I just got back from a week long retreat and intensive with Swami Shankarananda in Australia. The Shakti was very strong. I had a lot of crown activity going on. It felt like I was wearing a ten pound coiled cobra on top of my head all week long. After receiving Shaktipad I had amazing clarity and stillness after the meditation. It was almost like having a new set of eyes. I've been back in Japan for two days now, but I'm still feeling great.
