Transmission works as per the suggestion of the transmitter. The receiver usually has obstruction/network around ‘That’ in oneself which is responsible for the downward and backward movement of ‘That’. Transmission acts as a third force and removes the obstruction and brings about a change in the direction of that movement to upward and forward. The aspirant perceives the changes by the way of peace, calmness and lightness, if there is alertness, attentiveness and deservingness.
