Just as a transformer changes high voltage energy into usable form, so Shaktipat or Saktipata can perhaps be thought of as energy currents of kundalini, streaming through a person serving as the transformer to spiritually conduct it to others. This can be done either in person with sound or touch; by distance with sound; or by the charging of objects with sound and touch and given to another.

So while meditating, if your intention is to bless sentient life with the light of the Buddha, or coming through Kundalini awakening, you can use it to charge any area of life. Your own, first and foremost. You must recharge yourself to be any good for others.

A Sanskrit term for the energy that comes through transmission is spoken of in the Upanishads and the Bahagavad Gita as ‘parusha’ or unified field. The ancients taught that the ‘atman’ or soul is part of this field, or parusha.

Hindus believe among other things that the atman comes from parusha. The atman seeks succor in reunion with parusha while journeying through time and space. And then at ‘moksha’, or the end of the rounds of experience, the atman returns to parusha. To bliss. There are other descriptions in many of the world’s traditions describing this transmission or radiation of parusha or healing light.

Master artists have themselves been conductors of its radiation, depicting it in the world’s most beloved masterpieces. Great poets and musicians, conductors of symphony orchestra, and other visionary creatives are all instruments of this great risen light.

And so are many meditators, visionary healers in their own quiet way.
