LAUGHING ZEN

The Mystic Rose

OSHO MYSTIC ROSE MEDITATION RETREAT

In the beauty of Italy’s Tuscany

August 13 – 02 September, 2012

The three week long Mystic Rose Meditation Retreat is the ultimate experience of inner transformation! It is facilitated in the Osho Miasto Commune in Tuscany, which is one of the most beautiful meditation places in the world and a perfect environment for the union of inner and outer nature.

This extraordinary process challenges all traditional ideas of therapy and meditation and guides you from one week laughing to one week crying and one week of silence and celebration. It merges modern insights of western science with the power of eastern meditation. It’s Osho’s vision of Zorba the Buddha – the New Man!

Laughter releases emotional tension, dissolves depression and has a profound healing effect on the muscular, circulatory, immune, nervous and hormonal system. In laughing you simply forget your mind – you forget thinking – and find inner balance.

Crying reaches even deeper! It is the most natural way to heal pain. Here you can cry all the tears you have repressed in many lifetimes. Your heart can open and rejoice again – rejoicing in being a loving, healthy and sensitive being.

When watching yourself – your breath, body sensations, feelings or thoughts – you move into the secret world of meditation. You experience an inner silence, which you might have never touched before. Deeply refreshed and rejuvenated in body, mind, heart and spirit there is only one way left to go – to celebrate life.

 

All that this world needs
Is a good cleansing of the heart,
Of all the inhibitions of the past.
Laughter and tears can do both.
Tears will take out all the agony
That is hidden inside you
And laughter will take all that
What is preventing your ecstasy.
Once you have learned the art
You will be immensely surprised:
Why has this not been told up to now?
There is a reason:
Nobody has wanted humanity
To have the freshness of a rose flower
And the fragrance and the beauty.
