Although my original views on life and creation is different than it once was (christianity) I still get an eerie feeling about this type of exercise.
I know I could research it, but could someone just explain briefly what it is and it's purpose? Thanks.
I'm also coming from a christian background, this kind of chakra and energy healing was very strange and foreign to me. But over the years I've learned a lot, and there is really nothing to be afraid of, even for a christian
According to tradition:
The chakras are centers of energy within your own body. They are a natural part of your own body, as natural as your hands and feet and all your organs. The chakras are within the energy body. The energy body is a part of the physical body (think of all the energy your brain produces, you have an energetic part to your body!)
This energy body is essential to life, is an essential part of every natual process within your body, and it it comes 'first'. If anything comprises your energy body, then your physical body has been comprised. It's believed that phsyical diseases are FIRST manfiested as a disease in the energy body.
The chakra/energy system function a lot like the nervous system. There is a delicate web connecting all of your chakra points spanning your entire body. The major chakras are intimately connected to all of your major organs.
Your chakra body isn't just essential to the health of your physical body. They are also a part of your emotional 'body' as well. Not only does each chakra relate to one or many organs, each chakra also relates to a type of emotion or being.
Sounds confusing doesn't it? But you've experienced it before! Imagine being nervous and anxious! Where did you feel this anxiety? In your gut right? Butterflies in the stomach? That's the solar plexus chakra. Or ever been so angry, your throat tightens up? There's a chakra there too. And it literally means you're angry because you aren't voicing your opinion!
The point I am trying to get at is, according to this tradition, chakras are a natural part of your body. It's not like magick, or summoning some sort of power outside of your self. It's just the opposite, this would be your God-given power.
Just like we can comprimise our body, we can comprismise our chakras. Sometimes our chakras need healing. The benefit is, as we heal our chakras and allow the energy to flow in them freely, we heal ourselves. And the energy that flows through the chakras? That is pure spirtiual energy that is.
And if you use this pure spiritual energy to do "bad" things, well you create a block in your chakras that limits how much energy you can recieve. So by design, chakras are "good" and never "bad"
But what do I know? I'm still a chakra noob 
oh yeah and, thanks guys for posting your experiences! I've been wanting to do chanting with chakra work. But I can't find any privacy these days :/
