Transform lives with Primal Therapy

“…the natural healer: he never leads you, he never follows you, he accompanies you. He simply holds your hand; he is a friend.”  Osho

 
A unique opportunity to learn about and work with people in a deep, transformative way. This unique training is rooted in both psychotherapy and body oriented energetic work and provides you with the structures necessary to support your clients in understanding and healing early childhood wounds.

A primal journey begins in the present and leads you step by step back to your childhood, where you’ll experience and understand the parental and social conditioning used to indoctrinate you. This Osho related therapy is based on a loving awareness of supporting people, knowing that their problems and your problems are not different.

“Those who are not yet themselves, know nothing about themselves, have no idea of their individuality, who are still lost in their personality which is fake and created by the society, cannot help anybody else to attain individuality. Even with all good intentions, it is simply not possible.”  Osho

 
This comprehensive training consist out of 4 parts of 7-days each and a supervision week of 7-days and takes place in the OSHO International Meditation Resort, Pune, India and in Centrum Venwoude, Lage Vuursche, the Netherlands.

“And you have also to make it clear: “I am also learning while I am trying to share my experience. When I am listening to you, it is not only your problems; they are my problems too. And when I am saying something, I am not only saying it, I am listening also.
“Emphatically make it clear that you are nobody special. This has to be done in the beginning of the group, and this has to be carried on as the group goes deeper, exploring. You just remain an elder, who has gone a few steps ahead; otherwise you will not be able to help people. They will learn the technique and they will become therapists on their own. And there are enough fools – five billion fools – on the earth; they will find their own followers.
“It is a human weakness that when people start looking up to you, you start thinking, “There must be something great in me if people are looking up to me.” They are in trouble; they are suffering from human frailties. But you are also human, and to err is absolutely human. Without any condemnation, with great love, help them to open themselves – and this is possible only if you open yourself.”  Osho

Primal Mirror

How did your parents mirror you in childhood and what is it you had to repress to receive their love? Recognizing when our childhood movie takes over, we can mobilize the adult part inside us and come back to what is natural and healthy.

Looking in the mirror of the past; recognizing the false identifications from childhood

“From childhood we are taught that be a good man. Nobody teaches us to be a true person.”  Osho

 
As children we develop a series of false identities or masks in response to the expectations and projections of those we depend on for survival. Over time these roles become autonomous and start to run our lives. We move between these roles with little or no awareness when we get triggered by external events in our woundedness.

Wounding happens when we are not seen and loved unconditionally as children. The wounded child inside us is a powerful and convincing identification which can keep us stuck in defense mode and, when triggered, we start to act out the same childhood movie from our past.

WHY ATTEND THIS COURSE?

In Primal Mirror we learn to bring in awareness so we can recognize when we are triggered and can step out of the unhealthy identifications from childhood. We start to listen and accept ourselves instead of remaining stuck by criticizing ourselves or blaming others. We begin to heal our wounded inner child by giving it the love and reassurance it needs – from our own adult resources.

You can attend this course when you are newly exploring the concept of the inner child or when you are familiar with your inner child, to reconnect again with this immensely resourceful part inside us.

Reclaiming and healing our inner child allows us to regain the spontaneous joy and wonder of life. It is the essential journey of life to become a child again – healed, whole and awake.

“Watching the mind, being aware of the mind — without choosing any side, choicelessly being aware — that is the secret.”  Osho

 
WHAT WILL I LEARN?

  • To understand the realm of our inner child.
  • Learning the difference between the witness, the adult, the wounded child, and the natural, healthy inner child.
  • What to do when you get identified with your wounded inner child?
  • How to strengthen the adult part inside you and, by doing so, have the tools to change your present experiences.
  • Meditative techniques that allow you to move beyond your conditioning into being – into who you are at your very core.

WHAT IS INCLUDED?

