For me, I visualize the area and then add the thoughts associated with that center.  For opening the heart, I visualize it and then expand my awareness outwards and feel myself unconditionally allow, accept and appreciate all of humanity.  I add in the many different countries, races, religions, creeds, mind-sets, and basically everything I know of associated with humanity.  When getting to the point of appreciation for all that, then I can really feel it.  For the crown I try thinking in infinite terms and imagine all as one entity spreading out forever from the center of each awareness unit.  The sexual chakra is pretty easy to get going.  The throat one I don't think about too much.  I suppose I should start adding that one in when doing the separate chakra expansion exercises.

You might be surprised to learn that the "chakras" have been removed by the dimensions. They are no longer needed. They will exist as a "memory" of your mind.

Probably came from "Desteni," and it's definitely not true.

This summer I visited a psychic woman named Nanci who does readings (by going into a trance-like state and keeping her hand preoccupied scribbling on a notepad while stuff sort of speaks through her from whatever source she taps into) at our local metaphysical bookshop.  On the way there I was listening to music in my car and feeling very amped up positivity, a lot of positive, sentimental emotion about particular things that I won't sidetrack onto here.  Needless to say one of the first things Nanci mentioned with a smile before we got down to business was that my heart chakra was definitely open.  She could see it plain as day the second we met, which was no surprise because I could totally feel it myself, due to the mindset I'd been in on the drive over. 

There are other examples I could cite that disapproves your statement but, that's a good one.

Enjoy.

The chakra I least feel nowadays are the Root and maybe Throat (I get confused the pressure on the back of my lower part neck or on the front).

It's disappointing because the Root feels tingling for a second then stops, hardly feeling as if it's even opened.

The Sacral, Navel are the ones most active feeling, but usually leave a stress on the point annoying me wanting me to close them real tightly.

It's been some weeks now and I guess I shouldn't be expecting the Psychic Offshoot unless the chakras are balanced and tough.

Any help/info..?
