Welcome to Part 2 of the Manifesting Magic Series.
In this post, we're diving deeper into the manifestation process by exploring the relationships between the conscious and the subconscious mind. Once you being shifting out of scarcity thinking the next step is aligning your beliefs with your desires. Manifestation happens when both parts of your mind work together, sending a clear signal to the universe that you're ready to receive.

How to Align the Conscious and Subconscious Mind for Manifestation
"When your conscious mind and your subconscious mind are properly aligned, you become unstoppable." - Sandeep Maheshwari, Youtuber, Motivational Speaker
What is Manifestation, Really?
At its core, manifestation is the process of turning desire into reality by aligning your energy, beliefs, and actions. It’s not about forcing outcomes. It’s about allowing what’s meant for you to arrive by clearing internal resistance. One of the biggest blocks? When your conscious and subconscious minds are out of sync.
You might be taking intentional steps, setting goals, visualizing, and using affirmations, but if your subconscious doesn’t believe those things are possible or safe, you’ll experience resistance, self-sabotage, or stagnation.
Conscious Mind Vs. Subconscious Mind
The conscious mind is in charge of active awareness. It’s logical, focused on the present moment, and governs intentional actions like setting goals, making decisions, and planning.
Example: Picking up extra shifts, applying for jobs, or visualizing success are conscious efforts.
The subconscious mind is deeper. It stores emotional memories, early conditioning, and beliefs often formed in childhood. It’s powerful and protective but may not always align with conscious goal setting.
Example: Growing up around financial stress might cause the subconscious mind to associate money with fear or scarcity, even if consciously you're seeking wealthy opportunities.
Why Alignment Matters
As author Jen Sincero writes in You Are a Badass:
"Our conscious mind thinks it’s in control but isn’t. Our subconscious mind doesn’t think about anything, but is in control."
This explains why you can take inspired action but still feel stuck. Until your subconscious is on board, it’s like pressing the gas and the brake simultaneously.
Neuroscience supports this: the brain’s default mode network activates when you write goals, visualize outcomes, or say affirmations. These practices communicate with your subconscious and, through repetition, can reprogram limiting beliefs. The brain doesn’t distinguish between imagined and real experiences—this is why vivid, emotional visualization can be so effective. (Source)
Manifestation Techniques: When and How They Work
Once you’ve cultivated an abundance mindset (see Part One), you can harness manifestation tools like vision boards, affirmations, and mantras more powerfully. These tools serve as neural rewiring methods that help your subconscious accept new truths by repeatedly engaging your emotions and imagination.
The key is that these practices must be rooted in authenticity and aligned beliefs, not wishful thinking.
How to Realign Your Conscious and Subconscious Minds
1. Strengthen Awareness Notice where you feel stuck i.e. love, money, health, or purpose. Reflect on the emotions and memories that arise. Identify any old narrative or limiting beliefs.
2. Reframe the Narrative Your subconscious responds to repetition and emotion. Replace limiting beliefs with positive affirmations that feel true and expansive. Write them, speak them, and feel them deeply.
Example: Instead of "I never have enough," try "I am open to receiving more than I ever imagined."
3. Align Your Actions Make your daily choices consistent with your new beliefs. Saying "yes" to opportunities and making space emotionally and physically creates a feedback loop that strengthens alignment.
4. Use Visualization as Neural Rewiring Visualize your desires in rich, sensory detail. Feel the emotions as if your goals are already real. This trains your nervous system to feel safe and ready to receive.
The Power of Inner Harmony
Manifestation is not about forcing or pretending, it's about creating coherence between what you consciously want and what your subconscious believes. When these two minds speak the same language, you become a clear channel for your desires.
Everything is energy, and the universe responds to your frequency. Take time to reflect, reframe, and realign. This is how you become magnetic.
