Shaktipat can be caused also by divine force, doesn't have to be necessarily from guru or teacher. That's what happened to me and how it happened was an amazing experience, changed me to my core and still proceeds to do so.

This is what happened to me too. Usually for me it’s through divine force. Occasionally through deep meditation.

Some victims of spiritual abusers complained about feeling freezed, and not being able to withdraw , because the energy of the other was overruling them. These practices was considered as devilish , back in the days. Nowadays, it is embedded in new constructs. I don't understand his neutral stance @Shinzen.

Wow, that changed the way I see things completely. thank you!

Great clip. Thanks for posting.

Mentioned - Kundalini Shakti, Shaktipat, Roshis, zendo, babies giving shaktipat, Robert Bergman photography book "A Kind of Rapture", the homeless and no self, ...

I've had many small shakipat experiences from a teacher in the Gurdjieff tradition. Had a background in Zen but did not feel the sync with the Roshi or overall culture. Many shastri's in the Shambhala tradition seem to have this ability to an extent. That's a fantastic point in Buddhism's take on energy, it is non-dualistic with materiality.

Thanks for posting

Outstanding discussion, thank you Shinzen. I have practiced chi gung for years; it was actually my introduction to Eastern philosophy and meditation. I was fortunate to have a phenomenal teacher who could quite literally change your entire day through his shaktipat. Having since cultivated a sensitivity to energy, I have always wondered if Buddhist teachers and Zen masters consciously transmitted energy. I could often feel the power of no-self emanating from them (the few I have met), but I could not tell if it was purposeful or incidental. I loved hearing what you had to say on this topic. I looked up that book, "A Kind of Rapture" - it looks amazing. It's impossible to ignore the aura of the person in each photograph - stunning. Thanks for mentioning it.

@Matt Summers With regard to your statement whether these masters would purposely or incidentally transmit this energy, I would say that it is both of these aspects. The intention to benefit other sentient beings through an all encompassing level of compassion would be the purposeful aspect, however the emanation of this energy field of loving compassion flows naturally and deeply through their presence that I would say this could be considered 'incidental' as it occurs through a chance of consequence.

I am submerged in rage and grief and terror an panic. I'm so all alone, and all I feel is trauma and PTSD. I am abandoned and betrayed; discarded. Debilitating paralyzing panicked pain: My best friend abandoned and betrayed me. I am suicidal and despaired. Desperate. Breathless. Hyperventilating. However, in the midst of this, I've learned these lessons: - what him and I had: was an AMAZING BEAUTIFUL adventure! for whatever reason, it wasn't meant to last... I'm grateful though, to have had it for the 17-months, that we did. - everything happens gradually then suddenly... - children make everything about themselves, adults still do the same (very erroneous) - I'm better without him because I want TRUE LOVE, THE REAL THING. THE FULL MEAL DEAL. he's better without me because he wants 100% focus on his businesses and moving off-grid. ultimately, eventually: we'd just be in each other's way... - NO MORE: Victim mindset - NEVER talk shit about myself - stop comparing self to others, put self on a pedestal - stop taking shit personally, he has his wounds and traumas and insecurities, too! - standards and boundaries - inner child healing - prioritize self - be how you would be as a confident person - be in alignment

Regarding Carlos - Don Juan's best friend, Don Genero, was trained in a way quite parallel with Zen, in other words, all action without explanation. As an apprentice he was thrust into weird and challenging situations without explanation. Don Juan, like Vipassana, was taught quite systematically with explanation. So Carlos was the lucky recipient of both styles.

Hello- I have had a spontaneous kundalini and it has created a huge shift in my family and it has been extremely challenging this occurred in the span of 3 weeks and my family is freaked out. I was hospitalized for 3 days but ok now more weird stuff is happening but it’s a a scale I cannot explain. I’m not sure who to go to. I’m a therapist by profession Id love some support. I have a 15 year old who is confused and I’m concerned of creating trauma. Thank you 🙏🏼

Spontaneous kundalini can result as you have described. It can be unfortunate to people around you as it freaks them out. Research in your area and find an awaken being to work with. They are usually not psychotherapist trained more like somatic trainers, a spiritual life coach or spiritual teacher. Call upon your Higher Self to help you find someone to assist. And take action too. The universe will help you to resolve. Much peace to you. Grace has many forms.

