Chakras & Subconscious Mind

For the most part, when I mention the word chakra, most people, if they’ve even heard of chakras, have it filed under a vague heading like, All That Spiritual Stuff. And it is true, chakras form the basis of the human energy system — the one that powers all the other bodily systems that are so handily broken down in medical school curricula.

As part of my one-woman campaign to spread this vital information, I created a Compendium of information on the chakra system. You will never find it in a bookstore or online, but you can, for a donation, request a copy here.

As part of that process, I realized that I used all sorts of words like spirit, soul, archetype, incarnation that most of us assume we understand. But do we really?

If my counseling practice of over forty years is any indication, we actually don’t know what they mean. Or, we can’t articulate it. They’re in that same mental folder Spiritual Stuff.

So I created The Unapologetically Eccentric Glossary. Here’s part of the introduction …

These are definitions that I have developed over 40 years of practice with actual persons and their struggles. They are things I say aloud to clients/patients to make sure we’re on the same page. What’s important, though, is not that you agree with my definitions. What’s important is that you give some serious thought to these sorts of words, figure out what you believe about them, and are able to articulate them clearly to yourself or to persons who come to you for care.

So just as it is supremely important to remember that the chakras are best considered as a system, and are meant, at all times, to work together, it is also incumbent upon each one of us to learn and know the vocabulary that best fits our belief systems.

Today’s Chakra Vocabulary Word is Subconscious Mind.

No one knows where the subconscious mind lives, nor where the “mind’s eye” is. However, brain scientists will tell you that you have conscious access to 10% of your brain — your conscious thoughts. 90% is otherwise engaged.

Let’s just make up some numbers, shall we? Let’s say of that remaining 90%, 45%, the unconscious, is busy with autonomic processes — from making bone marrow to running the immune system to growing eyelashes. Phew! You’re off the hook. What a relief!

Now, let’s surmise that the other 45% comprises the subconscious mind.

I submit to you that the mind is actually the chakra system — those multi-colored, whirling databases that see, know, and remember everything from your inception spirit to soul, then incarnation as soul to body, starting with the first time you took form.

This is what works for me. If it doesn’t work for you, change it.

The most important thing to know about the subconscious mind is that, whether we know what comprises it or not, it always trumps the rest of the mind.

A lot of spiritual work is actually meant to flush out what’s lurking in our subconscious minds, bring it to the surface and the conscious awareness, so that we can work out whether we want to keep that belief or let it go or replace it.

Working at the level of energy is so much more efficient than working from outside in. When you source the energetic cause behind whatever is showing up in your life, and change that, the outer form will change. No exceptions.

Keep looking. Keep listening. Keep asking. All, all, all shall be revealed.

Blessèd week.
