For me they are wisdoms that connect to your well-being, and by embracing them you get to experience a whole different kind of existence. Whether they exist with the certainty some argue is by all means questionable, mostly because there is a place in which becomes very abstract when the mind tries to translate it. To some they find God here, others experience chakras and so forth. But beyond this imaginative realm that the mind cannot fully grasp is the essence of life; something that is within understanding yet beyond conception. Each system of belief have its own way of addressing this, tantra used chakras as a tool to guide one to the greatest experience of this. Christianity uses Christ
