you get some interesting scattered stuff if you just ctrl-F for "energy" (e.g. in the aux practices) but my impression is you can sorta get indirectly to energy stuff by paying attention while doing everything else but idk

i can offer some suggestions off the top of my head also: you can start by paying attention to various different points in your body and noticing what comes up when you do that, you can play around with "putting energy" into them, etc.

if you haven't watched this yet i actually don't recommend listening to anyone make claims about where the different chakras are supposed to be or what they're supposed to correspond to yet. seems to me to be more in the spirit of global wayfinding to find out for yourself π
it's a bodymind puzzle: supposedly there are points in your body where certain kinds of meanings accrue. your particular pattern of how this happens may be unique. empiricism time!!!

ohh, discovering one's own, nice
Frameworks can make it easier to make distinctions between things though
