Harnessing the Power of Aroma, Intention & Manifestation

One of my favorite manifestation techniques blends the power of aroma with the resonance of sacred mantras. According to the Tantra of the Yoga Sutras, “Mantra actually changes the rhythm of your brain and takes you from the plane of the five senses into what I call a super consciousness in which you are tuned into unbound intelligence.” In simpler terms, it brings you to the brainwave frequency of Theta—that deep state of meditation where the mystical becomes possible.

The Sound of Intention

Yogic science teaches that the Universe is made of sound, and all matter vibrates at certain frequencies. Lower vibrations tend to manifest in physical changes, while higher vibrations bring about mystical, spiritual, or deeply meditative experiences. According to yogic tradition, there are 84 meridian (or acupressure) points in the mouth. When you chant a mantra, you activate these meridian points in a pattern that influences brainwaves and opens a pathway to higher consciousness.

Mantras are most effective when chanted in cycles of 108 repetitions. This number allows the sound vibration to balance the 108 energy channels within the body. Intention plays a crucial role in this process. Intention is the clear communication of your desires or needs to the universe, deities, spirits, etc. It is the backbone of both manifestation and ritual. Without a clear and focused intention, the results you seek may not come to fruition.

The Magic of Scent

Aromatherapy has been used and revered for over 5,000 years. Essential oils influence our bodies and minds because the limbic system—our emotional center—is directly connected to the areas of the brain that control heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, stress levels, hormone balance, and memory. Of all our senses, smell has a direct link to the limbic system. Even if you cannot physically smell an aroma, the natural chemical constituents of essential oils can still exert their influence on the brain.

Specific oils such as Frankincense, Vetiver, Sage, Piñon Pine, Patchouli, and Ylang Ylang are particularly effective at guiding us into the Theta state, where transformation can occur. So, gather your oils, select your favorite mantra, and embark on a journey of manifestation and spiritual awakening!
