What is Oneness?

Oneness Blessing, also known by its Sanskrit name of 'Deeksha', is a 'divine energy transfer' whereby the 'blessing giver' holds their hands over the head (crown chakra) of a receiver for about 1-2 minutes. This is with a focus and intent that the energy will be transferred automatically. Experiences during the Oneness Blessing vary - sometimes strong, sometimes subtle, sometimes delayed until even days later. You may experience a tingling sensation in the head, or blissful energy flowing through the body, or sometimes nothing at all.

The Oneness Blessing is the phenomenon behind the work of the Oneness University near Chennai, India, and the deep passion and intent of Sri Amma & Sri Bhagavan. Not only can a blessing giver share the energy in person, but they can share by intent to anyone in the world over thousands of miles with good effect. The Oneness Blessing is one way that the divine can reach out to mankind; it is a gift, a benediction of grace. Effort by the receiver does have a role in the Deeksha and this can be in the form of personal introspection, contemplation, asking the right question and having an intent.

The purpose of the Oneness Blessing is that it results in a growth in consciousness and creates a shift in the brain which results in a diminishing of the feeling we have of separation. As parts of the brain are activated, we find ourselves able to truly experience reality, without being carried away by the never-ending chatter of the mind, its evaluations and interpretations. This in turn leads to awakened states and then to a permanant shift in the neurobiological makeup of the brain whereby a permanat state of awakening is experienced. The awakened human being simply becomes the observer of the mind, and is no longer subject to its endless chatter and imaginings. That's freedom!

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 de-activation of certain other centers thus bringing about a shift in the perception and experience of life. In relationships it enables a greater sensitivity and connectedness with the other, freeing you from the limitations of your judgments and conditionings. The Oneness Blessing is a non-denominational experience whereby with the transfer of physical energy there is an awakening of our connection with the oneness in everything, allowing each of us to deepen our relationship with those we love and with ourselves. The Oneness Blessing is also found to help in the healing of the body and in the discharge of repetitive emotional patterns, resulting in greater ease and comfort with oneself.
