Sit by a fire and let the flames show you how things change, how disintegration leads to something new. So is it. With all that you are going through don’t forget to remain hopeful for what is to come in the near future and to remain grateful for all that you have now. Every day there is always something to be grateful for and there is always something to hope for. Keep these two words in your mind, in a positive way: hopeful and grateful. Ask yourself every day, what am I hopeful about today, and what am I grateful for today? Focusing on these positive words will fill you with hope and gratitude just as the water fills the ocean.
Endeavor to keep your head always above the fray, away from the negative energy that abounds. Keep your head filled with positive vibration by humming beautiful music and singing positive affirmations to yourself. Keep your body healthy in every way that you can, for your body is your vehicle through life and it will not fail you if you do not fail it. Oftentimes, it is very human to use the body to soothe and temper that which comes from outside. Far better to up-tune the body with movement, vibration and positivity in any way that appeals to you.
The chakras are the seven energy centers in the human form that ascend from the root to the crown of the physical body. Each energy center radiates vibrationally at an increasingly higher frequency, from the sacrum, the lowest and densest vibration, to the crown, the highest and lightest vibration at the top of the head. Each of these energy centers contribute to the enhancement of suggestions presented to the subconscious mind. Here are their core qualities in ascending order:
Sacrum: Security
Genitals: Sensuality
Solar Plexus: Power
Heart: Love
Throat: Expression
Pineal Gland: Intuition
Crown: Infinity
We live in all these dimensions simultaneously, though we may usually emphasize only one or two main energy centers. For instance, if we are largely preoccupied with concern about, or fear of, survival, we live primarily in the first chakra, the densest energy center, akin to the solidness of life in a physical body.
If we are obsessed with physical survival, which translates to negative suggestions to our subconscious mind, we will manifest physical conditions of lack, and perhaps ill health, in keeping with our mental and emotional preoccupation of mind.
The major teaching here is that we manifest what we think, positive or negative. Practical wisdom instructs us to emphasize the positive so that we manifest calmness and confidence, and so that we attract physical safety and abundance into our lives.
If our thoughts state that we want safety and abundance, but we don’t really believe it possible for us, the suggestion we are really delivering to the subconscious mind is to manifest these negative suggestions. Always better to focus on the positive outcome that you seek rather than even reference the condition that you don’t want.
For example, “I intend good health and wealth” versus “I no longer worry about health and finances.” The phrase, “no longer worry” puts emphasis upon a negative state of worry, whereas the phrase “intend good health and wealth” is completely clear and positive, creating no confusion for the subconscious mind. Positive suggestions only. Good health and wealth also tap into the sensuous desire and needs of the second chakra.
Stating a suggestion is an exercise of personal power—the third chakra. If we allow the mesmeric whine of negative thinking to dominate our suggestions we spend our personal power generating ambivalence and powerlessness, the self-defeat that negativity calls forth. Let suggestions be constructed toward positive creation versus cessation of negative thinking.
Do not enter into battle with negativity; to do so is to flood the subconscious mind with negative suggestions. Allow negative thoughts to exist; simply don’t play to them or give them permission to be authors in the story of your life. As the wisdom of the I Ching suggests, the best way to combat evil is to make energetic progress in the good, or as Christ would suggest, raise your vibration to love of versus hate for your enemy.
This is also the essence of the Buddhist suggestion of detachment. Let all thoughts live, but exercise your free will to give attention to positive outcomes only. The less we emphasize negative thoughts the less they are attracted to us. Let them go elsewhere to be lived, but offer them the suggestion that they too can evolve into grander stories.
Engaging the heart chakra in a suggestion imbues it with the highly radiant energy of truth, love, wisdom and compassion. Thus, for example, I might add to my previous positive suggestion, “With deep gratitude for all the gifts I am given, I intend good health and wealth.”
The “gifts I am given” also references the intuitions or direct knowledge we receive that issue from the sixth chakra, at the pineal gland. This knowledge fortifies the conscious mind’s faith in its suggestion of gifts being given based on strong intuition. This suggestion is far more powerful than contra autosuggestions that might play to ego doubt.
This construction employs the positive use of power to intend, plus the loving energy of gratitude, to deeply fortify the energetic impressiveness of the suggestion to the subconscious mind.
