Experiencing a glimpse of Chaitanya-the christ consciousness

The Background:
Chaitanya (sanskrit term for consciousness) pervades every cell of the universe. Its not something that is restricted to humans or that can be calibrated or measured or quantified. However one can become more consciously aware of its presence by directing exclusive attention to it. For instance one can look at an object with eyes wide open, but unless attention is directed no information is gathered from witnessing a object. But once attention is directed, the details like shape, color, size are revealed through the consciousness of the observer. The fact also is that even the object is no longer the same, as consciousness has altered the energy pattern.

My Phone rang and a lady greeted me. She introduced introduced herself as the best friend of one of my client. In the next half hour of our talk, she poured her heart to me. Life seemed a bit cruel to her. She was desperately looking for some formula to come out of her depressing state. Her love life was in shambles.

I am attractive, and yet I am not been able to find a suitable partner. I want to raise a family. She said. I am not getting any younger. How can I attract someone in my life?

She knew I was no love guru who could offer tips to set her love life on tracks. Being a healer herself and coming to me with some serious recommendations, she probably understood a bit about my kind of work. However she wanted to be sure about my approach.

I offered to help her to sort her energies, which at the moment appeared to be foggy, scattered. During the course of our discussion, I came to understand that she was a bit concerned about stepping out of her belief system. I sensed that it would be futile to argue about belief systems. Only a powerful experience can inspire one to trash out a rigid belief system. She later fixed up an appointment with me on a weekend.

I stepped into a cozy drawing room. There were books everywhere. I offered a energy healing session with no claims. I told her just submit to the session without any logic or probing mind.

She was defintely seeking clarity in her life and wanted to bring about balance and harmony. The session began with a meridian line combing. Her body was aching all over. There were blockages at several points, and she at times howled in pain. I told her to relax and breathe in deeply and breathe out the pain.  After around 20 minutes of body combing, her pain began to ease out. 
I began to do the yogic massage on her. Starting from the toes and upto the crown, the meridian lines were thumbed, combed and pressed. She began to respond to the deep stimulative flow of prana. I matched my breath with hers, though it seemed a bit shallow. it was just about ok. Being in sync was important. 
As she lay down, floating in the energy stream And then I cupped my palm over her eyes. I entered into a deep state of meditation. I didnt know where i was sitting. Everything came to a stand still. The silence seemed palpable and amplified. My Breath was just not happening. We both had entered into a sacred space. 
A few minutes later, she opened her eyes. She looked spaced out as she muttered- "I have never felt so peaceful and calm, I saw a huge and powerful white light in front of my Brow chakra. My eyes were closed, and the light was just intense and yet powerful."

I told her that she had an experience called 'pratyaya' of the divine consciousness, and she had to thank her masters and guides present in the session for this wonderful experience. She asked me again, what had I done and how did I contribut to her experience. 

I had no answers, for I was in a state of surrender where no thoughts had pervaded my conscience. In that deep state, there were no prayers or words too. In those precious moments, the divine consciousness within us had reflected itself, and she had seen is a glimpse of the big white light in front of her. I told her to remain in a state of deep gratitude, and silence, which is best way to acknowledge the divine within us.  I am thankful to all those masters who were present during this session for giving her experience when she was in a desperate situation. If only she wakes up to realize what she saw, she will do everything possible to explore and realize her true calling which is realizing the self. I left her home, giving her a mantra to help her fine tune her energies.
