About the Event
Whether you are a seasoned meditator, or just a beginner, perhapsnow is the right time to take stock of where you are in your meditation; how it is affecting your life; and, how you can further enhancethe quality of your life through a meditation practice and with meditation techniques that may be “just right” for you!
There have been many things said about the effects and benefits of a meditative practice. Some of us have learned meditation techniques that we do in a somewhat regular practice. Others have done meditations periodically. And still others of us have WANTED to have more meditation in our lives, but our schedules have made that difficult.
This workshop is designed to benefit you WHEREVER you are with meditation! It will shed light on how and why meditation can be SO SIGNIFICANT for us in dealing with the problems, anxieties, fears, worries and tensions that our everyday lives produce. And, in spite of recognizing its benefits, how it can often be difficult to bring it into your life on a regular basis!And equally important, it will help you find meditative techniques that can help transform the often-chaotic experiences we have, into more satisfying breakthroughs and adventures!!
Osho has said that the state of meditation is relaxation, awareness and no judgment. When you are in that state, you are no longer identified with the mind. Effective meditation processes, done the way the Masters have requested us to use them, can help you enter into the state of meditation, and disassociate from identifying with the body/mind and even get a glimpse of the state beyond the mind!
Ask yourself this: Regardless of how much meditation you’ve engaged in, have you REALLY ever gotten OUT of the mind? Have you ever had experiences – in or out of meditation – that have opened a “crack” in the wall that the mind has built around you, giving you an experience of real inner silence and genuine relaxation? And, even if these moments have occurred, are they few in number? And no matter how hard you try, has it been difficult, if not impossible, to find your way back to that experience of opening?This workshop is built on Osho’s extensive guidance, as well as over 90(!) years of experiences, insights, and understandings that Subhan and Shanti have had individually and together, as meditators and disciples of Osho. They both have lived in Osho’s three communes; and, over the last 37 years, they have traveled around the world, sharing, learning, discovering and experimenting with Osho’s guidance.For this weekend, they will invite you to experience and understand what can support you in stepping back from the mind, and having glimpses of what Osho has called “No Mind.” And, as importantly, they will share rich processes and insights that will give you new realizations, new perspectives, and new EXPERIENCES into the reality that is beyond the mind. Osho has said that this “beyond the mind” reality is who “you” REALLY are!Come and join us! And delve as deeply as you can into the mystery and the magic of what life can offer you on this path of self-discovery.
