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.

Opening to Self-Love

on 28/07/2020 31/01/2023 423 Views

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

“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
