they put
5:25
recent college graduates, like high achieving college graduates
5:28
into inner City Schools where they don't have enough teachers.
5:32
It was an amazing experience, but I was horribly under
5:35
qualified. I was 21 years old at the time.
5:37
I graduated college early and I was responsible for six periods
5:42
of 30 to 4013 year olds. I taught 8th grade 12 to 13 year
5:47
olds and what we were responsible for doing was
5:51
helping them pass the California State Science test.
5:54
And I knew, I don't know how I knew this at 21 years old, but
5:58
somehow I knew that I was like, if these kids believe that they
6:00
can pass this test, then I know that they will pass this test.
6:04
So not only did I teach them about the material on the test,
6:08
but I focused on building their confidence.
6:10
I focused on helping them see that because they came from low
6:13
income families, because a lot of them did not speak English or
6:16
their family didn't speak English.
6:17
It didn't matter that they could still pass this test with flying
6:21
colours, that they could still do just as well as everyone
6:24
else. And as a result, 98% of my
6:28
students passed, which the year before it was significantly less
6:31
than that because my expectation became their expectation.
6:36
And this is shown in research, it's called the Pygmalion
6:38
effect, that your expectation of someone will be reflected back
6:42
in their behavior. So I expected all of my kids and
6:46
they knew this. I expected them to not only pass
6:48
that test, and there was a huge portion of my kids who got the
6:52
highest marks you could get on the test.
6:54
That was because of my expectation.
6:56
I didn't buy into their story of limitation.
6:59
I didn't buy into that what you expect in your reality will be
7:03
created in your reality. And so that's part of the
7:07
science behind how manifestation works.
7:10
And the reason for that has a huge part to do with our
7:14
subconscious mind. I think of your subconscious
7:17
mind as your reality printer. It literally is like a 3D
7:20
printer that's constantly printing your reality based off
7:23
of what you believe. The challenge is that most
7:26
people have no idea what they actually believe.
7:28
They think they do because they're aware of some of it, but
7:32
there's most of it. 95% of your subconscious programming, your
7:38
beliefs, your identity, your emotional memory, your habits,
7:43
your patterns. 95% of that is subconscious, meaning it
7:48
operates outside of your awareness.
7:50
So if we have subconscious expectations that money is hard
7:56
to make, I'm never going to succeed.
7:58
This business is going to be difficult.
8:00
No one's ever going to love me. Then reality, your reality
8:03
printer is going to print that out for you.
8:05
It's going to print it out over and over and over again until
8:07
you change that programming, until you shift that programming
8:11
because your subconscious mind, it's not deciding, okay, you
8:16
know what, I really want her to thrive, so we're going to do
8:18
this. It literally is just following
8:19
an instructions. It is like a printer.
8:21
You tell the printer what to print and it prints it.
8:24
Your subconscious mind does not necessarily care what you
8:26
consciously want. It prioritizes safety and it
8:30
equates safety with familiarity. So if it believes that you
8:35
having a loving relationship is unsafe because of your ex who
8:39
cheated on you, it's not going to make that easy for you to
8:42
recreate, right? It's going to create behaviors
8:44
like self sabotage, like never wanting to go on dates, like
8:49
finding it really difficult to connect with anyone, right?
8:53
Not being interested. There's many, many, many ways
8:56
that our minds will create these behaviors to protect us, right?
9:00
Because it's just automatically doing it.
9:02
It's automatically printing what's believed on that deeper
9:04
level. If love doesn't feel safe, we'll
9:06
avoid it. If visibility in your business
9:08
doesn't feel safe, you'll hide, right?
9:11
You might create content that on an unconscious level, you know
9:13
it's not going to do that. Great.
9:14
It's not your soul speaking. It's watered down content.
9:18
You may be very inconsistent with creating content.
9:20
If wealth feels unsafe, you will continue to find ways to stay in
9:23
scarcity. You might attract money, but
9:26
then you'll burn it, right? You'll spend it all on this,
9:29
that and the other. Understanding that our
9:31
subconscious mind is the one that is really printing and
9:36
creating what we experience and learning to work with it is
9:40
going to be essential for shifting and changing what we
9:44
manifest into our reality. Because a big part of our brain
9:47
is called the reticular activating system.
9:50
And I think of this as really the gateway to your reality.
9:53
It's the Raz. And what happens is your mind is
9:56
constantly taking in tons and tons and tons of information,
10:00
billions of pieces of information every single second.
10:04
What your reticular activating system does is it takes all that
10:06
information. It deletes, distorts, and
10:09
generalizes to make that information fit with the beliefs
10:14
that your mind already has. All of that programming that you
10:18
grabbed onto and that got stuck and imprinted into your mind at
10:22
a young age, from zero to seven, That is what your reticular
10:26
activating system is going to filter reality by.
