People who get involved with very energizing groups are often passionately loyal to the bliss experiences and feel they must stay close to who ever or whatever provided them.
There's a discussion on one of the Google listserves about how to make sense of these 'shaktipat' experiences.

I proceed under the assumption that shakti is a
natural energy, neither good or evil, but like fire, can be used for
helpful or for destructive means. I also believe that shakti is very
similar to drugs. (unquote-the rest of the article can be read in the URL below)

The most profound message you can offer is that you're always there for your friend. She's experiencing intensity and bliss, but these are not the same as acceptance and intimacy--which as an old friend, you can offer.
Best thing is get her to talk about what makes her happy and sad, if she's vegetarian, learn to cook some things she'll enjoy when she comes visiting. You may be able to get hints from her for good recipes---cooking is a great point of contact.
Hint that if she gets sick with the flu she can come stay with you until she feels better. This will demonstrate that the world isnt a bad, horrible place.
The most radical message is--'you always have a place here.'
