People resonate when you use their model (rather than your own) whether it's chakras and "woo-woo" or more established typed language. 2. Traditional models, such as chakras and qi, are tried and proven by virtue of having been around so long. If they didn't work, nobody would be using them. The persuasion model (traditionally called "rhetoric") taught in Western culture goes by different names--that a persuader should appeal to ethos, pathos and logos, now known as credibility, emotion and rationality, or more simply, and back to chakras, head, heart and gut. 3. All nominalizations, whether "third chakra" or "goal" or "happiness", require the listener to go inside and access their feelings. This is the power of the Milton model of communication.

Irregardless of the now passing need to question what comes after, I appreciate you taking a moment to post. :-)

I enjoy your posts, and I'm not picking on you, because you surely are not alone. But, for some reason, I grit my teeth every time I hear spoken or read the word 'irregardless'.

I'm going to have to read and research this again. As someone who has just started looking into the chakra thing and a Psychology/NlP student they are fascinating areas for comparison.
