i was wondering if there has been any results from studies that have given proof to the existence of chakras and the energy body as well. also where exactly are the seven chakras? do they predate hinduism in any other culture? did the dravidians (the people taken over by the nomadic caste system having people that made hinduism) have any teachings about this stuff? obviously in china there is the chi energy teachings but i believe hinduism predates these teachings, although i could be wrong and records from that long ago are sketchy at best (oral tradition/telephone game...). then the tibetans picked up the energy body/chakra teachings and called prana lung instead but has it been developed independently anywhere?
