I got an email the other day from a student wondering if Liberation Magic could help with limiting beliefs.

In general, people think of limiting beliefs as things we hold to be true (and may or may not be), but that get in our way of moving towards our dreams. And while that’s true, these beliefs are not a bad thing.

A limiting belief almost always starts out as a survival spell.
It was a small act of magic you cast long ago to stay safe.
To protect your heart.
To make sense of a world that didn’t know how to support you.

Maybe you learned to dim your light so you wouldn’t be targeted.
Maybe you stopped asking for what you wanted because disappointment hurt too much.
Maybe you built an identity around being strong, capable, the one who doesn’t need help, because it was the only way to keep things together.

And those choices worked.

They carried you through seasons that would have crushed someone less resourceful.

But magic, like life, is meant to evolve.

Spells expire when the conditions that birthed them change.

That’s when those same protective beliefs start to feel like cages.
Not because they were wrong, but because they’re out of date, crafted by a past version of you who did her absolute best with what she knew.

Real magic, the kind we practice in Liberation Magic, is about bringing your power into now.

It’s not about denying your past or pretending those old strategies didn’t serve you. It’s about honoring them, thanking them, and then choosing differently, with the full force of your divine, conscious, and subconscious selves aligned.

Like a colleague said, “Letting go of an old limiting belief is like getting a no fault divorce from your past self.”

When that happens, something extraordinary shifts.
You stop reacting from habit and start creating from clarity.
You move from “What do I have to do to stay safe?” to “What do I want to create because I’m free?”

That’s the moment magic starts to move through you like current.
You become a living spell.

So, yes, Liberation Magic can help you surrender your limiting beliefs.

But don’t think of them as the enemy, because you’ve done an extraordinary job keeping yourself safe.
​
Now the invitation is to let yourself be free.
​
Courage, truth, and infinite love,
