base and spleen chakra help

I always consider the Spleen chakra to be at the base of the ribs, just below the sternum, which is adjacent to the spleen itself.

The navel chakra, or sacrum chakra is at the navel and is also the Hara of karate and Tan Tien of Kung Fu.

The Bade chakra, for me, is at the perenium, between the scrotum and the penis, for a woman it is the G-Spot. It is also associated with the soles of the feet and coxxys too. It just depends which system you adhere to I suppose.

To warm them up, I put my hands on them. It works quite well. Spleen chakra is also good for breathing through, imagine that you can draw breath in and out of the chakra itself, takes a lot of practice. When it wakens it feels like a shiver running through it.

For the base chakra you can hold your testicles and warm them up first, it helps relax the base chakra. Then again breath in and out through it. This is standard taoist tantra stuff, so don't worry that it comes from some new age freak.

Good luck and let me know how it goes. Don't expect results immediately, it takes dedication and practice.

hello, i have been practising NEW for about 2 months and usually have no problems finding and stimulating  the rest of my chakras, but the spleen and especially  the base chakra seem to elude me......

1)  is the spleen chakra AT the bellybutton, or slighty below it? as i have read they are at both locations.

2)  is the base chakra AT the bottom of the spine, or the bottom of the coxxys,  and how deep is it into your body ??

suggestions are appreciated
