The chakra system is used by Hinduists, Buddhists, practitioners of Yoga, it's a widely used eastern system.

I've glanced at your Stoicist info, and I relate to that as having some healthy detachment.

I believe that our lives are pretty small and that our consciousness does not cease upon death of this earthy body, we just get a new different one. So I believe in reincarnation, but I also believe there are different levels of reality. A larger view of reality helps me not be so attached.

I think that by being aware in the moment we can gain clarity of our surroundings and mainly ourselves. By being aware, we can evaluate our actions instead of letting our own tendencies run on auto pilot. While it's important to have acceptance of things that have happened or certain realities, we don't have to stagnate in anger or self pity etc - as to to so only plants the seeds of that negativity within ourselves, and we will reap what we we sow even if it's just our own internal thinking.

While it's rare for an individual to remember past lives, I believe that our emotional, psychological, and spiritual progress can carry over.

Appreciate your posts Sancho.
