Meditation Full Day Workshop: From Head to Heart to Being

"Meditation is a death – death of all that you are now. Of course there will be a resurrection, but that will be a totally new, fresh original being which you are not even aware is hidden in you.”

OSHO

Beloved SSN Community,

Sydney Spiritual Network will be hosting a Full 1 Day meditation for our community. This will be an opportunity to go deeper into meditation and experiment with both passive and active styles of Meditation techniques, all designed by Indian Mystic and Meditation Master Osho.

Who are SSN?

Sydney Spiritual Network are a community focussed on using the power of community to move deeper into ourselves and discover the eternal truth. Together we have community social events, meditations, emotional healing workshops and celebrations.

Why active Meditation?

Meditation is often a very confronting and challenging experience. The act of sitting still in silence even with the aid of a technique almost immediately brings up any suppresses emotions alongside their related thought patterns. These cycles have been hidden deep down in the subconscious and with good reason, they were formed to protect us from a perceived danger (usually during infancy) which no longer exists. So active Meditation is a way of giving our system an opportunity to release and express the energy and emotion powering these deep hidden cycles through dance, shaking, body movements etc... It is the process of catharsis.

Once emotions are expressed through the system a natural silence is left, this is where all meditation begins. One is emptied out, existing now as pure content-less awareness, a blissful experience, free from the pull of impermanent thoughts, emotions or sensations. The active aspect of the meditations serve as a kind of preparation by emptying our minds of thoughts, purging blocked emotions with silence being a natural bi-product of this process. This is the science behind Osho’s methods.

What can I expect on the day?

On the day, there will be clear instructions given for each meditations where there will be opportunities to ask questions. We will explore 6 different Active Meditations, lasting between 40 mins to 1 hour each, the schedule will look something similar to the below:
