The Oneness Blessing Presented by Zabe' Barnes.
Room 5, Coronado Community Center, Hot Springs Village.
(*A $2.00 donation to help defray the cost of the use of the facility is most appreciated).
The Oneness Blessing (also known as Deeksha) is a unique and specific blessing enabling the senses to be free from the interference of the mind, with accompanying spontaneous feelings of joy, inner calmness, and connection to the Oneness in everything.
The 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 vary - the recipient may experience a tingling sensation or blissful energy flowing through the body or sometimes nothing. Whatever the experience, the recipient can trust that the process of Oneness will lead gradually (or sometimes spontaneously) into your own Awakening. 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. The Oneness Blessing facilitator then works as an empty vessel for the energy to transfer to the recipient.
