6. many different things but fundamentally a circle.

[Taverner]

11. Is it something that can be paralleled in Physics or Psychology?

Or is it something outside of that?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

12. i mean its a wheel so there is physics in that but it has a mystical sense too

which doesnt have a parallel in psych or physics

[TZ]

13. It's pseudoscience

Mention it to a physicist you'll get your head bitten off. When someone says it's something they believe that's a red flag, scientifically

[tigereye]

20. to be fair, many cultures that have existed for thousands of years have

beliefs of this type. Chinese medicine is one as well.


Fortunately people aren't required to let scientists decide what they want to believe - now if you want insurance to pay for it, that may be a different matter.

27. According to the Nickolodeon cartoon, Avatar: The Last Air Bender,

a chakra is a pool of energy in the body. The human body has several chakras. This energy flows from our bellybutton area to the top of our head. If any of our chakras are blocked, we will be below our mental potential. Common blockers are fear, guilt, and attachment. The Avatar needs to clear the flow between all of his or her chakras in order to master the Avatar State.
