Is the theory on chakras really inconvenient for people working with kundalini?

Master Osho says that chakras exist because the process of energy in the individual realm is not enough clean. That the function of chakras is to process such an energy. So the number of chakras as well as their location, colors, and so on, vary from individual to individual. This view sounds interesting but a little bothering for those following a given framework. He speaks also of imaginary chakras that are created with mind power (a maya expression) by those who use imaginery instead of feeling...

I don't know if he is taking things sensu strictori or just rhetorical. Is there someone who can comment?

I think the best method to avoid kundalini disorders is to following the instruction of the path and the Guru's. Eat healthy, chant, and meditate according to ones capacity. There are many stories of negative kundalini awakening. Upon further investigation many of the individuals were not following the guidlines. One should not attempt kundalini awakening unless one is ready to follow the strict regimine of a kundalini Guru. Most people cant do it. The general instructions for yoga are good for the masses and many have kundalini awakening. Many have kundalini awakening yet fail to strive for full liberation. The kundalini falls back to muladhara or becomes dormant again. These people are still in ego consciousness and use kundalini experience to feel important etc or set up a school of yoga or get followers etc. When in separateness the small "i" seeks experiences. When the 'i' dissovles in samadhi there is no experiencer or experience, there is just the One Consciousness. Dissolve the "i"in the amrita of samadhi. Seeking anything is still seeking and means one is still in bondage and samsara.

Premature Kundalini emergence is quite common even for people who have no connection with a Guru. I have met with and counseled some. It is usually only 'negative' for them until they learn that their experiences are a normal part of the spiritual unfolding process. For others, there are therapists who experienced in both Kundalini and in psychiatric disorders.

Also, there is no such thing as negative Kundalini there is only Kundalini that moves through the wrong nadi or intermittently rises and cycles between Muladhara and Anahata, or meets obstacles imposed by lifestyle or attitude, or arises because of life traumas or intense experiences.

Pranam,
One who is truly dwell in the astral or causal conciseness (turia) knows the truth of chakras of micro cosmic plane. It’s just causal charge buoyancy and its applications. One who does not dwell in the realm of finer conciseness planes can’t fathom the intricacy of chakras process of operation. Normally dwellers of lower planes can experience few manifested radiation of the charge conciliation and reconciliations with in and out of the micro cosmic realm. Unfortunately I don’t belong to the higher realm as a sat guru to understand the explanations of Guru Osho, but I know so what ever He say must be correct, just very few who dwell in the proximate realm can understand truly. Rest of us can owe and work hard to grow up to higher plane of understanding.
