I'll be perfectly honest...I've heard the word chakra many times over but have absolutely no clue about them.

Meditation for me has usually been about relaxing my mind from stress, anxiety and worry. Just kind of sitting with myself and my thoughts for a while.

My dad got into this new age stuff around the time of my parents divorce, I was around 10 or 11. He got into Numerology and Pyramids and Chrystals and all that jazz. His friend, she was into Wiccan culture. She did this reading on me and came back with stay clear of occultish stuff. I took her at her word.

If anything what about how meditation is in Asia? Or just go light with the relaxation techniques, on second thought.
