Turn Up the Dial! Releasing Old Beliefs to Receive What You Want

When most people talk about manifestation, they focus on what they want — the vision, the goal, the future outcome.
But in my experience, manifestation isn’t about desire alone.
It’s about capacity.
What are you truly willing to have?

Last week during Sacred Soul Sessions, we explored a powerful yet subtle tool I often use in my healing work called the Havingness Gauge. It helps reveal how much you can energetically receive — without resistance, guilt, fear, or self-sabotage stepping in.
Because here’s the truth:
You can want something deeply…
and still be blocking it unconsciously.
The Invisible Blocks We Carry
Old beliefs don’t live only in the mind.
They live in the nervous system, the chakras, and the energetic field.
Beliefs like:
• “It’s not safe to have more.”
• “If I succeed, something bad will happen.”
• “I don’t want to outshine others.”
• “I have to struggle to deserve.”
Most of these beliefs formed early in life — or through lived experiences — as protective mechanisms. At one point, they served a purpose.
But over time, they quietly cap your ability to receive.
This is why manifestation work must include release, not just intention.
The Havingness Gauge: How Much Do You Really Think You Want It?
In my one-on-one sessions, I often use the Havingness Gauge to explore something most people have never been asked to look at:
Not just what they want — but how much they believe they can actually have it.
Clients may say they want abundance, clarity, love, ease, or purpose — yet when we tune into the energy body, the gauge often tells a different story. It reveals where hesitation, fear, old conditioning, or self-protection is limiting their capacity to receive.
This isn’t about judgment.
It’s about awareness.
When we can see where the dial is set, we can gently work with the nervous system and energy field to release what’s holding it in place — and safely begin to turn it up.
This is where real transformation happens. Not through pushing or forcing, but through expanding what the system knows is safe to hold.
A Simple Practice: Turn Up the Dial!
You can use this short practice anytime you feel stuck, close to a breakthrough, or repeating the same patterns.
1. Settle the Body
Close your eyes and take three slow breaths into the heart. Let your shoulders soften. Let your body feel supported.
2. Bring Awareness to the Heart Center
Imagine a gentle dial or gauge in the center of your heart — this represents your capacity to receive.
Notice where it’s set right now. No judgment.
3. Identify the Limiting Belief
Ask quietly:
What belief limits how much I allow myself to have?
Let the answer arise naturally.
4. Release with Compassion
Imagine that belief loosening and dissolving — not with force, but with understanding. Thank it for trying to protect you.
5. Turn the Dial Up
Now gently turn your Havingness Gauge up one notch.
As you do, say silently or out loud:
“I can have it!"
Let the words anchor into the body — not as hope, but as permission.
6. Anchor the New State
Breathe into this expanded state and affirm:
It is safe for me to receive.
I am open to what aligns with my highest good.
Stay here for a few breaths and allow the shift to settle.
Manifestation Is a Nervous System Skill
Manifestation isn’t about forcing outcomes or thinking positively enough.
It’s about teaching your system that it’s safe to hold more — more joy, more abundance, more visibility, more ease.
When old beliefs release, your energy naturally reorganizes around what you’re ready to have.
If this work resonates and you’re ready to go deeper, there are two ways to experience and learn these tools in a guided, supportive space.
Sacred Soul Sessions are bi-weekly group experiences where we explore practices like the Havingness Gauge through guided meditation, energetic clearing, and intuitive work — helping you release old patterns and safely expand your capacity to receive.
Sacred Intuition Academy is where you learn these tools for yourself. Inside the Academy, you’ll be taught how to work with techniques like the Havingness Gauge and many more — building intuitive awareness, nervous system safety, and energetic confidence you can apply in daily life.
Whether you’re looking to receive the work or learn how to work with energy and intuition yourself, both offerings are designed to support deep, sustainable transformation.

When manifestation, havingness, and intuitive development come together, transformation stops being something you chase — and becomes something you’re finally able to hold.
