What is the soul and how may I approach it?

I'm curious, what about that model of consciousness do you find appealing?

Personally, I find that it segments the self rather than unifies it the way the energy center model seems to do.  That is, expansion of consciousness is encoded in the body and is available through the balancing of the impulses and gyrations of the lower centers.  Maybe it's just a personal thing, but I have found this other model more detached (one part from another) and so harder to work with.  Have you found it to be otherwise?
