#Chakra

The chakra system is a chart of seven so-called energy wheels within the human body, elegantly solving the spiritual world’s fill-in-the-blanks with nothing but color and conviction. Its method of instant mysticism by hue substitution is the spiritual equivalent of a prank. It now moonlights as the wellness industry’s latest self-help weapon, bandying Eastern philosophy to juice up marketing. Scientific backing remains as elusive as the chakras themselves, and skeptics risk being cursed with blocked energy. Ultimately, with enough colors, deep breaths, and blind faith, sales will ascend uninterrupted.

The crown chakra is purported to reside atop the head as a mysterious energy source. Invisible and untouchable, it sustains the self-indulgence of those willing to believe. Touted as the gateway to cosmic unity, its only tangible effect often amounts to dozing off and emptiness. As the most expensive ornament in the new-age marketplace, it is also the prime activator of your wallet chakra.

The heart chakra is the purported 'power plant of love' located around the heart. In reality, it is an invisible magic black box whose openness is dictated by self-proclaimed spiritual healers. It symbolizes the paradox of feeling warm inside while the credit card bill arrives cold and unforgiving. While seekers chase unseen lights in their chest, their wallet reflects the harsh reality of everyday life.

The energy vortex supposedly located at the base of the spine that elegantly hosts both your desire for security and your talent for self-deception. Point your awareness there, and your survival instincts will cheer while your skepticism throws a party. It’s like an impoverished spirit demanding attention with colorful yoga mats and incense. Originally meant to ground you, it often becomes the scaffolding for an inner castle of illusions. Misuse it and you’ll merely amass a towering pile of self-help books as decorative futilities.
