Chakras are part of the belief system of several religions because most of the religions on question have some basis in the earliest one. Most of the modern energy-working beliefs about Chakras, as well as most of the "New Age" relious beliefs about them, derive from Theosophy, which itself derives from Hinduism.

I personally do not believe in Chakras, although my opinion in this regard is subject to change, if I encounter any evidence to warrant that change. As far as I have seen so far, the Chakras appear to be constructs, created by belief in them. Notice I say "appear to be". I've seen them on quite a few people, and can indeed produce the Chakra effects myself, having been trained to do so. If they turn out to be a natural, non-construct reality, I would be interested to know why there are so many wildly divergent variations on the Chakra theme, as far as "what they are" and "what they do".

My experience and observations leads me to believe the energy pathways exist although I freely admit that those might also be constructs. Belief in the one does not require belief in the other. More to the point, successful energy-work does not require belief in either of them. Either they exist or they do not, ne?

At the same time, it is quite possible to use systems such as New Energy Ways and Therapeutic Touch which involve Chakras in their explanations, without the Chakras being involved in fact, at all.

As for the "subnavel energy storage centre", I do not know _why_ psi-stuff seems to collect there in the regular course of the day, but on most people, that does seem to be where it accumulates. That does not make it a Chakra, though. Chakras are supposed to be vortices, not storage containers, last I heard. Also, the pressure on the "third eye" area during certain forms of energy work might be the reason for the belief in the "third eye" as easily as the "third eye" being the cause of the pressure sensation.

Mr. Bruce's approach to things works quite well, but that does not mean that his interpretation of _how_ it works is correct. At the same time, and in the same way, our interpretation here at PsiPog about _how_ it works may not be correct, either (apart from the fact that this interpretation is incomplete in the extreme). Until there is further evidence to support more than hypotheses about the underlying mechanisms, I would suggest not worrying too much about the interpretations of _how_ it works unless you are actively involved in research on that subject. If you _are_ actively involved in research to uncover the actual mechanisms involved, be careful not to let your beliefs interfere with your observations (that error is far too common in this field of endeavor).

Short version: if using a chakra-based energy system works for you, run with it.

You have most likely made a psi-ball, however, try to have a friend feel it to see.

Actually, some people say that you only get psi from yourself, and that visualizing you are getting it from the earth is only a mental crutch. Others believe different things. Don't worry so much about theories and all that crap - focus on what YOU feel, and how YOU can learn from YOUR experiences... If you read a theory and EXPECT to feel something because the theory says so, it might just be the placebo effect. But if you take a more open approach of "well, this one theory says this... but this other theory says that... let's see what I feel". And hey, you might feel something that contradicts all the theories you've read.

My point being - let yourself experience what you are going to experience without the pressure of someone else's theory on you. Experience! And then later if you find one theory reflects what you've experienced, then consider that theory a little more than other ones.

(Sorry for being a little long winded, hope what I said makes sense )

Once it is set up, it shouldn't need attention in order to be maintained. If it is left alone, eventually, it will run out of "energy", and dissipate. The duration of its existence should be part of the initial program of the construct.

You can certainly use anime and movies as a basis for your visualisations, if you like.

It might indicate a certain amount of innate talent for constructs, but it is difficult to say for certain.

Some people can feel it, and some people can't. If it accomplishes what you set it up to do, it works. If not, it doesn't. What are you setting it up to do?

That kind of projecting _can_ be done with a Shield, but usually is not.

In this field, control is largely a matter of practice, especially practice of the very basic skills. Therefore I suggest that you take a look at the "Newbies" section, even if you've been doing this sort of thing for several decades.

Yes, it is a serious site, and yes, it is really possible to manipulate the program with "psi".
