One thing that has always perplexed me about chakras, and hopefully someone can answer this for me, because I haven't found any satisfactory answers to date; why is it necessary for centers that are allegedly non-physical in nature, to have physical locators?

For example, why is the "root" chakra at the base of the spine rather than the solar plexus? Or, why is the "third eye" chakra not where the "brow" chakra should be? Would an alien that had a completely different set up of organs have a different arrangement of chakras? Apparently they have SOME sort of connection with the physical body, else why would the "sexual chakra" be right where the genitals are? Or how about invertabrates -- what would their chakra system look like? Would they still have seven?

As you can see, I have alot of questions about chakras. I think there is something to them, but from what I've seen, they appear to be a little understood phenomena. If someone has any of these answers, please share them with me. I'm very curious. PM me if you like, or just post it in this thread. I want to understand. I get somewhat tired of people religiously quoting their functions without explaining why they exist in accordance with the how. I would be especially interested in hearing what individuals who have conscious connections to the ethereal or nonphysical world have to say, posing these questions to their various sources.