  • A live 3-day residential course starting the evening before
  • Thursday we start at 16:00. After registration and settling in the venue, we have an OSHO Active Meditation to arrive and unwind from the travel. Dinner will be served and there is time to connect and chill-out with the other participants
  • Friday, Saturday and Sunday: approximately 12 hours per day with regular breaks including OSHO Dynamic and OSHO Kundalini Meditations
  • Various techniques to explore issues related to your childhood and how these are influencing your present life
  • Sharing in the group and Q&A with the facilitator
  • Osho insights and quotes about early childhood conditioning

“Parents, because of their own investment – business, politics, religion, philosophy – are less interested in the potential of the child. They are more interested in how to mold the child so that he fits in their world, becomes respectable in their world, is not an outcast, is not a misfit. All this arises out of good intentions, but the result is not good. It is almost slaughtering the child, destroying, killing him. Most of his potential will always remain only potential. He will never be even aware what treasures he has brought with his life. He will die and those treasures will remain unopened.”  Osho.

Inner Child Work Online

How many of us have really been welcomed and raised in the way we were meant to be?
How hard have you tried to adapt to the wishes and expectations placed upon you as a child and in that process losing yourself without feeling love or even no longer feeling a purpose in your life anymore?
Our Inner Child is closely connected to all that is real about us and because of this it makes us feel immensely sensitive and vulnerable when we reconnect again with this part inside us.
This course is a healing process to uncover the layers of hurt that prevents us to be in close connection to our inner child.

Finding your way home again and having a sense of belonging

“This small child will grow up with a personality which others have given to him. And because of this personality, sooner or later a dreadful anxiety and anguish will be born in him – because he is phony. Anguish is born out of phoniness.
Bliss can only be born from truth, from that which is your true nature.” Osho

 
Our true nature consists of an individual unique set of essential qualities. Qualities like innocence, purity, wonder, trust, playfulness, joy, aliveness, courage, and more.

It is essential for us as adults to reconnect again with our inner child to heal the vacuum, emptiness, sadness, anger, and frustration we experience when we lose the connection with ourselves and life itself.

“In my vision, in a real human society, nothing will be imposed on the child – nothing at all. Not that the child will be left all alone to himself. No, he will be helped, but nothing will be imposed. He will be helped to remain whole; he will be helped to remain rooted in the essence. He will not be forced to shift his consciousness from the essence to the personality. The future education will not be an education in personality, it will be an education in essence.” Osho

 
In a safe and loving atmosphere, we will invite our inner child to make itself visible again in its true nature and in doing so reconnecting again to our aliveness and spontaneity.

Meditative awareness will support us to distinguish between what is learned behavior and what comes out of our own experienced understanding.

“A real education will make the child more meditative, so he never loses contact with his inner being. There is every possibility to lose because he will be moving with others, he will start imitating others. He will have to learn many things from others. Let him learn, but let him become aware that he is not to become an imitator.

“But that is just what is being done, and has been done down the ages. We teach children to become imitators: “Be like Jesus. Be like Socrates. Be like Buddha.” The child can only be truly himself and nobody else – ever. And whatsoever he will try to become will be false and phony.” Osho

WHY ATTEND THIS COURSE?
Feeling oneness within oneself brings us closer to meditation which in its turn allows us to feel oneness with that what surrounds us – the existence. Out of this we experience wholeness and wellbeing, we feel at ease and in flow with life itself.

WHAT WILL I LEARN?

  • How to start taking care of this immensely vulnerable part inside us
  • How to listen and learn to understand the language of our inner child
  • How to care for our inner child in our day-to-day life
  • That in meditation we are closest to our childlike nature

  • Group processes and group sharing
  • Osho quotes and insights about our childhood conditioning
  • Q&A sessions with facilitator

“If you teach a child meditation you are not indoctrinating him. You don’t say he has to believe anything, you simply invite him to an experiment in no-thought. No-thought is not a doctrine, it is an experience. And children are very, very capable because they are very close to the source. They have just come from God! They still remember something of that mystery. They have just come from the other world, they have not yet forgotten it completely. Sooner or later they will forget, but still the fragrance is around them. That’s why all children look so beautiful, so graceful. Have you ever seen an ugly child?”  Osho

Find the support you need to free yourself from the childhood traumas and conditioning that prevent you from living a free, creative, and authentic life. When we feel and see our conditioning and pain clearly, we become free of it – free to allow who we really are to flourish. We are much greater and more wonderful than we think. A chance to set yourself free!

