SPOILERS AHEAD FOR THE MARVEL NETFLIX SHOWS AND STRANGER THINGS
That makes sense. The pits in both the Marvel Netflix shows and in Stranger Things were essentially portals for some dark malevolent force trying to get through into our world. Hmmm... thinking about it in a little more depth:
Stranger Things - the portal to the Upside Down. It's where the monsters are coming from, but it's also where Eleven got her powers of telepathy and telekinesis (Hmm...).
Marvel shows - At the bottom of the pit was a chamber housing the skeleton of an ancient dragon that The Hand were using as a power source of some kind for their powers of resurrection and eternal life. Another dragon was also the source of Iron Fist's power. He was trained to be nothing more than a living weapon - a slave to protect Kun Lun (however it's spelled) but has broken his vow to be its protector and instead went to New York where the Hand is based now to fight them directly, as well as to discover and develop his human identity, which had been repressed through his training.
I think I should also mention that all of the superpowers in the Netflix Marvel universe (which are never called superpowers, and the superheroes are never called superheroes, but Gifteds) are presented as the result of trauma or abuse, usually in childhood. As I re-watched the shows I was able to really pick up on a lot of symbolism, much of which I missed the first time through, but the shows are actually incredibly well crafted especially in terms of the psychology. Both heroes and villains are the results of abuse or trauma, the difference is in what attitude they took in response.

Just ran across this video which fits this thread perfectly:

TL;DR - practicing integrity will open all the chakras. Integrity means making your words a reality - the words you speak aloud as well as the ones you speak to yourself inside. Do what you say, say what you mean. It aligns your inner and outer realities.
EDIT - I would add do the things you know you should, though maybe that's included under the words you speak internally to yourself.

Those guys got their infos from Paramahamsa Nithyananda (their guru), who is also on YouTube. Nithyananda talks a lot about integrity. I definitely see the truth behind it.