I might further expand the power of this suggestion by calling in the immortal connection to Infinite Intelligence at the crown chakra, as follows: “Infinite intelligence, the essence of my spirit, knows how to heal and provide for me. With deep gratitude for all the gifts I am given, I intend good health and wealth. I trust in the Infinite Power of Infinite Intelligence to manifest my intent with Divine Wisdom, in its own time and in its own way. Thank You.”
Finally, we engage the throat chakra to express, via reading or memorizing aloud, the suggestion we have constructed. Your suggestion may be repeated in many circumstances throughout your day.
I highly recommend using a quiet time, perhaps before sleep—when consciousness naturally prepares to go off into infinity in sleep—to be in communion with our spirit at the crown chakra.
The use of autogenic phrases to release attention from physical attachment opens one to the higher vibration of spirit and direct access to the subconscious mind. I also enjoy the use of breathing techniques, from yogic pranayama to Wim Hof, that emphasize some retention of the breath to physically join the spirit with the human self of the body in a truly holy communion.
The subconscious mind is now fully able to take in our suggestion as we drift into hypnagogic sleep. Repeat it calmly, several times.
Whatever be your intent, may it be positive and imbued with the force of all the energy centers available to you, now.
Let your heart be still as you begin a new day and as you await news of good, as you envision right action, and as you take positive steps in your own life to promote that which is helpful to self and others. When you focus on the greater good for all, the greater good will find you too.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the most prominent and evidenced based psychotherapy of today, is rooted in the principle that changing thought patterns manifests changes in physical life. Thought is a suggestion that creates change in matter.
In Quantum Mechanics particles exist in states of probability until observed by humans. This observer-effect influences the physical state of those particles. Suggestion, from the mind, impacts matter.
All the major spiritual traditions hold that some Divine Utterance of a word was the creative act that gave rise to the physical universe. Suggestion, in the form of a word, creates the physical world.
Shamanic traditions hold that human intent fixated upon a specific organization of energy becomes physical reality. Suggestion, in the form of the intent we call to us, becomes the reality of our physically manifested life.
Autosuggestion, in the form of words we speak to our subconscious mind, is the deliberate use of suggestion to generate the physical reality we seek to manifest. Suggestion manifests physical reality.
It is apparent that suggestion is the new science of matter. Even but a cursory look at current world changes demonstrates how a flood of suggestions is creating separate, but quite physical, realities.
Coexistent with the material world we live in is the mental or subtle world of the mind, which, although its thoughts might be considered to be impacting the cells of the brain, is not, of the brain. The mind is housed in the subtle body of the soul, which runs and cares for its intimate avatar, the physical body, until that physical body’s death, when the soul, with its mind, continues its journey in other dimensions of infinity.
The subtle dimension of the mind exists amid a world of boundless thoughts, in the form of suggestions, that barrage the subconscious dimension of mind to do their bidding. It is the subconscious dimension of mind that organizes matter, or physical reality, according to the suggestions impressed upon it.
Humankind has only recently, on a small scale, woken up, with consciousness, to the power of deliberate suggestion that, when delivered to the subconscious mind, manifests the reality it seeks. For the most part, we are still largely asleep at the wheel of time, unconscious of the fact that our supernatural ability to manifest the life we truly desire is so willingly given over to the thoughts, beliefs and, ultimately, the suggestions, of others.
Suggestions have their roots in desire. The motive power of desire is the fuel behind a verbal suggestion that impresses the subconscious mind. Words without emotion fall flat. Best, however, that the desire behind suggestion be the desire for growth for the greater good of self and all, as the karma of all suggestion is inevitable.
Since the redundancy of our internal dialogue is the major influencer to our subconscious mind, and is what most keeps us oppressed with habitual patterns, I recommend a constant conscious internal dialogue of positive suggestions.
Like rapidly repeating a positive prayer or mantra, a fast-paced reciting of a suggestion intensifies its emotional charge. Feel free to simply repeat them constantly throughout the day rather than indulge in passive fantasies and the thoughts they generate, the typical ongoing internal dialogue that reinforces habitual reality.
Think not about how and when things will manifest; focus only on reinforcing the suggestion with persevering practice. Simply know that in the subtle dimension of the mind the suggestion is manifesting already at the creative center of the imagination.
The word will indeed become flesh when it is time to be lived at the level of dense matter, which is physical reality.
Exercise the science of suggestion, with consciousness and conscience, Chuck