Breakthrough to the essential you

“When a child is born, he does not bring the ego into the world. The ego is something that he learns, it is not part of genetics.”  Osho

 
Growing up is a process of forming a separate identity in response to our environment. Even at its most benign, the conditioning that helps bring about our sense of identity is based on a falsehood, the illusion of separation. Competition and fear flourish in the soil of this lie, opening us up to exploitation by those who provide us with a sense of safety. The price we pay for this security is to be molded by a series of do’s and don’ts that undermine our self-responsibility and cut us off from our true, spontaneous nature.

“All thoughts are borrowed: they also are given to you by the society; they too have come from others. You have learned them. In reality, you are the untaught that is within you. You are only consciousness, not the thoughts. Thoughts are like waves over you. Just as rubbish floats on the surface of a river, so are thoughts. But you are the river, the stream of consciousness.”  Osho

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

WHY ATTEND THIS COURSE?

We can succumb to the past, or we can revolt against it, but both reactions keep us trapped. Instead, we can explore our conditioning and, by seeing it clearly in the mirror of consciousness, become free of it – free to allow who we really are to flourish.

We will use self-enquiry techniques such as mirrorwork, expression through drawing and writing, and share our experiences in the group as a whole and in Zoom breakout rooms. This combination of self-enquiry and group sharing will allow you to open up and connect deeply with yourself in a safe and trusting atmosphere.

Your experienced facilitator will help you to clearly see the entangling emotions, beliefs and identifications that are keeping you trapped.

“As you go on removing the layers… And layer means identification with something you are not. Identification is taking yourself to be what you are not. To break the identification with what you are not, is meditation. Meditation is the key. By and by, only what you really are remains.”  Osho

Opening to Self-Love

Opening to Self-Love

An opportunity to confront the internalized negative voices we have been collecting since childhood. Understanding that the self-doubts and judgments we have about ourselves are rooted in these same voices, allows us to question them. From this clarity we learn to step out of this superego attack. Using awareness to reframe internally what truly belongs to us and what we are made to believe about ourselves by others and the society.

Just being ordinary and loving yourself for it!

“Once you are incapable of loving yourself, you will never be able to love anybody. That is an absolute truth, there are no exceptions to it. You can love others only if you are able to love yourself.” Osho

 
We live in a world that honors only prestige, and our schooling systems teach us competition and comparison. Children are judged by using shame and guilt. We learn from very early onwards to reject ourselves, because rarely are we loved just for who we are.

Our self-doubts and judgments are sustained in the learned behavior of comparing ourselves with others. With self-love we become less and less self-centered. We no longer need to prove that we are better, bigger, more beautiful, or intelligent then others. We can just relax in who we are.

Group sharing allows us to see that we all have similar beliefs that get in the way of our self-acceptance and that we are all sensitive, human, and worthy of love.

“Real love knows nothing of the ego. Real love starts first as self-love.
“Naturally, you have this body, this being, you are rooted in it; enjoy it, cherish it, celebrate it. There is no question of pride or ego because you are not comparing yourself with anybody. Ego comes only with comparison. Self-love knows no comparison; you are you, that’s all. You are not saying that somebody else is inferior to you, you are not comparing at all. Whenever comparison comes, know well it is not love; it is a trick somewhere, a subtle strategy of the ego.” Osho

 
WHY ATTEND THIS COURSE?

Opening to Self-Love is a beautiful opportunity to gain an insight into the ways we reject ourselves, and to see that everyone has the same beliefs and fears that stop us from being loving and compassionate to ourselves and others.

With a clear understanding and experience of these inner mechanisms, the old habits of self-rejection and doubt begin to fade away. This allows us to open to our own intrinsic and unique beauty and to rediscover our essential value. When we open up to loving ourselves, we find that our meditation deepens and happens more easily. It also opens the way for positive and loving relationships with others.

“I teach you self-love. And because I teach you self-love, you have to be very alert. Self-love does not mean selfishness. Self-love is possible only if you drop the idea of the self – that is the paradox – if you unself yourself.” Osho

 
WHAT WILL I LEARN?

  • To recognize your parental and social conditioning around self-love
  • To understand that self-love makes you selfless
  • To learn how awareness unhooks you from your negative internalized voices
  • To understand the concept of the superego
  • To understand the difference between self-love and being obsessed with oneself
  • That meditation is an act of self-love

WHAT IS INCLUDED?

