How to Evolve Your Belief Systems Using Chakras

Q. I have deep desires that I struggle to fulfill. I take action to achieve these desires, and yet…they do not materialize. I’ve become aware that I have beliefs that tell me I can’t have what I want. I’m wondering what can I do to evolve my belief systems using my chakras?

We hear a lot about the impact of negative belief systems on our ability to create and manifest the reality we intend, desire and choose. The Jane Roberts/Seth collaboration from the 1960s offers incredible teachings about consciousness, reality, and our awesome and magnificent capacity to create and manifest:

‘You are given the gift of the gods; you create your reality according to your beliefs; yours is the creative energy that makes your world; there are no limitations to the self except those you believe in.’

I’m always interested in intentions when frustration and concern about being unable to manifest a want or desire is mentioned. Intentions are a great thing to examine when something desired is not bearing fruit.

Here are some thoughts about intention:

• Make it brief, action-oriented, and if possible, an ‘I am’ statement.
  • I am healthy, vibrant and energetic. I thrive each day in my body.
• Make it real. What does it look, smell, feel, taste, sound like to have what you desire?
  • I feel joyous as I cook savory, innovative meals for the patrons of my restaurant. My staff and I love the work and delight in the compliments about our food and service.
• Did you unconsciously include negative intent, or what you don’t want, or already are experiencing?
  • I let go of my anger… I release my depression… I no longer want to …

Another favorite Seth/Jane Roberts quote for working with manifesting a desired reality:

‘To act in an independent manner, you must begin to initiate action that you want to occur physically by creating it in your own being. This is done by combining belief, emotion and imagination, and forming them into a mental picture of the desired physical result.’

Do you know where you house your beliefs? In your sixth chakra, located in the center of your head. The sixth chakra performs lots of important functions in your life, but perhaps the most essential to understand is the way that your beliefs influence and manifest your reality. You actualize your life and bring your ideas into form through the conscious and unconscious beliefs that reside in your sixth chakra.

One powerful practice for evolving your beliefs includes an exercise that I call ‘Noticing Your Narrative’.

Conscious beliefs are easy to notice, right? You’re aware that you feel less than, or not enough. You identify with the idea that you can’t have what you want or don’t deserve to have your needs met.

These conscious beliefs are the known part of your narrative.

Write them down.

Avoid judging them.

Rewrite them. Make them validating. Write them as if you believe they are true and attainable.

Now, begin to notice your unconscious narrative. Assign your observer self the task of noticing your unconscious beliefs. Watch for the sneaky, insidious, wily, whispering voice that trickles defeatist, negative rhetoric when you contemplate your inspired ideas, wishes and desires.

Write them down.

Avoid judging them.

Ask yourself, ‘whose voice am I hearing?’ It’s never your voice! Write down whose voice you’re hearing.

Rewrite them. Make them validating. Write them as if you believe they are true and attainable.

Now, let’s do some chakra work:

• Tune into your sixth chakra
• Say hello to the conscious and unconscious beliefs that came from your past experiences and from other people, times and place. You’re acknowledging their presence in the sixth chakra.
• Imagine gathering them into a pile and burning them, or digging a hole in the Earth and burying them.
• Imagine gently wiping your sixth chakra clean of any residue from these beliefs.
• Gather up the energy of the rewritten beliefs and sift them into your sixth chakra, as if sprinkling the energy of your refined self-awareness throughout the chakra.
• Sit quietly while validating your intentions, ideas, needs and desires; seeing them as actionable, attainable, viable, resonating and coherent.

Continue to Notice Your Narrative. It’s a powerful exercise for identifying, rooting out and evolving how you think about yourself and what you’re capable of creating and manifesting.
