Chakras are psychic centres in the body that are
active at all times, whether we are conscious of them or not. Energy moves
through the chakras to produce different psychic states. Modern biological
science explains this as the chemical changes produced by the endocrine glands,
ductless glands whose secretions mix into the body's bloodstream directly and
instantaneously. Ancient philosophers of the East related those changes with the
five basic tattvas, or elements- earth, water, fire, air and akasha
( ether ). These elements are constantly coming and going with the circadian
rhythms inside the body. The ancient Indian science of Yoga therefore laid great
emphasis on knowing these elements and on working accordingly, for the chakras
are understood as the playground of the elements. In the ancient science of
Svara Yoga (the yoga of conscious breathing), various methods to identify the
presence of the tattva in the body are prescribed and by mastering these
techniques yogis can program themselves so as to accomplish much by using the
least possible amount of energy. By the constant practice of kshata chakra
bhedana (piercing the six chakras by visualization) and mantra japa (mantra
recitation), they can finally transcend the tattvas, which dominate the five
basic centers of the body-that is, the first five chakras-and thereby achieve
the nondual consciousness that liberates them from the illusory world of maya.
