Exact location of chakras

[beavis]

I'll only list 2 of them now, you talk about the rest...

"third eye": about 1 centimeter (cm, 0.4 inch) above the center of the front middle of my eyes, about 7 millimeters (mm) deep into my head.

"dantien": about 4 cm below the center of my nipples (dont get horny, i'm a man!) and 2.5 cm deep.

Also, this isnt one of the 7 main chakras, but the areas of skin just below my knee caps (1 cm deep), and the palms of my hands, have a lot of energy.

They have exact locations? Well... they'd definitely vary person to person (different body sizes). Considering some people think they can open and close, shrink and grow... that might change the location as well.

Honestly I think it's all just visualization, or corresponding to the spine or brain or organs in some way, if anything.

Just as some people have muscles that others don't, all people's bodies aren't exactaly the same.

The seven chakra's corolate with ganglia of nerves in the body.  There are way more than 7 of them, too.

First chakra is the base, located in the coxys at the end of the spine.
The second is the navel, located behind the navel.
The third is the solar plexus, loacated at the bottom of the sternum.
The forth is the heart, located about 2/3rds of the way up the mediastium.
The fifth is the throat, located at the adams apple.
The sixth is the 3rd eye, located at the center of the brow.
The seventh is the crow, located on the top of the head.

Those are the 7 major chakras.  Each bundle of nerves is about the size of the palm of you hand, exept in the solar plexus and the brain.  Those area are actualy larger (Solar Plexus and Crown Chakras).

There is a way to know were your personal chakra are: feel them.  It sounds either very hard to do, or way too easy, huh?  It's not.

It may sound odd, but lick the back of your hand.  Do it now.  Now close your eyes and feel the moisture on the back of your hand.  Can you feel where the cool evaporation is taking place?  Can you feel the air on your skin?  Don't think about it.  There's nothing to think about.  Just feel.  You may only be able to focus ont he feeling for a moment, but you'll know you've got it.  If you even suspect you've got it, and second guess yourself, then you've probalbly got it.  Practice that feeling.  Then do it to the areas that your chakras are in.

Understand that Attention and Intention move energy in your body.  Make it your intention of activate the chakras and put your attention to the area.  Combine that with focus.  It's that simple.

The area below your knee that you may be talking about could be the 36th tsubo (energy vortex or 2ndary chakra) on the stomach meridian in oriental medicine.  That's a good point for balanceing overall energy flow and for giving yourself an "energy boost" during the day.

Hope that helps some.

Is it odd that I've been meditating on my sub naval chakra and meditating on it for 2-3 months and I still can't feel a damn thing?

How are you meditating on it?

About the muscle comment, are you sure on that? People have a different balance of fast/slow-twitch fibres in the muscles, and are naturally stronger or weaker, longer or shorter, in the different muscles, but I would think lacking a muscle or having an additional muscle than the norm would be an abnormal mutation, one I have not heard of. Where do you get this from?

I am sorry but chakras are not physical,you dont have chakras in your physical body,then how can you know where they are exactly located?Chakras are in your astral bodies,in case you didnt know...

I had the same problem with muladara, so what I did was just ask it gently to appear when I was doing energy work. It ran, indeed.

I find this to be very fun and informative, it's too bad RB doesn't use things like licking in NEW (I think the revised version has you lick your lips, which is neat). Licking is so much more fun than scratching, although in cases like your elbow, you'll have to scratch unless you're an amazing contortionist. Then again, if you're doing NEW with a partner you could lick wherever you wanted. Ahh... the Kama Sutra...

Some people have an extra muscle in their leg.  I don't remember off hand right now, and I'm too lazy to drive to my house and get the book, but there is a muscle in the leg that only a few people have, and in the arm, too if I'm not mistaken.  Check it out, man.  There are all sorts of crazy things that go on.  Some people have tumors with freakin' teeth.  Don't doubt anything.

I've seen a giant eye-shaped third-eye between the middle once.

Looked weird with eyes closed.
