Workshop: Deeksha Intensive
Cost: $60.00
Workshop Description:
Awaken to the Truth of Who You Are- Deeksha is a transfer of energy for enlightenment. It quiets the mind and activates the witness state. Join us for an unusual opportunity to deepen your connection with the Divine and receive deeksha from four experienced deeksha givers who have been initiated through the grace of Sri Bhagavan and Amma to transmit the energy of deeksha.
As we awaken we discover our natural state. Our natural state is clear and open and present; it includes deep peace, causeless joy, unconditional love and spontaneous wisdom. For us to live permanently in our natural state involves a re-patterning of the neuro-biology of our brain and nervous system. This happens by grace.
When these changes occur in our nervous system, we naturally and effortlessly find our selves relaxed, present and awake. There is now a process of energy transmission that triggers these neurobiological changes; it cools down the areas of the brain that cause us to perceive ourselves as separate and it quickens those associated with peace, joy, love, compassion and wisdom. It is called, "deeksha." Deeksha is literally a transmission of grace. It not only facilitates spiritual awakening, but can also result in physical healing and the unraveling of conditioned patterns, which create psychological symptoms such as anxiety and depression.
The focus of the Deeksha Intensive will be awakening to the Truth of who you are. The morning session will focus on clearly seeing the "me" or false self that is not our true nature. This will include deeksha and experiential exercises to help you discover that you are not your thoughts, body or your conditioned patterns. The afternoon session will focus on directly experiencing the clear and present field of Pure Awareness that you truly are. Coming into contact with this allows us to be just as we are, without resistance. When there is no division inside, there is just a beautiful flow of life experience and causeless joy.
Now is the time for our human species to wake up, together. As more of us awaken, a new pattern becomes established in our human consciousness and it becomes easier for all of us. As we awaken together, we are content and fulfilled in our own being; divisiveness and conflict disappear as we begin seeing each other as our own self. As we awaken, just by being who we naturally are, we co-create a new world together.
