Basics of Deeksha Blessings
Deeksha (also spelled Diksha) is a concentrated dose of divine grace (blessing), which is, in this case, a divine energy transfer. This ball of energy is transferred to the head, which creates a shift in the brain, allowing you to realize your oneness with all creation. Over time, the result is enlightenment where one feels an incredible oneness with the world, one another and the source itself.
The cause of the majority of suffering in the world is a sense of separation from the world itself. But the pure energy transferred through deeksha helps you realize that this idea is an illusion. Deeksha brings about healing on all levels of one's self: the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
To experience the divine energy transfer of deeksha, you do not need to change your lifestyle or make any vows.The state of mind attained with deeksha is not one that can be attained through personal effort; only someone specifically trained can activate the various centers in the brain with their energy..Since it is a biological event,it can be experienced by anybody.
What Happens During Deeksha?
Deeksha initiates a scientifically measurable neurobiological change in the brain that, when complete, is said to enable the senses to be free from the interference of the mind. When the senses are unclouded by the mind's interpretations, a natural clarity of perception occurs with accompanying spontaneous feelings of joy, inner calmness and connection to the oneness in everything. Deeksha is transferred by the Deeksha-giver who places his/her hands onto your head, usually for about a minute. Experiences during the deeksha vary, sometimes strong, sometimes subtle, sometimes delayed until even days later. The recipient may experience a tingling sensation in the head, or blissful energy flowing through the body, or sometimes nothing at all. Whatever the experience, the recipients are told they can trust that the process of enlightenment has begun, leading to a profound awakening into an all-encompassing awareness of the divine.
The lotus is a central symbol in many Eastern cultures, which consider it to be one of the most sacred plants in the world. Lotus flowers feature in the oldest Egyptian hieroglyphics, antique Chinese ceramics, and Hindu folk stories.
“The lotus is revered in many Asian religions, including Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism,” says Snyder. “It’s often used as a symbol of purity, spiritual awakening, and enlightenment. In Hinduism, the lotus is associated with several deities, like Vishnu and Lakshmi, who are often depicted sitting on or holding the flower. In Buddhism, the lotus is symbolic of the journey to enlightenment; it grows in muddy water but blossoms into a beautiful flower above the surface, representing rising above obstacles and impurities to achieve spiritual purity.”
The lotus position, or padmasana, in yoga and meditation teachings, is a central pose used at both the beginning and end of a flow or practice.
Who Can Receive Deeksha?
Most people over 18 can receive deeksha.The exceptions are pregnant women after 16 weeks and people suffering from serious psychological illness (in which case healing deekshas are given instead.)The transmission of deeksha is accomplished by a trained initiate who has received the transmission and training during a 2 day silent retreat.The deeksha-giver then works as an empty vessel for the energy to transfer to the receiver...
Does Deeksha Belong to any Religion or Belief?
Deeksha does not belong to any religion,nor any particular belief nor spiritual path.Deeksha is given each day to people all over the world,people of all races,all religions,all spiritual beliefs or no spiritual beliefs,and to people of all nationalities.It is not necessary to change one's religion,nor adopt a new guru or spiritual master to receive deeksha. Despite being presented in a new way, deeksha is not new at all but very ancient.Through deeksha one's neurobiology and neurophysical function can be changed,which leads to enlightenment,when all teachings and guidance naturally flow from within.The deeksha energy is transferred into the neocortex of the brain,which re-organises the entire frame work of consciousness.It has its own intelligence,and interfaces with the deepest longings and blueprint of each individual soul to create a new command centre that bypasses the mundane awareness of the mind....for more info www.onenessuniversity.org
Sri Bhagavan says of this process : The mind of man is like a wall,which divides man from God.The deeksha is an elecrical energy that makes a hole in this wall,which we call the mind.Once this happens,then God and man can come to relate to each other.
“The Oneness Blessing has deepened the connection with the eternal that thrives within. It has opened doors and bulldozed through obstacles that create the illusion of separation. Awakening and God Realization are not states to be “gained” or “reached”, they exist within each being, and the Oneness Blessing organically lifts the veil of separation for each individual in its own unique way. It’s more than a Benediction, it’s a gift straight from the Divine which patiently waits for each humans self-realization.” – Ursula Tizon.
