Hello - My name's Simon and I joined Zaadz a few days ago. I was just writing about Deeksha on my blog and it seemed appropriate to also share it here.
Deeksha is a transfer of energy which has been brought into the world by two avatars in southern India, Sri Bhagavan and Sri Amma. It nurtures a feeling of Oneness - connection with “all that is” - in those who receive it. It dampens down the individual ego and encourages us to think of ourselves as part of the wider family of humanity. The energy is transferred by a laying on of hands, the same as in Reiki or spiritual healing. Indeed, Deeksha itself has a similar healing effect, as well as promoting this helpful change in consciousness. I've been receiving Deeksha myself for about eighteen months now and have found it a very powerful experience. There have been times when I've found myself transported effortlessly into what Eckhart Tolle might call “the now” - on one occasion, for a couple of days at a time. Spontaneous enlightenment can occur with Deeksha, but for most of us it isn't a quick fix, more a push in the right direction. The lasting change I've found is that I now keep in mind the various spiritual teachings I've learnt on a day to day basis, instead of forgetting all about them for weeks on end. A lot of the time I'm still in my old mindset, but I'm aware now of the way I'm reacting and how it might be changed. I've written about Deeksha at greater length in the latest post on my blog, The Secret of Life, where you'll find links to Deeksha sites. These have details of how to obtain Deeksha locally. If you'd like to know any more about Deeksha then please ask. I'll be happy to try and help. - Simon
