The chakras are of importance only in the Hindu religion. They are not an objective phenomenon naturally affecting every human being on earth equally. The Judeo-Christian tradition doesn't depend on psychic organs or faculties such as chakras or other psychic powers; rather the emphasis is on faith, prayer, the scriptures, and the truth. Hinduism is not a religion of faith - only the religions stemming from Abraham would be. It is a serious error to equate faith and religion for each and every religion on the planet.
