FEATURE ARTICLE:

The Addiction Factor

OK I know, you probably think that this is not an article you need to read because when you hear the word addiction the first thing most people think is "I’m not an addict because I don’t use drugs." We often think that addicts are only hard-core drug users like those who use heroin, cocaine or crystal meth to name a few.

This article was written by Tim Custis and edited by Elaine Baskin

Our next meeting is February 17, 4:00pm at the MindBodyZone in Fremont. We will be experiencing the Oneness Blessing. I hope you will join us for this powerful experience facilitated by Pinar Tabur and John Mayega.

What is the Oneness Blessing?

The Oneness Blessing (also known as Oneness Deeksha or Diksha) is a non-denominational benediction. A unique and specific blessing. It is the transfer of Divine Energy which, over time is designed to bring about the state of Oneness in the recipient. This energy has been brought to the world through Divine Grace and is being bestowed upon humanity.

What happens during the Oneness Blessing?

The Oneness Blessing initiates a neurobiological change in the brain that when complete enables the senses to be free from the interference of the mind. When the senses are unclouded by the mind’s interpretations, a natural clarity of perception occurs with accompanying spontaneous feelings of joy, inner calmness and connection to the Oneness in everything.

How is the Oneness Blessing transferred? What might I experience?

Oneness Blessing is transferred by the Oneness Facilitator by placing his or her hands onto the crown of your head, usually for about 1 minute. Experiences during the Oneness Blessing vary, sometimes strong, sometimes subtle, sometimes delayed until even days later. The recipient may experience a tingling sensation in the head, or blissful energy flowing through the body, or sometimes nothing at all. Whatever the experience, the recipient can trust that the process of Oneness has begun, a process designed by Divine Grace for your own nature that will lead gradually (or sometimes spontaneously) into your own Awakening.

Who can offer the Oneness Blessing to others?

The Oneness Blessing can be transferred by anyone who has received the transmission and training during a special process at the Oneness University in India or at the new Oneness University campus on Fiji. These people are often referred to as Oneness Facilitators or Oneness Blessing Givers. The Oneness Blessing Giver then works, as an empty vessel, for the energy to transfer to the recipient.

Can anyone receive the benefits of the Oneness Blessing?

Yes. It is not necessary to attend the Oneness University in order to receive the benefits of the Oneness Blessing. Most adults and children can receive the Oneness Blessing at any time. The exceptions are: Pregnant women after 16 weeks and people suffering from serious psychological illness.

What about if I wish to become a Oneness Facilitator and give the Oneness Blessing to others? Then it is necessary to attend the Level 1 Course at the Oneness University.

Does the Oneness Blessing adhere to any particular religion or belief?

The Oneness Blessing does not adhere to any religion, nor any particular belief nor spiritual path. The Oneness Blessing is given each day to people all over the world, people of all races, all religions, all spiritual beliefs or no spiritual beliefs, and to people of all nationalities. It is not necessary to change one's religion, nor adopt a new guru or spiritual master to receive the Oneness Blessing - nor to offer the Oneness Blessing to others.

Why has the Oneness Blessing come at this time?

Our planet, and all of humanity, is currently undergoing a major evolutionary transformation. This is impacting our environment, our social structures, and our individual and collective consciousness. The co-founders of the Oneness University, Sri Bhagavan and Sri Amma, are here to help with this transformation.

About the Global Healing Circle

The Global Healing Circle was created with my friend Suzy Baldwin to explore who we are, and who we could be in a safe and healing environment. We will encourage you to participate more in the process of creating your life by releasing blocks, setting new goals and reaching for new heights. We believe that your potential as an individual, and our potential as a global community, is unlimited. 

Those who choose to join our circle will be part of a process that is ever-changing and ever-evolving to meet the needs of the group.  Individually, we will explore, honor, and learn from our differences.  United, we will connect, inspire, and reach for something greater than that which we currently know.

Come, try us out.  Do as much or as little as you like.  Share, only, if and when you’re ready.  If it feels like home, stay awhile.  If it does not, we thank you for your time and consideration, and send you blessings as you travel onward.  Whoever, wherever you are, we honor you as part of the whole.

We will meet the third or fourth Sunday of each month at 4:00PM at MindBodyZone. This meeting is free.
