... or more. :) Waldo Vieira says at least thirty of significance (from personal experiment), a teacher of mine said Cindy Dale's 32-chakra system definitely had something to it, and Greenwell, in combing the scriptures, came up with a possible total of 43, but many minor ones included in that.

As for the crown/Sahasrara, it certainly doesn't behave like the other chakras, but I still believe it can be opened with practices in itself. (It does depend on the state of one's conscience.) The opening of it doesn't mean divine union 'sat-chit-ananda' occurs immediately at that moment IMO, but simply that it becomes possible. In kundalini the skull plates can shift to help energy through the crown. There is more beyond the bodily crown. Just my opinion though.
