"It was late night/early morning on Friday or Saturday and I was on my seat meditating when the session began. The session was incredibly intense. It felt like someone had a lava hose/flame thrower and was straight blasting my body methodically....While this is only one experience, most of my 'breakthroughs' in KAP have coincided with shaktipats from Santi...he gives all of us KAPers doses of chi/shakti regularly. Sometimes it is fiery in nature like my session was, but sometimes it is much more subtle.
It took a day or two for me to begin to realize just how much Santi had done for me in that session. 2 weeks later, the nature of my experiences during KAP practices began to change significantly as a direct result of this session. Also...some areas that I had struggled with mentally and emotionally just disappeared. There are things that are still unfolding as a result of this session

I had a chance to meet Susan Carlson. She's an amazing woman. She gave a lot of shaktipat via hugs.Her energy did not feel hot to me...it was much more yin and despite its intensity, I actually had trouble at first to be sensitive enough to feel it. She gave us as many hugs as we could handle...and I got more than my fair share. One of her hugs was from behind and I could feel the energy spreading throughout my whole body...even penetrating deeply into my bones. The hugs from the front had a similar sensation of light, cool deeply penetrating energy...but there were orbits running too. These hugs were very interesting...the longer they went the more the coolness penetrated. Then a very warm vibrating sensation would start in the base of my spine and begin to rise up. The hugs always stopped before the energy in the spine raised very far. " Peter Adam Pittman, Engineer, Virginia.

"For me, this was the first I had heard of Kundalini. Prior to the seminar I tried to find whatever information I could online. Susan did an exceptional job in explaining the Kundalini Awakening process and what to expect and where to go if I had questions or wanted more information. We had great meditations and I felt like I was lying on a cloud by the end of the day. The end of the seminar we all were able to experience shaktipat from Susan. This was a first for me and I had a hard time explaining to my husband what it felt like because I could not find the words to describe it. I have been incorporating the baby Buddha breaths, secret smile and the micro cosmic orbit into my mediations on a daily basis. I have experienced some of the signs/symptoms of Kundalini awakenening and so far everything is manageable. I enjoy the Kundalini Shakti Rising video Santi made and put on Utube. I call it getting "Santi pat". I also participated in the full moon shaktipat at the beginning of the month. That wasamazing to experience. I had no idea what you could feel all that from a computer. In the beginning when Susan said she and Santi were giving everyone a hug and that you might feel a hand on your back, I felt that. Like I said, the whole thing was amazing. Thanks so much Susan for coming to Kansas and helping me with my spiritual journey. Even though I have not been working on my new spiritual path for that long, I have grown by leaps and bounds in a short time. I know I am ready and I have clarity and purpose to what I want and need to be in this lifetime. Santi, Susan talked about you many times that day, and I am sorry you were not able to make it to Kansas. I hope that I will be able to meet you sometime."

"I have only ever had remote Shaktipat (I hear that in person it's a whole new level) but even long distance it is pretty intense.

The group global Shaktipats are held in the Skype's chat box. It is a guided meditation lead by Susan and Santi. Although guided , the meditations themselves tend to be very open, Santi and Susan know when to let Shakti do the talking.The secret to enjoying them is to just relax and go with the flow, there is not much space for head action. Go with however your body responds, in my case this has ranged from getting up and dancing to just falling asleep. Also have a pint of water handy, your body will be grateful for that. Another thing is delayed reaction. Often the Shaktipat works as a catalyst which can manifest asanything from de-toxing, a breakthrough in your practice to a profound insight over the following week.

Difficult to really explain what the experience is like without sounding like a bad writer describing great sex, just can't really capture it, without belittling it. Although everybody's experience and the manifestation of it is unique I will give you the notes I wrote after my first Global Shaktipat with Susan and Santi which was a "journey to the sun".

Wrapped in a bluish grey robe like a desert nomad we sweep towards the sun. Above guiding and shielding us with its wings a huge black dragon. I sense the people around me but they are shadowy and indistinct. As we approach I feel thesolar winds and pull my robes closer around my face.

We arrive at a fiery curtain, I ask for permission to enter, for a moment I feel afraid that I will be rejected, afraid that I am unworthy. I try to open my heart to express why I am here, to show my frailties and my strength, my fear and my love. I feel myself glide through the outer layer.

Everything is black and silent, I am in a void. "Oh no," I think, at first."I am not getting in." I then focus on the peace within this void and allow myself to float. After a while I open my eyes and look at the chat window-I have to find a present, I decide not to push it and float in the blackness.

The black becomes waves of molten clouds and a plinth arises from within it. I go to the plinth and in it is a golden diadem with a jewel in the middle. (A crown I think, "this must be my Ego taking over, what an ostentatious gift!" but I let the judgment float aside). I put the diadem on my head. It is absorbed into the skin and disappears, the jewel being in the middle of myforehead. I wait for the idea of a gift to spontaneously arise. Suddenly I see myself rip out my liver and place it in the plinth.

"You effing donkey", I think, as I question the wisdom of leaving one my internal organs in the sun. I look for a way to find a better gift, to take this one back. A voice appears in my head. "This is black with anger, for you it is harmful but for me it is righteous wrath. I can transform this anger into its pure energy state and use it for the greater good, it is an acceptable gift." At my shoulders I feel two light figures. They lift my shoulders from my body as if lifting off a cloak. Underneath this human form is a young solar dragon, golden, orange, translucent. My wings spread from out of my heart catching the light, reflecting the light. (My body which until now has been swaying in horizontal circles begins to undulate, serpentine.)

