Do this to remove blocks to manifestation. When we bless what we want, we instanly feel wealther, remove blocks to manifestion and open the doors to a new life. This is a session from the Archieve. Recorded in Kauai, Hawaii, sitting by the ocean. Enjoy!

Update on this story: After I did this practice, the problem I was worred about never happened. They changed plans for some reason, and it all worked out perfectly. 

What if the thing blocking your manifestation isn’t your desire… but the feelings underneath it?

In this episode, we’re diving into the power of letting go — not as a spiritual cliché, but as a real energetic and emotional shift that can help you manifest with so much more ease.

You’ll learn why fear, doubt, desperation, resentment, and subconscious resistance can keep you stuck in the same patterns, even when you’re affirming, visualizing, and doing “all the right things.” We’ll explore how to release what’s behind the block, how to stop chasing your desires, and how to enter the feeling of already having what you want.

This episode includes a practical method for releasing stuck emotions, clearing subconscious resistance, and becoming available to receive what you’ve been asking for.

Most people wait for the right opportunity, the right circumstances, or the right moment before they act. But according to Paramhansa Yogananda, one of the greatest powers we possess is initiative — the ability to create, begin, and move forward from within ourselves rather than simply reacting to life.

In this episode, we explore the creative power of initiative and how it can transform every area of your life. You’ll discover why initiative is more than motivation, how it awakens your hidden potential, and why the people who make the greatest impact are often those who dare to take inspired action before they feel fully ready.

We’ll discuss how initiative helps you overcome fear, break through inertia, develop confidence, unlock creativity, and become a conscious creator of your life rather than a passive observer of it. Drawing on the wisdom of The Law of Success, we’ll explore practical ways to cultivate this spiritual and practical power so you can bring more purpose, abundance, effectiveness, and fulfillment into your daily life.

If you’ve been waiting for life to change, this episode is an invitation to remember that some of life’s greatest opportunities begin the moment you decide to take the first step.

Enjoy!

Most people are so busy living their lives that they never stop to examine them. And yet the gap between where you are and where you want to be almost always comes down to something you haven't seen clearly yet. In this episode we explore the practice of honest self-examination — not to judge or criticise, but to finally understand what is working, what isn't, and what your life is actually asking of you right now.

What if you have been reading your failures completely wrong? Not as evidence that something is missing in you — but as the exact conditions needed to grow something stronger. In this episode we explore why the season of failure is more powerful than it appears, how to mine it honestly without getting lost in it, and what becomes available to you when you meet your setbacks with curiosity rather than collapse.

Fear doesn't just feel uncomfortable... it is quietly spending the very energy you need to think clearly, create freely, and move forward with confidence. Most of us have learned to live with a low hum of it running in the background, so constant we've stopped noticing the toll it takes. In this episode we explore what fear is actually doing beneath the surface, why willpower alone can never overcome it, and what it means to access a source of energy that fear simply cannot touch.

Most people think of willpower as something you either have or you don't. Something that runs out by Wednesday. Yogananda saw it completely differently.

In this episode Michael Mackintosh explores one of the most electrifying chapters in The Law of Success — the teaching that will is not a limited personal resource but the very dynamo behind every single thing you do. Every thought. Every movement. Every creation. Nothing manifests in the physical world without will flowing through it first.

The question Yogananda was really asking is this — are you using your will consciously, or are you letting it run on mechanical autopilot? Because there is a version of you that drifts through life reacting, and a version that moves with divine intention behind every step. The gap between those two versions isn't talent or circumstance. It's the conscious direction of the power you are already using every moment of every day.

When you learn to harness that — everything changes.

You are not failing because of your circumstances. You are not stuck because of other people, bad timing, or bad luck. Yogananda pointed to something far closer to home, our habitual trend of thought. Not what you think once in a while when you're feeling inspired. What your mind defaults to when no one is watching.

In this episode Michael Mackintosh unpacks one of the most honest and clarifying chapters in The Law of Success. Yogananda makes clear that an occasional positive thought dropped into a mind that habitually runs negative will not move the needle. Real transformation begins when you take full ownership of your inner world — and stop outsourcing responsibility for your life to anything outside yourself.

He also offers something most productivity teachers never mention — the power of stepping back from a problem entirely, going into the deep stillness of your inner Self, and allowing divine attunement to do what effort alone never can. From that place, thought realigns. Direction becomes clear. And what felt impossible begins to shift.

This is where true success actually starts.

Most people think opportunities happen to them. They wait, they hustle, they hope — and they miss the deeper truth that Yogananda laid out with startling clarity over a century ago.

Opportunities are not found. They are created. And the force that creates them lives inside you right now.

In this episode Michael Mackintosh explores the opening teaching of Yogananda's The Law of Success — a chapter that cuts straight to the root of why some people seem to attract the right things at the right time, while others remain stuck no matter how hard they try. The answer isn't strategy. It isn't hustle. It's the quality and direction of your habitual thought, aligned with the will power that Yogananda called the dynamo of all human achievement.

When you understand how thought and divine will actually work together, success stops being something you chase — and becomes something you embody.

This is ancient wisdom that your soul already recognises. It's time to live it.
