REIKI RYOHO, THE ART OF CONSCIOUS TOUCH

The techniques taught in this workshop are like arrows shooting in two directions at the same time. They help the client to find his natural state of equilibrium and are spiritual food or Sadhana (spiritual practice) for the practitioner.

The main focus of this workshop is perception training and hands on practice. Whatever you focus your attention upon is magnified. The more you learn to focus on energy, the more energy is available for the healing of your client on all levels.
We will practice various ways to perceive Reiki energy, the energy of your own energy body, as well as the energy of others, of animals and objects.
Additional exercises are:
1- Gathering non- verbal information from the client•s body before the treatment.
2- Distinguish between "negatively chargedô body areas and healthy ones.
3- Perceiving the body of the client as one unit and to scan it internally.
4- Exploring a powerful way to connect to the source of the universal life force- and how to use it in a treatment.

I developed this approach after five years of working with Dr. Usui's original Reiji- Ho and Byosen Techniques.

Other techniques practiced in depth are:
*Gassho Meditation. We will practice Dr. Usui's Gassho Meditation including the chanting of the Reiki- Principles in Japanese. This meditation was taught by Dr. Usui to his students to clean the inner clatter and to invite the Reiki energy instead.
*Group treatments, Hayashi style. Dr. Hayashi preferred to work upon one client with at least two practitioners.
*The Reiji- Ho Technique. This is one of the main techniques employed by Dr. Usui. Practicing it the student learns to find problem areas in his client's body intuitively.
*Byosen Scanning. This technique shows the practitioner which body areas are negatively charged. In Dr. Usui's time this was the prerequisite for a practitioner to receive the Second Reiki Degree.
*Joshin Kokyu- Ho. The breathing technique taught by Dr. Usui. This technique helps the practitioner to bring the energy from the heart to the Dantien or lower abdomen.
*Ketsueki Kokan (a technique favoured by Dr. Hayashi, never taught to Western Reiki practitioners before) It employs stroking, tapping and pushing.
*Opening the Mircrocosmic Orbit. This oriental technique teaches the practitioner to increase his energy input as well as the output.

Saturday and Sunday from 10 am to 6 pm. Cost Euro 300.

FAMILY CONSTELLATION WORKSHOP: WHERE THE LOVE IS HIDING

A three day workshop.
All of us carry within us an internal blueprint of our family. This blueprint enforces its subtleties upon us in the unconscious in our ways of relating to our self, to our surroundings and to others. With the help of Family Constellations this blueprint manifests itself clearly before our eyes, and with simple, yet powerful interventions, harmony can be restored once more. The effects of this approach go far beyond personal psychological matters. Instead of looking for problems we will pay attention to where love is hiding in our relationships to our bodies, partners, family members, countries, cultural and religious groups. Acknowledging what is, the arrow becomes the target.

This workshop is open to anyone wishing to look at family, health and psycho-spiritual issues, as well as for those who would simply like to bathe in the morphogenetic healing field. Those who would like to work with the issues mentioned above should come with as much knowledge as possible about their family history on both paternal and maternal sides.

PEELING THE ONION: A WEEKEND OF SELF- DISCOVERY

All of our search circles around one central question: Who am I? This is the only question worth asking and at the same time it is the only question that will lead you astray from yourself if it were answered!

During this weekend we will dive into our selves and look at who is looking through your eyes, who is happy and sad, energetic and tired. We will learn to pay attention to who is experiencing all that is happening right here, right now.

What keeps you from being happy is the fact that you spend most of your life dreaming of either past or future. Because of this constant dreaming you miss the only time that really exists: The Eternal Now. With the help of powerful meditation techniques, breathing exercises, mental imagery and the in- depth exploration of our senses we bring the attention to the present moment.

We discover what keeps us in a dream world and what wakes us up. We learn simple techniques we can use in our daily life to stop the chatter of the inner dialog, and to rest once again in the immovable wisdom of this moment. Step by step we look at what prevents us from being who we are. We look at our self- image, our dreams and ambitions, our concepts, belief systems and philosophies.

We explore how we sabotage ourselves with what we consider truth and lie, real and unreal, good and bad. And then, suddenly, we step out into the open sky- into this moment in all its beauty, into the Here and Now...

Cost Euro 210,-.

MEDITATION WORKSHOP: ACTIVE MEDITATION- MEDITATION IN ACTION

A three day workshop.

Meditation is commonly understood as something you do behind closed doors. Something you do with the help of a serious face, in a holy place. This workshop presents a completely different picture of meditation, based on the guidance of the spiritual master Osho Rajneesh. I have been a disciple of Osho since 1979 and spent five years in the masterÝs presence. Most of those five years I grew OshoÝs food. For a few month in 1988 I became one of OshoÝs bodyguards. Sitting in front of OshoÝs door, as well as guarding him in the Meditation Hall while the master was teaching, were unforgettable experiences, and have helped me to develop a state of motionless awareness.

Most of us mortals are not able to sit quietly in meditation in the beginning of our meditative career. With this in mind Osho taught what he calls active meditations. These techniques are tailored for modern man, and make use of a mixture of physical movement, cathartic breathing, stillness and silence. One hour of meditation a day in a quiet place is a good start, but we can learn to be in a meditative state all day long. And why have a little when you can have it all? For beginners it is important to make meditation a habit, and then expand the time spent in this state of mind throughout the day.

Creating a space that is conducive to meditation is equally important at first. But eventually we will have to learn how to create that space inside of our selves, because we can not rely upon the environment. Sitting silently in the Himalayan cave is easy. The silence of the mountains, the trees and rivers easily and gently persuades us to fall into synchronicity with it. The absence of society with all its challenges will help us to dive into our selves. But then comes the shock of returning to your worldly duties... the crying children, the demanding boss, the nagging wife, the angry husband, and the mother in law!

In this workshop we will explore the possibility of being in the world, yet not of it. We will learn to create a gap between the inner dialog and the one who is watching it. When that gap is created you are more or less free. All you have to do from that point on is to remember your self. And this is a process that will take the rest of your life. Meditation is not a technique, it is a knack. And this knack is often understood in the presence of others who have already imbibed it.

AYURVEDIC YOGA MASSAGE- TRAINING

with Dr. Taruna Sanjivani

Respect your body. If your body is neglected, you will not be able to find your inner harmony - because if the body is harmonious it helps attain inner harmony. Take every care of your health, of your body; love it, respect it, it is a great gift. It is a miracle, a mystery.

OSHO

Ayurvedic Yoga massage is a stimulating, deep tissue massage, using strokes with the hands and feet and special oil and powder to release tensions from the muscles and joints. Yoga based stretches, a specialty of this massage, are used to open the body and allow PRANA, the vital energy to flow more freely. It is the most effective way to release blocks, relax muscles and align the body. It can bring back the body's fluidity and vitality, relieve chronic tension, improve blood and lymphatic circulation. It reduces the stress and relaxes the mind.

The meditative Ayurvedic massage therapist whose touch comes from the space of love, acceptance and presence can help us to be relaxed and aware in each moment. Then the session becomes like a dance of energy--easy and flowing .We can relax and feel our innate beauty and aliveness on a deep level .This massage is an invitation to be at ease in the body. It brings us a sense of balance and grace, which compliments our natural body wisdom and helps it to harmonize and heal itself.
