In answer to the question, “Can Adepts give Energy when they have people meditating, not for States?”

Yes, of course it is O.K. to give Energy in between States, as it helps the Meditator along and gives them a boost. It is helpful, but not imperative, for people to see and experience all they can on the Way to their Second Initiation/Enlightenment.

Is it a good idea for people to go for States during the Grace Period? Is there an advantage using physical touch when going for States?

Of course! It is up to the individual Meditator and times of holiday periods, but really it is a good idea, if possible, to link with the Grace Period. As you have discovered, it is a very potent time and will help enormously.

                               Touch + Grace Period = the most opportunity.

Another reason is that people can then sit together and have that linking of Spiritual Energy.

Our personal view here, is that we don’t hold back people that are obviously ready for States. We have also to be practical and base our activity around OUR holidays and free time. For example, if we are visiting a foreign Country, we would be wise to Initiate and give Eneregy for States at that time, as we cannot be absolutely sure when we will return.
