&lt;p&gt;      &lt;span class="postbody"&gt;Hello - My name&amp;#39;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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 &amp;ldquo;all that is&amp;rdquo; - 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.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;ve been receiving Deeksha myself for about eighteen months now and have found it a very powerful experience. There have been times when I&amp;#39;ve found myself transported effortlessly into what Eckhart Tolle might call &amp;ldquo;the now&amp;rdquo; - on one occasion, for a couple of days at a time. Spontaneous enlightenment can occur with Deeksha, but for most of us it isn&amp;#39;t a quick fix, more a push in the right direction. The lasting change I&amp;#39;ve found is that I now keep in mind the various spiritual teachings I&amp;#39;ve learnt on a day to day basis, instead of forgetting all about them for weeks on end. A lot of the time I&amp;#39;m still in my old mindset, but I&amp;#39;m aware now of the way I&amp;#39;m reacting and how it might be changed.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; I&amp;#39;ve written about Deeksha at greater length in the latest post on my blog, &lt;a href="http://secretoflife.typepad.com/the_secret_of_life/2007/02/deeksha.html" target="_blank"&gt;The Secret of Life&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;nbsp; where you&amp;#39;ll find links to Deeksha sites. These have details of how to obtain Deeksha locally. If you&amp;#39;d like to know any more about Deeksha then please ask. I&amp;#39;ll be happy to try and help. - Simon&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
