GLOSSARY

*Chakras
Energy centers within the subtle body which, when balanced, lead to the experience of a harmonious reality, connection to the Oneness in everything, and ultimately to union with the Divine. These chakras may be worked with directly through specific yogic and meditative practices. These practices are taught at the Oneness University and by Oneness Trainers around the world.

*Deeksha / Oneness Blessing
The transfer of a physical energy which affects a neurobiological shift in the physical brain, catalyzing the awakening of the kundalini and the balancing of the chakras. It is a benediction, a gift from the Divine, which is necessary to complete an awakening into Oneness. It is one way that the Divine reaches out to humankind, to assist in the current evolutionary process.

*Kundalini
The dormant spiritual energy within the human organism, said to reside in the subtle body along the spine. The process of awakening or enlightenment is said to mirror the rising of the kundalini, from the base of the spine up into and out the crown of the head. The kundalini flows through three main channels (nadis) in the human energy system. One of the primary affects of the Deeksha is to activate the kundalini and to guide it upward, resulting in a full awakening into Oneness.

*Oneness
The natural state of the human being where one is experiencing reality as it is, the reality of the senses, free from the interpretations of the ancient mind. A state whereby the sense of separation has dissolved and one experiences reality as a profound web of connection between all living matter. There is no longer a “me” and a “not me,” but rather a division-less flow of the Divine, of intelligence, of love.