The Blessing itself involves a transfer of Divine energy. The person giving the blessing (Blessing Giver / Deeksha Giver) is acting as a conduit for the transfer of divine energy either through the recipients crown chakra ( top of the head ), through the eyes, or it can even be sent with intent, which means the recipient does not have to be physically there in order to receive the blessing and it can be given to large groups of people at the same time.
If a 1000 people in the room are receiving the blessing, it will be felt in a 1000 different ways. Some people don’t have a noticeable reaction at first, only to feel a sudden rush of energy later. Others may experience crying, uncontrollable laughing or experience old feelings that had been buried. Some feel a precence, some a proufound sense (or a state of deep calm, tranquility, and freedom from worry or disturbance, a feeling of inner stillness and contentment, often associated with a lack of stress and a sense of security, a state of mental and emotional stillness.) Of being free from Anxieties, Fears, or self-doubt, a feeling of connectedness with oneself, others, and the world around. There is no “wrong” way or “right” way to experience it. Since the blessing is coming from the divine it has a mind of its own, knowing exactly what part of a person’s programming it needs to be tended to.
The blessing causes a neurobiological shift in the brain which allows for major shifts in perception about the world. There are many ways the blessing has been known to change a person’s life, which include but are not limited to: curing illness, healing relationships, aiding in a spiritual awakening, quieting of mind chatter, higher states of consciousness that exist beyond judgments, inner peace, and dissolving of the false “self” (ego). Because of the wonderful results many have experienced, it is no wonder that many holistic doctors and psychologists alike have started to use the blessing in their practices.
In the book Awakening Into Oneness, naturopathic doctor, Dr. Craig Wagstaff gives a first-hand account of giving the blessing to his patients, “When I give the Oneness Blessing, patients respond better to whatever else I am doing. If I am giving them supplements or a cleanse, doing acupuncture or whatever, if I give the blessing at the same time, the results are much better. The Blessing accelerates the body’s ability to heal itself. Many patients have an imbalance between the hormones that are responsible for the ‘get up and go’ and those that are responsible for shutting down and relaxing, digesting their food, having a good rest. Most of these people are wound a few notches too tight; their adrenal system is affecting their blood pressure, causing anxiety and insomnia. As to switch from alarm mode to a more balanced relaxed function. An unhealthy person is like an ill-tuned piano. The Oneness Blessing is working on a very high level to get the whole system in tune. The more in tune the body gets, the healthier it becomes.” "After reading the book, I decided to check if there were any blessing givers in my area. Much to my surprise I found several groups online where I could get the Deeksh Blessing. I attended 3-4 groups and didn’t really feel much at first, but intuitively just kept going back. Then one day, I was sitting at home, reading, when I felt a rush of energy surge through my body. My mind was suddenly silent, like the little voice that is constantly commentating on everything in my head just shut off. I experienced true silence and stillness for the first time. After that day It was like surgery had been done on my brain or the programming that was installed in my brains computer had fixed itself. I never had the overwhelming urge to stress or overthink. The only way I can explain it is that my level of consciousness rose to such a level that things like stress or overthinking no longer resonated with my new vibration, therefore no willpower was involved. They just didn’t sound good to me anymore, and just like that, the urge to do either was completely gone."
The Oneness Blessing, also known as Diksha or Deeksha, is a direct transfer of intelligent sacred energy, which initiates a shift in perception and the realization that the sense of a separate self is an illusion. This is not just another concept, but an experience of oneness with all of creation and with the Divine Presence.
The Oneness Blessing initiates a neurobiological change in the brain. There are 16 centers in the brain responsible for definitive experiences like sensory perception, emotions of jealousy, hatred, fear, compassion, love, joy, separation, connectedness, creativity, learning, etc. The Oneness Blessing results in the activation of certain centers and the deactivation of certain other centers, thus bringing about a shift in the perception and experience of life. This change causes the heart to flower and the mind to quiet.
The Oneness Blessing frees the senses from the constant chatter of the mind, bringing clarity and spontaneous feelings of love, joy, peace and inner silence. This change in perception dissolves negative patterns, releases traumas stored at the cellular and energetic levels, and facilitates deep emotional physical healing. Eventually the process brings a permanent end to personal suffering and full Awakening to the very highest states of consciousness.
