Call her new book a block-buster.
In “You Have the Magic,” NYC-based influencer and manifestation coach Haley Hoffman Smith reveals the five questions to ask yourself to identify and break free of mental barriers limiting your success.
Hoffman Smith — who rose to fame on social media with her spiritual self-help videos and peeks into her luxury lifestyle — said she developed the Subconscious Breakthrough Formula through personal discovery she achieved in EFT tapping sessions.

EFT involves tapping on specific acupressure points with your fingertips while focusing on a particular issue or emotion and repeating affirming phrases.
“It’s quite simple,” Hoffman Smith, 28, told The Post. “If you don’t yet have something you want or it’s perpetually blocked, ask yourself these questions to work with the subconscious mind, and then you know exactly what to tap on and release.”

The evolution of the five questions
Hoffman Smith tested variations of the questions by herself and within her Dreamaway Membership, a program that promises “deep subconscious rewiring, magnetic breakthroughs and daily energetic support” for $250 a month.
These five core queries deliver clarity, catharsis and “delicious aha moments” in all aspects of life, including love, money and creativity, she said.

“I think we’re used to asking ourselves, ‘Why isn’t this happening for me?’ or ‘Why is this so blocked despite my best conscious effort?’ to which the answer is usually, ‘I have no darn idea!'” Hoffman Smith said.
“The nature of subconscious breakthrough questions is they’re asked in a way we don’t expect, so it yields answers that have been eluding us.”

The five questions are:
What bad thing happens if this goal comes to fruition?
What do you believe you need to give up that you currently like about your life in order to bring this in?
Why does it make sense mentally that this is blocked for you? What is the evidence that you have for why this should be difficult or impossible?
What is an example of a time in the past when you also felt this way?
How would a new belief — or getting what you really want — be a mismatch for your identity and self-concept?
Tips for successfully using the formula
Hoffman Smith asks herself these questions “quite frequently” when she seems blocked.
She recommends doing the same if you notice yourself “continuously bumping up against the same pattern” or “experiencing an invisible forcefield around something” you’d like to do.

The key is to find a space where you can go deep without distractions. Self-compassion and playful curiosity are important.
“I find that in early morning hours or late at night, I am most likely to have a big breakthrough because I’m in a lower brainwave state, so the subconscious mind is a bit more accessible,” Hoffman Smith said.

How to tell if it’s working
It’s crucial to trace a situation to its root or understand why the subconscious is experiencing fear and resistance, Hoffman Smith said.
EFT tapping helps bring relief.
“It’s highly encouraged to do some EFT tapping to clear the resistance and fear — and you’ll know that’s worked when you feel the actual shift in your body,” Hoffman Smith said.
“Fears dim, emotions release, stickiness melts, tightness loosens,” she added, “and new perspectives and hope easily pour in.”

If that doesn’t work, go deeper with the questions.
For example, you could ask yourself, “What bad thing happens if I get subconscious clarity here?” and see if there’s any resistance.
“However, in my several years of doing this work with thousands of people, these questions have always consistently yielded ‘aha’ moments,” Hoffman Smith said.
If you have significant trauma or suspect that subconscious investigation might bring triggering reflections, she recommends working with a licensed mental health provider.
“This is an explorative process, and the answers it yields can lead to gleeful epiphany or some deeper emotions,” she said.
