As the above diagram illustrates, there is not just one but at least four distinct series of centers of processing of subtle energy. This are often confused, especially in a lot of New Age material which does not distinguish between the Tantric chakras and the Taoist centers of circulation of energy. The secondary (Taoist) centers are much more easily accessed than the primary (Tantric) chakras, and would seem to pertain to the etheric principle. For practical notes on working with these energies, see Some notes on Working with Chakra Energies and Energy Balancing The following table lists all the chakras that are described on this site.
