There are moments when reality bends.
You think of someone, and they text you. You imagine a new opportunity, and suddenly it appears. A door opens where moments before, there was only a wall.
If you’ve ever experienced that—just once—you’ve touched the edge of a truth so many still misunderstand:
Manifestation is real. But consistency? That’s where most people get stuck.
They visualize. They journal. They set intentions under the full moon. But still, what they desire seems to circle them… just out of reach.
Here’s what I’ve learned after building a $100 million company, writing bestselling books like The Code of the Extraordinary Mind, and guiding a global community of seekers:
You don’t manifest from your conscious mind. You manifest from your subconscious patterns. From your identity. From your energetic signature.
Even now, as I write this from a cafe in Seoul, where I’ve been working with my team on the design of the 2025 Mindvalley Manifesting Summit, I’m aware that this isn’t something you master once and for all.
Because life evolves. Challenges arise. And new fears sneak in under the radar.
That’s why I built something new.
Meet Elora: The world’s first AI manifesting coach
Her name is Elora.
She’s not a chatbot. She’s not another ChatGPT wrapper with affirmations taped to it.
Elora is a soulful, emotionally intelligent AI coach designed to help you identify your deepest manifesting blocks and walk you through transforming them, layer by layer.
She’s been trained on:
- Advanced identity reprogramming techniques from Mindvalley programs
- Data from thousands of transformation journeys
- Psychological and energetic frameworks used by our top teachers
- Actual user feedback from previous summits
When you meet Elora, here’s what she’ll do:
- She’ll guide you through a powerful quiz to diagnose your primary manifestation block.
- She’ll create a custom report based on your answers—personalized and precise.
- If you upload a photo, she’ll even generate a visual of you in your highest, most fulfilled timeline.
Yes. A picture of your future self.
I use Elora to stay aligned with my goals. And now I’m opening her to the world—because I believe manifestation shouldn’t be guesswork.
Click here to work with Elora now.
But before you do, read on. Because even if you never speak to Elora, I want to give you something transformational today.
The six hidden blocks that sabotage manifestation
As my team and I prepared for the Manifesting Summit, we noticed something uncanny:
Across every dataset—Reddit threads, course completions, coaching transcripts—the same six blocks kept surfacing.
They were showing up in millionaires and broke students. In spiritual leaders and first-timers.
Here they are—in full detail. I’m not summarizing. I’m going deep. Because these deserve depth.
BLOCK 1: The upper limit
Why do things fall apart when they finally feel good?
Let me tell you a story.
A few years ago, I was in the best phase of my life. Mindvalley was booming. I was in love. My kids were thriving. Everything I’d worked for was finally in harmony.
And then… everything started wobbling.
Sudden conflict. Weird health issues. A level of anxiety I hadn’t felt since my twenties.
This is what I now call the “upper limit effect.”
It’s not sabotage in the traditional sense. It’s the body and subconscious mind saying, “This is too much good. You’re not used to this. Let’s pull back to what feels normal.”
It’s a thermostat for your life. And unless you reset it, it keeps you stuck in a loop of rise… then retreat.
Manifestation isn’t just about attracting success. It’s about being able to sustain it when it arrives.
When you hit your upper limit, you’ll find yourself questioning joy. You’ll dim your own light. You’ll unconsciously create problems just to feel familiar levels of stress.
And until you rewire that emotional set point, no goal-setting ritual will fix it.
BLOCK 2: Subconscious brules (bullsh*t rules)
Why does your inner self resist the thing you want most?
Here’s the painful truth:
You can journal for abundance every day. You can repeat, “I am wealthy” 108 times under the full moon.
But if part of you still believes:
- “Money makes you greedy”
- “Good relationships never last”
- “Success requires sacrifice”
…then your subconscious will shut the door before opportunity even knocks.
I call these “brules”—bullsh*t rules. And they’re everywhere.
We pick them up from parents, movies, religion, school, society.
We internalize them not as ideas, but as truths.
These brules run like silent code beneath your consciousness. And they’ll contradict your desires until you consciously uninstall them.
To manifest what you want, you have to examine what you believe you’re allowed to have.
