If the law of attraction is not working for you, ascension coach Susanna Kennedy believes old subconscious programming may be the obstacle. She says affirmations can collide with beliefs and emotions absorbed in childhood, and she describes a guided meditation method for clearing them. These are her personal beliefs, shared in conversation with Jeremy Van Wert.
ᛉKey takeaways
- Susanna believes affirmations can fail when what you want to create is the opposite of what your subconscious programming holds.
- She says many of those programs form in the first seven years of life, when small messages teach a child not to trust what they think and feel.
- Susanna suggests a simple evening practice: release the day's stress into an imagined sphere and send that sphere infinite love.
- In her view, getting more degrees or certifications does not solve feeling stuck, because the answer lives in the heart and intuition rather than in the mind.
- Susanna believes balancing logic and intuition, which she calls sacred union, helps a person stay centered in a divided world.

ᚠWhy the law of attraction is not working for some people
Susanna Kennedy says many of her clients arrive after law of attraction training, frustrated. They have done the affirmations and tried to manifest consciously, and they still get something else. Her explanation is that what they are getting is their programming.
She describes the mechanism this way: when what you consciously want is the opposite of what sits in your subconscious, the programming acts like a stop sign or a distortion. In her view, the law of attraction is always in operation, so getting what you do not want points to something in the way. She names beliefs, stuck emotions and unresolved patterns inherited from ancestors as possible obstacles.
She also believes this programming starts early. As an example, she describes a well-meaning parent who tells a cold child to put on a sweater, or tells a hungry child they cannot be hungry because they just ate. Small signals like these, she says, teach children in their first seven years not to trust what they think and feel.
ᚢWhat Reality Crafting 5.0 is and how it works
Susanna has spent more than 20 years helping people expand their consciousness and live more authentically. She calls her approach Reality Crafting 5.0, or consciousness technology. It is a guided meditation style recording: you follow along, and at the end, she says, you have cleared a layer of limiting beliefs, patterns and the emotional baggage attached to them.
She describes it as a blend of quantum physics, spirituality and emotional intelligence. Her view is that people are vibrating energy and that every thought and emotion has a frequency. When you hold a steady frequency she calls infinite love, she says, lower frequencies rise to meet it, which she describes as a way to “discreate” something and then recreate it.
To keep this gentle, she has people release dense emotions into what she calls an alchemical sphere and neutralize them in a “zero point” field. Without a safety mechanism, she warns, changing too much too fast can cause a healing crisis. Jeremy compares the process to stirring up dust on the ocean floor, which has to be contained so you are not breathing it in. These ideas are Susanna's own beliefs and are not presented as established science.
ᚦA simple practice for releasing daily stress
Jeremy raises caregiver burnout, as doctors, nurses and therapists often take on other people's pain. He asks how someone keeps their energy from being drained. Susanna's answer is a short routine: when you come home from work, take a few minutes to release the day's stress into a sphere, send that sphere infinite love and bring your energy back around you. She says it gets quick with practice.
She also mentions a roughly 20 minute meditation she calls Quantum Peace Activation, which she says suits bedtime or waking. If chronic stress has you feeling stuck, Jeremy offers individual therapy and coaching for people who want support from a licensed professional.
ᚨHow to stay centered in a polarized world
Susanna calls unity sacred union, which is also the title of her book, Sacred Union: Ascending to a Fifth-Dimensional Paradise. She describes it as bringing two different energies into integration, including the analytical left side of the brain and the intuitive right side. She says our society has valued analysis over intuition and creativity, and that balancing the two helps relationships, which then reflect more compassion and intimacy.
Jeremy adds that constant information can pull people deeper into being right and further from empathy. Susanna's answer is to go inside and stay grounded. She also says that when you feel unsure about something you read or hear, intuition can tell you what does not feel true, and you can then use logic to look further.
She offers a story from her corporate years. A colleague once asked how she knew when to leave a meeting room, because things heated up when she stepped out. Susanna says she was radiating peace, and that people reverted when she left. After she left the firm, they asked her to sit in on their meetings for a month, which she takes as a sign that presence matters.
ᚱWhy more degrees do not fix feeling stuck
Jeremy describes a pattern he sees: people feel stuck, so they earn another degree, then another certification, and keep returning to convention for a problem convention cannot solve. He asks whether the real answer is to find out what your soul needs to experience.
Susanna agrees. In her view, the problem lives in the mental body, so more education will not solve it. She compares the mind and the heart to AM and FM radio, saying you cannot pick up an FM station on an AM frequency. Her suggestion is to move into the heart space and receive messages from the soul instead.

ᚲSusanna's awakening and move to Sedona
Before this work, Susanna was a consultant at a firm near Detroit, designing training and performance solutions for the auto industry. She began to ask whether teaching a dealer to run his car dealership was why she was on earth.
One Saturday morning, she says, she woke with an energy like a freight train going up her spine. She heard a voice say, “You are giving birth to yourself, just breathe.” It lasted about an hour and a half, and she says she felt like a completely different person.
Over the next year she changed her life one step at a time and moved to Sedona, Arizona. She learned a modality, then says her guides asked her to use her skills as an instructional designer to make the work graceful enough for groups. That became her six-week emotional mental detox, with one guided meditation a week for six core issues. Susanna presents this as her own experience. People who want to talk with others exploring questions like these can find real conversation, live Fireside Chats and a course library in Thriving Spirits, the Mindful Mutiny community.
ᚷWhy letting go brings ease
Susanna closes with a question. She says we are beings of love and light, and she asks how much energy it takes to keep ourselves small. Her view is that if people saw that, they would let it go, and that once they release it, ease, grace and abundance come more naturally.
Jeremy ends by saying he values her message and her focus on tangible practice, and that people are not at fault for how they were programmed. He describes transcending that conditioning as sometimes disorienting, and he sees it as living the highest form of yourself.
