Hi well the chakras I've opened iI can feel whenever i focus on them even slightly. I opened them by visualizing them in me instead of just the chakra itself. Some you can even do with your eyes open. I love using the heart chakra too so some advice to you is to probably just keep focusing on...
That is deep and i agree totally that xian bs is doing the same thing with my family I know you want to make them see where the real right is, but so many things have been crammed into people's head that they just aren't able to recover from the como se dice "brainwashing".
