<snip> "As for hugs, that's shakti and it can have that effect. Since I've had one of those "hugs" I can attest there was a lot of shakti in it and no it wasn't mood making. It can break lose a lot of stuff. And some people aren't prepared for that." Very interesting reading this AM. The Amma "hug" testimonials validate my experience as well. I wasn't at all prepared and it sent me into a "spin" for sure. I equated it to some kind of spiritual energetic electro-shock therapy, but I had no context for it. I was worried for my children, because we did a "family hug" in addition to darshan twice a day for 3 days. My older daughter left on day 2 (she was very unnerved), my younger daughter wanted more and sobbed when we were leaving late in the evening after the Devi Bhava ceremony. But, months later now, I believe it did start the "breaking loose" process and neither child is the worse for it. In fact, as a family, there has been much healing. I am a tiny bit worried that, the last night I took myself through the whole "instant mantra" process out of curiosity versus commitment and was out of integrity on this point. I'm hoping she'll forgive me as I am also pretty sure my younger daughter is going to want to see her again :) Whether Amma will forgive you? I don’t think she’ll remember, and wouldn’t have a problem with it if she did.
