WHAT IS NITHYA SPIRITUAL HEALING INITIATION?
In Nithya Spiritual Healing Initiation (NSHI), you are initiated by Paramahamsa Nithyananda to become a channel for the same divine cosmic energy that he embodies, to flow through you to the person receiving the healing.
GENESIS OF NITHYA SPIRITUAL HEALING
The genesis of Nithya Spiritual Healing lies in the first self-healing experience as related by Paramahamsa.
FIRST HEALING EXPERIENCE
I left home at the age of 17 and spent several years wandering in search of the Ultimate Truth. During my wandering days, I spent many years in the Himalayan regions and more than nine months in Tapovan. From Gangotri, one has to trek to Gomukh first, and from there climb up the mountain-face to Tapovan. Tapovan has no access paths and traveling to and from Tapovan requires extensive acclimatization. Tapovan is considered one of the 'airstrips' to the mystical shambaala - enlightened energy field.
I was returning from Tapovan in an army truck. In those trucks there would not be seats, only wooden planks tightened with gave me a tuft of darbha grass and told me to give it to the teacher and tell her to start healing with it. Just as the thought ‘how’ entered my inner space, the formula for transferring the healing technology was revealed.
I use this divine knowledge to transfer to others the divine experience I myself had. I initiated my teacher as the first Nithya Spiritual Healer.
(This is the history of the unique, effective and divine method of healing, Nithya Spiritual Healing, which has sprung forth from the enlightened consciousness.)
ANANDA GANDHA CHAKRA
It is into the Ananda Gandha chakra that the seven chakras, the seven energy bodies, and the five koshas, all collapse. It is the state in which enlightened masters live. It is the source of all our energy, and the direct connection to the universal cosmic energy. It does not exist in the physical body, but has a metaphysical significance.
When a person with enlightened consciousness initiates a healer, he opens the door to the Ananda Gandha chakra, so there is access to the divine energy directly every single moment. When you are in Ananda Gandha, you are enlightened because you are one with cosmic energy.
The Master lives in Ananda Gandha. This is the hiranyagarbha (primal state of the universe before manifestation), the source of all energy of creation. That is why the healing energy is able to give new life, new energy and heal. A connection to the same energy source is established when we are in Ananda Gandha. blows, it will disintegrate. Below the lower frequency also, the same thing will happen. When your energy vibrates at a particular frequency, it appears as your body. Now, where this energy band collapses, that point is the Ananda Gandha chakra. Like how this whole balloon will shrink to one single point when it bursts, all your seven chakras will shrink to one point and that point is the Ananda Gandha chakra.
ONLY AN ENLIGHTENED MASTER CAN OPEN THE
ANANDA GANDHA CHAKRA
All other chakras are gross and can be opened by meditation. For example, if there is a bolt of a certain size, you can use a suitable ordinary spanner and turn it. If the bolt is slightly smaller, you can use a smaller spanner and turn it. If it is very tiny, like in a watch, then you cannot handle it in the usual way. You need a person who is specialized in handling it. He will use the appropriate instrument to handle it.
In the same way, with the seven major chakras, you yourself can meditate and open and energize them. But this Ananda Gandha chakra is such that only an enlightened master can open it. It is very deep and very subtle. With this healing initiation, we are going to open it.
ANANDA GANDHA AND THE SEVEN ENERGY BODIES
Let me now explain Ananda Gandha in relation to the seven energy bodies. We have seven energy bodies in us, namely physical, pranic, mental, etheric, causal, cosmic and nirvanic. Right now, you are all in your physical layer, the outermost layer.
ANANDA GANDHA AND THE FIVE KOSHAS
Now, let me indicate to you the Ananda Gandha chakra, with respect to the five koshas or sheaths in you.
There are five koshas or energy sheaths that are part of our energy system.

Figure 6: Five koshas (energy sheaths)
- Annamaya kosha – gross or physical body
- Pranamaya kosha – energy or breath body
- Manomaya kosha – mental body you, the state in which you are right now. In this state, 'I' has more frequency than your thoughts and you can therefore control your thoughts.
When you are without 'I' consciousness but having thoughts, it pertains to the dream state. You will have thoughts in your dreams but you will not be able to control them. In the dream state, your thoughts are at a higher frequency than 'I' consciousness and therefore you will not be able to control the thoughts.
When you are without 'I' consciousness and not having any thoughts, you are in the deep sleep state. In this state you have neither 'I' consciousness nor thoughts.
Currently, you are aware of only these three states. However, there is a fourth state, which you have never experienced in your life: when you have 'I' consciousness, but you have no thoughts! This is what is called the 'Zero TPS state'. TPS is Thoughts Per Second. This is what I call the samadhi state, Ananda Gandha, nirvana, Nithyananda state or Enlightenment. You will have complete awareness but you will not have any thoughts.
THE TIME SHAFT
The shaft (Figure 8) in the center represents 'time'. At any given time, the greater your TPS or Thoughts Per Second, the further you are from consciousness of the present moment and you are simply worrying about the future. By doing this, the present slips into the past, without you ever getting a glimpse of or experiencing the bliss of the present.

Figure 8: Time Shaft
When your TPS comes down, you enter more and more into the present, getting a clearer vision of the past and the future. Familiar incidents from even past births and intuitions of the future start to surface in you. When this happens, be very clear: for those few moments, your TPS has dropped and you are more in the present.
When your TPS is zero, you can clearly see the entire past and future. Now, by my initiating you into Nithya Spiritual Healing, a short-cut will be created so that your consciousness will simply slip into the present or Ananda Gandha.
You can do certain supportive meditation techniques for Ananda Gandha meditation. One such technique is Shakti Dharana meditation. It will create a beautiful energy flow in you.
