One of my favorite manifestation techniques incorporates aroma in combination with sacred mantras. According to Tantra of the Yoga Sutras, “Mantra actually changes the rhythm of your brain and takes you from the plane of the 5 senses into what I call a super consciousness in which you are tuned into unbound intelligence”. Or in other words brings you to the brainwave frequency of Theta...that deep state of meditation where the mystical can occur.
Sound & Intention
Yogic science teaches that the Universe is made of sound, and all matter vibrates at certain frequencies-the lower the vibration the more physical the change and higher vibrational frequencies produce more mystical, spiritual or deeply meditative results. According to yogic science there are 84 meridian (aka acupressure) points in the mouth. Each time you chant a mantra, you are striking the meridian points in a pattern that triggers the brainwaves and opens a pathway to higher consciousness. Mantras should be chanted in cycles of 108 repetitions, to allow the sound vibration to open and balance the 108 energy channels within the body. Which brings us to intention. Intention is the process of clearly communicating what you desire or need....to the universe, deities, spirits, etc. This is the backbone of both manifestation and ritual...if you have the wrong intention, or an unclear one, it’s likely you won’t get the results you want.
Scent
Aromatherapy has been used and studied for over 5,000 years. The oils influence our bodies and minds because our limbic system is directly connected to the areas of the brain that control heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, stress levels, hormone balance, and memory. Of our five senses, it is only our sense of smell that links directly to the limbic system aka “our emotional center”. Loss of the ability to smell is not a concern, as the benefits of Aromatherapy are realized due to the natural chemical constituents exerting their influence on the brain regardless of whether you can perceive them. Specific oils such as Frankincense, Vetiver, Sage, Pinon Pine, Patchouli and Ylang Ylang, all have the ability to quickly bring us into the state of Theta necessary for change to occur. So, grab your oils, pick your favorite mantra and enjoy the trip!