Deeksha, also known as the Oneness Blessing, is a spiritual practice that aims to bring about inner transformation and heightened states of consciousness. The word “Deeksha” originates from Sanskrit and translates to “benediction” or “blessing.” This unique energy transfer is believed to help individuals awaken to higher levels of awareness, creating shifts in their emotional, mental, and spiritual states. At the heart of the practice is the goal of unity consciousness, where one experiences a profound sense of connection with all of existence.
The Origins of Deeksha
Deeksha has its roots in India, specifically within the Oneness University, which was founded by Sri Bhagavan and Sri Amma in the early 1980s. The couple, referred to as the “Divine Avatars,” had a vision of creating a new world where human beings could live in harmony and experience oneness with themselves, others, and the universe. According to their teachings, the cause of suffering is the mind’s tendency to create separation and division, leading individuals to feel isolated from the greater whole.
Sri Bhagavan and Sri Amma began transmitting Deeksha as a form of energy transfer to help individuals dissolve the mind’s conditioning and awaken to a state of unity. Though Deeksha is non-denominational and accessible to people of all spiritual paths, it has been particularly embraced by those seeking deeper connection, healing, and inner peace.
The Process and Its Effects
Deeksha is unique in that its effects are said to be different for each individual, depending on where they are in their spiritual journey. For some, the initial experience may be subtle—a gentle sense of peace or relaxation—while for others, it can be profound, sparking immediate shifts in awareness. Over time, as individuals receive Deeksha consistently, they may experience:
Dissolution of mental conflict: Deeksha helps clear the mind of incessant thinking, allowing for a sense of stillness and presence.
Emotional healing: Blocked or suppressed emotions may surface and be released, leading to greater emotional freedom.
Heightened awareness: Many people report a deeper awareness of their surroundings, themselves, and their spiritual connection.
Spiritual awakening: Over time, recipients of Deeksha may awaken to a higher state of consciousness where they experience oneness with the universe.
Scientific Interest in Deeksha
Though Deeksha is primarily a spiritual practice, it has piqued the interest of the scientific community. Researchers studying the effects of Deeksha have found that it may influence the brain’s functioning, particularly the frontal lobes, which are associated with empathy, self-reflection, and transcendental experiences.
Preliminary studies using brain imaging technology have shown that Deeksha can alter brainwave activity, leading to heightened states of awareness similar to those observed in deep meditation or mystical experiences. While more research is needed, these findings suggest that Deeksha has measurable effects on the brain and consciousness.
The Story of Transformation
The most compelling aspect of Deeksha Blessings lies in the personal transformations experienced by those who receive it. Many people have reported dramatic changes in their lives after receiving Deeksha. These transformations range from overcoming emotional trauma to finding purpose, healing strained relationships, and experiencing spontaneous states of bliss.
One of the core teachings of the Oneness University is that inner transformation leads to external change. As individuals heal and awaken on a spiritual level, they often find that their outer lives shift in surprising and miraculous ways. Relationships improve, creativity flows, and they feel more aligned with their true purpose. This is why many spiritual seekers are drawn to Deeksha as a tool for personal growth and global healing.
Deeksha continues to spread worldwide, with trained Deeksha givers offering blessings in group settings, private sessions, or even remotely. The practice has evolved, with many integrating it into various spiritual and healing modalities, such as yoga, meditation, and energy work.
Deeksha Blessings can be given either by the Deeksha Giver Placing their hands on you your, or by the Deeksha Giver simply just looking into your eyes, or it can be given by thought, by the Deeksha Giver just thinking of the person intended to receive it.
How is Deeksha Transferred?
* We begin by having you sit in a comfortable spot.
* Deeksha is transferred by the deeksha giver normally placing his or her hands
onto the crown of your head, usually for about 1 minute. Experiences during the deeksha vary, sometimes strong, sometimes subtle, sometimes delayed until
even days later. The recipient may experience a tingling sensation in the head, or blissful energy flowing through the body, or sometimes nothing at all. Whatever the experience, the recipient can trust that the process of Oneness has begun, a process designed by Divine Grace for your own nature that will lead gradually (or sometimes spontaneously) into your own accelerated Awakening.
