"Self-hypnosis has to be in the service of meditation; that is its greatest use. But it can serve health, it can serve long life, it can serve love, it can serve friendliness, it can serve courage. Self-hypnosis can help you with all that you want."~Osho

Osho has indicated that meditation and hypnosis are two doors leading to the same center—our being. Whether we enter through meditation or hypnosis, the destination is greater awareness, healing, and wholeness.

This is not just another workshop—it’s an opportunity to experience practices you can carry with you for the rest of your life. Osho described meditation and hypnosis as gateways to the same inner space, and in this event you’ll discover how they can help you reconnect with your own center.

“Eternal gratitude to Dr. Milton Erickson and Osho for inspiring my journey. When Osho personally invited me to Poona, India, to teach meditators how to go deeper into meditation, I drew on my training with Dr. Erickson and teachers from around the world. That once-in-a-lifetime opportunity has since grown into a lifelong calling: blending meditation, hypnosis, neuroscience, and self-healing so people everywhere can lighten up from the inside out.” says Dr. Brian Alman

"As humans, we go through our life supported and sheltered by a system of beliefs, points of view, and an idea of self-image molded by our accumulated experiences. However, occasionally, we find ourselves pushed out of our cocoon to ask ourselves: Who is experiencing all this? Who is holding these beliefs? Who is aware of it all? Who is the subject here, that can feel, recognize, often be at the mercy of all these objects, all these ‘whats’ that crowd life?

You might already be familiar with the question Who am I? which has been part of human evolution for centuries. As seekers tirelessly contemplate Who am I? they often reach a moment of sudden simplicity of “I am me”, or “I am that”, or, as God told Moses, “I am that I am” (Exodus 3:7–8, 13–14), or just, I AM. Am-ness, a pure, direct, unequivocal presence. With nothing attached to it. A direct experience of subjectivity as one’s true identity.

There is another question, more uncomfortable than Who am I? that takes us on an even more radical exploration. Who is in? focuses on examining the very existence of this Who, and of it being present anywhere, specifically inside. It throws us inwards where we recognize not only the obvious and familiar ‘me’, but also the inexplicable and ungraspable ‘me’ - the Who. Ultimately, we find emptiness."

Avikal's own spiritual journey began in my early twenties with the question, “Who am I?” That became the fundamental spark of his living, and everything started aligning itself with this quest.

Over the next five decades, he travelled and lived across the planet, imbibing many cultures, religions, and societal structures. He has been an anthropologist, a university lecturer, a freelance photographer, a healer, and a bodyworker, besides training managers and mentoring top executives.

In this interactive session, Avikal will share his insights into "Who really is in" and also give us a glimpse of "it" through guided meditations. To learn more about Avikal Costantino's work please visit: https://www.avikal.co/introduction

"Celebration is without any cause. Celebration is simply because we are. We are made out of the stuff called celebration.That’s our natural state – to celebrate – as natural as it is for the trees to bloom, for birds to sing, for rivers to flow to the ocean. Celebration is a natural state."~Osho

Krishna Prem is inviting his birth family to meet his extended Osho family on Saturday, August 9 from 10:00 AM-4:00 PM. When KP returned to the States from India some 50 plus years ago, he was surprised to find out how spiritual his family was. So all of you and your family are invited to join him and his family in meditation and delight. "Come,Come, Yet Again Come." Osho

As KP leads Osho’s meditations , he will be accompanied live by his niece, Ronit, on singing bowls and flute. It’s a family affair.
Delicious Indian Vegetarian lunch will also be served to complement the Celebration! There is no cost to participate in this Celebration but if you wish contribute, you are welcome to do so.

“No-mind is not against the mind; no-mind is beyond the mind. No-mind does not come by killing and destroying the mind. No-mind comes when you have understood the mind so totally that thinking is no longer needed, your understanding has replaced it.” ~ Osho

Whether you are a seasoned meditator, or just a beginner, perhaps now 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 enhance the 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.

“If you are right your life will be a life of joy; if you are wrong your life will be a life of misery. Each act is decisive, intrinsically.” ~ Osho

Experimenting with a variety of meditative techniques, learning to transform the mind into an ally, and to create your own meditative practice, can enable you to unleash the power of your potential and so live the life you long for.

You and I are unique in our vision of what we want from life or of how we can make a difference. Our priority may be expressing our creativity, or helping others, or caring for the environment; it may be finding meaning, searching for stability or security -- in a job, a relationship, or home, or in being financially independent.

