From my own personal experience, I like to inform that the concept of "Shaktipat" might be different in reality. As I also do, normally people perform a breathing exercise involving some MUDRAs (posture for yoga) which may be like Kriya Yoga. The exercise is very fast breathing through abdomen and provides huge amount of oxygen in brain. After doing this exercise for a good number of times say 30-40 times minimum, one can experience a very tough feeling in whole body. The head, face and body starts sweating which is "Pranapat" -- meaning hard toil of body. Immediately, after doing this one may start meditation where one pays conscious attention to one's breath and feels vibration with some other sense in head, palms, sometimes on abdomen. This is "Shaktipat". It is to be noted that in this "Shaktipat" period, if one is really conscious about one's own breath, he meay experience a breathless state for sometime which is clearly showing that enough oxygen is supplied to the body and the body takes care of it. The body does not need breathing for sometime. After that very slow breathing starts. During this period one consciously meditates to get feeling of whole body and then starts to see flow of thoughts in own's mind. Gradually, through the meditation one explores to listen different sound in all direction with clear attention to feel breathing. A new feeling in the whole body is felt at this point which could not be explained by words. It is to be understood that every feeling can not be expressed in words. If one tries to express, it remains either incomplete or half truth. This phase is "Shivapat". One attains this "Shivapat" by regular exercising Yoga and meditation. It is said that the whole technique including very intricate inner steps are only told to the person by his/her GURU and so unless one gets "GURU-KRIPA" which means blessing of the GURU one cannot attain this phase. However, as a scientist, I am interested to explore breathing process, blood pressure, EEG and ECG reports. Now in REIKI, one may bless/heal someone through distance healing which does not require internet. I have done many people personally. I could not arrange any scientific diagnostics process during REIKI healing.
