The chakras, like the godai, are a model of consciousness
They are not to be taken too literally or too seriously
They do not actually exist in the sense they are organs or energy centres, which don't actually exist in the physical world
They are ways to manifest emotions into physical Kamae and then into technique
Following this basic guide to the godai
