I’ve been exploring what’s being called the 13th chakra, and I’m noticing there’s a lot of mixed information out there. Some of it feels insightful, and some of it feels like it’s being repeated without much personal experience behind it. For a little context, I’ve worked closely with a 12-chakra system for several years. It took real time, practice, and paying attention to my own body and energy before I felt confident in each chakra—where it’s located, how it functions, and how it connects to the whole system. Because of that, I’m not in a rush to define a 13th chakra just because it’s being talked about more lately. What’s interesting to me is that when I look at this through a more practical and scientific lens—how systems organize, how the nervous system and energy field communicate, how integration actually happens—the idea of a 13th chakra doesn’t feel random. It feels more like something that may come online after the system is stabilized, rather than something that’s always active. I’ve been sitting with it in meditation, noticing where awareness naturally goes, and paying attention to what actually changes instead of what I think should happen. A few themes are starting to show up, but this feels less like a “new chakra” you activate and more like something that reveals itself through embodiment and consistency. I’m really curious how others here see it: • Do you experience the 13th chakra as a physical location, or more as a function or shift? • Do you feel it’s part of the chakra system, or something that happens once the system is coherent? • What personal experience has shaped your understanding? I’m not looking to repeat popular explanations i’m more interested in what people have actually observed for themselves looking forward to hearing your perspectives.
