shoc-kra

Answer 10

Answers one and two are both right. It can be said with the shock or with more of the CH sound. Or you can just say the six main energy areas of your body.

Answer 11

I've heard it pronounced with a hard "ch" ("chock-ruh") or a soft "ch" ("shock-ruh").  I think either way is fine. It is a silly word after all.