  • A live 3-day course. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday
  • Friday: approximately 10 hours with breaks including OSHO Kundalini Meditation
  • Saturday and Sunday: approximately 12 hours with breaks including OSHO Dynamic and OSHO Kundalini Meditations
  • Various techniques to explore your issues related to self-love
  • Individual, paired and group exercises, designed to bring our inner critics into the light of awareness
  • Osho quotes and insights about our misunderstandings around self-love
  • Q&A sessions with facilitator

“Love starts with self-love. Don’t be selfish but be self-full – and they are two different things. Don’t be a Narcissus, don’t be obsessed with yourself, but a natural self-love is a must, a basic phenomenon. Only then out of it can you love somebody else.
 
“Accept yourself, love yourself, you are a creation of existence. The signature of existence is on you and you are special, unique. Nobody else has ever been like you and nobody else will ever be like you; you are simply unique, incomparable. Accept this, love this, celebrate this, and in the very celebration you will start seeing the uniqueness of others, the incomparable beauty of others. Love is possible only when there is a deep acceptance of oneself, the other, the world. Acceptance creates the milieu in which love grows, the soil in which love blooms.” Osho

Opening to the Inner Child

Opening to the Inner Child

Reconnecting with our inner child is like finding our way back home. Our inner child is the treasure keeper of what we had to leave behind in the process of growing up and becoming an adult. The inner child reminds us of how we once were in the past: in wonder, curious, trusting, and carefree. The days felt like a never-ending adventure. We were not yet exposed to grown-up’s problems like needing to be better, to be strong, to be more intelligent. All this to climb the ladder of success with a promise of fame and wealth in the future, and if at all we reach there, it never seems to satisfy us.

An invitation to become your real you again

“Meditation simply means learning to forget all that you have learned. It is a process of deconditioning, a process of dehypnosis.”  Osho

 
Some of the natural qualities of a child are innocence, playfulness, curiosity, radiance, joy, being non-serious and a sense of wonder about the mystery of life. Rather than supporting these qualities, parents and society force their own values onto the child’s vulnerable mind and vital, spontaneous impulses are slowly repressed.

For some of us this happens really early, but somehow sooner than later all of us are asked to become little performers. We learn how to please our caregivers and parents to receive the love and care we so deeply depend on for our survival.

Opening to the Inner Child is going on an adventure again. Re-discovering this precious part inside all of us. We will uncover the layers of emotional hurt that prevents us to reconnect with our inner child. We are invited to feel, give expression so the barrier can dissolve in a loving atmosphere. The result is a space of meditative awareness in which the natural child, with all its aliveness, can re-emerge.

WHY ATTEND THIS COURSE?

A healing journey to support and nourish communication and union between the adult part of ourselves and the child who lives inside us – and is so ready to enrich our lives.

If we want to live our adult life with truth, love, trust, and happiness, we need to turn inwards and reconnect with our inner child. This child was born sensitive, open, and is still connected to oneness.

WHAT WILL I LEARN? 

  • To feel where the inner child resides inside us
  • To listen and learn to understand the language of our inner child
  • How to start taking care of this immensely vulnerable part inside us
  • How to create more space for the inner child in our day-to-day life
  • To recognize and respect the boundaries of our inner child
  • That in meditation we are closest to our childlike nature

WHAT IS INCLUDED? 

  • A live 3-day course. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday
  • Friday from 09:00-18:00 with breaks including OSHO Kundalini Meditation
  • Saturday and Sunday from 07:00-18:00 with breaks including OSHO Dynamic and OSHO Kundalini Meditations
  • Various loving and playful techniques to explore your inner child
  • Alone time with your inner child
  • Group processes and group sharing
  • Osho quotes and insights about our childhood conditioning
  • Q&A sessions with facilitator

“The spring is there, and the fresh water is still running there – but rocks have been put around you. You have been blocked. Once those rocks have been taken away again you will become a child. It will be a rebirth. Again, you will start flowing. Again, your eyes will have luster and your face will have joy. Again, you will become luminous.”  Osho

AFH – The OSHO Freedom Process

AFH - The OSHO Freedom Process

With his profound understanding of the conditioned mind, and of the transforming power of meditation, Osho reframed the Fisher-Hoffman Process, an egocentric system; transforming it into what he called the Anti-Fisher-Hoffman Process.

