Healing + Human Potential with Alyssa Nobriga

Episode: Stop Using Manifestation Until You Fix This One Body Block
Date: January 27, 2026

Episode Overview

This special episode, a live session from Alyssa Nobriga's 5-day free bootcamp, dives deep into why manifestation often fails and reveals the critical body-based ("somatic") block that must be addressed for true transformation. Alyssa shares practical frameworks blending psychology, somatic nervous system regulation, and manifestation work, and offers both mindset and embodiment tools to help listeners reprogram their subconscious and accelerate their dreams. The session includes a powerful live coaching demonstration with participant Lucy, showing in real time how to identify and transmute the hidden blocks that sabotage progress.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Real Reason Manifestation Isn’t Working

• Addressing the body block: Alyssa explains that many people use manifestation techniques to bypass subconscious and somatic (body-based) blockages, which actually sabotages results instead of supporting them.
• “Most people are using manifestation or affirmations as a way to avoid what they fear. And it's really important to take note of this. Anything that you avoid, you create.” (Alyssa, 23:49)
• To manifest effectively, you must first identify and compassionately work through your deep-seated fears and beliefs, not just cover them up with affirmations.

2. Turning Blocks into Stepping Stones

• Alyssa reframes personal struggles as valuable learning experiences, not sources of shame: “Whatever your life experiences are, those are your resume… Use your life experiences to help you grow and evolve.” (Alyssa, 01:43)
• She emphasizes that life's challenges are the curriculum for growth as a leader, parent, or coach.

3. Somatic Nervous System Integration

• Alyssa introduces her somatic tool, the "Embodiment Rating Scale," part of her coaching certification program, designed to help regulate the nervous system and anchor new beliefs.
• Manifestation is most effective after the nervous system is regulated: “When you do manifestation work after you’ve done some of the clearing out and processing of the challenges and blocks, everything accelerates.” (Alyssa, 27:21)

4. Story: Evidence of Embodiment in Action

• Alyssa shares a personal story from her early days, using a five-minute manifestation process that resulted in months of free rent and even a $10,000 relocation fee (09:38–13:20), illustrating the practical magic that emerges from integrated manifestation:
  • “You have access to more intelligence and resources than you probably utilize… The number one hack for accelerating your manifestation is identity, identity, identity.” (Alyssa, 27:45)

5. Laying the Foundation: The What and the How

• Vision Clarification:
  • Alyssa guides listeners to clarify what they want (the “what”) and, crucially, how they expect to feel (“the how”) if they achieved it.
  • “It’s not getting clear on what you want that hurts… It’s the attachment to thinking you need it that hurts.” (Alyssa, 17:55)
  • Embody the feeling now, not later.

6. Powerful Guided Visualization (19:58–22:30)

• Alyssa leads a process to connect listeners to their desired feelings and visions, fostering present-moment embodiment of future states.
  • “This is conscious goals where we embody what we thought the goal is going to give us then and we start still moving forward, but from a totally different place.” (Alyssa, 19:58)

7. Why Most People Stay Stuck

• Avoidance breeds stuckness: “If you want to feel worthy, it’s through embracing unworthiness; if you want to feel confident, it’s by embracing insecurity. It’s the game of opposites that actually opens.” (Alyssa, 27:19)
• “Acceptance—mentally, emotionally, behaviorally, unconsciously, and somatically—is the foundation of my methodology.” (Alyssa, 33:10)
• Don't skip the inner work: “Most people say time and money are the blocks. That’s surface. Go deeper. Is it fear of failure? Is it unworthiness?” (Alyssa, 32:25)

8. Demonstration: Somatic Coaching With Lucy (38:23–58:35)

Key Segments:

• Lucy's Block Identified: Lucy wants to show up more in her business but is stuck at a “5 out of 10” on the embodiment scale.
• Exploring the Somatic Experience (41:08–49:16):
  • Lucy identifies tightness and fear in her throat and chest related to fear of rejection.
  • Alyssa guides her to simply allow and fully feel the sensation rather than resist or analyze it.
  • “Just bring your awareness into it, notice if it's inside your body or a little bit outside as well.” (Alyssa, 46:18)
• Breakthrough—Insight and Release (49:16–51:21):
  • Lucy notes, “It's softening…when you asked me to open, expand my awareness, it felt like it expanded. That was really cool.” (Lucy, 49:16)
  • She realizes, “I think that I need to wait until the fear goes away, but actually the work is just meeting the fear, allowing the fear, and moving forward with it.” (Lucy, 51:21)
• Alyssa’s Reflection: “Love moves towards everything. And that's why the foundation of my methodology is acceptance.” (Alyssa, 51:36)
• The Water Analogy: “If you have a glass of water with red food dye, that's dense energy. In a pool [expanded awareness], it's diluted.” (Alyssa, 53:34)

9. Group Manifestation Process (55:53–58:14)

• Alyssa leads Lucy through a high-vibe practice: speaking as if her dreams are already fulfilled, activating gratitude and magnetism.
• Alyssa and the group amplify Lucy’s vision, demonstrating how collective focus can energize an individual’s goal.
• “I have a full roster of clients paying me for high ticket mentorship… I feel so full of joy and fulfilled and full of purpose.” (Lucy, 55:53)

10. Encouragement and Summary

• Alyssa closes by affirming that your calling is not just for you—it also serves the world.
• She recommends listeners try the manifestation partner practice with a friend and reminds them, “Your life changes on the other side of these fears. They just are looking to be present, and it opens you to what you deeply desired.” (Alyssa, 62:16)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On why affirmations can backfire:
  “Anything that you avoid, you create.” (23:49)

• On identity and manifestation:
  “The number one hack for accelerating your manifestation is identity, identity, identity.” (27:45)

• On acceptance:
  “The foundation of my methodology is acceptance. Accepting it mentally, emotionally, behaviorally, unconsciously and somatically. That's all it was looking for.” (51:36)

• On practical magic:
  “You have access to more intelligence and resources than you probably utilize.” (13:20)

• Lucy’s realization:
  “Actually the work is just meeting the fear and allowing the fear and moving forward with it… it's probably always going to show up in some capacity. So it's just being able to meet it.” (51:21)

Practical Takeaways & Tools

• Don’t use manifestation as avoidance: Do the inner work—mental, emotional, somatic—so that affirmations and visioning serve to accelerate, not sabotage, your goals.
• Practice daily embodiment: Use the Embodiment Rating Scale or similar somatic tools to locate and process physical sensations tied to your fears or doubts.
• Transform blocks with compassion: Acceptance, not resistance, is your most potent fuel for growth. Relate to your stuck points as patterns, not identities.
• Speak your goals in present tense, with feeling: Use group or partnered practices to amplify your vision.
• Take “surrendered action”: Move forward with high involvement and low attachment; let go of “needing” outcomes.
