Dr. King's explanation about chakras:

 

"So these tiny whirlpools of energy do exist, but not in the physical body, but they pass through the physical body of man. And they actually exist in the aura or etheric counterparts of man.

You know, around each individual there is—in fact round all things living, which means all things—there is an aura, or a subtle counterpart. And this subtle counterpart is an exact replica of the physical—only it’s on different levels of energy, or different levels of existence, at one and the same time. And it is an energy counterpart, although—I must stress this so that you will learn correctly—even though you cannot see or touch the aura with your physical eyes or fingers, it is physical. It is a physical energy. Not as physical as electricity, for instance, but nevertheless it is physical.

So, the aura is a physical body. You must get that straight. The whole foundation of metaphysics can be upset within your own mind if you don’t have that straight.

Some spiritualists who do not understand this business at all, who do not understand occultism, seem to believe that the aura is some vague, spiritual, God-made thing. Well, it may be God-made—all things are—but it’s not vague at all, and it is physical energy-matter, or matter and energy. So these psychic centers, then, are whirlpools of tremendous energy which exist in the aura."
