Many think that it will empower them with more energy and certain capabilities. Although this may occur what is more likely to happen is that they overcharge their nervous system and become a mental wrack or a schizophrenic. Many people in psychiatries are spiritual persons who prematurely stimulated their chakras and could not handle the sudden energy influx. A person I know worked in such a place and he told me that there are quite a few people there who came back from India after intense energy practices. Symptoms were loss of reality, sensitivity, and the like. The doctors didnīt understand what was going on and simply medicated them. This is a sad fate. But it happens constantly because people do not understand the nature of the subtle energy system and how to work with it.
Extreme enthusiasm is one of the dangers on this path. Spiritual development needs patience. It is a gradual development and not some sudden realization! A car does not go from 0-100mph in no time and neither will your spiritual realization. So take your time. Today people are selling activation CDs like McDonalds sells burgers. This is not a wise decision. They need guidance form an experienced person and their motivation for doing this kind of development should not be of an egoistic nature. (for example getting psychic powers to seduce girls or for winning the lottery).
A bit of theoretical study on the chakra system will surly be helpful before you start to work on it. Blind action is worse than no action.
