The second part describes five “new” chakras (also called transpersonal chakras) which many people are gradually beginning to discover today: the ALTER MAJOR - the BASE – the HARA** – the UNCONDITIONAL LOVE CENTRE and the THIRD EYE**. They have been known to healers for some time and give insight into three important aspects for the development of humanity in the 21st century.  An understanding of these NEW chakras: 1. Clarifies several misunderstandings about names** and functions of the seven main chakras and expands our understanding about the complexity of the interconnections between psycho-somatic and body-symptoms.  For example: **Very often the chakras Solar Plexus and Hara, as well as Brow and Third Eye are used interchangeably. Such confusion does not necessarily lead to greater clarity in this field. 2. Offers explanations for many rifts and conflicts in our society. It shows why old patterns of behaviour are obsolete and the need to consider much more seriously the basic findings of psychology as, for instance, to recognise and avoid the very common habit of projecting one’s own negative emotions on others. 3. Helps to increase human awareness and can heal malfunctions between mind, body and soul.
