I gained a lot in terms of opening energy channels from Bruce Gordon’s approach. I did it daily and within a few days had some significant breakthroughs. I practiced daily for a while and then dialed it back after a while.
Its actually been a wee while since I last did this, I think I’ll resume this weekend as its very useful to maintain it

U say like its so easy, how would u go about gathering that much energy in the muladhara and force the Kunda to rise? Is there such a simple method?
It’s really not that difficult visualisation, tactile imaging and some great breath work such as pranayama. If you want to really exemplify that combine some mantra, mudra and yantra work in your chakra workings, which seriously exemplify things overall.

What about invoking a entity into the Chakra till it explodes together with pranayama chanting the entities name as a mantra, Mudra, yantra work?

This is not necessary and simultaneously would be quite dangerous besides, there are already entities within the chakras so just vibrate their mantra and the corresponding mantra to that chakra side-by-side.

Instead of demanding that everybody presents all the information that you want. You could also take the steps to further investigate the methods that are being revealed to you.

When I started, I started with breath work. Everyone can breathe but not everyone can wait.
That said, it should not take long (weeks to months) to do breath work that increases your sensitivity to your inner energies. At that point, you will be able to connect to your eye more consistently.
The presence of entities can help this, but are ultimately better at showing you an energy that allows you to build a bridge to that energy with your own skills or with other tools like beats.
Taoists do what’s called “throat friction”. This is breathing so you make a sound like a beach wave in your throat, that sounds the same as it goes in and out of your body. The throat chakra activates spontaneously from this, and then activates other part of your body. The works of Mantak Chia can be a guide.
As you breathe, notice your breath on your throat, or alternatively, put the tongue on the roof of your mouth on the soft palate, and feel the cold air on the back of your nostrils. Continue to breath naturally, allowing sensations that come to be there. Your body acclimates over time and so you don’t have to strain. Continue to be consistent until you notice your throat’s new sensations, and possibly, energies pooling around your head. Once you feel those energies, be aware of that center in the head as you do throat friction. This builds up the connection.

@PestiferMundi I take it from your thread that you have a hard time feeling energy.
This tutorial here deals with the concept energy manipulation via visualizing said energy in order to link a feeling to it:
Its not about opening chakras, but I think that especially the first exercise can be a helpful step by step guide to get a personal feeling about how energies feel like or look like (or even sound or taste like if you’re wired that way) to you, how they differ, how they interact, how they react. This can be applied to chakra meditation in the long run, in my experience. Every segment has a different kind of quality to it that can be perceived and played around with, once you’ve made yourself familiar with it.
To me personally I always found it super helpful when I could entertain a simple visual impression like a colour or a movement before the channels to “how does it feel like inside my body and where is it located?” opened. Over time this process has turned into instinct, like the way you’re operating a vehicle: you don’t think about it anymore while doing it. Remember the first awful time you’ve operated a bike or a car? Its a bit like that to me 
(for example my breathing exercise is to breathe into a visualized lemniscate instead of simply breathing in and out. following the trace of this symbol with my breathing pattern had to be visualized first before it started to flow naturally and without thinking about it)

Lol yes, I googled Bruce Gordon but I did not find anything However, Robert Bruce’s book(s) are actually quite good, and I would totally recommend ‘energy work.’ Speaking for Bruce… @PestiferMundi can also look into Bruce’s Kundalini course which is quite good.

Can you enlighten us with the knowledge about yoginis and their roles in the chakra.
Yogini’s are said to be sometimes viewed as psychophysical forces of the human body and are the controlling Shakti of the seven chakras, Yoginis can also bestow upon him a special kind of bliss and various siddhis, knowledge. In addition, on the physical level, Yoginis control body substances (dhatu), of which there are also seven: lymph, blood, muscle, fat, bone, marrow, and semen.
Various tantric schools and texts locate the Yoginis in the chakras in different ways. The Yoginis are the resident powers of the chakras, there are various terminologies that have been attributed to the gods/goddesses associated or connected to these major seven chakras, Yoginis, Devis, or just gods/goddesses in general. It is important to remember that not every school of thought has an exact layout of the deities associated with the chakras, because as far as I’ve seen there can be more than one deity associated with a chakra. A great example of this of course is the manipura/solar plexus, many with associate this chakra Lakini, Agni, Vishnu and Varahi.
Whilst others argue over the correct placement, some schools of the yogic and tantric sciences have created or established categories of different ruling forces over one chakra, for example sticking with the manipura. Vishnu is often seen as it’s deity, Varahi can be seen as it’s Devi and Lakini can be seen as it’s Yogini, although still different sub-currents and different ashrams may have different correspondences and associations.
In a more practical setting, the best way to explain this to a more westernised magician is think of the seven chakras as seven unique gateways. These gateways go to seven different dimensions, both internal dimensions of self as well as actual external dimensions/realms. Each of these dimensions has rulers like many of the astral kingdoms that we are aware of there’s usually some sort of established hierarchy, one can view the ruling deity, the presiding Yogini and Devi. Vibrating their mantras, utilisation of certain yantras, mudras, asanas or visualisations of each of them localised on their corresponded chakra allows one to explore and even awaken more dormant properties of that internal dimension/chakra.
This isn’t 100% necessary but it does allow for more deeper explorations into these chakras, in the end you’ll come to that god realisation. That there are more than just those deities that exist inside you, there are more realms and dimensions inside you, like it’s said all devas and all the worlds exist within. You are quite literally the entire physical and spiritual world, inside the actual self/spirit/mind/body, you are the microcosmic emanation of the macrocosm. All the gods exist within you, thus their knowledge and their power is yours anyway, methods such as this allow us to begin to reclaim that for this current self, in this form and this incarnation now.
As far as their roles and more in-depth stuff I suggest doing research not just into the Yogini, The Deities, The Devi, but into the chakras themselves, into the nadis, into the original eastern understanding of the complexity of the metaphysical anatomy, it’s truly fascinating and is much more of a science in my opinion than todays westernised more modern esoteric concepts of the “energy body”.

I second this. Robert Bruce is THE go-to guy for learning how to feel energy. He has a free course on his website with a free ebook called Free Energy Ways. If you do his suggested practices, you WILL feel energy fairly quickly.
Remember that energy is REAL. You don’t have to imagine, visualize, or anything else. It moves where your attention moves. And you will feel this very real energy with practice.
Although DarkestKnight is correct about raising the Kundalini as a method of igniting all your chakras, I would highly suggest not attempting it until you can physically feel energy and have cleared out any blockages you might have. I would also never force a kundalini activation as it can lead to serious health and mental consequences for those who haven’t prepared for it.

My response may be the simplest way to help you feel energy.
Place your open palms in front of you and draw them closer but do not touch them. You may feel at some point a sensation of a slight breeze or coolness. This is Chi which is your bodies energy field and all living beings have this.
Once you feel this, work with your hands in the areas starting at the base chakra and work up to your crown, and hover your hand at that spot one at a time. This may help the chakra start to “spin” more rapidly and try to envision that when your hands are in these positions.
You may find at some point you have a blockage which may be why you are not feeling energy at this time, but I am not saying that this is the cause, simply something to look out for.