* The Deeksha Giver will sit and give you the Deeksha through your eyes, just by looking into your eyes for about 1 minute.
* It can be given via long distance - upon request. Say what time you wish to receive the Deeksha Blessings - sit in a quiet comfortable position, and then "mentality state you are open to receive a Deeksha Blessings from" sit in meditation for about 1 - 2 minutes

Full Meaning
Om:
- Om has a 100 different meanings. It is said 'In the beginning was the Supreme word and the word created every thing. That word is Om'. If you are meditating in silence deeply, you can hear the sound Om within. The whole creation emerged from the sound Om. It is the primordial sound or the Universal sound by which the whole universe vibrates. Om also means inviting the higher energy. This divine sound has the power to create, sustain and destroy, giving life and movement to all that exist.
Sat Chit Ananda:
Sat:
- The all penetrating existence that is formless, shapeless, omnipresent, attribute less, and quality less aspect of the Universe. It is the Un - manifest. It is experienced as emptiness of the Universe. We could say it is the body of the Universe that is static. Every thing that has a form and that can be sensed, evolved out of this Un manifest. It is so subtle that it is beyond all perceptions. It can only be seen when it has become gross and has taken form. We are in the Universe and the Universe is in us. We are the effect and Universe is the cause and the cause manifests itself as the effect.
Chit:
- The Pure Consciousness of the Universe that is infinite, omni-present manifesting power of the Universe. Out of this is evolved everything that we call Dynamic energy or force. It can manifest in any form or shape. It is the consciousness manifesting as motion, as gravitation, as magnetism, etc. It is also manifesting as the actions of the body, as thought force. It is the Supreme Spirit.
Ananda:
- Bliss, love and friendship nature of the Universe. When you experience either the Supreme Energy in this Creation (Sat) and become one with the Existence or experience the aspect of Pure Consciousness (Chit), you enter into a state of Divine Bliss and eternal happiness (Ananda). This is the primordial characteristic of the Universe, which is the greatest and most profound state of ecstasy that you can ever experience when you relate with your higher Consciousness.
Parabrahma:
- The Supreme Being in his Absolute aspect; one who is beyond space and time. It is the essence of the Universe that is with form and without form. It is the Supreme creator.
Purushothama:
- This has different meanings. Purusha means soul and Uthama means the supreme, the Supreme spirit. It also means the supreme energy of force guiding us from the highest world. Purusha also means Man, and Purushothama is the energy that incarnates as an Avatar to help and guide Mankind and relate closely to the beloved Creation.
Paramatma:
- The supreme inner energy that is immanent in every creature and in all beings, living and non-living. It's the in - dweller or the Antaryamin who resides formless or in any form desired. It's the force that can come to you whenever you want and wherever you want to guide and help you.

Effects of yoga / meditation on the brain.
Neuroprotective effects of yoga practice: age-, experience-, and frequency-dependent plasticity.
# " Yoga combines postures, breathing, and meditation. Despite reported health benefits, yoga’s effects on the brain have received little study. We used magnetic resonance imaging to compare age-related gray matter (GM) decline in yogis and controls. We also examined the effect of increasing yoga experience and weekly practice on GM volume and assessed which aspects of weekly practice contributed most to brain size. Controls displayed the well documented age-related global brain GM decline while yogis did not, suggesting that yoga contributes to protect the brain against age-related decline.
Years of yoga experience correlated mostly with GM volume differences in the left hemisphere (insula, frontal operculum, and orbitofrontal cortex) suggesting that yoga tunes the brain toward a parasympatically driven mode and positive states. The number of hours of weekly practice correlated with GM volume in the primary somatosensory cortex/superior parietal lobule (S1/SPL), precuneus/posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), hippocampus, and primary visual cortex (V1). Commonality analyses indicated that the combination of postures and meditation contributed the most to the size of the hippocampus, precuneus/PCC, and S1/SPL while the combination of meditation and breathing exercises contributed the most to V1 volume. Yoga’s potential neuroprotective effects may provide a neural basis for some of its beneficial effects.
Keywords: yoga, age-related gray matter decline, neuroprotection, magnetic resonance imaging, voxel-based morphometry. "
