Are the chakras the points of contact between the physical body and the etheric body, where the consciousness of the soul resides?

definition
"Chakras are not the seats of the soul but subtle contact fields where the physical and etheric bodies intertwine, serving as dynamic junctions of energy rather than fixed points of consciousness."
According to Osho, chakras are not physical organs or seats of the soul’s consciousness but subtle contact fields where the physical and etheric bodies meet; yoga calls these centers chakras, and the linking, dynamic field is kundalini. In ordinary people there are about five such touch-points. They cannot be found anatomically; they are experiential energy junctions coordinating interaction rather than housing consciousness.
Chakras are invisible meeting spots between your body and its energy body, linked by kundalini—they’re not places where a soul sits and you can’t see them like organs.
Why this matters practically
- Stop searching for anatomical spots; cultivate felt-sense of energy fields.
- Orient practice to awakening and harmonizing kundalini, the linking field.
- Use meditation and breath to sensitize to the five contact points in daily life.
