Handbook for Shaktipat Siddha Yoga Initiates

"Handbook for Shaktipat Siddha Yoga Initiates" by Jan Esmann serves as an essential guide for those who have received the sacred and transformative initiation of Shaktipat Siddha Yoga, a path where an enlightened Siddha activates the student's Kundalini energy, steering them towards enlightenment. This handbook not only supports initiates but also offers a concise introduction for those curious about this spiritual journey.

Within its pages, Esmann elucidates the profound aspects of Shaktipat initiation, the nature of the supreme Self, and the symbiotic relationship between student and guru. The book details the core practices of Shaktipat Siddhayoga, emphasizing the surrender to the Divine Mother's grace as the primary meditative practice. Additional discussions cover other meditation techniques, vital energy channels, chakras, and the spiritual blockages known as knots. The interplay of karma and free will is explored alongside modern psychoanalytic insights into psychological defense mechanisms, which are crucial for any yogi's self-reflection.

Included are practical resources such as a dictionary of yogic terms and a web link for information on upcoming initiation opportunities, making this handbook a comprehensive resource for anyone engaged in or interested in the path of Shaktipat Siddha Yoga.