Though our dreams may vary, we all long to fulfill them. In trying to do that we are going to meet challenges. They will include coming up against much we cannot influence, outer circumstances we cannot change. Does that mean we have to compromise, to downsize our dreams? Should we recalibrate and settle for some easier way ahead?

The good news is, whatever the situation, we have a certain freedom -- mastery over how we respond to whatever is happening. You and I possess a repertoire of inner skills, resources to support us. They are waiting for us to claim them, to activate them so that we can create a life that really works for us.

Maneesha James facilitates workshops and offers individual sessions related to meditation and counselling for general issues as well as support in the dying process. She has also authored most of the articles and other content on this website.

She is known internationally as the reader-of-questions in Osho’s daily public discourses. She has written what Osho refers to as the ‘historical documentation’ of his work in the form of a trilogy (OSHO: The Buddha for the Future; OSHO: Twelve Days that Shook the World; and OSHO: One Man Against the Whole, Ugly Past of Humanity.)

This is a guided meditation in which you can use the powerful energy of your heart to heal a wound you may be carrying from someone, or to dissolve some uncomfortable differences or judgments you may be holding against a person.

When we close off our hearts against someone, it hurts us. And it also affects our relations with others. This technique gives you the opportunity to open up your heart and let its energy flow free again. It is not about forgiveness, it is about healing yourself.

“One day, one golden day, you will disappear and only the buddha will remain in place of you. That will be the greatest height of your blossoming, the greatest golden moment of your thousands of lives. Beyond that is only the cosmos. First, become the buddha. This is called NIRVANA. Then take a jump into the cosmos, and disappear into the blue sky. This is called MAHAPARINIRVANA – the great enlightenment."~Osho

Join us in celebrating Osho’s Mahaparinirvana with the divine melody of Manish Vyas. Manish will be sharing Live Music to celebrate this auspicious day!

Manish Vyas has been learning and teaching music and meditation for more than 25 years, which he learnt throughout his life with different maestros in India.

His Album "Shivoham" was also nominated for 57th Annual Grammy Awards.

At the age of 20, Manish moved to Pune to be in close proximity to Osho and also to pursue his musical career. Manish learnt Tabla with Maestro Ustad Allarakha while organizing and performing concerts in Osho's presence. Manish met renowned musician, Jagjit Singh, and played with him in a performance presented at the Osho Samadhi. This Maestro of ghazals, classical and devotional music was a big influence in Manish’s musical vision - as well as his spiritual master "Whosoever", who taught him how to compose and use music to reach awareness, meditation and dissolving with the music.

Currently he is based in Switzerland and has been conducting meditation retreats and concerts throughout the world.

"Through the third eye you become the witness. Through the third eye you can see thoughts running like clouds in the sky or people moving in the street." ~Osho

In the times of Pune 1, many of us were touched on the third eye by Osho. Clearly he was seeding some kind of awakening there. Both for us personally, and also for the whole Sannyas field that we are part of. Past, present, and future. That seed has been growing for some time, and is now ready to open further. Especially to the calling of these times, where an old way of living is clearly dying and a new Man is being born. Osho is still here, still available to us for it all.
In this interactive session, we will share a new, fresh way of greeting Osho each day. This new way of greeting Osho can activate on many levels, depending on what the day is calling for us, now.

After that, we will go into an interactive mode of inquiring into the third eye experience that is in us at this time. What it is, what it feels like, what kind of things turn on as we offer this light.

Nishant finished graduate school in 1974, and as he was standing on the gate to the school, an inner voice said to him, "do you really know anything?" I honestly replied, "No." The voice said, "find somebody who does."
"I spent the next year looking for that person, tried many, and when I met Osho in 1975 it was an instant click and a new name for me. Since then the journey has continued in and out of communes in Poona and the Ranch and still unfolding to Osho's guidance in letting go of knowledge and discovering reality fresh each day."

Nishant has been leading workshops and trainings since 1976, mostly in Europe and some in USA and Japan. Now in times of great wonder and gratefulness for what is and continues to unfold in the field of Osho's love.

"Don't be responsible to anybody. You are not. Just be responsible to yourself"~ Osho

In this guided Tibetan meditation given to us by Osho, you will experience that life goes on without you, you are not as important as you think! It is tremendously liberating, especially for people who feel they have too many responsibilities and not enough time for themselves. The meditation ends with feeling yourself dissolving into a cloud of bliss, letting go into a deeply peaceful relaxation.