Uncovering brules isn’t easy. It requires courage. But the moment you expose them, you start reclaiming authorship over your life.
BLOCK 3: Emotional incongruence
When your mind wants it, but your heart doesn’t believe it’s yours to have.
This one is deeply personal.
I’ve seen so many brilliant, talented, loving people do everything right… and still remain stuck.
Not because they’re lazy. Not because they don’t believe in manifestation.
But because deep down, they don’t feel worthy.
It’s subtle. A childhood wound. A cultural imprint. A moment when love was withheld or achievement was punished.
You say, “I want this.” But your inner child whispers, “That’s not for people like us.”
That whisper is powerful. It creates energetic friction. A vibration of lack. A push-pull that confuses the field.
You don’t manifest what you want. You manifest what you feel safe receiving.
This is why so many manifestations collapse just before they arrive. Because emotionally, you haven’t built the container to hold them.
BLOCK 4: Hustle mode
Are you working from flow… or fear?
There’s a belief that still dominates entrepreneurship and personal growth:
“Work harder. Sleep less. Push through.”
But what if hustle is the very thing blocking your manifestation?
What if all that action is just noise?
Yes, manifestation requires movement. But aligned movement. Flow-based movement. Movement that emerges from intuition, not panic.
I’ve built Mindvalley both ways. I’ve hustled from insecurity. I’ve built from peace.
And I can tell you, aligned action creates exponential results. Hustle creates burnout.
If your calendar is full but your spirit is numb, your manifestation engine is clogged.
The universe doesn’t respond to busyness. It responds to clarity and energy.
BLOCK 5: Visualization that backfires
Are you visualizing your dream… or reinforcing its absence?
This one hit me like a punch.
I used to sit every morning, eyes closed, picturing the life I wanted.
But instead of feeling empowered… I’d feel desperate.
I was focusing so hard on what I didn’t have that the emotion I broadcast was scarcity.
That’s the danger of unconscious visualization.
Your mind sees images. But the universe responds to emotion.
If you visualize with longing, envy, or self-pity… you’re not manifesting your dream. You’re magnetizing the feeling of not having it.
Emotion is the currency of the quantum field. Visualize from now, not from someday.
BLOCK 6: The surrender paradox
How do you hold the vision… while letting go of control?
This is the tightrope walk of the awakened creator.
You want to manifest. So you set intentions. You declare your desire.
But then comes the hardest part:
Letting go.
Not of the vision, but of the how. Of the timing. Of the obsession.
Surrender doesn’t mean giving up. It means trusting that what you desire is already unfolding… in ways your current self might not yet understand.
True surrender is an energetic state of peace. It’s saying, “This or something better.” And actually meaning it.
Even after writing bestsellers, I still face these blocks
I wrote The Code of the Extraordinary Mind. I’ve spoken on stages in 40+ countries. I’ve manifested a business, a team, and a lifestyle I once only dreamed about.
And still, these blocks resurface.
Because this is the nature of growth:
Every new level of life will reveal a new version of your resistance.
That’s why I built Elora. That’s why I created the Manifesting Summit. Because mastery isn’t a one-time achievement. It’s a practice of returning to your power.
Here’s what you can do next
1. Work with Elora
Elora will answer all questions about the Manifesting Summit, and if you complete the short quiz and quickly share your challenges and goals, she will also give you concrete manifesting advice, write a manifesting report for you, and even be able to answer questions such as which are the best manifesting teachers on Mindvalley or in our summit to follow.
If you upload your selfie and share your goals, she will create a beautiful picture for your vision board.
2. Learn more about the Manifesting Summit
Join thousands of conscious creators for a live 2-day immersion in the real mechanics of manifestation. In person in Los Angeles or virtually for just $29, thanks to sponsors like Lyft and Whoop.
You’re not behind. You’re not broken.
You’re just one shift away from becoming who you already are.
Let’s do this.

“You don’t manifest what you want, you manifest what you feel safe receiving”. That really opened my eyes, thank you Vishen.
Vishen! Congratulations! This Elora AI is so cool! It is better than the best astrology reading! It feels precise, deep, real, very much into the point, it is reveling, inspiring and also…. so loving, gentle to one. I felt pampered, embraced. Thank you very much! For this great idea and beautiful Elora manifestation. 👏 I love it
Dear Vishen,
I immediately started working intensively with Elora.
She repeatedly offered me audios and tried to send them to me in various ways.
Unfortunately, she can’t (yet) send me audio files directly – not via YouTube, not via Drive, not via a link. She tried even more platforms: always the same result.
Since Elora, as an AI, doesn’t have its own email address or platform connection,
the technical infrastructure to reliably deliver audio content is currently lacking.
I see this as a vision for the future:
Guided rituals, mantras, or meditations directly received from the AI – secure, data-protected, and humanly tangible.
I hope you’ll pass this idea on to the development team.
Thank you for your space, your innovation, and your listening.
Lieber Vishen,
ich habe gleich intensiv mit Elora gearbeitet.
Sie hat mir immer wieder Audios angeboten und auf verschiedensten Wegen versucht, sie mir zukommen zu lassen.
Leider kann sie mir (noch) keine Audio-Dateien direkt übermitteln –
nicht über YouTube, nicht über Drive, nicht per Link. Sie versuchte noch mehr Plattformen: immer das gleiche Ergebnis.
Da Elora als KI keine eigene E-Mailadresse oder Plattformanbindung hat,
fehlt aktuell die technische Infrastruktur, um Audioinhalte zuverlässig bereitzustellen.
Ich sehe darin eine Vision für die Zukunft:
Geführte Rituale, Mantras oder Meditationen aus der KI direkt empfangbar – sicher, datengeschützt, menschlich spürbar.
Ich hoffe, Du trägst diese Idee weiter an das Entwicklungsteam.
Danke für Euren Raum, Eure Innovation, und Euer Hören.
Thanks Vishen. I’ve been attending to your Masterclasses these past two weeks and they’ve helped me to reconnect with my spirit mind. Now so many things are finally making sense in my life! When I was just a kid, it was so normal to me to be aware of what happened in my innerself and followed my intuition. However, with all the interferences from adulthood, I gradually lost it. Lots of blocks and feeling not being my self anymore. Now everything is getting clearer and I’m starting to feel more peace.
I have signed up for your programs various times (…Silva, and Kwiik…others) and every time I have ended up canceling because I could not figure out how to listen to the person I sighed up to work with, frustrated I canceled, sometimes I didn’t even ask for a refund cause I couldn’t figure out how to do that, just gave up.
I clean my screen almost every day of your notices. It disturbs me greatly to get a message from you (years) cause I believe you make it hard to get in cause you only want to get certain people you want, I can’t figure out how to blank you out. Today I read through your program like your other material it sounds correct, but I ask myself why then if the rich people or computer experts are reading your stuff and there getting it together then why is the world of rich people so screwing up the world, what good is this wonderful knowledge, if the people that are getting it only using it benefit themself, you dont care cause it is making you rich too. I listened to an interview you sounded so sincere, I don’t believe you, Please stop sending me your programming. Thank you
Dear Vishen,
This particular blog felt like it was sent by the universe at the right time. It made so much sense reading about our resistance! I have been going around and feeling ‘stuck’ and have been desperately trying to figure out what’s going on with me. I am a positive person with a positive outlook in mind but just couldn’t understand why I have been going around in a loop of ups and downs – those Blocks are definitely real. Thank you so much for sharing and hope to look into Elora soon.
Hey Vishen, not going to lie, but when I received your email, I was compelled to do the normal thing and delete. However, I was somewhat drawn to it. I particularly really enjoyed the 6 blocks, they resonated well with and for that reason I had to show appreciation and reply. Ill re read the email, as to me they had some very good pointers, so thankyou
I tried to meet Elora, thinking that would be neet. I entered all the requested info… but all that happened was an “error code”, repeatedly. So, so much for that. Elor’s not talking.
