Breaking Through Creative Blocks: A Live Emotional Clearing Demonstration
How to release the unconscious handbrakes holding you back from your goals.
A live clearing demonstration with Kylie Ryan & Katie, a creative & web designer.
The Dream Car Analogy
Imagine you're driving your absolute dream car; the one you've always fantasized about... Now picture driving that same dream car in first gear with the handbrake slightly on. How would that feel? Frustrating, right? Not quite the dream driving experience you envisioned.
This is exactly what most of us do with our minds every single day. We have these incredible goals – growing revenue, finding love, launching creative projects, losing weight – but we're unconsciously driving with the handbrake on.
When Conscious Desires Meet Unconscious Resistance
Here's what typically happens: We consciously want something, but unconsciously we have blocks pulling us in the opposite direction. Maybe it's stored trauma, past conditioning, or those voices from childhood saying "you can't do that" or "that's not for people like you."
Sound familiar? These unconscious handbrakes show up as:
Procrastination when you should be taking action
Self-sabotaging behaviors that contradict your stated goals
Scrolling social media instead of working on your passion project
Eating cookies when you're trying to get healthy
Splurging on impulse purchases when you're saving for a goal
The key insight? When our conscious desires and unconscious drives are misaligned, we feel stuck. But when they're working together, life feels like it's flowing – opportunities appear, everything seems to fall into place, and you're in that magical zone where hours feel like minutes.
A Real-Time Clearing: Katie's Story
During our recent live demonstration, Katie shared a challenge many creative entrepreneurs face. She wanted to launch a journaling brand alongside her successful design business, but a friend's comment – "You'd be a millionaire if you just stuck to one thing" – had created an internal conflict.
As a multi-passionate creative, Katie felt torn between focusing on one thing (which seemed practical) and honoring her natural tendency toward multiple interests (which felt authentic).
The Clearing Process
Using muscle testing and acupressure points, we identified the specific emotions blocking Katie's progress:
First Block: Vulnerability
Katie felt vulnerable to others' criticism about her multi-passionate nature. We cleared this by working on the large intestine meridian point while she processed the feeling that vulnerability could actually be her superpower – the very thing that helps her connect authentically with others.
Second Block: Fury
When testing the statement "I'm okay with just sticking to one thing," we discovered intense fury at the idea of being boxed into a single pursuit. We cleared this through the liver meridian, allowing Katie to reframe "sticking to one thing" as focusing on one task at a time, rather than limiting herself to one business forever.
Third Block: Integrity
The final piece was around integrity – Katie felt she wouldn't be true to herself if she wasn't multi-passionate. We cleared the stress around this, helping her realize she could honor both her need for variety and her need for focus.
The Results
Within 30 minutes, Katie moved from internal conflict to clarity. She went from feeling stuck to confidently stating: "I would like to launch my journaling brand."
Her energy shifted visibly – more relaxed, more certain, more aligned. When we tested her consciousness level around the issue, she'd moved from 175 (indifferent/scornful) to 1000 (pure consciousness) – a state where she was okay with launching the brand AND okay with not launching it, giving her true freedom of choice.
The Science Behind the Shift
This work is based on research from the HeartMath Institute, which shows how our emotional states directly impact our heart rate variability. When we're in negative emotions like frustration or fear, our heart rhythm becomes erratic. But when we shift into appreciation, gratitude, or peace, our heart moves into a coherent rhythm that makes us more magnetic to opportunities.
The clearing process uses:
Muscle testing (kinesiology) to identify specific blocks
Traditional Chinese Medicine meridian points
Targeted statements to reprogram limiting beliefs
A systematic approach to raise consciousness levels
Your Own Handbrakes
As you read Katie's story, you might recognize your own patterns. Where in your life are you doing things that contradict your stated goals? Where do you feel the internal tension between what you think you should want and what you actually want?
Remember, there's no shame in this – every human being has these unconscious handbrakes to some degree. It's simply part of being a complex, multi-dimensional person.
The Path Forward
The beauty of this work is that it's not about eliminating uncomfortable emotions – they're important and give us valuable information. Instead, it's about making peace with them so they can move through us like clouds passing through the sky, rather than getting stuck and creating internal resistance.
When we clear these blocks, we move from pushing against ourselves to being fully aligned. That's where our real power lives – in the space where we're okay with multiple outcomes and can choose from our authentic desires rather than from fear or conditioning.
Three Levels of Alignment
True momentum requires alignment on three levels:
Directional Clarity: Most people don't get what they want because they don't know what they want. Take time to tune out the noise and ask yourself: "What do I really want right now?"
Emotional Freedom: Clear the unconscious blocks that create internal resistance and self-sabotage.
Aligned Action: Take consistent action from a place of alignment rather than forcing or pushing.
Your Next Step
If Katie's story resonates with you, consider where you might have similar blocks. What goals are you working toward while simultaneously working against? What would be possible if you could release those unconscious handbrakes and bring all of your energy into alignment with what you truly want?
The journey from stuck to flowing, from conflicted to aligned, is available to all of us. Sometimes we just need the right tools and support to make that shift.
