In the discipline of occult research, we recognize that the human organism is far more than a biological machine; it is a sophisticated “internal engine” of psychic forces. At the heart of this engine are the seven major chakras—psychic centers that function as energy transformers. These centers bridge the gap between the practitioner’s four bodies: the physical, the astral (the emotional/subconscious), the mental (the rational/conscious), and the spiritual. In this framework, the spiritual body is directed by the Kia, or the soul. The Kia acts as the operator of the engine, overseeing the conversion of pure, high-vibrational energy into the manifested force used in our everyday lives and magickal workings.
The Anatomy of the Psychic Network: Nadies and Channels
For the engine to function, it requires a complex “wiring” system known as the Nadies. These are psychic channels that follow the path of the autonomic nervous system along the spinal cord. If the Nadies are the circuitry, the breath (Pranayama) is the combustion that fuels the flow of power. Within this network, we focus on three primary conduits:
- Sushumna: The central, neutral channel. It is the main shaft of the engine through which the “Kundalini” or primary psychic energy rises.
- Ida: The left-side channel, characterized by “Yin” qualities—passivity, the moon, and the feminine principle.
- Pingala: The right-side channel, characterized by “Yang” qualities—activity, the sun, and the masculine principle.
To the practitioner gifted with clairvoyant sight, these centers do not appear as static organs but as dynamic, rotating circles or funnels of light. Often described as petaled lotuses, they are the valves of the internal engine, opening and closing to regulate the intake and output of vital force.
A Comprehensive Guide to the Seven Major Centers
The following table serves as a technical manual for the practitioner. Note that while lower centers correspond to physical elements, the higher centers transition into the Tattvic realm of Akasa (Spirit), as we move from the material into pure consciousness.
| Name | Physical Location | Element / Tattva | Psychic Faculty / Function |
| Root (Muladhara) | Base of spine (perineum) | Earth (Prithivi) | Psychic smell |
| Sacral (Svadhisthana) | Behind the genitals | Water (Apas) | Psychic taste |
| Solar Plexus (Manipura) | The navel | Fire (Tejas) | Emotions and Clairvoyance (Psychic sight) |
| Heart (Anahata) | Over the heart | Air (Vayu) | Psychic touch |
| Throat (Vishuddha) | Base of the throat | Spirit (Akasa) | Clairaudience (Psychic hearing) |
| Frontal (Ajna) | Between and slightly above eyebrows | Spirit (Akasa) | Center of psychic powers; used to cure nervousness |
| Crown (Sahasrara) | Top of the head | Spirit (Akasa) | Astral projection and Enlightenment |
Chakras in Magickal Practice
The practitioner must realize that the chakras are not merely icons to be contemplated; they are active tools for the Mage.
Chakra Meditation (Kundalini Yoga) By concentrating on the centers sequentially, we draw energy from the Root up through the Sushumna. This process “vivifies” the centers, increasing the engine’s output. The success of this work is measured by the development of sidhis (occult powers). When the energy reaches the Crown, the practitioner achieves a state of enlightenment, effectively “turning over” the engine to its highest capacity.
The “Flashlight of Attention” Theory The development of extra-sensory perception (the “Clairs”) relies on the principle of directed attention. As researchers, we understand the mind is like a flashlight in a dark room: we only perceive what the beam strikes. By focusing the “flashlight” of our concentration on a specific chakra—such as the Vishuddha for clairaudience—we focus mental energy on that specific frequency, filtering out the “noise” of the other senses until the psychic faculty becomes lucid.
Psychic Healing Mechanics Healing is the transfer of vital energy to repair imbalances in a subject. The Solar Plexus (Manipura) serves as the primary point of discharge. To send energy, the practitioner should visualize the force as a colored cloud—specifically bright apple-green for vitality or rose-pink for unselfish love. This energy is most effectively projected by exhaling explosively, sending the visualized beam directly into the subject’s energy field to re-establish balance.
Maintaining Balance: The Role of Health and Diet
A high-performance engine requires a stable chassis. In energy work, the physical body is that chassis. If the body is neglected, the mind cannot process high-voltage psychic force. We utilize diet not just for nutrition, but to regulate the “density” of the astral body.
- Light Foods (Greens, Fruits, Vegetables): These increase psychic receptivity and raise the energy level, making the astral body more “porous” for work like astral projection.
- Heavy Foods (Red Meat, Poultry, Grains): These serve as a necessary anchor. If a practitioner has “rent the veil” too far or feels ungrounded and over-sensitized, consuming heavy foods serves to “bring them down to earth” and stabilize the psychic engine.
Important Cautionary Note Intensive chakra work and the raising of Kundalini produce profound physiological shifts. This work should never be attempted by those with unstable mental conditions or heart disease. Furthermore, we must note that certain medications, particularly those used to treat epilepsy, can retard or interfere with the progress of chakra vivification. Stability and sobriety are the prerequisites for any successful operation of the internal engine.
