Do you feel that you can do better but something is stopping you? And you cannot pinpoint what it is? Well, that is a “subconscious block”. These blocks can reduce your emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. This blog post tells you: what subconscious blocks are, how they can affect you, and how you can remove them.
Subconscious blocks are your negative thoughts, behaviors, and emotions in your subconscious mind. They happen because of your past experiences, beliefs, and programming. What’s more, you may not even know about them. They can stop you from achieving your full potential in life.
You may have thoughts like “I am not good enough”, “I will never be successful”, or “Money is evil”. These thoughts can stop you from trying to get better at your work and relationships. If you think money is evil, you won’t work towards getting a promotion.
Your subconscious stores all your thoughts… even the ones you apparently forget. Your present behaviours are based on those thoughts, actually. However, those thoughts can be good or bad. If they are good, great! But if they are bad… you can develop subconscious blocks.
Actually, they are your defence mechanisms against hurtful situations… that your mind thinks are hurtful. They may not be hurtful in reality. But they can have a bitter effect on your life.
For example, perhaps you had a trauma in your childhood. Your subconscious mind may make a belief that you are not safe… or that the world is a dangerous place. It can stop you from making friends, taking risks to move forward at the workplace, etc.
Also, your subconscious mind prefers comfortable behaviours and thoughts. They may be negative, but it will choose them just to keep your present mind comfortable. So, you can dislike change and may try to stay rigid in your negative beliefs… Which is bad for your survival in this world.
The first step in removing a subconscious block is to become aware of the fears or limiting beliefs that are holding you back. These fears and beliefs may be so deeply ingrained in your subconscious that you are not even aware of them.
To become aware of your fears, you can start by paying attention to your thoughts and emotions. Notice when you feel resistance or fear around a certain situation or goal. Ask yourself what beliefs or thoughts are causing these feelings.
Once you have identified the fear or limiting belief, it is important to go within and explore it further. This may involve journaling, meditation, or talking to a therapist or trusted friend. Ask yourself where this fear or belief originated and how it has been impacting your life.
Confronting the fear or limiting belief is a key step in removing the subconscious block. This may involve challenging the belief with evidence that contradicts it or reframing the belief in a more positive and empowering way.
For example, if you have a subconscious belief that you are not worthy of success, you can challenge this belief by questioning if that is true. And remind yourself of your accomplishments and strengths. You can also reframe the belief by affirming to yourself that you are deserving of success and abundance.
Finally, it is important to take action towards your goals, even if you feel fear or resistance. By taking small steps towards your goals, you can build momentum and confidence, which can help to break through the subconscious block.
You can look into your subconscious through Hypnosis, too. You go into a trance-like state and find out your negative thoughts. You can change them into positive behaviours to remove those blocks.
Subconscious blocks can stop you from your full potential in life. However, you can remove them if you know how your subconscious mind works. You can reprogram it to remove those blocks. That way, you can be more successful in what you do.

Subconscious blockages can arise from a variety of sources. Past traumas, negative beliefs, unresolved emotions, childhood conditioning, and self-limiting thought patterns are common causes. Traumatic experiences that have not been fully processed, negative beliefs about oneself or the world, unexpressed emotions, conditioning from childhood or societal influences, and self-sabotaging thought patterns can create subconscious blockages.
Unblocking the subconscious mind can be a process that goes deep. Here are some general suggestions that may help in unblocking the subconscious mind:
Self-awareness: Developing self-awareness is key to unblocking the subconscious mind. Pay attention to your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and observe any patterns or triggers that may indicate subconscious blockages. Mindfulness practices, meditation, journaling, or seeking feedback from trusted others can enhance self-awareness.
Emotional processing: Unresolved emotions can create subconscious blockages. Allow yourself to fully experience and express your emotions in a healthy and safe manner. This may involve talking to a trusted friend or therapist, practicing self-compassion, or engaging in creative outlets like art or movement.
Healing past traumas: Traumatic experiences can create subconscious blockages. Seek support to process and heal from past traumas through hypnotherapy, Havening or other trauma-focused modalities. This can help release the emotional burden and unblock the subconscious mind.
Challenging negative beliefs: Negative beliefs about oneself or the world can create subconscious blockages. Challenge and reframe these beliefs through Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), positive affirmations, or working with a therapist to identify and change limiting beliefs.
Mind-body practices: Engage in mind-body practices such as yoga, tai chi, or breathwork, which can help access and release subconscious blockages stored in the body. These practices can promote relaxation, self-awareness, and healing on a deeper level.
Journaling and dream work: Keeping a journal and exploring your dreams can provide insights into your subconscious mind. Writing down your thoughts, dreams, and reflections can help uncover subconscious thoughts, emotions, and memories that may be contributing to blockages.
It’s important to remember that unblocking the subconscious mind is a gradual and ongoing process that requires patience, self-compassion, and sometimes the support of a qualified therapist or mental health professional. It’s essential to approach this process with gentleness and respect for your own unique journey and pace.
Subconscious processes refer to mental activities that occur below the level of conscious awareness but still influence thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Examples of subconscious things include automatic bodily functions such as breathing, heart rate, and digestion, which are regulated by the subconscious mind without conscious effort.
Habitual behaviors like driving a familiar route or tying shoelaces are also often performed subconsciously.
Emotional responses, such as sudden fear or unease triggered by a subconscious memory or association, can occur without conscious intention.
Subconscious biases, attitudes, and beliefs formed through conditioning or societal influences can influence perception and decision-making