I glide around joyfully in my new body, over to the fountain. It is the elixir of remembrance. I fill my beak and feel this nectar spread down my long neck and into my body. My wings have increased in size. I swim through the fountain and enter the golden liquid. It is like a wall of fire. I swim around it in circles, faster and faster ever more joyful. As I reach a certain speed my form becomes indistinct. I am a spark, a single flame in a great fire. I continue in my orbit feeling the happiness of being one of many but a part of the only one. It is time to come home. My body is returned. It seems to fit me better than before. I can feel the circlet around my skull hidden under the skin. I give my thanks and I am falling back to earth.

Like orgasmic parachutists in free-fall we drop. I see Andrea laughing her hair wild and sending tendrils of light throughout the universe, I allow myself to roar in pure joy too. Armando is beside me his eyes rolled back in his head in ecstasy. Not for the first time during the trip Santi appears in my mind's eye, his huge toothy grin glowing as he vigorously nods his head up and down,digging it all.

Back on earth I once more feel Susan's presence as she blows a cool blue sheet of misty light over us. Cool and calming I sit blissed out, head full of unthought of thoughts.

The next morning: I feel filled with the honour and responsibility for this little corner of the earth where I live. I desire to be like the good son who looks after his ill mother out of love and gratitude. I understand my responsibility to her, and it is a blessing.

"For as long as I can remember, I’ve had an interest in the Martial Arts, esoteric stuff, immortality and the like.  As a kid I always felt as I had lived before or if my body died, some part of me would continue to exist on some level.

I was pretty sick as a kid. Not in and out of the hospital sick, but frequent colds, the flu, stomach viruses…etc… It would be nothing for me to be out of school or for weeks at a time and it was pretty much that way for me until 1993 when I found Path Notes of an American Ninja Master. 

There’s a lot of crap out there when it comes to energy work, kundalini, and chi.  The authors to some of those books could not have possibly had any working knowledge on what they where “teaching”.  But when I picked up Path Notes, it had the feel of authenticity.  Once I implemented the Chi Kung Breathing, with in 60 days my immune system strengthened enormously.  Instead of the first to get sick and the last to recover, I would often be the last to get ill if at all and the symptoms would be mild and I would be over it in a few days instead of weeks.  

1999 was my year. By that time I had practiced Glenn’s (Dr. Glenn J. Morris) Chi Kung and corresponded with him for six years. It took that long for me to clean up my act, come to grips on my religious up bringing and beliefs (One God, Infinite Number of Faces)  a weekend spent with Glenn and running the orbits 3 hours  a day every day January 1999 to early April 1999. Also, I didn’t want the Gopi Krishna or Glenn Morris effect.  But I did get the “James Alexander” effect.   What is that?  That’s when you don’t practice the secret smile enough and you spend the next ten years fighting your dark emotions and holding them in check.  All together now “The Secret Smile”.  One morning in April 99 my top blew and I ended up fighting and slaying a demonic personification of my self. Of course it would be a few years later that I realized that it was me that I was killing and not some other entity. After the event happened I got up looked in a mirror and my aura had gone from pink / purple to solid white with my crown shooting up to the ceiling.

Even though I was sort of sickly child, I still was one of the strongest and fastest and athletic people around just because I exercised a lot.  I wanted to be like Hercules, Samson, Thor, and Superman…you get the picture.  I loved mythology and Thor and Loki actually became some of my teachers for a while. I’ll have to get into the story of my first interactions with those two some time.  Anyway, like I was saying I was always pretty strong because of constant training.  But these knew emerging skills as a result of the Kundalini and Chi where something different all together. It became extremely easy to hurt my training buddies until I really slowed down. I remember Glenn advising me to move like a very soft woman and that seemed to do the trick.  My spirit traveled back through time on occasion and I have been to the Crucifixion of Christ on many occasions and I tell you, the “Passion of the Christ” was spot on.  I had Tengu hanging out with me, Spirit Guardians looking for something to do with their eternal life which can get pretty boring if you don’t have things to do, weather would be influenced by my emotions at times.  I came close to stabbing a person in restaurant once because one of my guides thought the individual moved to close and at an angle that seemed to be threatening. But since I have 51 percent of the vote I vetoed that decision. But it was nearly irresistible and I would have had a hard time explaining why I stabbed an innocent person. 

A martial artist that plans on being effective beyond the age of 40 or so will definitely benefit from Kundalini / Shakti and Chi.  I’m over 40 years old now, an official geezer and I’m stronger, faster, and a lot healthier than I was in my 20’s.  The Kundalini allows you to experiences the magicks, but more than that, you learn your place in the universe and you move and operate with more awareness of the hear and now.  My highs are extremely high and the lows are very low but that’s the cost of it. Being an Empath really sucks at times and that has to be why monks and priest went into seclusion. Nothing is free and you do pay your dues.  Thanks to Susan, Santi and Tao, those dues are not as severe as they were for those of us who did the old school KAP.  I have had to be careful what I say, especially in anger or other extreme emotions and have learned to neutralize the intent (spells) that I have tossed out there. Manifestation becomes a reality and being neutral and in Mushin is the best way.  I have learned to cast curses or use offensive magick as a self defense.  I have come to realize that do no harm actually means do no harm except to defend your self and those you love.  Sometimes we can be  the tools of Fate and help an individual shave off lifetimes of Karma in one fell swoop, pay all of his / her dept at once…….Aw hell let the Universe decide and keep playing."
