and for those who seek the most purist trip and healing that blows away lsd or any other kind of artificially lab created chemical.. try ayahuasca. its the ulimate nuetropic and journey you can take. 2 nights ago i had My First #Ayahuasca Experience. The Quick Post Mortem - 10yrs of therapy.. in 1 night. - 2x more energy. - full chacras alignment - 3x more focus - 3x less stress - a more positive attitude - 100x more confidence - deep sense of gratitude - mega bursts of creative non-linear thinking - less physical pain ( stemming from long-term computer use ) - awareness & empathy ( which is hard for me being a lonely child ) - due to the pre-diet prep..i've now finally become vegan.

>full chacras alignment You know that that is mumbo jumbo BS, right?

  It means something important to him, whether he conveys the idea perfectly or not to us in this post.

    >It means something important to him Well, isn't that true for anyone believing in mumbo jumbo? Shouldn't truth be even more important?

      If you think of "chakra talk" as a particular dialect some people use to communicate where their emotional and mental state is at, you can hear the truth of what they are trying to say.

        How about they adopt an everyday dialect that's not choke-full of metaphysics and New Age scents?

        Is there such a dialect? It's pretty hard to describe something so outside the everyday experience with 'normal' words - I try to view such 'mumbo jumbo' as just another metaphor, doesn't have to mean something supernatural is going in.

  Chackras seem to make perfect sense to me as a system to classify what i'd call "somatic cognition." It's not just your brain that thinks, you know. Your body has a way of knowing, processing and remembering experiences. Sure, it's a pre-scientific system, but there are insights to be gained from it.

    There has actually been research performed recently, touched on here[1] which tells us that the body does actually communicate with the brain quite a bit-- it's not so much pre-science any more.

      That has little to do with chacras, alignment and other such stuff though -- the same way that the fact that we have an electrical field around our body doesn't validate Kirlian photography of "auras".

  The idea that chakras are actual physical "things" is extremely doubtful (kundalini is a real thing though - and don't argue with me :), but as a model for psychological processes and insights, the chakra system is superior to anything Freud concocted. I'd recommend Anodea Judith's "Eastern Body, Western Mind" for a solid introduction - she has a master's in clinical psych and it's a good book that isn't all new age BS, though you do have to be willing to try and understand how metaphors work... it's just a model, much like software is really only insubstantial thought-stuff that through the interface of hardware, actually can interact with the world. The problem with a lot of "New Agers" is that they can't think abstractly - they are like the early Christians who got laughed at by the pagans for believing their version of the "dead and resurrected god" myth was the literal truth. But from a psychological angle, such a myth is very informative about something part of the "human condition".
