The subsidiary exercises, also called the six qualities or the six virtues, serve to strengthen the life of the soul and are an essential precondition and constant accompanying exercise for anyone who aspires to the path of initiation. Practised consistently, they lead up to imaginative cognition and on to inspiration and intuition. These subsidiary exercises, which are by no means incidental but essential to any contemporary training of the mind, must always accompany the main meditative exercises. By practising these six qualities, the heart chakra is regularly trained, becomes active and begins to rotate in a clockwise direction, thus creating the basis for conscious, intuitive heart thinking that dives deeply into beings.
