Blending Eastern and Contemporary Philosophies

Two main lines of energies start at the nose, as we breathe in through the nostrils,  the air passes upwards,  meets and crosses between the eyebrows, then moves back downwards towards the lungs. As we exhale we create a release, while simultaneously giving back to our surroundings.

The points at which the left and right energy channels cross are at our "chakras" which most people imagine are these spinning wheels, but in a traditional sense are actually crossroads where our  main channels and other smaller ones densely meet at. Imagine a ball of entangled strings or  chords of wire. This...
