OK I come at this all from a different perspective and that is simply because I have had a different experience (seemingly) than most of you. From my perspective, chakras, or rather energy centers, exist and have a huge effect on our lives because they are a part of our physiology. Also I have been given the experience of literally forays into the spirit world on psilocybin mushrooms, encountering and meeting spirits that I literally had worked with in past lives as a south american shaman. This is my experience, and I was shown all of this and many more things about myself after only dosing twice on mushrooms on two separate occasions. In both experiences I was guided by these spirits in a very organic, imaginative way through the spirit world, communicating psychically throughout with entities outside of myself. Heres how we communicated. In one experience I was first opened up by being hugged by a spirit made out of black and red thorns. This metaphorically and physically opened up the fractal borders of myself, allowing me to experience more deeply the beings I was about to meet. Then I was guided though an underwater realm meeting spirits the whole time. The spirits met me and kind of interfaced with me. Basically the way we communicated was by being close to eachother, out energy fields intertwining and interfacing. By being next to a spirit I was able to feel their life, their experiences as a autonomous being somehow, learning instantly that each one had been alive for thousands of years and had experienced many, many things being in relationship with humans throughout that time period. This was when I remembered my past life interaction with them, which is just a memory that came up somehow, that I had worked with these beings before as a shaman.
In totality I met 40 or 50 beings like this, maybe even more, and learned as well that each are specialists in their own right in a way, teaching things pertinent to our evolution in their own special way. They are teachers, and some give painful lessons at that depending on what you identify with in your evolution. I met one that was very ugly to my sensibilities, kind of a medusa like being, a girl, who I immediatley understood gives painful lessons to those who need them and who literally call for them by nature of their deeds. But I also understood that this lesson is needed by those who get it. I also met one who can give people the experience of ego death by expanding itself and yourself in a way as to give you an experience of the selfless self.
I will say one last thing. I don't know if your wife has brought up the subject of kundalini yet but it is a subject that has been spoken to and experienced directly by yogis for millenia. I won't get too into the idea of what it is partly due to my own lack of understanding now and partly because it could bring confusion, but kundalini itself is life force energy that is absolutely vital for life. Basically I have been directly experiencing a kundalini awakening for a couple years now, and am past the climax of the experience, the so called "kundalini raising" episode. This life changing event happened about 6 months ago. Coming home from a nervous breakdown I had in New York City, I arrived to a loving family, but was not whole as I had just suffered a break, an overwhelm that somehow overwhelmed me physiologically and psychologically. The day after I got back home my dad guided me through a meditation that he had been doing for years on end and that never in his experience elicited the experience that I had then and there. Basically I experienced what the meditation is supposed to do fully. And I'll keep it as concise as possible. Basically a whole lot of this life force energy, kundalini, rose from the base of my spine, pierced and penetrated each energy center in my body, filled each center with its light wholly, purifying me perfectly as it went up, then left my body entirely traveling up very high into the atmosphere. I felt and saw all of this happening with psychic perception; basically with my eyes closed I saw my body as it naturally is, as light, and I saw and felt kundalini rise through each center, purifying it all. I also had been working unconsciously and consciously to get to the point where I had this experience for 3 or so years, incorporating a diet change into my life, practicing meditation, yoga, and kundalini yoga. I guess thats all I want to say now, let me know if you have any questions or if I can elucidate anything cryptic in here for you.
