Chakras + Breath=Life

Wheels, Spirals of energy, Centers and countless other names for the word "Chakra." There are seven main chakras that run along the center line of the body. There are many more "minor chakras." This week, after Charging our energy with Dynamic Meditation, we will continue to energise through this simple and powerful technique.

OSHO Chakra Breathing Intensive

April 13th-18th

7-8am Weekdays 7.30-8.30 Saturday

Chakra Breathing is an active meditation technique, that uses the power of breath and musical sounds to activate and energize the chakras, or energy centers of the body.

We have seven major energy centers located along the midline of the body. Each chakra is connected to sound, color and light as well as to the organs and appendages of the body. For more information about chakras click here.

During these six day intensive we will begin to bring awareness to and revitalize these energy centers.

OSHO Active Meditations were created with the understanding that we live in a very different way today than in the times of the Buddha. These modern techniques prepare us to go into a space of awareness and relaxation. Using different physical movements, sound and/or breath to release tension and repressed emotions, a new energy and silence arise, allowing one to be more present in daily life.

Located at New York Core Center

115 East 23rd st at Park ave., 12th floor.

Contribution: $60 for all six days

Living in a Dynamic World

Today was the first day in what will be a series of OSHO Active Meditation Intensives. This week we will be diving into OSHO Dynamic Meditation. This is the one of the first techniques that I did and continue to practice. The effects of this technique on my life have been innumerable. For me the main effect is that I have been able to become aware of different destructive patterns that I have created in my life and through this awareness allow these patterns to dissolve. I was remarking to a new participant this morning that, although I have been doing this technique for some time, each time is new, is a discovery. Dynamic is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are gonna get! Over in Europe our beloved friends Ali Von Stein and Krisana Locke of Creative Module, have just completed a research project on the effects of Dynamic Meditation. Below you will find some info that Krisana sent to me about the work.

they were all so beautiful and really helped giving us lots of feedback
and filling out psychological test forms, and saliva testing for DNA and
RNA to test epigentics and the effects of meditation on the biology of
the body.
Viram and Urja, researchers from the North
Lake College Texas and John Hopkins University Washington DC, are so lovely and have contributed so much to this project too.
It was an intense week, with the screening day 2 days before where 60
people turned up hoping to be part of the project.
yes, they got paid as any international research project participants
must be paid. If they completed the 7 days and all the screening and a
follow up evening, a participant receives $120
There were 30 participants in total.

We hope to do a project in NYC this year too!

We hope that they bring this project to NY too, the tests results will be put in a scientific journal in a bout 6 months, we will keep you posted. If you want to do some research of you own come and join us this week for the remainder of the Dynamic Intensive and let us know what you think.

OSHO Dynamic Meditation Intensive
April 6th through April 11th
7-8am Weekdays 7.30-8.30am Saturdays
The technique consists of 5 stages: breathing, releasing, grounding, silence and celebration. Through these steps a joyous and relaxed balance is restored to body and mind and once the ground is prepared in this way meditation becomes easy and enjoyable. From this point you can begin to transform your daily life, bringing silence and celebration into any moment.
