Staying sane in the midst of chaos

“It is a very unreasonable, almost insane world in which you are living. If you can manage just to meditate, you have done more than is expected of the contemporary man.”  Osho

Meditation. The key to balance and stability

To stay connected to the world around us and still live in a way that is fulfilling and nourishing, we don’t need to learn how to create qualities such as peacefulness, alertness or courage. We already have those resources, and so many more, inside us. All we need is to know how to access them – and meditation is the door.

Techniques for escaping emotional turmoil

There are meditative methods and devices to address the many different reactions we may be feeling in our everyday lives, such as anxiety, catastrophizing, “futurizing,” fear of the unknown, despair, loneliness, anger, confusion, and grief. And because each of us is unique – with our own particular experiences and individual needs – Osho’s eclectic approach is exactly what is needed in order to find the perfect fit for us.
Discussion, generally and in small groups, and Osho’s insights will support our understanding – of ourselves and the nature of the mind.

WHY ATTEND THIS COURSE?

Being the change we want to see in the world

“If the whole humanity listens to me, perhaps the world may not end, perhaps we may continue. The old man may die and a totally new man with fresh values may arise to replace him.”  Osho

This course is a “must-participate” for those who have some awareness of the increasing global crisis.
Floods, fires, famine, poverty and war are already part of our everyday reality.

Crisis as a motivation for change

This course if for those of us who relate to Osho’s view that this is not a time to be consumed by anxiety or despair, but instead is a time to live each moment that we do have more fully as an opportunity for inner growth.

Finding the safe haven within

New to meditation? When you start exploring your inner world, you find a “safe haven” – an unshakeable, ever-present core, entirely unaffected by whatever is happening around you on the circumference. If you are already familiar with meditation, you’ll know that the circumference includes your own body-mind-heart as well as your environment.
And that’s just for starters!

WHAT WILL I LEARN?

• To stay connected with the outer world without losing yourself in the chaos
• A new intimacy with your inner world
• An appreciation of what you need to live deeply, joyfully and in a way that is fulfilling
• The unparalleled potential of meditation as the source of so many invaluable inner qualities/resources
• A range of meditation methods of varying lengths, including ones that can be directly incorporated into any activity throughout your day
• That you always have the clarity and freedom to choose your responses, rather than reacting compulsively.

WHAT IS INCLUDED?

• Suggested reading
• Directions regarding OSHO Meditations that may support you at this stage of your journey

“My continuous emphasis that there is a possibility of this whole world being destroyed is to help you to live intensely right now because there may not be any tomorrow.
You are in a very special position in the history of mankind. People have always had time to postpone – you don't have. Your situation is unique. Use it – not for worrying, because that is not going to stop the world from ending. Use whatever time is left to live so deeply that ten years become almost equivalent to one hundred years.”  Osho