10:31
So if you do not shift and change what those filters are in
10:37
your reality and in your mind, your reality is going to feel
10:40
very difficult to change. You're going to feel stuck.
10:42
You're going to feel like, man, I know I want to create change,
10:44
but I honestly don't know how it's going to feel like walking
10:47
through mud. I had a client describe it as
10:49
she's like, I feel like there's a rubber band around my waist
10:51
and I'll make progress and then I'll pull me back and I'll make
10:53
progress and I'll pull me back. And that's the experience that
10:56
happens when our subconscious is not aligned with our conscious
11:00
mind. And so we need to use not
11:03
traditional tools like therapy. Therapy is a conscious mind
11:06
approach. We need to use tools that get at
11:09
that deeper level, right? And that's what I do in my
11:12
programs. If you're interested in having
11:14
help with shifting and changing those that deeper level of your
11:18
mind, which honestly is the greatest gift you can ever give
11:21
to yourself, you can send me the word curious on Instagram and
11:24
I'll send you some information about that.
11:26
The reticular activating system is not trying to sabotage us.
11:30
It exists because we would literally go insane if we are
11:33
aware of every single thing that was always happening, right?
11:36
So what we want to do is just shift and change that
11:39
programming. So that way what our mind will
11:42
go from is filtering our reality based on these old programs
11:45
belief, to filtering our reality based on what actually matters
11:49
to us, based on our goals, based on our new identity, what we
11:53
believe about ourselves. One of the things that I want
11:56
you to think about is that the typical manifestation tools that
12:00
we think about, so we think about like visualization,
12:02
affirmations, scripting, those are tools that are designed
12:07
because they're trying to get your reticular activating system
12:11
to recalibrate to your desired reality.
12:15
When you repeatedly visualize something with emotion, it's
12:18
informing your subconscious mind that that's important.
12:21
And so every time you visualize, it's kind of shifting that.
12:25
The thing that I have found in my work is that there can be a
12:29
ton of resistance and it can take a really long time for
12:33
those tools on their own to work.
12:35
In my method, that's actually the last step.
12:38
It's almost like you're taking a toothpick to kind of chip away
12:43
at a brick. It takes a very, very long time
12:46
to make an indent. It can take months and years to
12:49
make a true indent with those methods, when what we can do is
12:54
we can use tools to turn the mind into a fertile bed of soil.
12:58
So let's say that I had a belief that money is difficult to make
13:02
in my subconscious mind because my whole upbringing, I saw my
13:05
parents struggling with money. So that's just an example.
13:08
You can apply any example that you're experiencing now to this.
13:12
What happens is that that creates resistance.
13:14
So if I visualize myself with a lot of money or I do a bunch of
13:17
affirmations about money, it's going to bounce out.
13:20
It's going to be a lot harder because I have this resistant
13:23
force that I'm dealing with. What we want to do is we want to
13:26
use tools that work at that deeper level.
13:29
Hypnosis can work at that level. RRT is my favorite.
13:33
I have my own elevated subconscious rewiring method
13:36
that I think is the absolute best for shifting and changing
13:40
at that deep level. EFT tapping can do it as well.
13:43
That's part of what the tools that I use.
13:45
But what I find is that when you can really shift and clear out
13:48
that deeper level, then your visualization, then your
13:51
affirmations, then the things that you want come so much more
13:53
quickly. This is like the sprinkles on
13:55
the cake. We want to actually shift and
13:57
change what's happening within the cake.
13:59
When we think about the subconscious mind, the first
14:03
piece that affects what we manifest is our reticular
14:06
activating system. But then we also have these
14:09
other aspects that also are going to dictate what we will
14:13
experience and create from our realities.
14:16
Another one is the predictive coding engine.
14:19
So the brain is constantly predicting what is going to
14:23
happen next. So instead of like watching a
14:25
scenario and deciding, OK, what's going to happen, the mind
14:28
is like constantly trying to get ahead of it and say what's
14:30
happening, what's going to happen, what's happening next.
14:33
What happens with that though is we will misinterpret events and
14:37
we will constantly see the same events over and over again
14:40
because we're predicting them based off of our past.
14:43
What's happening is our past is creating our present, which then
14:47
is informing our future. And so we are constantly
14:50
reliving the past, reliving the past.
14:52
What we have to do is draw a line in the sand and do this
14:55
deeper rewiring work on the mind.
14:57
Then we can shift that predictive coding engine so that
15:00
way the mind will begin to predict different things.
15:04
O the predictive coding engine, it'll remember past experiences
15:08
that are typically emotionally charged.
15:10
So if somebody treated you poorly or if money behaved in a
15:14
certain way or success felt unsafe, then those experiences
15:18
the mind is going to do a lot to protect you from.
