Why you don’t want what you think you want!

By Aine Belton

Below is an inquiry process that help you to become more conscious of possible blocks and resistances to a given goal or situation in your life.
  
It can reveal fears, hidden agendas, inner resistance and limiting beliefs you may want to let go of / heal /change.
Choose a goal you desire to manifest and answer each of the questions below in relation to that. Try not to censor, control or over-analyse your answers in the process, just let them flow and be as honest with yourself as possible.
If you don’t think you know the answer, just write down whatever comes to mind. If nothing comes to mind, ask yourself, “If I did know the answer to this question, it would be…” and see what arises
Answering these questions may press on buttons within and shed light on areas that you may not have been as conscious of.
Choice is a most powerful tool. Whatever resistances or blocks you reveal, affirm your choice and willingness to move beyond them. 

Affirm and get in touch with your desire for your goal, your deserving, and your ability and willingness to manifest it.
Ask the universe for assistance in healing, releasing and transforming any blocks or resistances that stand between you and what your heart desires.
Perhaps a book, healing, conversation, person, event, inspiration, new perspective, love, fun, connection, action, inspiration, receiving, or “aha” moment will allow transformation and the optimum shift to occur for you to move forward.
Process of Inquiry:
