Your Trauma is Affecting Your Manifestations

Trauma can be a tough topic to approach, but it’s one we must face when it comes to learning how to truly tap into the power of manifestation. If no matter how hard you try, you just can’t seem to break past patterns and create the change in your life that you desire, oftentimes there is trauma affecting manifestations.


You might think that trauma is a life experience that leads to devastating consequences and this absolutely and sadly can be the case for many. However, trauma can also be something more subtle and buried within our subconscious. In fact, many of us go through a number of traumas from childhood to adulthood. These build up and are what lead to self-doubt, an inability to break negative patterns, self-sabotaging habits and coping mechanisms. 


Groundbreaking studies have even shown that over 70% of us have been through at least one traumatic event as a child. This could be a comment a kid at school or teacher made to you or hearing your parents argue about money. As children, we’re incredibly susepcitible to what we see, hear and experience and although that comment a boy in your class made about you being fat or stupid now seems insignificant as an adult, it will have resided in your subconscious and created a negative belief you might then have grown up with into adulthood. 


How Trauma Impacts Manifestation


When it comes to manifestation, we must be able to identify and work through these traumas as manifestation has to come from a place of acceptance, love, empowerment and expansion. No matter how much you tell yourself you are worthy, if you don’t truly believe and
feel that on a subconscious level, your ability to manifest will be impacted. Or, you’ll end up manifesting more of what you’re already getting as the law of attraction is always at work. 


It is also true that trauma negatively impacts the body on a cellular, physical level. Unresolved trauma can cause disease, poor wellbeing and plays out in our life in some way on all levels - our money, our relationships and our careers. When we go through a traumatic event, it creates an actual physical chemical reaction and one that the body then records. The trauma plays over and over - sometimes without us even realizing, but is at the root of our negative beliefs and actions. As I always say, we either work things out or act things out. This is also partly because the trauma can impact our nervous system so that we’re in a constant state of fight or flight and stuck in survival mode. When we’re making choices from this place, they will be reactive and behaviours we turn to by default. 


This is why in relationships for example, you’ll find that some people always seem to attract and be attracted to others who treat them badly time after time. It’s a pattern that just can’t seem to be broken until the person takes a step back to look at why this is happening and takes the necessary steps to heal. 


How to Move Through Trauma 


To manifest what we want, we have to firstly prioritize our mental health. Having mental health awareness will help us to understand that if we’re constantly in a cycle of debt or poor relationship choices, there’s a reason for this. 


Manifesting is all about an ability to be aware of our emotions and to then be the master of them. Our thoughts are created as a result of our feelings so we have to
feel good - or at least from a place of neutrality and self-acceptance on a cellular level, to harness the power of manifestation and create true wealth - a profound sense of freedom in every area of our life. 


This is why it’s important to have tools to be able to identify and work through any trauma. These can include counselling, therapy or working with a credible professional. Having a safe space to talk about how you’re feeling can be incredibly effective for figuring out when the trauma might have happened and to resolve the emotions around it. 


Other modalities I recommend include Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT or Tapping), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and even journaling. I also have a huge number of videos on my
YouTube Channel with fantastic experts that can help you on your healing journey. 


It Isn’t About Becoming Perfect


To heal starts with having self-compassion and knowing that none of us are a perfect product! As we evolve and life goes on, there will still be traumas that continue to affect us. But by understanding how the mind and body work and how they respond to trauma, and cultivating a strong sense of mental health awareness, this means that we’re far better equipped to deal with those experiences. Our traumas become an
experience rather than who we are. They no longer define us or our actions. 


Our patterns, money habits, relationships, health and how we approach life provide strong clues as to where the work needs to be done. Once we do the work to unpick these and understand why we do the things we do, that is where manifestation can really take place. As we’re learning to become the master of our emotions, past trauma affecting manifestation no longer becomes a barrier.


Trauma can be a tough one to accept and work through but when you do, I assure you that it will take your manifestation to the next level. True manifesting isn’t so much about getting ‘stuff’, it’s about creating a sense of safety, love and empowerment within ourselves and to be able to go after what we want with clarity, expansion and a true feeling of self-worth. The things that come as a result of that are then like the icing on the cake!

Reset Your Money Energy for 2026 Every December, we all feel that pull, the desire to “be better with money next year.” But here’s the secret I’ve seen again and again after nearly three decades of walking alongside people from all walks of life: Financially wealthy people don’t just plan their next year — they energetically complete the one they’re leaving. They close loops. They clear emotional residue. They realign their energy field before they set a single goal. And you can absolutely do the same. As I share in The Emotion Behind Money , wealth is never created by logic alone. It comes from managing the emotions behind your money and understanding that money itself is energy. And in Awaken Your Wealth , I remind readers that energetic shifts begin when you consciously picture yourself stepping into a new reality, while compassionately acknowledging the one you’re standing in now. So let’s walk through the simple year-end process I teach my clients — one that spiritually, emotionally, and financially resets your money field for a powerful 2026. 1. Review Your 2025 Wins & Losses With Compassion Before you step into the new year, look back with the most loving, nonjudgmental eyes possible. I call it neutral observation . Wealthy people don’t spiral into shame when something didn’t go perfectly. They get curious. Ask yourself: Where did I expand financially this year? Where did I contract emotionally or economically? What choices were truly aligned with my values? Which ones came from fear, scarcity, or old patterns? In Awaken Your Wealth , the “Accepting Reality and Awakening” step of PACT teaches that awareness without judgment is how we break old money patterns for good. So breathe. Notice. Write it down. No shame. No spiral. Just truth. 2. Forgive Any Money Mistakes Here’s a truth most people never consider: Every financial mistake carries emotional weight and emotional weight blocks money flow. From my work in The 4 Spiritual Laws of Money , we know that your heart’s energy is more powerful than your brain’s logic, and intention is what redirects energy back into alignment. Forgiveness, of yourself, your past self, or others involved, releases stagnant money energy. Try this: Write down any money decisions from 2025 that still feel heavy. Place your hand on your heart. Say: "I forgive the version of me who made this choice. She/he did the best they could with what they knew at the time.” Forgiveness isn’t about letting mistakes slide. It’s about resetting your emotional money field so you can co-create something new. 3. Create an Energetic Closing Ceremony for the Year This is where wealthy people truly separate themselves; they honor the transition. You can create your own year-end ceremony using whatever resonates from your spiritual toolkit. Here are a few ideas inspired by the intention-setting and clearing practices throughout my work: Light a candle Symbolize releasing the old year and calling in the new. Write a “completion list” Include everything you’re ready to release: debts you’re no longer carrying shame over, relationships you’re energetically cutting cords from, patterns you’re finished reenacting. Burn or bury the list This physical act tells the Universe: “I’m done living from this version of myself.” In The Emotion Behind Money , we explore how inherited beliefs and emotional patterns repeat until they are consciously released. This ceremony is your line in the sand. End with intention Close with one powerful intention for 2026, aligned from your heart: “I choose a new flow of abundance.” “I trust that money comes to me with ease.” “I allow myself to receive the wealth I’ve been working toward.” As The 4 Spiritual Laws of Money reminds us: “The Universe responds to action.” Your ceremony is your spiritual action. Ready to Step Into 2026 Aligned, Clear & Empowered? If you’re craving deeper support with your financial reset, join me for my Emotions Behind Money Workshop in January. If you’ve been feeling the nudge to recalibrate your relationship with money, this is your moment. Let’s make 2026 the year your inner wealth and your financial reality finally match. You deserve abundance and you’re closer than you think. With love, alignment & a whole lot of possibility, Julie ✨
