If you want to drive forward, and a tree is in your way, preventing your forward acceleration (which is the desire), you can overcome that resistance in a couple different ways: you can 1) remove the tree barring your way (this is akin to removing limiting beliefs), you can 2) stop trying to drive forward (this is like releasing the desire, which will cancel resistance or vibrational contradiction or you can 3) increase desire to maximum amplitude and overpower the resistance (this is like flooring the gas and the tree in your way snapping off under the pressure and you go peeling out down the road).
It sounds like the scenario you described was a case of option 3) your desire overpowered the resistance and allowed you temporary alignment with a higher vibration.
Having experienced all that myself, I can tell you #1 is probably the most effective in creating change within yourself. Since the self, and all of the things that constitute the self usually include all that manifest those obstacles in the first place, it's probably the most effective. Yet it can possibly be the most challenging solution as some beliefs are very hard to release for some individuals.
#2 I've done that a lot, and I would say it has the virtue of showing you what are your real intense core desires and which are simply a temporary fix for not reaching your true desires. Nevertheless there comes a time when this is no longer effective. If you reach that point where you know what you want and you want it more than anything else and you feel like you're ready for taking actions towards that goal, this would be counterproductive. Some desires are very deep rooted and they will comeback no matter how hard you try and release them. That would be like acknowledging you don't have to empty your gas tank forcing against the tree, but hey you still have to get from point A to point B, and motion is required. Those are the kind of desires I think we come here to experience. We come here until we understand how to manifest them, then experience them so we can eventually let them go. But those very stong desires are the ones who can't be let go until we understand them. I think they are the ones driven by a seeking to understand.
#3 I've never been a fan of this approach but I would guess the virtue of such technique is to show you what you are ready to do in order to manifest a certain desire. If you know you would do anything for this desire to manifest, that's probably not necessary but if you just don't understand the extent of your manifesting power, this would be very effective in demonstrating your own power to yourself. If you happen to uproot the tree with brute force and a strong will, chances are you will realize the extent or your power, and it will feel easier to accept the responsability of your desire, getting you closer to the vibration of your desire. But yet some desires can't be forced into manifestation, which will eventually show you the limits of such approach.
Resistance itself is a subject worth writing 10 books about. I've said a while ago I feel like to overcome resistance, resistance itself must be resisted. Resistance itself is naturally part of everything that we do. One of the strongest mechanism of living organism is to save energy. I suppose this is a principle that life developped to overcome entropy. But that to me suggest most of the work that needs to be done about manifesting our desires has to do with responsability. That means in order to stay locked on a high vibration, you must be able to face the responsability of holding to such vibration for a long time. This is what seperate lower vibrations to higher vibrations. An entity who is not ready to channel such power continuously is doomed to experience the ups and downs of trying/failling/trying again/succeeding then fading away/trying again/failling again etc etc without understanding why it happens. This is very similar to the bliss that you can reach when you are on a drug that gives you a very powerful high. Why is it that this feeling of love and bliss disappear if you know you have the possibility of channeling it? Because most people are not ready to face daily interactions with this vibration where they would eventually have to overcome other people's lower ray distortions like fear which is almost impossible without others being willing to do so. It would be way too much of a burden.
