I often get told by people that they don't like my practice because I work with chakras. I often get "You need to be Hindu to work with chakras." which sounds absurd to someone in the new age movement. It sounds to me like I have to walk around with misaligned chakras. If it is a part of your soul it seems very arbitrary for a certain religion to gatekeep it from you. There are stories online of people who opened their third eye and were scared by seeing ghosts and stuff, but the third eye in those cases usually stops functioning and it makes them go back to normal.
Also kundalini is something that in Hinduism is seen as super dangerous and serious for those who are messing with it without a guru. At the same time you hear new age spiritualists talking casually like "I have had multiple kundalini awakenings." which a Hindu would find outrageous. While I personally sometimes felt a little bit of energy coming from the bottom of the spine, I wouldn't say this is a proper kundalini awakening because a real kundalini awakening would feel like a nuclear bomb was dropped on your body. Please don't try that because if you manage to have a kundalini awakening you can't take it back. Unless you dedicated your life to spirituality don't even touch it.
