Shaktipata

Welcome to the Endless Possibilities podcast, where the journey of spiritual awakening and energy healing unfolds.

hey everybody welcome back this is my channel the endless possibilities podcast i'm gareth and today we're going into the opening of the crown chakra in its three distinct stages and to make this clear i'm going to place these openings in the wider timeline of the journey so you can see how they sat alongside the other major shifts my first awakening in the gym almost 10 years ago, receiving Shaktipat with Jan Esmin, the Kundalini rising into the brain and the shift into what's known as Unity Consciousness.

We'll go through each stage of the crown as it actually happened and also I'll share Jan Esmin's description.

because it matched my experience almost exactly.

When they are blocked or underactive, we tend to experience corresponding psychological and emotional patterns.

When energy begins to move more freely through them, during awakening, old conditioning can surface and release.

This is why strong kundalini activity or Shaktipat often brings both bliss and intense purification.

The energy is moving through places that have been held for a long time.

And I was like, OK, you know, I mean, I was reading probably 20 other books and she gave me this book and I started reading it.

And literally it was like I got Shaktipat.

For a few weeks, I could hardly speak.

I was almost incoherent reading this book, and I didn't totally understand at the time what was happening to me.

Actually, negative progress, right? Negative, was, uh, going backwards, right? From what she started off.

She was very advanced when she was initially initiated, right? With, uh, Shaktipat meditation, right? Where her guru put in a very high energy, blocked the ma- uh, broke the major granthis, the three major granthis and all the knots along the spine.

And when she meditated, she was going into that amazing level, and now feeling nothing.

And there were regions, uh, time, you know, later when she found the light, white light in the forehead region, which is an advanced level, right? I am on that.

...

Shaktipat?

Because she's a disciple of his.

Okay.

You know? Yeah.

Yeah.

And there isn't even like a really powerful Shaktipat, you know, how you get around-

Yeah

So that avatara, here in this sense, doesn't necessarily mean an incarnation like Sri Kanta or Pashupati or anything.

Here it means like Shaktipata, the descent of compassion, the making material and the making manifest or the appearance in the immanence of that which is considered transcendent beyond eternal beauty, truth in and of itself.

So [singing] karpura gauram karuṇāvatāram saṁsāra sāram.

And I like to translate samsara a little differently than I think is often translated in the marketplace of ideas.

For three weeks, Aster was saying a sacred mantra that Mike Kunalini gave to me to give to people during Shaktipats.

Shaktipat meaning my kundalini triggering their kundalini.

And so she'd been doing this on her own, outside of the Shaktipat sequences.

And it put so much energy into her, she was literally paralyzed.

Tell them what happened, Astor.

You know, I haven't worked with Luke Jackson on an individual basis, but I know he's got a powerful, powerful equation.

Okay.

And I've got to tell you, I have to make an, first of all, I have to apologize to everybody because I forgot to tell you at the beginning of the program that you're all receiving Shaktipat right now.

Because when I was a student back in my 20s, college days in America, I studied the Stoics, and I understood it one way.

But then when I received Shaktipat, and I didn't return to the Stoics right away, but many years later, I looked at them again, and I was stunned how they had grown.

and how their meaning had changed for me and how relevant they were.

I studied Stoicism and other classical philosophies at university, and I can truly say that I had no understanding of what it actually was.

Yes.

All right, let me see what else I want to say.

In short, If we believe, you know, Baba told me when I got my Shaktipat experience with him, he gave me a teaching.

And I was troubled and he said, always think I am the self.
