You’re going to always not know what to expect, working on your senses here you’re turning them for the energetic layer here, you have to project and then work on your senses in the projection for it to adjust to the plane you’re in.
when youre in the astral you work on your clairs so they can perceive it
when you’re here you work on them so they can perceive the energy around you here
I dont use the chakra system often. Instead I use the Qliphoth as energy points to help and empower my workings. I have adapted the spheres in my body as a reminder of the law of energy which states Microcosm=Macrocosm or As Above So Below
