Is Shaktipat an objective phenomenon? – Abheda Summer Camp, August 2019

Testimonies that are related, in particular, to the Shaktipat transmissions that were made by our master in the camp

♥ “For me Shaktipat was an obvious boost to the teacher’s energy. I felt this; telepathic connection and a huge love for us… a beatific joy. My body stopped listening to me, my legs were shaking very much, I did Ananta throughout the initiation because I was fainting.
I felt a strong boost in Anahata and Anja. Everything was only color; green and purple.
Space and time have taken on another dimension, I wouldn’t have wanted to get out of this state.
Shaktipat was the wonderful gift offered by the master in this camp for which I thank him from the bottom of my heart.
The meditation was wonderful, I easily got into the mood, I floated on clouds of down. In meditation I feel that my being is coming home,this is the natural and happy state.

I didn’t stay in the camp very long, but while I was staying I experienced a huge joy, a state of well-being in which I don’t mind anything at all. Everything is in perfect harmony. I feel every time that my being has everything she needs to be happy. I don’t lack anything at all.
For me the camp is not comparable to any other vacation, even if it is in the most exotic place in the world, the camp is special, only for my heart.
Thank you.”
-Sonia Androne, year 3

♥ “I feel to share with you what I received in this camp during the Shaktipat broadcast. I connected from the first moment to the master in my soul. Small kriyauri (uncontrolled body movements due to energy) appeared. When my turn came and Master Leonard touched me, I felt an ascent force. Then, amid the center ing in the heart, I started hopping up, front and back. I was easier. A simple reference to Ajna or Anahata moves my vibrations up the spine.
I abandoned myself without fear of sensations, new perceptions in my body. I felt an energy struggling at the base of the column. This state lasted throughout the period of Shaktipat.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the gift received.”
-Manuela C., year 7

♥ “Shaktipat was felt by me very strongly. With vibrations throughout my body and energy that I felt circulating, internalization, a state of elevation.
And the fact that I was able to identify with the observer was a special achievement. ”
-Iuliana Achiței, year 1

♥ “Summer camp I liked very much. First of all, meditation with Shaktipat was an obvious phenomenon for me. Initially I felt a wave of energy rising from the calf area to the muladhara chakra, and when our master touched his hands allowed me some experiences never before. I felt the incandescent light furrow my longitudinal body to the level of the growth, I felt tears of joy flowing incessantly on my face– not knowing why I was crying. Then I felt an inner peace and tranquility as my whole being embraced. It was a unique feeling in my life, which I experienced thanks to our spiritual master… and for which I am deeply grateful.
The camp was, although the first for me, a way of life within a spiritual community, with beautiful people in whom you learn the ABCs of a correct and healthy life. I liked it very much and I regret that I left after 5 days of camp. I felt its effects for a long time, and now I miss the meditations, the Teachings of Master Leonard and I look forward to the next camp. ”
-Elena C., year 1

♥ “I appreciate the effort and energy Leo has invested throughout the ritual. The lives were intense and fast (like an indoor fireworks game) when Leo reached me I felt that the pressure he put on Anahata opened my soul.
I know that the leap was enormous and immediately upon returning to the camp there was the opportunity to fix an older problem of mine that now with all the energy from the camp I was able to see more clearly and solve it better and without dramas or complications.”
-Monica Crișan, year 3

♥ “About Shaktipat, or after the 4 days spent in the camp, I can say that I felt more courage, more firmness, more confidence in myself and in what I am doing and a more obvious clarity of everything that is happening to me.
During the Shaktipat meditation, in addition to the involuntary movements in the area of the pelvis and the triumph, my hands trembled very much and when Master came to me I felt a peace, a deep inner silence, something you would not want to get out of, a lot of warmth, a pleasant warmth.