AFH – The OSHO Freedom Process is a profound, twelve-day de-conditioning process that reconnects people with their roots and frees them from their past

This deep work enables us to liberate ourselves from any source of conditioning, be it from family, religion or society.

“My effort here is to destroy all conditioning – Hindu, Mohammedan, Christian, Jewish … it does not matter what kind of conditioning you are carrying; I want you to drop it. It is a weight.
And through all the therapies, I am trying to do something else which the West has not understood yet. Through therapies they try to bring you to normal humanity. Their psychoanalysis brings people to what they call sanity.
My therapies – and all the psychoanalytic methods used here – have a different purpose. It is not to make you into normal, average, so-called sane people: it is to cleanse you of all traps, all theories, all religions, all kinds of conditionings. All these therapies here are deprogramming you and leaving you free, without any program.
The negative part is being done by the therapies – they destroy your programming. And the positive part is done by meditation.” Osho

 
In our childhood we have always been directed to be, and to behave, in a way that was acceptable to our parents and society, rather than to be true to ourselves.
This has created a layer of conditioning and a false self which masks our true essence and hinders us from living a rich and full life – in our work, in our relationships and in our creativity.
When we look inward, we have no idea who we truly are; we find instead a deep longing to find love and freedom.

AFH – The OSHO Freedom Process opens us to an understanding of how our conditioning has been created and how it has been passed down from generation to generation. From this understanding comes freedom, grace, and responsibility for our own lives.

“And if you can risk, totally risk, not preserving anything, not playing tricks with yourself, not withholding anything, suddenly the unknown envelops you. And when it comes you become aware that it is not only the unknown, it is the unknowable. It is not against the known, it is beyond the known. To move in that darkness, to move in that uncharted place without any maps and without any pathways, to move alone into that absolute, the quality of the warrior is needed.
Many of you still have a little of it left because you were once children; you were all warriors, you were all dreamers of the unknown. That childhood is hidden but it cannot be destroyed; it is there, it still has its own corner in your being. Allow it to function; be childlike and you will be warriors again. That’s what I mean.” Osho

 
The process is mostly residential, in silence and in isolation, with only a limited number of participants.
Pre-requisite: Primal Deconditioning and emotional release work recommended.

Admission is by a series of interviews that start from 6 months prior to the start of the course.

For a pre-interview write to Kala

You will need to arrive in the OSHO International Meditation Resort, Pune at least one week before the process starts.

The Rebel

on Share   1,534 Views
The Rebel

This course is for everyone who has participated before in Primal Deconditioning Intensive and who still feels that certain patterns or habits are challenging to break or seem to slip back in over time. Where exactly do you sabotage yourself in your life and find crippling beliefs, or excuses not to show-up for yourself in the most loving way?

Owning up to ourselves is a liberating gift

“A rebel is one who does not react against the society, who understands the whole game of it and simply slips out of it. It becomes irrelevant to him.”  Osho

 
To keep living life according to our conditioning leaves us running around in circles, repeating patterns that keep us addicted, co-dependent, and fixed in negative behavior patterns.

When we stop blaming an outer reason or someone else to be the cause of our misery, we come to understand that the only change that can happen takes place from within ourselves. Then, whether our lives turn out to be an experience in paradise or having to go through hell again and again, is solely within our own willingness to take responsibility for what we have and what we can create in this very moment in our own lives.

“The pilgrimage of the rebel is full of surprises. He has no map, no guide, so every moment he is coming to a new space, to a new experience — to his own experience, to his own truth, to his own bliss, to his own love.”  Osho

 
Finding the source of our conditioning and taking responsibility for the unconscious patterns, enables us to start living our lives in a new way – in tune with the essential qualities and potential we were born with.

“Don’t become a revolutionary; become a rebel. A rebel is one who has no ideology, no ideals, who has nothing to impose upon himself, who takes life as it comes and takes it easily, who enjoys it, dances it and sings it. This spontaneity will give you the flavor called meaning. Otherwise life becomes just a repetition of the past. It is no more alive – just formalities and rituals; it becomes burdened.”  Osho

 
This course is recommended as a preparation for AFH – The OSHO Freedom Process.

