Primal Deconditioning Session

Our inner child is the source of joy and spontaneity in our lives but may be crippled by negative self-beliefs – from the times in our childhood when we were forced to compromise in order to survive. In this session you will learn to overcome negative self-beliefs, to discard the habit of fear, and to become whole, conscious, and fully alive.

Healing the inner child – reconnecting with your innocence and integrity

“Whatever you have been told by the society that you are – discard it.” Osho

As children we depended entirely on others to fulfill our needs with our need for love being the most fundamental of all. Out of the fear of being deprived of love we tried to conform to the expectations of others. As a result, we lost integrity and became inauthentic. Our natural spontaneous responses were buried under conditioned habits. As Osho says: “What are you? Just watch, and you will find a bundle of old habits. You don’t yet have anything more. That’s the whole effort of meditation: to bring something more to your life which is not a habit, something which is spontaneous, something which is nonmechanical, something which transforms you from a robot into a conscious being.”

WHY ATTEND THIS SESSION?

“There must be more to life than this” sang the man who had everything – fame, adulation, heaps of money… Sadly, he died before realizing that he was searching for meaning in the wrong direction.
If you are still carrying the wounds of your childhood conditioning you will never find fulfillment. You can distract yourself from your inner discontent by throwing yourself into any number of competitions that promise you your 15 minutes of fame; you can join the race to die with the most toys; or you can postpone the idea of fulfillment altogether by attempting to be “good”, to live in such a way as to please some god or other so as to get rewarded in the next life.
Phooey! All soap bubbles! There is more to life than you have ever dreamed of. Don’t miss the opportunity to find out what that more is. You won’t regret it.

WHAT WILL I LEARN?

“Remember that at the deepest core of your being you still have the eyes of a child – wondering, inquiring, full of the mystery of life, surprised at each and everything, surprised at ordinary things.” Osho

Our negative self-judgments arise from the knowledge that, in the powerlessness of childhood we betrayed our own clarity of vision – our ability to mirror reality, undistorted – by pretending we didn’t see the hypocrisy around us. Over time, we forgot that we were pretending – we became unconscious of our true nature as perfect mirrors of reality. In a very real sense, we went to sleep. Fortunately, we can wake up. We can retrieve the memories of self-betrayal, own them, forgive ourselves and reconnect with our innate clarity of vision.

To support the process of reconnecting with your inner child, we will use simple, but effective, techniques such as:
• intuitive dialogue
• gestalt
• mirroring
• guided regression

You will learn how to recognize when you are reacting from the habits of the past and to move instead into the clarity of the here and now. This is what is meant by embracing the inner child. In that clarity you will find the gentle strength, the joy, and the clear-eyed innocence that comes with being at one with yourself and existence. You will learn ways to relax into this space in your daily life – it can become your home again – with the added dimension of gratitude, for paradise regained.

WHAT IS INCLUDED?

• A LIVE online session of 90 minutes. You can book one session, though a series of sessions is recommended
• Support to experience the powerful transformation of emotion and distress that occurs when you move to the space of witnessing – watching with self-compassion and without judgment
• All your questions and concerns responded to with love and respect
• Directions regarding OSHO Meditations that may support you at this stage of your journey

Osho’s guidance is that primal work is specifically designed for those from western cultures with western conditioning.

“Happiness is the function of your consciousness when it is awake, unhappiness is the function of your consciousness when it is asleep. Unconsciousness is your mirror burdened with much dust and luggage, and the past. Happiness is when the burden has been dropped and the mirror is found again; your mirror can again reflect the trees and the sun and the sand and the sea and the stars. When you have again become innocent, when you again have the eyes of a child – in that clarity you are happy.” Osho

Conscious Relating Session

Conscious Relating Session

When we abandon our true selves in order to keep the affections of the other, we do so in the expectation of getting something in return. This is a recipe for misunderstanding and resentment.

