Initiation types
Traditionally, initiations are of four types: by word, by thought, by look, or by touch.- The initiator may use a single mode or a combination of approaches.
- Touch is the most common, usually by placing the hand, fingers, or thumb at the ajna chakra (between the eyebrows). This is the quickest way of imparting Shakti person-to-person.
- When touch is not possible, other modes are used.
- This initiator primarily uses the thought mode, which is just as immediate as touch. It does not mean “thinking about the candidate” but rather holding their image in mind (through picture, photo, or memory). When both initiator and candidate do this, the connection is strong and rarely fails.
Distance initiations
Since 2011, distance initiations have been conducted successfully and are as effective as person-to-person initiations.Today they take place mainly through live online video sessions, supported by the exchange of pictures when needed. The candidate should attend as many group meditations and video sessions as possible to strengthen the link.
How the connection is made
- Candidate and initiator use each other’s picture or live video image as the focal point.
- Efforts do not have to be simultaneous.
- Remembering or visualizing the image throughout the day deepens the process.
- Results come faster when the candidate dedicates time to meditation during the initiation period.
- The goal of initiation is not immediate calm, but to notice Shakti’s subtle manifestations in body and mind. These are the signs of a successful initiation.
Key steps for the candidate
Seated position:
- Sit upright, either cross-legged on the floor or forward on a chair without using its back.
- Hands rest upright on your lap (not on the knees).
- Torso should remain free to move.
- Do not sit on a bed or slouch. If you do, nothing will happen.
The best way to sit if possible
- Look at the initiator’s picture or video image, without engaging thoughts or feelings.
- Later, recall the image in detail without needing the photo.
Observe sensations:
- Be alert to subtle movements, swaying, vibrations, tingling, warmth (especially at the base of the spine), spontaneous mudras, or rhythmic pulsing.
- Allow sensations to occur naturally. Do not interfere unless you wish to end the session.
- Additional viewing: Outside of meditation, recall or view the initiator’s picture whenever possible. This strengthens the connection.
Duration of sessions
- Sit as long as reasonably possible, ideally 30–90 minutes, twice a day.
- Early in the session you may feel tense. It may take time to relax enough for Shakti to manifest.
- Tension restricts movement, making subtle experiences harder to notice.
- With patience, Shakti grows from very subtle beginnings into stronger manifestations.
Timeframe for initiation
- Success may come immediately, within days, or even weeks.
- Some candidates experience strong effects (shaking, swaying, vibrations) right away.
- Others have only subtle or delayed experiences, as Shakti often works at subconscious levels before surfacing.
- A small minority may appear unresponsive at first, but with persistence, many eventually respond.
- There is no fixed time limit for initiations.
Chances of success
- Success depends largely on the candidate’s dedication during the initiation period.
- The more meditation and connection maintained, the better the chances.
- Most candidates show signs within the first few days.
- Lack of results is often due to practical factors (seating, focus, location (find a private place), relaxation) which can be adjusted.
Ongoing guidance
Candidates should report daily via private message during the initiation period to describe their experiences and receive advice.If reports are not maintained, the initiator will cease working with the candidate.
