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:

1. Sacrum: Security
2. Genitals: Sensuality
3. Solar Plexus: Power
4. Heart: Love
5. Throat: Expression
6. Pineal Gland: Intuition
7. 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.

Positive Vibrations,
