H is for Heart - additions

Easy enough is that I went to McNeese from 2000-2004.  Stage Combat was a theater class that I took.  It sounds like what it is.  It is learning to fight for the stage. It is learning that the fighting and sword fighting in movies is not real, but choreographed.  However, the teacher in that glass was a really high up person in the Martial Arts fields.  He was known as a grand dragon.

I'm not completely sure how to explain chakra, so I'll post from Wikipedia.  It says, "The concept of chakra originates in Hindu texts and features in tantric and yogic traditions of Hinduism and Buddhism. Its name derives from the Sanskrit word for "wheel" or "turning"
The chakras are believed to be a number of wheel-like vortices which, according to traditional Indian medicine, exist in the surface of the subtle body of living beings. The chakras are said to be "force centers" or whorls of energy permeating, from a point on the physical body, the layers of the subtle bodies in an ever-increasing fan-shaped formation. Rotating vortices of subtle matter, they are considered focal points for the reception and transmission of energies. Different belief systems posit a varying number of chakras; the best-known system in the West has seven chakras.
It is typical for chakras to be depicted as either flower-like or wheel-like. In the former case, "petals" are shown around the perimeter of a circle. In the latter, spokes divide the circle into segments making the chakra resemble a wheel (or "chakra"). Each chakra possesses a specific number of segments or petals.
Texts describing the chakras go back as far as the later Upanishads, for example the Yoga Kundalini Upanishad."

We also did aura sight and that is the colors around the human body that are supposed to tell about a person.  This was featured in an episode of "Boy Meets World," I think.
