Ecstasy is our very nature
not to be ecstatic is simply unnecessary.
To be ecstatic is natural, spontaneous. It needs no effort to be ecstatic,
it needs great effort to be miserable.
That's why you look so tired, because misery is really hard work;
to maintain it is really difficult,
because you are doing something against nature.
Osho

Het boek : "Lachen maakt gelukkig" is uitgekomen en de audiocassette "lachmeditatie" is nu ook op CD

This is a 60 minute dancing meditation in three stages, with specifically created music.
Disappearing in the dance, then relaxing into silence and stillness, is the route inside for this method.

"Forget the dancer, the center of the ego; become the dance.
That is the meditation. Dance so deeply that you forget completely that 'you' are dancing and begin to feel that you are the dance. The division must disappear; then it becomes a meditation.
If the division is there, then it is an exercise: good, healthy, but it cannot be said to be spiritual.
It is just a simple dance. Dance is good in itself ­ as far as it goes it is good. After it, you will feel fresh, young. But it is not meditation yet.
The dancer must go, until only the dance remains.
Don't stand aside, don't be an observer. Participate!
And be playful. Remember the word playful always ­ with me it is very basic." Osho
First Stage: 40 minute
With eyes closed, dance as if possessed. Let your unconscious take over completely. Do not control your movements or witness what is happening. Just be totally in the dance.
Second Stage: 15 minutes
Keeping your eyes closed, lie down immediately. Be silent and still.
Third Stage: 5 minutes
Dance in celebration and enjoy.

                                             Osho Nadabrahma Meditation

Nadabrahma meditation lasts for one hour and has three stages. It is a sitting method, in which humming and hand movements create an inner balance, a harmony between mind and body. Suitable for any time of the day, have an empty stomach and remain inactive for at least fifteen minutes afterwards.

"So in Nadabrahma, remember this: let the body and mind be totally together, but remember that you have to become a witness. Get out of them, easily, slowly, from the back door, with no fight, with no struggle. They are drinking - you get out, and watch from the outside...." Osho

First Stage: 30 minutes
Sit in a relaxed position with eyes closed. With lips together, start humming, loud enough so that if you are doing it with others, you can be heard by them. This will create a vibration in your body. You can visualize a hollow tube or vessel filled only with the vibrations of the humming. A point will come when the humming continues by itself and you become the listener. There is no special breathing, and you can alter the pitch, and move your body smoothly and slowly, if you feel to.
Second Stage: 15 minutes
This stage is divided into two segments, of seven and a half minutes each. For the first part, move the hands, palms upwards, in an outward, circular motion. Starting at the navel, both hands move forward and then divide to make two large circles mirroring each other left and right. The movement should be so slow that at times there will appear to be no movement at all. Feel that you are giving energy outwards to the universe. After seven and a half minutes, the music will change and you turn your hands palm downwards, and start moving them in the opposite direction. Now the hands will come together towards the navel and divide outwards towards the side of the body. Feel that you are taking energy in. As in the first stage, don't inhibit any soft, slow movements of the rest of your body.
Third Stage: 15 minutes:
Sit absolutely quiet and still.

This meditation lasts for one hour and has four stages, three with music, and the last without.Kundalini acts like an energetic shower, softly shaking you free of your day and leaving you refreshed and mellow.

First Stage: 15 minutes
Be loose and let your whole body shake, feeling the energies moving up from your feet. Let go everywhere and become the shaking. Your eyes may be open or closed.

"Allow the shaking; don't do it. Stand silently, feel it coming and when your body starts trembling, help it but don't do it. Enjoy it, feel blissful about it, allow it, receive it, welcome it, but don't will it.
If you force it will become an exercise, a bodily, physical exercise. Then the shaking will be there but just on the surface; it will not penetrate you. You will remain solid, stone-like, rock-like within. You will remain the manipulator, the doer, and the body will just be following. The body is not the question - you are the question.
When I say shake, I mean your solidity, your rock-like being should shake to the very foundations so that it becomes liquid, fluid, melts, flows. And when the rock-like being becomes liquid, your body will follow. Then there is no shake, only shaking. Then nobody is doing it; it is simply happening. Then the doer is not." Osho
Second Stage: 15 minutes
Dance, any way you feel, letting the whole body move as it wishes. Again, your eyes can be open or closed.
Third Stage: 15 minutes
Close your eyes and be still, sitting or standing, observing, witnessing, whatever is happening inside and out.
Fourth Stage: 15 minutes
Keeping your eyes closed, lie down and be still.

Peace is truly in our hands. Let's go for it!

Introductie Humaniversity Aum-meditatie.

AUM staat voor Awareness, Understanding, Meditation. Het is een sociale meditatie, ontwikkeld door Veeresh, oprichter van de Humaniversity in Egmond aan Zee.

De AUM geeft je de gelegenheid jouw gevoelsleven en emotionele huishouding te onderzoeken. De meditatie is een groepsproces van verschillende fasen. In sommige fasen ga je met je aandacht naar binnen om contact te maken met je innerlijke wereld. In andere fasen ben je juist in contact met anderen die je inspireren jezelf helemaal aan de wereld te laten zien. Velen van ons weten dat boosheid en liefde twee kanten van dezelfde medaille zijn, maar in de AUM-Meditatie krijg je de gelegenheid dit te ervaren en te voelen . De AUM maakt je bewust van gevoelens, laat je emoties uiten waar in onze maatschappij weinig ruimte voor is en biedt je de mogelijkheid diepe liefde te voelen in contact met anderen. Het geeft je energie, ontspant en opent je mogelijkheden om nieuwe vriendschappen aan te gaan. De AUM-Meditatie bestaat uit twaalf fasen en is een inter-actieve meditatie in groepsverband waarin emotionele expressie, Bio-energetische oefeningen, dans en encounter elkaar afwisselen, van het ene uiterste naar het andere, om uiteindelijk tot stilte en inkeer te komen.

Dan kun je elkaar ontmoeten met een open, liefhebbend hart. De Aum wordt maandelijks in de Multiversity Amsterdam georganiseerd Data 2005: dinsdagavond 3 mei,7 juni, 5 juli, 6 september, 4 oktober, 1 november en 6 december. Tijd: 19.00 uur tot 22.30 uur. Locatie: Multiversity Amsterdam, Sarphatipark 5 te Amsterdam. Kosten: ¤ 15,00 Informatie Samarpan 06-10522182, E-mail: aum-meditatie@multiversityamsterdam.nl Website: www.multiversityamsterdam.nl
