Yes, I find Maslow's heirarchy of needs matching the first five chakras. These two systems also match the structure of the brain.
The brain is made up of the following:
1) The reptilian brain that handles the physical (e.g. breathing, heart-rate, hunger, sex, fear of physical pain and death etc). This part is located at the bottom of the brain.
2) The limbic system that deals with emotions (e.g. love, bliss, hate, anger, etc). This part is located in the middle part of the brain.
3) The cortex that does the thinking, problem solving, creativity. This is located at the top of the brain.
One can also add to this brain list the pineal gland that does the supernatural or psychic stuff. The sixth chakra?
