This article needs a rewrite

The article is written as truth, and not exactly from a neutral point of view. The tone of the article needs a rewrite. Stuff like

"A result of energetic imbalance between chakras is an almost continuous feeling of dissatisfaction. When the heart chakra is agitated, people lose touch with feelings and sensations, and that breeds the sense of dissatisfaction. That leads to looking outside for fullfilment."

should be written with weasel words "Hindus believe that" or "The belief is that", etc. GofG _|^|_| Talk 02:28, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Are the five lowest chakras related to the buddhist skandhas?

How do they overlap? If at all... How are they related? Etc...

They are entirely unrelated. The skandhas refer to aggregates that make up the self, including form (physical body), sensation, perception, etc, etc. This is used to explain why there is no permanent identity in a person (see anatta), and why Buddhism denies the existence of a soul.
