If by Centres you mean “Chakras” these are seven:
1. The thousand-petalled lotus on the top of the head.
2. In the middle of the forehead — the Ajna-Chakra — (Will, Vision, Dynamic Thought). It is not called the psychic eye.
3. Throat-Centre — Externalizing mind.
4. Heart-lotus — Emotional Centre in front, Psychic behind it.
5. Navel — Higher Vital (Proper) Centre.
6. Below Navel — Lower Vital Centre.
7. Muladhar — Physical Centre.
All the Centres are in the middle of the body, not on left or right; they are supposed to be attached to the spinal cord; but in fact all these things are in the Sukshma Deha, though one has the feeling of their activities as if in the physical body when the consciousness is awake.