According to David Godman, Bhagavan just looked at people and they got omni-shakti blasted into infinite bliss.

I have had that experience from Ramana. It is real. Heart opening. All was seen as Divine Love Consciousness, which is all one Self.

to clarify...and simplify...when she removed the insulting comments of the one person, any conversation/comments after that would go as well...including mine...and I am quite relieved :-)

SY was highly lauded and along time ago I researched his work. My conclusion then as it is after ''trying'' to listen to this video, is that he goes off on tangent, starts and never finishes a point. He is like so so many Western people using Buddhism to enrich themselves. The best way is to ensnare people and project this notion of being wise, learned or enlightened. Actually, he's a low class con artist nothing more. He could have sold cars, it would be the same mentality, and we'd be better off if he did stick to cars.

I work with several highly skilled energetic healers for several mental and physical illnesses I struggle with. One of them is an advanced Buddhist master and after she works on me I I feel out of sorts because her energy is so powerful that my conditioning comes to the surface, often in the form of physical discomfort. The great space of her awareness is unmistakable, however. She has been able to uproot obsessive thought patterns (I have OCD) so subtle and existential I don't know who or what else could do it - perhaps some of the newer brain technologies available could, but I don't know.

This is underestimated and a taboo subject in certain spiritual organisations. Afcourse there is an exchange ánd abuse. So choose your leader, your teacher on the basis of ethics. Is he/she transparant about it? Does he/she acknowledge the responsibility for this exchange? Most socalled teachers don't even mention this; the question is why not?

Rest as awareness and make eye contact. Right side of body seems to flow energy in. Careful who you receive from, prostitutes/pornstars transmit as well.

Sounds better without the mic. I wonder what the not doing of meditation is.

The 'not doing' of meditation is letting our primordial consciousness arise to the surface of the conditioned mind by remaining silently aware in the stillness of the present moment.

I think that what might have happened is that there was someone posting very negative and insulting remarks to others comments...my comments were also removed and I am a friend of Stephanie who runs this channel. They were part of the "stream" of replies that went along with that person's comments. Trust me that he insulted me majorly...that is probably what happened unwittingly...Steph is quite "liberal" in what she allows. & has never done this that I know of. Insulting is just not cool

How can a "realizer" glibly toss off expressions like "mental illness".....if you read these Roshi Young perhaps you can enlighten me...i'm not angry with you...just puzzled about what you would have meant by such self-evidently redundant and harmful expressions..."mental illness"? Genuinely baffled.....wait for your feedback.

That is how this guy rolls. He would connect better by preparing an Abstract of his response that fits in a 2” x 4” square using Calibri 11pt.

Energy is Joules or Wattseconds, watthours etc. . If we don’t mean that, we should use another name and please give it a distinct meaning, with all respect. Qi maybe? If it’s real, it will be confirmed by experiment, whatever it may be but please don’t confuse long-settled physics terms. Physics is not about „materialism“, by the way, physics has abandoned the pure Newtonian view 100 years ago. Modern physics is very open to any phenomenon that can be repeated. Things can be measured even long before we have a model. In that way, physics really delivers in transcendence.

You can infer what he's talking about if you are not close-minded. He is talking about vibe. When you get this feeling around a certain person, it comes from the "energy" or the mental state they are at and it gets transmitted to you by I assume mirror neurons. The more meditated person has a more powerful and often positive vibe as he is saying.

How quaint. Street people acting like no-self people oh you gasoline junkies I could scream but I won't. "There's" is a contraction of there is and refers to singular persons places and things we used to have this thing called grammar.
