Manifestation Glossary

Authentic Self

Your unique essence—your inherent desires, dreams, passions, and purpose, shaping how you move through the world. It is who you were at birth, before any conditioning, trauma, or societal programming. The TBM work focuses on removing these layers to reconnect you with this version self on a soul level. This term is often used interchangeably with “Magnetic Self.”

Blocks

Limiting beliefs or patterns of low self-worth that keep you stuck in old habits and prevent you from accessing your manifestations and magnetism.

Bridge Expanders

Expanders who are a step ahead of you but not yet at your ultimate goal, helping to "bridge" the gap between where you are and where you want to be.

Bridge Manifestation

A manifestation that serves as a transition, helping you build subconscious self-worth, bringing you one step closer to your ultimate manifestation.

Core Wound

A deeply-rooted limiting belief formed in childhood that shaped your self-worth. This wound is often tied to themes of unworthiness, scarcity, rejection, or abandonment and healing it is essential to connecting with our larger manifestations.

Deep Imaginings™ (DIs)

Our proprietary audio meditations designed to access the subconscious—the place where our self-worth is projected from—by guiding you into a theta or alpha (hypnotic) state. These self hypnosis tracks reprogram neural pathways, reinforce self-worth, and help you identify areas of your life that are out of alignment. They are the essential tool for "Unblocking."

Deep Imagining™ Library

TBM's archival collection of self hypnosis audios (Deep Imaginings™) designed for daily use, both within and outside of the TBM workshops. These recordings reinforce new neural pathways and clear subconsious blocks to raise your self-worth and put you in alignment with your manifestations.

Dog Paddling

The act of trying to will something into existence out of desperation. This behavior stems from a need for control and a lack of trust (in yourself and the universe) rather than authenticity and trust.

EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapeutic modality that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity.

Ego Dance 

A performative, inauthentic persona or actions adopted to gain approval, love, or acceptance from others.

Envy

The desire for something someone else has–distinct from jealousy. Envy serves as a guide, revealing what you actually want, where you need expansion, and where a shadow aspect of self or humanity may need healing.

FU Fund

A savings account, also known as a "bridge fund", that provides financial security that supports you as your pursue an aligned, authentic path.

Fight or Flight 

The body's stress response that is triggered when the brain perceives danger, activating the sympathetic nervous system. This state of being can cause increased blood pressure, shallow breathing, or the release of stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. Even mild stress in this state can impair emotional regulation. Manifestation blocks often stem from these triggered responses.

Flow

The state of living in alignment with your authentic essence, where manifestations come with ease, life feels effortless, and you naturally attract what is meant for you. It’s a magnetic state where success unfolds in your unique way.

Fragment Expanders™

Individuals who embody an aspect(s) of what you’re manifesting rather than the full picture. Since everyone’s path is unique, most Expanders will reflect certain peices of your desires rather than the entirety.

Integrated / Integrate / Integration

The process of recognizing, healing, and reclaiming denied aspects of self or humanity by releasing them from pain, shame, and societal conditioning. The TBM work guides you in this process, which raises your level of self-worth and puts you in alignment with your manifestations.

Jealousy

The fear of losing something you already have–distinct from Envy. Jealousy often signals an unmet childhood need, inviting you to heal by providing that need for yourself rather than projecting it onto another person.

Jumping Off a Cliff

The ultimate leap of faith, signaling a deep spiritual trust in yourself and the universe. This step that indicates a refusal to settle for what is no longer aligned and an inner knowing something better is coming. This step should only be taken when you are deeply expanded, unblocked, and consistently taking aligned action.

Magic Dark

The "in-between" phase, after you've been working the TBM process, but before your manifestation has appeared. When nothing is showing up, and you may feel tempted to revert to old habits or low self-worth behaviors. This is ultimately a final testing period that is teaching you to self validate rather than lean on the external world (and your manifestation) to validate your worthiness.

Magnetic Self

Your true essence—the part of you that existed before pain, shame, or programming. It embodies groundedness, authenticity, compassion, connection, freedom, and openness. You can tap into this state at anytime, but it requires emotional regulation. This term is often used interchangeably with “Authentic Self.”

Major Manifestations

A life-changing desire that is fully attainable within the next 6-12 months through dedicated Neural Manifestation work.

Manifestation Blindspots

The unconscious blocks and patterns that sabotage your manifestations without your awareness. Identifying them is key to connecting with your manifestations.

Mini Manifestations

Small, more material manifestations that help you build trust in your ability to co-create with the universe and truly manifest. If you're new to TBM, we recommend you start with these to show your subconsious that this work works.

