meditative therapy
The Osho approach to therapy is that it can never be the ultimate solution to human problems, but it can be used as a tool to help prepare the ground for meditation. Based on this understanding he has created a series of meditative therapies that give participants the opportunity to dissolve the tensions and repressions that keep them from being able to sit silently and observe the mind that creates problems in the first place. Uniquely simple and effective, these methods involve a mi-nimum of interaction among the participants, but the ener-gy of the group helps each individual go more deeply into his or her own process.
- No "therapist" is required, but only a facilitator who has gone through the process and has been trained in conduc-ting it.
- Born Again is a process that takes place for 2 hours a day, over 7 days.
- For the first hour, participants take the space and freedom to behave as children. For the second hour, they sit silently, doing nothing.
Het Born Again proces vindt soms ook plaats als een meditatie van één uur.
