On my TTC (LaAntilla, 1972) someone asked MMY about chakras and he laughed and said they go round and round. He talked a little about kundalini yoga and said it was a legitimate path but required a lot of personal attention from a master. He concluded with saying with TM we don't have to worry about chakras. Now, my take: Chakras are just part of the subtle nervous system along with nadis. You can experience energy flowing through various nadis when you're very still. Also attention enlivens various chakras. TMer's have huge ajna chakras probably from all the mental techniques we do. If you want to go on a fun trip, place your attention on your ajna chakra (third eye) and your attention will be pulled through it into different lokas (worlds). I sh*t you not. > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
