Diksha is a transmission of energy that affects the activity of the brain. Most commonly the transmission occurs when the "diksha giver" places the hands on the head of the receiver for a minute or two.

Diksha is based on an ancient principle that states: "Anything can be transferred, be they states of consciousness, wisdom or energy." In many Eastern traditions mantras were used by Masters to transfer spiritual experiences, and the apostles practiced the laying-on of hands, referred to as the Pentecost phenomenon.

Diksha affects neuro-biological change. There are sixteen centers in the brain responsible for experiences of sensory perception, emotions, creativity and learning. Diksha results in the activation of certain centers and the de-activation of others, bringing about a shift in the perception and experience of life.

Scientists have measured the effect of diksha on the balance of electromagnetic impulses emitted by the brain. They have determined that within thirty seconds of a diksha transmission the activity of the parietal lobes, as well as the brain stem and limbic system, become quieter and more balanced, while the activity of the frontal lobes increases. These findings are identical to measurements of long term Tibetan meditators conducted at the University of Pennsylvania.

Furthermore, the effects of diksha are cumulative; the more diksha a person receives, the more balanced the brain becomes. A group from Princeton University is establishing a laboratory on the Oneness University campus to study and observe the diksha process.

Diksha means "blessing or initiation" in Sanskrit.
