FAQs & Common Misconceptions

  • “Will I reach instant enlightenment?” Activation is progressive; think dimmer switch, not lightbulb flash.
  • “Do all chakras have to be 100 % open?” They fluctuate; aim for relative balance, not perfection.
  • “Is chakra work only ‘woo-woo’?” Breath, meditation, and visualization have measurable nervous-system effects.
  • “Can I skip straight to the third eye?” Strong root is required; otherwise imbalance symptoms appear.
  • “Physical vs. subtle body—what’s real?” Subtle shifts manifest physically via endocrine and nervous systems.
