This is an exercise Judith recommends in order to experience what a chakra "feels" like. It is said to open the hand chakras and allow you to feel their energy. i think you can also feel this if you rub your hands together rapidly, creating heat. Try it for yourself. 

Extend both arms out in front of you, parallel to the floor with elbows straight. Turn one palm up and one palm down. Now quickly open and close your hands twenty times or so. Reverse your palms and repeat. This opens the hand chakras. To feel them, open your hands and slowly bring your palms together, starting at about two feet apart and moving slowly to a few inches. When your hands are about four inches apart you should be able to feel a subtle ball of energy, like a magnetic field, floating between your palms. If you tune in closely, you may even be able to feel the spinning quality. After a few moments the sensation will subside, but can be repeaed by opening and closing the palms again as above.
