About Oneness Prayer
An Introduction to Oneness Prayer, also known as Oneness Blessing or Deeksha (Sanskrit for Benediction)
What is Oneness Prayer?
Oneness Prayer is the transmission of divine energy through intention, words, eye contact, presence and, most commonly, through a laying on of hands.
Oneness Prayer is not a concept, nor a religion, nor does it promulgate any teachings. Each recipient of the energy brings to the experience their own concepts of the Ultimate, be they religious, scientific, profane or divine.
What are the effects of Oneness Prayer?
The energy is intelligent and it interacts and transforms each person in a manner that is particular to that person’s needs.
Some experience strong physical sensations, some laugh, some weep, some see internal or even external lights, some have bodily healings, some have insights for healing relationships or solving other persistent life problems. Some experience no tangible manifestation of the energy whatsoever, but all generally begin to see positive changes in their lives as a result of receiving the energy.
Oneness Prayer manifests differently for each person and each time a person receives Oneness Prayer it may manifest differently.
Over time, and after the reception of many Oneness Prayers, the activity of the brain’s two hemispheres is harmonized. As a result, there is a re-patterning of negative programming, a releasing of traumas at the cellular and energetic levels, and a deep emotional and physical healing.
As more people experience Oneness Prayer, the energy becomes more powerful.
Ultimately Oneness Prayer leads to a flowering of the heart, a sense of unconditional peace and the realization of oneness with all that is.
Who are the Oneness Prayer givers?
The Oneness Prayer givers are only channels for the energy, not the source of it. They are ordinary people and have no special status or insight. They are not gurus or even teachers in the ordinary sense of “knowing” something that they can then impart to others.
However, each Oneness Prayer giver has undergone an extensive 21-day process at the Golden City, near Chennai, India (www.onenessmovement.org). There, through teachings, silence, ritual, and the repeated gift of Oneness Prayer, they have become conduits for Grace.
