Chakra awakening is highly a debatable topic
with two distinctly different schools of thought. The answer could be
“Yes” or “No”
depending upon which school of thought you are trained in.

Firstly
let's cover the side that would say
“Yes” to helping you share the experience of Chakra awakening. There is no shortage of detailed information
made available by enlightened Yoga enthusiasts like Anodea Judith.

Anodea Judith has made a Chakra balancing kit available
which gives a tour of the seven main Chakra system
detailed exercises
meditations
a workbook
and the path to Chakra awakening. She also has more books available
confers with other enlightened Yoga enthusiasts
and teaches workshops on this very subject.

There are many other books and CD's on this subject by a variety of knowledgeable authors and enlightened Yoga practitioners. All of this information is easy for the public to "get their hands on." So
here is a school of thought that believes this information should be shared and has gone out of its way to mass produce this information.

On the other hand
some Yoga teachers do not want the negative and positive qualities
within each Chakra
to be casually explored by students
without a competent Yoga teacher present. This is with the student's safety in mind.

Furthermore
the amount of previous Yoga experience a student has is a factor in being able to control emotions
such as fear
lust
anger
and depression that can come boiling to the surface as a result of a Chakra awakening.

When
or if
a student is ready for Chakra awakening
should be determined by the teacher; this is not for every student. Some students put pressure on themselves
which may lead to anxiety
causing negative qualities of the Chakras to surface
during an awakening.

In summary: One of the results of steady Yoga training is that we can get a better handle on our emotions than most. We also realize that we are not enlightened or perfect all the time. If you want to experience Chakra awakening with an enlightened Yoga enthusiast
you should seek out a competent Yoga teacher
who is willing to help you.

You could also get similar guidance from a Reiki teacher or Reiki master. Reiki teachers are very familiar with the Chakra system and very helpful. If it is not possible to work with a Reiki master
and you have been regularly practicing Yoga for at least two years
the Chakra balancing kit
I mentioned above
gives you step-by-step guidance toward awakening the Chakras.

Lastly
this is not a race
and please don't put pressure on yourself toward self-perfection.