In my days in camp I disengaged, disconnected from all the daily activities I usually do and I was able to be 100% there and focus on the camp program as best I could at the time, being for the first time in the camp.
It was like a spiritual retreat.
I liked the morning activities, pranayama, asanas, meditation conferred on me and I am also an inexhaustible source of valuable information

I value everything I learn here at Abheda Yoga whether it was in camp or in class hours, Leo, whom I see constantly tirelessly and eager to pass on his teachings to his disciples.
I really enjoyed the camp and I can’t wait for the next one.”
-Nicoleta Ursulescu, year 2

♥ “I did the Shaktipat meditation the first time.. I don’t know if it was an obvious phenomenon.. Objective.. certain is that I had severe pain in all my wrists and my body began to tremble at some point.
When Master Leonard came, the trembling of his body calmed down.
During the Camp I felt an indescribable silence that I still feel but I do not know if it is due to Shaktipat meditation or/and other techniques practiced in the camp and today.
What was very special, the fact that I sat at one point at the relay meditation for four hours and I thought it was very little time… I’ve had these meditations before where it seemed like I’d stayed a little but it’s the first time four hours have passed almost immediately.’
-Andreea Lăzăroiu, year 3

♥ “For me the meditation with Shaktipat was special. At the beginning of the song I felt the thrills from head to toe, chicken skin and the sensation of hair scolded all over my body. A quiet period followed , the legs showed signs of fatigue when I heard and saw ( although we were with our eyes closed ) 3 flashes of bright light, consecutive followed by tingling throughout the body , feeling of joy and quiet somehow …. then I felt Leo, just before he touched me, and when his hands touched my back and my hands somehow felt like a hug, the left side of my lip started to struggle hard and my whole body was flooded with divine grace. The feeling was very strong, I went from crying in laughter to laughing with tears, a peace in my heart and a joy full of tranquility… It’s very difficult for me to describe it in words… I haven’t felt that way before… I didn’t even dare to breathe…
I received an important “gift” in the camp for which I thank the Divine, Leo and all those present.”
-Laura Giosu, year 2

♥ “Yes, I felt and still feel after touching the master.
At the first session, by touching my spiritual master, I felt an energy that went up in my head. At the end my breathing was calm. I was serene.
At the relay meditation, the hours passed very quickly, I didn’t feel the time.
On the second touch my head trembled uncontrollably and then I felt a great heat throughout my body even though I was near the open door
And now I feel the effect, I feel an inner peace. I want to do longer tutoring.”
-Ștefan Ciucă, year 1

♥ “The biggest regret of the last camp was that it was over. It was the third camp for me and it certainly won’t be the last. Each time I returned home full of energy and gratitude for everything I received…
The fact that I feel with the other participants as in a family, makes me look forward to returning there every time.

It is beyond any doubt that for me Shaktipat meditation has been a phenomenon in all the power of the word.
I had the chance to participate in both sessions. If in the first of them I experienced a feeling of infinite peace, of deep calm, in the second everything happened at an intensity that I would not have guessed That I could touch in a meditation. From the beginning I felt an energy that shaped my body like a thin thread rising from the level of the glyzelans up to the thighs. It’s also like my heart is dilated. I started shaking uncontrollably, crying and making a murmur. There were three or four rounds of this kind, each very intense, starting at the same moment of the song that was repeated several times. It all culminated in the teacher’s touch, when I felt the energy rise on the spine and the uncontrollable tremor amplified. After the teacher left, I felt an immense peace, an infinite silence… Unfortunately, all these sensations ended for me with the end of the meditation.
I really liked the topics addressed in the seminars. ”
-Maria Istrate, year 2

♥ “I would also like to talk about the experience at Shaktipat.
It was a very intense experience. He started to ascend kundalini and I was very warm, ever since he said he was going to do the initiation, but he hadn’t started yet.
Then, at the seminary and the second time he did it, it was the same. I felt from the beginning how kundalini ascend, great warmth, intense and continuous ecstasy, a lot of grace. As a result , I cried all the time, although it lasted quite a long time.
I felt a strong vibration throughout my body, even every particle in me seemed to be moving faster and faster.
But, it seemed to me that I recognize the condition and I think she intervened in this way at the course at certain times. Only now it has been more intense and longer-lasting.
The difference I felt in the camp was that the meditations were special. We immediately entered that state of ecstasy that we felt very intensely and often wept. I felt the whole camp that I was receiving so much grace, that I felt obliged to do more karma yoga (not just in camp, but in general), to help others as I received a lot of support, to practice and study more.
I had a slight state of anxiety and some detoxification symptoms.
At the end of the camps it seemed that I had a more refined, higher state.
Things seem to fall into place so that they stay that way. That is, to have less work and more time for spirituality. Which I think is a manifestation of the changes that have occurred in me.”
-Alina Crișan, year 3