15:20
It also works in the positive way as well.
15:22
So another way that the mind creates the reality is through
15:26
the stored memory network. So every single emotional
15:29
experience you've ever had gets stored in the mind.
15:33
So these childhood experiences, emotional wounds, successes,
15:37
failures, moments of shame and pride, these become the
15:41
blueprint. And I refer to these as our
15:44
subconscious blueprints. The way I think about it is that
15:47
we all have different blueprints for different areas of our life.
15:51
So we have a money blueprint, we have a relationship blueprint,
15:54
we have a career blueprint, we have how we view ourselves
15:57
blueprint. And as I said, we will continue
16:00
to recreate that experience, right?
16:03
If you take a blueprint for a house, let's say your architects
16:05
gives you a blueprint for your house and you give it to the
16:08
builder, the builder isn't going to go rogue and build something
16:11
else. He's going to build it to those
16:13
exact specifications of that blueprint.
16:15
The same is true for your mind. Your mind will keep recreating
16:19
those financial blueprints, those relationship blueprints
16:22
over and over and over again until you shift and change them.
16:26
And that's why shifting and changing our mind at this deeper
16:28
level is honestly the only cheat code I've ever found for life.
16:33
And it's not even really a cheat code, it's just learning how to
16:35
work with our true nature. Another one that we will
16:38
experience is habit circuitry. So we are wired for efficiency.
16:43
Human beings are wired to not waste energy so that way we can
16:46
survive. And habits are stored in a deep
16:49
part of our mind. And once habits are coded, they
16:52
become autopilot. Most people don't notice is that
16:55
a lot of our emotions are actually habitual.
16:58
Tony Robbins refers to it as your emotional home.
17:01
It's the home, the emotional space where you feel most
17:04
comfortable and you feel most safe.
17:06
Safe. And it's where you will return
17:09
to over and over and over again, especially in times of stress.
17:13
So let's say that you grew up in a home where there's a lot of
17:15
chaos. You are going to feel
17:18
unconsciously most comfortable, most familiar with chaos.
17:23
So you'll return to chaos and you'll subconsciously do things
17:26
to create more and more chaos in your life because that's
17:30
familiar. If protecting yourself and
17:32
keeping yourself safe and hiding was familiar and was your
17:35
emotional home, that's where you'll go back to.
17:37
Could be anger, could be jealousy, could be happiness.
17:40
I really believe that now that I've done this work on myself
17:43
and I've really rewired my mind, I feel like my emotional home
17:46
actually is happiness, which I'm really, that might be one of my
17:49
greatest accomplishments. So the habit circuitry, what
17:53
it's going to do is we will associate certain times of day,
17:58
certain emotions, certain things in our reality with habits and
18:03
we will unconsciously play them out over and over and over again
18:06
like a computer would. So let's say that for a month,
18:10
every single morning when I was on vacation, I woke up and I
18:13
scrolled. So then what will happen is I've
18:15
created that habit of scrolling, and so I will continue to scroll
18:19
in the morning. But the thing that we don't
18:21
notice about these habits is that they're never in isolation.
18:25
Habits create a cascade effect. And so that scrolling maybe
18:29
makes me not feel as good. So then maybe I'm more reactive
18:32
with my partner or I show up less consistently with my
18:35
business. So understanding these habitual
18:39
habits that we create and that our mind is creating and using
18:43
to create a reality can be incredibly empowering.
18:47
And one thing you can do with this is literally just study
18:49
yourself like a little scientist, write out what do you
18:51
do every single day and you will start to notice, wow, there's so
18:54
many patterns and habits I'm running that are very
18:56
unconscious because a lot of what we do is simply programming
19:01
and we want to become the the creator of our reality and stop
19:05
creating based off of programming.
19:07
When we think about manifesting the reality that we want, I
19:12
really think about it in very, very simple terms.
19:15
I think about it of I need to get my subconscious mind on
19:19
board with what I want, then I will see the solutions, then I
19:23
will attract the opportunities, and then I will attract the
19:25
experiences in order to create that.
19:28
Because as we know, our mind is creating what we expect.
19:33
So if I expect success, if I expect wealth, if I expect love,
19:39
that's what I will create. So I hope that you loved this
19:42
episode. It has been so great to be here
19:45
with you today and I would love to have you join me inside Match
19:48
for Miracles. It's my free audio series that I
19:51
just created where it's an 8 part audio series diving even
19:54
deeper into the science of the subconscious mind, how to create
19:58
shifts in the subconscious mind, how the subconscious mind can be
20:01
limiting you and how to get it on board to manifest the things
20:04
that you want. So this was kind of a taste or a
20:07
tease of that if you want to go a little deeper into it and
20:10
really learn some. Powerful tools, some powerful
20:13
shifts in your mind. Then send me the message on