“Immature people falling in love destroy each other’s freedom, create a bondage, make a prison. Mature persons in love help each other to be free, they help each other to destroy all sorts of bondages. And when love flows with freedom there is beauty.” Osho

From childhood our self-responsibility is usurped and replaced with a sense of responsibility for others and their feelings, and we lose connection with our spontaneous natural being. Our love relationships in later life reflect this, becoming a set of mutual compromises that feed our illusions of security and permanence. This kind of relationship may appear to work well in terms of success in the world, but once the honeymoon is over, the question arises for many “Is this all there is?”

A really alive relating, based on an overflow of being-love is an ongoing expansion of awareness and freedom. Unless we are growing in this way our love will stagnate and become a prison.

By deeply accepting ourselves and the other as we are, we transform the irritations and petty grievances of life into opportunities for growth. We become aware of our own blind spots – the places where we have yet to shine light on our unconscious habits and expectations.

In an atmosphere of trust and acceptance this session will support you to move to a state of presence in the here and now. You will experience the confidence and self-trust this brings and discover ways of communicating that enhance growth and freedom in your relating.

“Love happens only when you are mature. You become capable of loving only when you are a grown-up. When you know that love is not a need but an overflow – being-love or gift-love – then you give without any conditions.” Osho

This session is open to individuals and couples.

Coaching Session

When a life issue arises, we may find ourselves retreating from it, pretending it is not there and burying our head in the sand; or we may find ourselves desperately trying to solve it, but getting more and more entangled because we can’t see clearly what is going on. The wonderful truth is that life issues exist only because of this lack of clarity and the solution is much simpler than we think.

As Osho explains:

“This is the most important thing to understand about life-problems: they are created by your unclarity of vision. So, it is not that first you see them clearly, then you find the solution, and then you try to apply the solution. No, the process is not that long; the process is very simple and short. The moment you can see your life-problem clearly, it dissolves. It is not that you have now found an answer that you will apply, and someday you will succeed in destroying the problem. The problem existed in your unclarity of vision. You were its creator.”

 

The purpose of the session is to support you while you feel your way around the identifications and obsessions that cloud your vision, feel them, see them clearly, and allow them to dissolve in the light of awareness. This is a skill that you can carry with you and use whenever your life feels complicated and confusing.

To find the space of clarity and learn how to return to it until it becomes your unshakeable reality is the spiritual journey.

“Use the clarity to look into problems and try not to change things; just try to accept them. Go on creating more and more clarity – and that is the only change that there is, that is the only mutation. Go on moving higher and higher on the wave of clarity and awareness. As you go higher a different world comes to your vision. The world remains the same, but your clear eyes now give you a different picture, and by and by everything falls in line. One day one realizes that everything is as it should be.” Osho

 

Counseling Session

The nature of the issues you are facing might vary and can include loneliness, depression, anxiety, the need to manage harmful behavior and related emotions, addictions, challenges to cope with traumatic experiences or as simple as to have for once someone to share with and listened.

Rather than receiving advice, the purpose of Counseling is to support, encourage, and empower you to reconnect with your own clarity and sense of direction.

You are better equipped to feel what is in the way and what you need to move to shed new light on issues that are presenting themselves in your life, while you are held in, and being surrounded by a private, neutral, environment.

“There is no tomorrow. If there is a tomorrow, you cannot stop worrying about it. Tomorrow never comes, it is a process of worrying. Nor is there any yesterday. One is no more; one is not yet. All that is in our hands is the present moment, now, here. And this is a miraculous experience. If there is no yesterday, no tomorrow, and this very moment you are silent, all worrying disappears. All imagining, dreaming, projecting disappears.” Osho

Learning to encounter your issues in present time, Here and Now, already this very action in this meditative awareness allows you to relax and create a distance between you and the issues. In its turn, this disidentification with the issues deepens your ability to stay more present.

“A belief simply means you don’t know, still you believe. My effort here is that you never believe unless you know. When you know there is no questions of believing; you know it…,” Osho

And

“And it is not that you have to enjoy this moment. That rejoicing arises out of this moment. But you are never here, you are always somewhere else. You are never in the now, you are always then. Otherwise, everything is available, but you are absent.” Osho

For Individuals and Couples.
