When you hear “incoherent energy flow,” what do you picture? Yes, it looks just like that. Instead of a smooth and steady flow in a harmonious pattern, it’s “fritzy,” glitchy. There is a lot of white noise and static. When this sort of “stress” accumulates in the energy field, processing energy becomes effortful and inefficient for the chakras.
