OSHO Meditative Therapies
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. The revolutionary insight is that analysis and verbalization, the basis of traditional therapy, is not curative. The mind cannot solve the problems created by the mind.
Based on this understanding, Osho has created a series of “meditative therapies” that give participants the opportunity to release whatever is repressed that lies at the root of their inner conflicts. Once these tensions are dissolved, the participants are able to sit silently and discover the art of watching that same mind – that creates problems in the first place. In this way, they can now avoid adding new repressions in the future.
Uniquely simple and effective, these methods involve a minimum of interaction among the participants, but the energy of the group helps each individual go more deeply into his or her own process. No “language” is required, nor a “therapist.” A trained facilitator is present to support the participants in their individual processes if needed.
OSHO Meditative Therapies are offered every month at the OSHO Multiversity of the OSHO International Meditation Resort in Pune, India.
