HAPPINESS. PEACE. CLARITY. INSPIRATION.
You can experience these more often with a simple process called Deeksha, coming for the first time to Hawaii Jan 20-25.

What is Deeksha?
Deeksha, which means ?energy transmission? in Sanskrit, is a simple, accessible, dogma-free process that enables you to experience innate, high frequency states. In neuro-physiological terms, it is a very gentle application of hands to the head which shifts energy balances from the central active thinking centers to the frontal lobe calming centers.  This is the area of the brain that is more directly linked to peaceful and blissful mindsets.

What is a Deeksha gathering like?
An informal Deeksha evening can consist simply of a room of diverse people in chairs with soft lights and meditative music in the background. Individuals trained in India and attuned to this energy deliver Deeksha via placement of their hands on the head of each individual for a few moments, one by one. There?s often laughter rippling. People?s experience may be strong or subtle, each according to their own nature. One might experience sensations of warmth and tingling on the head, and feelings can include peace, love, clarity, serenity, freedom from concerns or worries, lightness, a spacious feeling around the head, a feeling of connection spiritually, and blissful, ecstatic states.

Deeksha is a quick and calming process held in a friendly environment, and there is no religion or politics or selling involved. To learn more about the process of Deeksha, please see http://www.trueawakening.org. For workshop info and with any questions, please contact Doug Lindeman, (510) 453-0606, [email protected]