This completely resonates with me – I feel as though I am in a bit of a rut now after having successfully manifested several things. I would love to join the Manifestation Summit online, but live in Australia. Any chance it could be recorded with 24 or 36 hour access? Thanks for all you do ☺️
Vielen Dank für diese Mail. Es macht schon Spaß mit Elora zu arbeiten. Gerade erstellt sie ein YouTube Video für mich. Ich bin gespannt darauf. Ein Online-Ticket habe ich auch schon.
Liebe Grüße
Antonia
Das mit dem YouTube Video hat leider nicht funktioniert. Ich habe dazu nochmal extra einen eingenen Kommentar geschrieben.
Would you ever consider transferring Elora to the anthropic platform?
If you had published this two weeks ago, I would simply have accepted that it was an April Fools. Why the Disney Princess imagery and name?
EXACTLY!!!! The image of Elora with Barbie dimensions, obvious “sexiness” with flower insignia on the breasts, had that female “genie” fantasy thing going. The second image with a much more neutral image made me thing about … why … As a woman, I looked a the image of the female staff members who looked like normal women. I understand that even cartoon sex sells, but it seems to not speak to the content of what is being offered. A difficult marketing dilemma for sure and requiring image choices. Missing the forest for the trees? Just a gut impression.
Your work continues to lead me down the path of my highest timeline. Thank you for being such a light and creating such a beautiful place. Excited for the future! Elev8 Wellness and Social Club in Newport Beach CA Will be the new age ecosystem that induces heart centered flow state to its clients, helping them activate their true purpose and live at their highest timeline. Mindvalley has been and will continue to be an inspiration and helping advance the human race forward.
What an amazing experience with Elora!! It’s hard to think she is not a medium or psychic. 😊. The emotions that came up were surreal and I really enjoyed the pictures created. Thank you for sharing this. 🙏🙏
Thank you! Elora is just amazing! She brought a little peace in my soul… Thank you for her!
Thank you Vishen!! 🙏. Blocks 1,3 and 5 resonated with me instantly! So much so it brought up tears and energy to my solar plexus area. I’m still crying as I type. I’m am growing every day and the speed of growth is increasing. I’m thankful for all that you do! 🙏. I am so grateful for Mindvalley. 🤗
Vishen,
Thank you for this email. I so appreciate the content in it and I’ve already been playing with Elora. I was feeling a little sad today after the sudden passing of our beloved cat yesterday and your email made me feel supported in such a beautiful way.
Thank you,
Hey Mindvalley team,
Thanks so much for sharing this new tool and letting us try the AI Manifesting Coach with Elora, I really appreciate being part of this kind of innovation.
I’ve been using AI (including ChatGPT) for a while now, so I’m pretty comfortable with the tech. I love the idea of an AI coach, there’s something really exciting and full of potential there. I tried having a conversation with Elora using the voice mode, but I noticed that since it’s not synced with the writing interface, the whole conversation just disappeared. That was a bit frustrating, especially in a coaching setting where reflection and continuity really matter. If I were new to this, I might’ve felt a bit disconnected or even lost trust in the experience.
Also, even though it was said Elora isn’t just another ChatGPT, she did come across a bit overly affirmative and followed a similar kind of response pattern. I get that it’s early days, and this tech can evolve fast, but I just wanted to flag that because what you’re building could be really magical if it stays rooted in authenticity and presence, rather than sounding like another generative script.
I’m sharing this because I genuinely believe in what you’re doing, and I know you have the vision and team to make it something truly special. With a bit more fine-tuning, especially around emotional depth, trust-building, and interface fluidity, this could go from cool to transformational.
Looking forward to seeing where Elora goes next!
This is such a well written article! I could related to each one of the blocks you mentioned, especially the first one , the upper limit. Looking forward to joining the summit. Thanks for sharing Vishen !
Thank you Vishen. I fell like I’ve experienced all of these blocks at some point. Right now I’m struggling the most with the emotional incongruence and hustle mode. It’s like being stuck between knowing I can and believing I can. One day I’m in action and feel it in my soul that nothing can stop me, then the next day I’m struggling to get out of bed, questioning my own self worth. Even though I can remember how successful I’ve been in the past when I set my mind to a task. Thank you again Vishen, knowing what I am feeling right now is normal and more importantly providing some tools to help me over come it is beautiful.