♥ “First of all about Shaktipat : it was an honor for me to receive such a gift. First I felt a heat somewhere in the middle of the column where it radiated a gentle white light. The second time was much more intense, like something went up on the spine, all over the spine. I don’t know how to put it into words very well, but I know I got something right for myself. After the meditation was over, I was fine. I can’t say that I felt, that I saw, that it happened to me, I don’t know what. I didn’t wait for anything to happen, I just enjoyed what I got and I was and I’m grateful. I came back with a feeling of well-being. And for that I thank you and I am grateful.
About the camp: I proposed that throughout the period I would dedicate myself only to spiritual activities. I wanted to learn, to practice, to feel. For me everything was wonderful in terms of practice, especially the relay meditation that I fell in love with, I enjoyed, I took refuge in it. It was special and again I thank you from the bottom of my heart and I love you very much.”
-Ligia Năstase, year 1

♥ “I can’t put my finger directly and say, look, that’s changed, but I feel a major change in terms of the spiritual things that I work on with myself: detachment, humility, love. I’ve been waiting for this camp with great love and impatience ever since the other one in the summer ended… Now it was different, although the feeling of joy was the same…
Again, concretely, compared to last year, I can say that there was a substantial difference in quality in my practice.
Regarding Shaktipat was a raving experience,I actually felt energy connection with the professor, I felt his presence… effectively my body was entering into a strong involuntary tremor when it was near me, and tears trickled down my face. This feeling of energetic connection scared me a little, as I was not used to such pronounced manifestations of kundalini.
At the same time, we felt trust and gratitude for this gesture of love and trust that Leo made for us.

Since I came from the camp I feel the need to practice daily and not only the need but I do it with love, not with that state of laziness that barely lets you get up.
Overall, I feel different and I see myself differently, for the better, compared to how I was before the camp. I hope it’s not temporary.”
-Alina Costea, year 2

♥ “For me, the camp was nice. Even though I came with my family, I tried to participate in most of the activities.
Following the camp, I accessed a deeper concentration.
During the Shaktipat meditation I felt myself sweating more profusely.”
-Marius, year 2

♥ ” Although I attended the camp only briefly, I joined the meditation relay, where I spent an hour and a half in meditation. Indeed, I felt a special energy. From then on I can center myself better in the heart and enter meditation much more easily.”
-Cristina, year 1

♥ “For me Shaktipat felt from the first moment I stood in the position of Enlightenment. I had a lot of feelings during that period… From the fear that something bad might happen to me, to the ecstasy I felt at the end.
In the 20 minutes or so I started shaking uncontrollably and at the end I felt a kind of physical exhaustion as if a lot of energy had passed through me. But soon I recovered and understood that, in fact, everyone felt according to their level of consciousness.
The moment I was afraid I wanted to stop and leave the room, but I stayed and knew that nothing bad would happen. That’s when I first felt the discrepancy between what my brain was telling me (to leave, because I’m going to be sick) and what my heart was telling me (the fact that I trust the master and the path) and then I said sit and accept what is going to happen.
Shaktipat was a grace for me, because after that I had much deeper meditations and I can park my body better and in a shorter time.
One day I went to meditate in the room where the relay was held. I think I was there for an hour or so, but I felt like it was five minutes. It’s like I’ve solved all my energy problems from the past few days and I’ve started to understand meditation differently ever since.
Until then, I didn’t understand why I should do meditation. For me it was useless and very hard work, I preferred to do asanas, not meditation.
I think I understood that I was afraid to stay with myself, to listen to myself and to understand myself. I understood that good meditation does not mean colors, lights or images, these aspects are related to the astral and that you really meditate when you can observe yourself in a detached way.
Another thing I’ve noticed is that the mind plays tricks and tells you “that’s it, too much, let’s move, I can’t do it anymore”.
It’s such an important moment. Don’t give in, because only then can you understand meditation differently.
I felt more “family” than in my own family.
The workshops are super beautiful.
I just want to say thank you for what we have received and for loving us so much and taking care of us.”
