Are Chakras Real or Conceptual?

In recent years, there has been a lot of talk around alternate ways of healing the mind and the body. Among those, the use of “Chakras” has caused a significant stir in the western world.

As the debate around the validity of Chakras and the actual science behind it continues, people like you and me, who want to investigate everything before accepting them, are in a fix.

For instance, if you are a “Type A” person, who is skeptical about everything, you are probably thinking, “Ah! Chakras may be just another way to fool people”.

If this sounds like you, you are not alone!

There are thousands of people who want evidence of anything that is in a different dimension to what they have known to exist.

So, the big question is, are Chakras real?

More curious minds may even go further to ask, are Chakras proven?

  • If they are, how do they work?
  • If they aren’t, then why such a hue and cry about them?

This is exactly what this blog post is all about. Like you, I was skeptical about the existence of Chakras.

And so, I dug a little deeper. Read on to know more about my findings, which delve into the origin of Chakras and its validity as per spiritual beliefs, science, and the mind-body connection.

To begin with, let us understand whether Chakras are real or conceptual.
Well, there is no easy way to answer this, but let’s just say that if you believe in the existence of energy, then you must believe in the reality of Chakras.

The only thing to note here is, although there is a lack of direct scientific evidence, the presence of energy elements within our body has been proven time and again, courtesy yoga and meditation. 

Origin of Chakras

So, where did the concept of Chakras come from? You probably have heard of Chakras being epitomized by Buddhist monks of China and Hindu tantriks of India and you are wondering:

  • Are Chakras Hindu?
  • Are Chakras Buddhist?
  • Who invented Chakras, after all?

Well, history suggests that Hindus and Buddhists both had a role to play in understanding the usage of Chakras.

Let’s dive a little further.

The earliest evidence of any text that dwells on the existence of Chakras was found in the Hindu scripture of the Vedas, which are dated around 600 BC.

Yes, it is hard to believe that this system is that old!

This text was intertwined with the teachings of yoga, which, no doubt, has created a significant impact all over the world, especially in the last few decades.

Not much later, as Buddhism evolved as a separate religion, we began to see variations in the Chakra system.

Now, it is not quite clear whether the Buddhist monks “borrowed” the teachings from the Vedas, but the intermingling of the definitions and the types of Chakras suggest that there may have been a connection.

Just to be clear, there is no evidence that Lord Buddha himself taught the benefits of Chakras to his disciples.

The teachings seem to have come into being through hand-me-down wisdom by word-of-mouth or through scriptures.

And then, of course, there are differences in opinion among the Buddhists, too.

While in Tibetan Buddhism, Chakras play a pivotal role in their spiritualistic journey, Chinese Buddhism incorporates a mix of Qi-Gong and Tai-Chi, which are well-researched mindfulness practices.

Chakras and Energy Existence

I know what you are thinking.

All of this sounds familiar to all the astral projections that Dr. Strange produces in the fictitious universe of Marvel Comics.

Guess what, you are partially correct!

When Dr. Strange travels to Asia to learn about astral projections from the “Ancient One”, she shows him a book referring to the ancient wisdom of the Chakra philosophy.

The rest of the story is, of course, fantasy, but one true thing is that Chakras represent the various energy points in our body, which are subtle, but when controlled properly, can produce effective results.

Now, you need to understand that Chakras are not supernatural.
They are, in fact, as earthly as the air we breathe and the water we drink.

Let me now guess your next question:

If Chakras are earthly and are just about energy points, then why can’t we measure them?

After all, energy, in its various forms, can be quantified and measured by various scientific units.

Then why not the Chakras?

The answer is, Chakras cannot be measured because they are more to do with emotions and feelings, rather than with physical touch.

It is the job of these feelings to be projected as energy within our physical state of being.

When you focus your attention on these energy points, they work in synchronization with our physical being to bring about the effect that we desire.

Most commonly, this flow of energy rouses our parasympathetic nervous system, which is designed to let our body cool down and relax.

And so, even though these energy points cannot be seen or measured, they exist in the…