Mirrors

The concept that the people in your life are simply reflections of your own subconscious self-worth. Viewing others as mirrors enhances self-awareness, reveals areas for growth. and inspires accountability for your own blocks.

Myelination

Myelination is the process of coating neural pathways with a fatty substance called myelin that speeds transmission along neurons. This activity improves the efficiency of neural processes and can be supported with as little as a 10-minute DI because this transformation relies on repetition.

Neural Audio

Neural Audios, also known as Deep Imaginings™ (DIs), are TBM's proprietary hypnosis exercises that guide you into a theta or alpha state, allowing access to the deep subconscious—the place where manifestation occurs.

Neural Manifestation™

Neural Manifestation™ is TBM’s unique manifestation process, rooted in neuroscience, psychology, epigenetics, and energetics. It focuses on raising subconscious self-worth and embracing your unique authenticity to align with your desires.

Neural Pathways

Networks of nerve cells that transmit electrical impulses throughout the brain and body, shaping cognition and manifestation patterns.

Neural Reprogramming Audio 

Our Deep Imaginings™ or self-hypnosis audio recordings designed to access the subconscious and reprogram neural pathways formed in childhood.

Neurogenesis 

The growth of new neural cells in the brain's memory centers that create new connections and pathways as memories form.

Next Level

The phase of manifestation where you're in flow, manifestations are coming through, and you've been unblocking, but you're ready to elevate further. You may have a desire in mind but don’t yet feel fully deserving or still need clarity on what specifically needs to be upleveled.

Physical Plane

The tangible, physical world we live in, where we experience reality through our bodies and meet our own physical needs. Distinct from both the energetic plane and the subconscious plane.

Pings (Intuition)

Hits of intuition that direct you toward specific actions, places, or decisions. These deep knowings always guide you back to your most authentic self.

Prefrontal Cortex 

The part of the brain responsible for executive functions like memory, attention, planning, problem-solving, and emotional regulation.

Reality Expanders™

Someone who provides a "reality check," helping you realize that what you thought you wanted may not actually be in alignment for you.

Reinforcing 

The process of strengthening new neural pathways and beliefs that align with your highest, most authentic self. Through repetition and emotional intensity, this process creates lasting shifts in your level of self-worth.

Rest & Digest 

A parasympathetic nervous system response that restores balance in the mind and body by lowering blood pressure, aiding digestion, and increasing blood flow to organs.

Rockbottom

A deep, transformative phase in manifestation where you "hit bottom," and everything seems to fall apart. Often appearing in the form of a breakup, divorce, firing, or public shaming, this period of time forces you to release old patterns and rebuild from a place of higher self-worth.

Root Belief

A deeply ingrained belief formed in childhood that shapes your self-worth and often revolves around themes of unworthiness, scarcity, rejection, or abandonment.

Rut

A phase of manifestation indicated by feelings of stagnation or "stuckness"– signaling the need for a shift in perspective or action to create movement.

Shadow

The parts of yourself or humanity that you deem as unlovable due to pain, shame, or conditioning. These disowned parts contribute to low subconsious self-worth.

Situational Magnetism (aka Instant Magnetism)

An instantaneous boost of magnetism that often occurs after stepping through fear. This phenomenon strengthens your trust muscle in the manifestation practice.

Staying Grounded

The ability or practice of remaining fully present in your body with a calm nervous system, achieved through practices like oneness with nature, meditation, and movement.

Subconscious Reprogramming

The process of rewiring the subconscious mind through neuroplasticity by entering a theta state and replacing old limiting beliefs with new, empowering ones.

Synaptic Connection

The process of linking neurons through synapses that transmit chemical and electrical signals, strengthening neural pathways and enabling the overwriting of old beliefs.

Taking Inventory

The practice of assessing the people, roles, and dynamics in your life with radical honesty to determine whether they support your magnetism or stifle it.

Tests

Opportunities, situations, triggers, or relationships that challenge you–to either settle for less than you deserve or break free from old low self-worth patterns.

The Trifecta

The three essential steps of TBM's neural manifestation formula–Expanding, Unblocking, and Taking Aligned Action. These steps must be happening simetaneously in order to successfully manifest.

Trigger

Emotional reactions that reveal underlying subconscious blocks, highlighting areas that need healing and integration.

Unblocked™

A state of openness, authenticity, and firm boundaries–where limiting beliefs have been reprogrammed and manifestations are in alignment.

Uplevel

A phase of manifestation in which your nervous system is recalibrating to a "new normal", a higher level of worthiness, often occuring after a signficant unblocking or after a major manifestation has come through.

Vision Holder

A unique type of Expander who sees your potential even before you do, reflecting back what is possible for you.