WHY ATTEND THIS COURSE?

The Rebel focuses on developing our ability to watch without judgement – the key to a life of tremendous joy and freedom.

“The rebel is in a state of tremendous love with freedom — total freedom, nothing less than that. Hence, he has no savior, no God’s messenger, no messiah, no guide; he simply moves according to his own nature. He does not follow anybody; he does not imitate anybody. Certainly, he has chosen the most dangerous way of life; full of responsibility, but of tremendous joy and freedom.”  Osho

“The rebel has no path to follow; those who follow any path are not rebels. The very spirit of rebellion needs no guidance. It is a light unto itself.
 
“The people who cannot rebel ask for guidance, want to be followers. Their psychology is that to be a follower relieves them of all responsibility; the guide, the master, the leader, the messiah become responsible for everything. All that is needed of the follower is just to have faith. And just to have faith is another name of spiritual slavery.”  Osho

Primal Deconditioning Intensive

An intense residential primal process that uses various regression and emotional release techniques to work on the conditioning that got formed in the first 7 years of our lives – the blueprint of which we become, unconsciously, as adults.

Freeing oneself from life-negative conditioning – for a more authentic lifestyle

“All personality is false. Good personality, bad personality, the personality of a sinner and the personality of a saint – all are false. You can wear a beautiful mask or an ugly mask, it doesn’t make any difference. The real thing is your essence.”  Osho

 
Conditioning is given to us by parents, family, teachers, and society – it is a learned behavior. It fuels all that is false about us by maintaining the personality – a mask. This in turn disconnects us from our individuality and intrinsic essence – the place inside us where we feel at home, connected and at ease.

“Parental conditioning is the greatest slavery in the world. It has to be completely uprooted; only then will man be able to be really free for the first time, truly free, authentically free – because the child is the father of man. If the child is brought up in a way that is wrong, then the whole of humanity goes wrong.”  Osho

 
This process works through the layers of our personality which manifest as self-destructive behavior, addictions, and co-dependency issues.

We use different techniques, to re-connect with the healthy child within us – to set it free from the “hypnosis” of the past. And we will experience how meditation allows us to acknowledge our wounds while we remain in a space that is essentially untouched by them.

“Whatever is repressed will have to be witnessed; whatever is buried inside will have to be faced. Wherever we have made ourselves blind, we will have to create eyes. We will have to undo the things we were taught to do as children and redo them in a totally different manner. We will have to return to that point in our childhood at which our energy was stolen. This is why all religiousness is nothing but the reclaiming of childhood.”  Osho

 
Meditation on a daily basis will embed this new freedom into our daily lives allowing us to maintain a healthier and more fulfilled life – living the truth of who we are each moment.

WHY ATTEND THIS COURSE?

When we were not mirrored and accepted by our parents and/or caregivers in our true selves as a child, we had to cut off from our true potential. We had to build up a protective layer in order not to feel the pain of that. This layer became so strong over time that most of us completely forgot our essential qualities.

In Primal Deconditioning Intensive, through regression, gestalt therapy, rebirthing, and other techniques we find the way back to our true selves. Addressing the false beliefs about ourselves, we start to re-parent our “inner child”, we no longer need to act out its wounds in our present day-to-day life. And learning to distinguish the past from the present enables us to respond instead of reacting to life’s situations. We regain the natural flow of living our life according to our unique potential.

WHAT WILL I LEARN?

  • How to step out of the vicious circle of self-destructive behavior, addictions, and co-dependency issues
  • Learning to recognize our internalized parental voices
  • How to take responsibility for our own woundedness
  • To distinguish between the witness, the adult, the wounded child, and the natural, healthy inner child.
  • To understand that the only change can happen from within oneself
  • Meditative techniques that allow us to move beyond our conditioning – into being who we truly are

“So, the first, the most important thing, is the innocence of the sage. It is like the innocence of the children – but only like. The innocence of children is bound to be corrupted, but the innocence of the sage cannot be corrupted anymore – he has passed through that phase. His innocence has maturity, his innocence has integrity; his innocence is earned – he deserves it.”  Osho
