What is shaktipat, the transmission of spiritual energy?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Shaktipat is the sacred transmission of cosmic energy, where the master’s touch awakens the disciple’s consciousness, flowing only through total surrender and vulnerability. In this divine exchange, the more you give, the more existence invites you to receive."
According to Osho, shaktipat is an ancient device of energy transmission in which an authentic master, by touching the disciple’s third eye, catalyzes the flow of cosmic energy into a totally surrendered, vulnerable receiver. Nothing material is exchanged; consciousness-energy moves through availability. The master loses nothing; giving invites more from existence. Without complete openness, or with energetic blocks (e.g., the red tika), nothing happens; hence his shift to subtler, friendlier methods.
It’s when a true master touches your forehead and, if you’re completely open, their living energy helps switch on your inner light.
