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

“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.

Opening to the Inner Child

on 28/07/2020 31/01/2023 292 Views

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

“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

Primal Deconditioning Intensive

on 28/07/2020 31/01/2023 6,250 Views

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.

“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
