Benefits of Chakra Work

[Chris_com28]

I've been wondering for some time of the benefits of long term chakra work. Maybe someone else could back this up for me. Maybe someone here who's been doing chakra work for some time. Each chakra is supposed to have certain psychological benefits, like increased conifence, more emotional stability, increased confidence etc. Do you actually feel the psychological benefits? I'm sure you should.
I haven't done much chakra work. I'm trying to motivate myself to do it reguarly at the moment as I'm sure I would benefit from it. Though I don't remember getting any of the benefits from my seldom practice I have experienced great burts of energy. Though one thing I have experienced is when I notice a lack of energy or dysfunction in one chakra I get the psycohlogical sypmtoms of it, eg. a few times after emotinal problems I've felt a void in my solar plexus followed by a significant decrease in self confidence.
I hope to hear from people about this and I'm sure others will benefit from the testimonies given. If possible this thread should become a sticky.
