Diksha Blessing through Her Holiness Sai Maa Lakshmi
Devi and is pleased to bring this to our community.
The doors are being thrown open to the ancient mystery
teachings of many traditions. Diksha is one such gift to
the world. Formerly handed down from guru to devotee
this esoteric practice was once closely guarded. No
more! This beautiful ritual and blessing is now
available to all who seek it. The mere fact that so many
esoteric practices are being handed down and freely
given to the masses in and of itself heralds the status
of the spiritual-human evolution of mankind and is a
call sign that we are ready for more love and light in
our lives than ever before. The Diksha Blessing opens
your heart and expands your mind so that you can love
and connect with others on levels you may not have
previously imagined. Get ready to be more than you are
now, because Diksha will help you understand that you
are enough right now, much more than enough.
Diksha, or initiation, is the physical transference of
divine energy, or light, directly into the brain, which
initiates the process of Enlightenment. Sai Maa has also
called Diksha:
Initiation of Light into the Brain, Initiation into the
Supreme Light, and Initiation into the Path of
Enlightenment. This transmission of energy, of Light, of
consciousness, of Shakti restructures the Brain and
brings it into its original illumination. Because of the
distortion of human consciousness, the brain
consciousness has moved into imbalance. With Diksha and
Brain Illumination work, the brain is brought back to a
place of harmony and balance.
Diksha is the resplendent Light of the Self, God and
Spirit flowing through your soul, transmuting seeds of
karma. Diksha cleanses the mind, heart, emotions and
personality of impurities and desires that have stood in
the way of inner Truth, awareness, life, and healing.
This transformation of brain functions allow your
awareness to move into a higher frequency and a deeper
state of meditation. Over time this transformation
begins to stabilize itself. This means that this state
of awakening, this first step of Enlightenment, starts
to become permanent.
Through Diksha, and the resulting transformation of the
brain and karmic patterns, you can move into the
vastness of consciousness, where the power of love, of
your own heart, starts to reveal itself. With the power
of love in your heart it is easier to experience the
expression of the Divine as joy.
The experience of receiving a Diksha blessing is
different for everyone. During and after Diksha, all
kinds of experiences may occur. The more real, the more
humble the recipient is, the deeper the Shakti of the
Guru penetrates. When you receive Diksha, you may
experience deep peace, a spreading of warmth, or maybe a
lightness of being. You may experience a general sense
of wellbeing, stillness, or silence, or you may not
notice much at all. You may also see Divine Light, which
increases your joy for life or meditation. Whatever the
conscious experience, the benefits will accrue. Never
doubt the efficacy of Diksha, for it is a great power,
not to be taken lightly.
After Diksha, the light of reality has touched your
whole being; you have received the Darshan of Divine
Light. The experience of Diskha transcends all of the
states of waking, dreaming and sleeping and moves you
into a place of peace, serenity and tranquility. It is
this Grace, this energy, that takes you into Divine
Knowledge.During Diksha, the light moves into the
midbrain, the location of the deepest and densest
samskaras, the memories of past actions or karmas. This
light begins to soften the midbrain and transmute the
karmas into light. Diksha also causes the activity of
the brain’s parietal lobes to decrease and the activity
of the frontal lobes to increase. This changes the
quality of brain consciousness and the brain itself, and
your consciousness is raised. As a result you feel
lighter, more open, relaxed and focused. Experiences
will change, but the unfolding illumination is
permanent. This permanent transformation in the brain
has to take place in order for permanent Enlightenment
to take place.
Like many other practices which bring Light into the
body, Diksha was formerly a tightly held esoteric secret
among guru's and devotees. The evolution of our cosmos
is dependant now upon bringing in as much light as
possible and so Diksha has been made available to the
masses.
We are pleased to now offer this blessing to the
community of Southwest Florida.

THE EXPERIENCE OF DIKSHA
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I began receiving Diksha
Blessings over a year ago as a way to strengthen my
spiritual path. After seeing the incredible results that
occurred through my regular use of this ancient
technique, I decided to receive the training necessary
to bring this healing vehicle into our community, church
and professional life. It is an honor and a blessing to
receive the gift of Diksha, and an even greater honor
and a blessing to be able to channel this gift to
others. ~ David Essel
My wife and I truly enjoyed
your meditation last Wednesday night when you introduced
us to the Diksha experience. Wow, is all I can say! I
felt very light-headed afterwards. It is honestly the
highest high that I've ever felt. The visions that I saw
and the emotions that I felt were truly profound. I am
eager to learn more about Diksha and experience it
again.- Eric Hughes
How does one express the
experience of the Light of Grace Blessing as it flows
through our being? For me, it first comes as a gradual
intensity, of heat, then calm energy, light and love.
Visions of color and images that bring answers to my
deepest questions and desires. Then wonderfully
beautiful sparks of enlightened moments, through the
entire essence of me, raising my consciousness in my
human and spiritual being. ~ Caroline Ravelo
The Diksha blessing allowed me to go to another place
where I found peace, calmness, and celebration at a time
when I needed to quiet my mind and heal my heart. I
would highly recommend the blessing for anyone as it was
truly a spiritual experience. - Kathy Skillas
"I wanted to let you know how
the blessing went. It was beautiful. I wasn't sure what
to expect so I didn't go into it with any expectations.
I felt a strong feeling of warmth during the blessing.
After was hard to describe, a very elated
feeling.......yet not because I was feeling good about
one certain thing, again, I can't really describe it. It
was very special and thank you for evrything you do." -
Tracy Nemetz
"Receiving Diksha is like pouring golden light into all
the dark places, everything is illuminated, and opened
up.. and when that happens there is a discernible shift
and connection to everything... within and without."
Love, Joanna Salerno
"Diksha ignites the process of awakening. For me it
isn't so much about how it makes me feel, although it is
a beautiful exchange, it is what it has opened me up to.
I am finding that receiving the Diksha Blessing has been
a very important event on my life's path. My desires and
my thoughts are becoming even more purified and I feel
that I am reaching new levels of clarity. My dance with
the truth has definitely been upgraded." - Renee Bledsoe
