still a little shy about talking about it but one day there'll probably be a twitter thread or a blog post about How I Unblocked My Chakras

That whole thread is great. PS: Chakras made little sense to me until a friend was giving me a blowjob and my mind collapsed into the ‘root chakra’ - which was a lot like lucid dreamless sleep. Those nutty yogis were more right that I wanted to believe.

Oh cool. I’ve heard a few stories about people having non-ordinary experiences in Impro, acting, singing classes. Chakra systems attract a lot of nutters and so on, but it makes good sense to me how so many traditions arrived at similar ways of mapping experience.

Oh the Russian cic; yeah I’m pretty sure she reinvented a bunch of chakra stuff that got adopted by Western yoga/new-age groups. I don’t know the history of that v.well I’ve been indoctrinated by tantric buddhism so my understanding of it may be different I guess

Mi'sen added,
Stewart Alsop III - Host of Crazy Wisdom Podcast @StewartalsopIIISomething most people don't realize is that Yoga as is practiced in the west is almost entirely a product of globalization and new age thought. The chakra system that is talked about in yoga class was basically invented by a Russian woman named Madame Blavatsky.1 reply 1 retweet 5 likes -

Thanks for the link. I agree that energy practices can really fuck you up, especially if you don’t have good 1:1 guidance. It’s not really my wheelhouse. I know a few people who do tsalung practices as their main jam, so I have a lot of respect for skilful ‘energy’ stuff.
