Chakras

Seven gates in the subtle body. The old maps agree with each other suspiciously well.

The chakra system's documented history complicates its universality: the now-standard seven-chakra scheme comes from a specific 16th-century text (the Ṣaṭcakranirūpaṇa), popularized through Woodroffe's 1919 translation and blended with Western esotericism (documented by scholars like Wallis) — older texts give five, six, or other counts. The cross-cultural 'agreement' the lore cites is substantially a 20th-century synthesis. The node files the actual textual lineage under the claim, linked to kundalini and the subtle-body thread.
