What is blocking?

Blocking is when you say you want to manifest something but you are consciously or unconsciously blocking it. What are you blocking your manifestation with? A reason or an excuse that is more powerful than the want or desire that you are attempting to manifest.
BLOCKING EXAMPLE
I broke up with my last girlfriend in February 2005. After a number of months passed I decided I wanted a new girlfriend or at least a friend with benefits. It’s now September 2007. I still don’t have a girlfriend or a friend with benefits. I have not been in a relationship in almost 3 years. Am I a jerk or something? No, I was blocking and I didn’t even know it (usually the person blocking doesn’t know by the way).
The first major block was a decision I’d made about achieving dreams. I’d decided that there wasn’t enough time in the day to make my dreams come true and also have a social life. I felt that I only had time to have one or the other. I decided making my dreams come true was more important than having a social life. I worked 7 days a week regularly. I did this until March of 2007 when I began coaching the Self Expression and Leadership Program for Landmark Education. In case you aren’t familiar with Landmark Education it is a global seminar company. It’s the only seminar company that I’ve ever heard of that has seminars designed to help you uncover your blind spots (www.landmarkeducation.com). Thinking that I could only have my dreams or a social life was a massive blind spot for me. As I was coaching my participants through the program I had a coach who helped me be a great coach for my participants. Through discussions with my coach I realized that I could in fact have my dreams and have a social life. Talk about a weight lifted off my shoulders! It’s awesome to realize that you can have it all!
I made a dream board and put a picture of a girl I wanted on it. Within a few weeks a girl came into my life that looked extremely similar to the girl in the picture on my dream board. The girl I met originally had brown hair when I first met her. The girl on my dream board had golden blonde hair. I never told her about my dream board. A few weeks after we met she went on vacation. Guess what color hair she returned with? She returned with golden blonde hair! How cool is that? I took her out on the most expensive lunch date I’ve ever taken a date on. I thought everything went great but that was the last time we went out.
I made another dream board with a new picture of a woman. Within a few weeks I’d attracted a woman into my life. She had many of the same features as the woman on my second dream board. For example the picture of the woman on this second dream board had short hair. I haven't dated a woman with short hair in 9 years. The woman that showed up in my life had short hair. We didn’t work out either. I was so confused. I got on the phone with Aaron and Mike one day and told them I didn’t know what was going on. Luckily, I found out soon enough.
I met another woman through a friend of mine who was 100% corporate. I’m not a fan of corporate types because we think completely differently. However, we hit it off and ended up talking. When I told her I was crashed on a couch and going after my dreams she “got it.” Never in my wildest dreams did I expect someone as corporate as she is to understand let alone “get it.” She said, “I’m so impressed that you are willing to go after your dreams no matter what price you have to pay.” It was then that I got that being crashed on a couch and going after my dreams was actually a positive attribute. I’d always thought that there was no way any of the women I was interested in would date me because of me being crashed on a couch. As soon as I heard myself say this I realized I’d been blocking and I hadn’t even known I was doing it. I’d decided that women wouldn’t date a guy on a couch going after his dreams. Guess what appeared in my reality? Women who wouldn’t date a guy on a couch who was going after his dreams. As soon as I realized the woman of my dreams would date me BECAUSE I was on a couch going after my dreams, I made up a list of all the qualities I was looking for in a woman. When THE 3 ALCHEMISTS blog went live I posted those qualities of the woman I was looking for in the ABOUT ME section.
I did that on September 4, 2007. It’s now September 17, 2007. In two weeks I’ve had not 1, not 2, not 3 but 4 women come into my life.
The first woman came into my life after I sent a friend of mine my list of qualities I was looking for in a woman. She sent me back an e-mail saying, “I found her.” I’m supposed to meet her in a day or two.
The second woman came into my life as I was walking into the airport about a week after posting the qualities I was looking for in a woman on THE 3 ALCHEMISTS. We talked on the phone last week and set up a time to meet for lunch. She stayed out partying until 3 am the night before and ended up requesting a rain check for our lunch date. I’ll call her tomorrow or the next day to reschedule.
The third woman is the cousin of one of the women I work with at my job. She told her cousin about me and got me her e-mail address (she lives overseas). I e-mailed her last night and am waiting to hear back.
The forth woman I met in a store I visit each day as part of my job. We clicked. We’ve talked a number of times since our first meeting. I plan to ask her on a date when I see her again on Thursday.
I went from nothing happening for almost 3 years to having 4 prospective women in my life in 2 weeks. That’s what happens when you stop blocking your manifestations.
The key for you to understand is EVERYONE has blocks. If you haven’t manifested something into your life there is a very good chance that you are blocking. Blocks might as well be called blind spots because normally the person who is blocking doesn’t know that he or she is doing it. If you are struggling with a block feel free to e-mail me at namaste@the3alchemists.com. I charge $25 an hour as a manifesting coach. I do it on a case-by-case bases and it’s rare. I’m only motivated to invest an hour of my limited free time when I really see that a person is really serious about making it happen.
