Author Barbara Brennan in the book Hands of Light describes shaktipat as the actual projection of the guru's "aura" on the disciple, whereby the disciple acquires the same mental state of the guru, hence the importance of the high spiritual level of the guru. The physiological phenomena of a rising kundalini then naturally manifests.

we have recently discussed this in our group Sadhna... some excepts from my post on shaktipaat
Shaktipaat is when a sadhaka gets a big energy boost to clear his chakras, or to awaken his kundalini, or to remove negativity blocks
in his system.
Shaktipaat can be done by a guru... and in some case without a guru.
Most of the people think that a guru can do shaktipaat on anyone and can make his disciple advanced... this is a false notion
Guru performs shaktipaat only on that disciple who is really ready due to his sadhna for this big leap. Paramhansa had many disciples, but he performed shaktipaat only on vivekananda.
Hence the commercial gurus who are doing shaktipaat on every tom...are fakes and their shaktipaat has no spiritual significance
Shaktipaat done by a guru, may be performed by touching, by seeing or by uttering a mantra in the ear of the disciple. Guru sends his own highly spiritual energies to the system of disciple...and these energies can remove the blocks, clear chakras or force the kundalini to awaken
The direct Shaktipaat comes from God, himself. In this form of shaktipaat, one feels a lightening jolt of energy from the sahasradhara... and then this energy going down the spine reaching
Kundalini. This shaktipaat may happen during meditation or during japa, results would be same in both cases.
The results of both the shaktipaats (guru or direct) are almost same. The sadhka feels a big shock in the body and his may become senseless for some moments. There is a feeling of bliss afterwards, which may remain for hours, for weeks even for months. The face becomes smiling, eyes drowned somewhere. A Sadhaka may see beautiful dreams, or listen to sweet sounds during sleep.
A sadhka should never think that After shaktipaat, he will progress automatically. Shaktipaat may help in the first step... but it never leads to Moksha. We have to work hard after that to
get enlightened state...although a guru may show a glimpse of Truth during Shaktipaat, as happened in the case of Vivekananda.
If proper sadhna is not done after Shaktipaat, the energies go back to Kundalini and the sadhaka may remain where he was

Shakti Paat is a process by which a guru sends his energy to his disciple to awaken his kundalini

It doesn't matter whether you describe such things in Sanskrit, Hebrew, or Aramaic. Hocus pocus is still hocus pocus.
You might be able to meditate better in the presence of someone you consider to be a master/guru but it is solely a function of your preexisting belief, not of any "aura" projection.
