Many books have been written about spirituality. Reading them can be very inspiring. But reading cannot replace the actual experience of spirituality.

Can you live by reading cooking books alone?

Experiencing spirituality is usually not found in dry techniques, like cleaning or energizing your cakras. These techniques sometimes bring you special experiences, but mostly they can bring you out of balance. They are dangerous if you don't know very well how to do it and why you do it that way. If you want to develop yourself spiritually, cleaning your cakras should be an additional technique only, besides your meditation (see below). It can be something that helps you to do meditation better.
