How to Use Chakra Attacks

Chakras are eight points in the human body through which spiritual energy flows, according to Eastern theory, and with concentration you can open up the chakra points and experience your body in new and different ways. While often meant for healing and balance, the chakra can theoretically be used for attack purposes as well. When discussing a chakra attack, what you are doing is attempting to use the natural energy of your chakra to add more force to a physical strike, a technique seen in some Eastern martial arts.

Instructions

1. Learn the chakras and the associated hand positions assigned to each of them. When you concentrate on opening your chakras, your fingers should be held in a certain pattern that helps you concentrate on the specific chakra. You must be able to meditate and to open up your own chakra points reliably before you can direct the energy in them outward. Learn how to access the points, how to relax and meditate. Then you can move on to directing chakra energy outward from yourself.

2. Access a chakra point that is appropriate for a style of physical attack. For instance, the heart chakra would be an appropriate chakra to open and focus on if you wanted to direct energy like heat or strong emotion into a punch meant to inflict more damage. Opening the third-eye chakra would be more appropriate if you were attempting to attack for pinpoint precision, such as hitting a target at a very specific location by placing the strike area of a punch into the exact spot where the ribcage ends above the stomach. Concentrate on that chakra and make sure that it's completely open to you and that you are accessing the energy from it.

3. Strike your target. What you're doing is putting the energy of your body, as well as the energy of your chakra, behind the blow. If you're striking with a punch or a kick, it doesn't matter, as long as you can remain perfectly focused throughout and feel the flow of energy from your chakra through the attack.
