Life from the OSHO View
Dealing with feelings
Feelings good or bad are seldom
encouraged in our society, our education which is knowledge and mind oriented
funnel our energies towards the head, and we generally are taught to regard
feeling and their expression as an undesired phenomena. These results in the
gradual repression and build up of pent up emotions and feelings which are
seeking release in vain. These are small irritations, angers, frustrations or
failures to respond to a situation which start accumulating in us, or
laughter joy and love which we fail to express and remain hidden in our
being. Unexpressed they begin to poison our being and generate excessive
thought patterns and internal repetitive movies which are a false way the
mind is trying to deal with those feelings.
According to OSHO we need to learn to
express our feelings in a SAFE way, without hurting our self or others in
order to vent and steam off our
emotions, which will relieve our being immensely and leave us capable of
descending into our inner silence and peace. To that effect Osho devised
meditations and processes that are designed to do just that, take us through
stages of controlled emotional and physical expression where we can allow our
irrational side our inner child our laughter sadness tears and emotions to
express themselves, and the miracle is that once we allow that to happen the
unburdening has a beneficial ripple effect on our well being and functionally
in our day to day life.
One of these processes is called NO
MIND, one expresses in a language that he does not understand anything that
bubbles up from the unconscious mind, one can argue preach shout howl laugh
cry moan complain make animal sounds , any irrational expression accompanied
by body movement is welcome, besides hitting oneself or making any contact with
others, this lasts for about an hour ,the next stage is complete silence and
witnessing allowing the turmoil to settle and allowing meditation to happen
in a relaxed manner.
If you cannot take part in these
meditations, one can go to nature or be in your room and allow anything to
come, throw stones beat a rock with a stick scream or moan into your cushion
talk nonsense, you need to use sound and make movement with the body some
music can also help, do not hurt yourself or any living being in anyway and
take equal time to sit quietly and meditate.

Art with Heart - 17, 18, 19th October
Well known London artist and Osho trainer, Anand
Videh, has spent the past 8 years, at
the Osho Resort in Pune, India running all the Osho trainings and uses a
painting course as a way to work with all of these techniques. He is
facilitating 2 x 3 day courses (see a little info below), using many amazing
processes, painting on a massive wall size canvas. The 3 very full days
will be R4,000 and R6000 for both courses - including all materials meals
etc. I’d love you to join me and please pass this on to friends...........
Art is the expression of your heart. When your heart overflows in any
dimension – in painting, in poetry, in dancing, in singing – it becomes art.
Art is not something of a technique. It is the overflowing heart which
creates its own technique. It is alive enough to bring its own technique into
existence.
The artist is not a technician, that you should remember. A technician only
copies, imitates. The artist brings something new into existence which has
never existed before. He himself is surprised; unless you are surprised by
your art, it is not of much value. If you recognize it, it means it is old –
otherwise how can you recognize it? Osho
In this course you will be encouraged to enter the very essence of creativity
through your heart. Talent and academic training are ideas of the mind.
A wall-size canvas with lots of different stunning acrylic colors and brushes
are available for your heart to express itself.
Be ready for the big surprise.
Even Picasso will be jealous of you!
Disappear into the Painting - 24, 25, 26 October
Acrylics, a wall-size canvas and you.
The best way to let the “I” disappear is not through austerities and
discipline – no. It is through creativity and play. Become absorbed in the process
of creation and you are no longer there, not as an ego. You become attuned
with nature. Perfection takes you and you disappear. With no motivation, no
search for rewards or recognition, you are absolutely fulfilled.
Get the knack in this course, and it will – effortlessly – change your life.

"once
you are richer in the heart, then a new dimension opens towards the being.
And from being there is the ultimate quantum leap into the cosmic, into the
ultimate, into the absolute. You disappear just like a dewdrop in an
ocean" OSHO
