The Healing Power of EKAM: Harnessing the Energy of Oneness

Kathleen Maiman • April 18, 2024

Ekam, derived from Sanskrit and meaning "One," is significant in spirituality and healing. It symbolizes the energy that formed the universe and is synonymous with God or the highest form of oneness — The Supreme Oneness. 


An architectural wonder in India known as Ekam, often called the Oneness Field, is a focal point for radiating ancient energy to alleviate human suffering. Ekam is also a philosophy and meditation school for transforming human consciousness.


Those who meditate within Ekam describe the building as having a living entity. It’s a nurturing space where healing, emotional release, joy, and spiritual awakening occur and is powerful for personal transformation and spiritual growth.


Keep reading to learn Oneness's meaning, techniques to leverage its energy and incorporate it into daily life, the healing benefits of Ekam, and testimonials from people who’ve experienced it firsthand.


What is Oneness?

Oneness refers to unity or interconnectedness, where all beings and aspects of existence are inherently connected and inseparable. In spiritual contexts, Oneness often implies a deep sense of harmony, wholeness, and non-duality, where distinctions between self and others or between the individual and the divine dissolve.


Oneness is the core principle and essence of Ekam. Hindus and other cultures believe it’s the origin from which the universe emanates, symbolizing the ultimate unity or oneness of all creation. Ekam helps us understand Oneness as a philosophical and transformative spiritual experience.


The Various Healing Benefits of Oneness

Practicing oneness helps you face physical, emotional and mental imbalances, remove old patterns, eliminate the darkness, and find enlightenment. You can also discover more about your talents and possibilities to move forward with nothing holding you back. With Ekam, you can gradually process how to regain the power to control your body, mind and soul


There are many benefits of Oneness:


  • Reduces fear and anxiety
  • Clears emotional clutter
  • Gives you a new perspective on challenging situations
  • Breaks old self-defeating behaviour patterns 
  • Enhances self-awareness
  • Helps you overcome roadblocks and limitations
  • Increases patience and tolerance
  • Provides peace and harmony to love your life


Techniques for Tapping into the Energy of Oneness and Incorporating it into Daily Life


There are several ways to tap into the energy of Oneness. Here are some techniques that can help:


  • Meditation: Set aside time daily to focus on your breath and connect with all beings.
  • Mindfulness: Bring your full attention to the present moment and be aware of your surroundings, sensations, and experiences. 
  • Gratitude: Reflect on the things you're thankful for. This can shift your perspective from negativity and what’s missing in your life to positivity and a feeling of abundance.
  • Compassion: Be kind to yourself and others by practicing empathy and understanding. Recognize everyone’s worth and strive to treat others with love and respect. 
  • Nature: Spend time outdoors and connect with the natural world. Going for a walk, sitting by the ocean, or tending to a garden can help ground you. 
  • Spiritual: Choose practices that resonate with you, such as chanting, prayer, or rituals.

In today’s digital world, screens have woven themselves into every moment of our lives. From the first scroll in the morning to the last glance before sleep: our phones and tablets are shaping how couples are spending time together. Just have a look the next time you go out to dinner and see the couple both sitting on their phone while waiting for their dinner to arrive. While this technology connects partners across distances, it can also subtly erode emotional intimacy when left unchecked. You are not alone if you’ve ever tried to talk to your partner while their eyes are glued to a glowing screen. In today’s world, screen time has quietly become the “third wheel” in many relationships.

When it comes to relationships—romantic, familial, or even friendships—there is an ongoing negotiation between what is true (facts) and what is felt (feelings). Both play vital roles in how partners connect, resolve conflicts, and build lasting trust. Understanding the balance between the two can mean the difference between constant misunderstandings and a relationship grounded in both honesty and empathy. Learning how to balance the two—without dismissing or overemphasizing either—can bring more peace, understanding, and intimacy.
