burnt said:I think its sort of closed minded, or maybe blindly rationalistic, to think people are "going against the facts of science" just because they believe you can perceive more directly the energy that is present in the body through focus.
Of course some people are more aware of things going on in their body then others. There is no doubt about this and theres nothing wrong with claiming such a thing. But its certainly not close minded to point out that something like spinning wheels of energy located usually near important organs is not a legit explanation for human physiology. Its not at all in any sense. Chakras are not real plain and simple. The only real part about them is that at least the people recognized that areas where chakras were thought to be are often areas where important organs and connections between them are located. Thats all. The rest is completely wrong.
Also you should realize that there is an entire industry that preys on manipulating peoples lack of knowledge about their own body. Its a multi billion dollar industry built on promoting and sustaining lies and misinformation and pretending its medicine. If you call it close minded to oppose that and try to clear up the confusion then you really are a fool. No offense intended but seriously I don't think many of you are aware of the problems these kinds of lies and misinformation about medicine is causing.
You can call them chakras or whatever you wish it doesn't matter.
It does matter when you are talking about human health and medicine.
At first I never meditated on the places where chakras are, i just sat in deep thought or attempted to quiet my mind and listen to my body and did a sort of pranayama, which is simply talking full breathes. Eventually you start reaching the bliss++ states and it feels as though there is huge hearts everywhere in your body, in your palms, along the torso..
All this is explainable by modern understanding of human physiology. You and most people here just don't know shit about human physiology so you don't see how it can be explained. I am sorry I try to be nice about it and understand that most people have almost zero biology education these days but its getting very frustrating trying to explain anything to anyone here anymore.
I always get attacked for being close minded when I am the one telling the truth. You are the ones spreading bullshit like its the plague.
Sorry burnt that was sort of a rant, i didn't mean to bash you and call you closed minded, your honest rational mind is needed in the nexus bro. I have seen the bullshit and misinformation spreading about energy and chakra related stuff on the internet, the websites are everywhere, and i agree with you there that many are scams or people who have no clue what their talking about and are regurgitating old beliefs.. I didn't mean to come off like i believe in chakras in the traditional way that says they are mystical energy spinning about. I use the term chakra loosely. I understand that they must have a logical explanation and are located near vital organs but I haven't seen any explanations that can shed light on the wide range of energy that is experienced at those locations and throughout the body.

You are the creator of your life, not the victim of genetics!"
Mr.dmt this may really offend some people so please think man before posting a claim like this.
