There is very little that remains from the "Vedic tradition--in fact most of what the TMO/M. promotes as "Vedic" is not "Vedic" at all. Chakras in the popular usage comes primarily from the first translation of the "Sat Chakra Nirupana", a relatively recent text. I doubt there would be any measurable physiological correlation with our current level of technology, although these different states do correspond do specific styles of meditation, all of which ARE being studied and do possess certain styles of neurological epxression. Ultimately their goal is relax beyond dualistic "witnessing" and simply to be able to integrate the state of non-dual presence whether with thoughts or without thoughts or whatever. I cannot see how you'd "measure" that. To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!' Yahoo!
