In fact, for the modern man nothing works better than the meditations designed scientifically by Osho.</p> </div> </div> <div class="faq-item"> <div class="faq-question"> Why Osho’s methods are active? <span class="faq-icon"><i class="fas fa-chevron-right"></i></span> </div> <div class="faq-answer"> <h5>In Osho’s own words:</h5> <p>I use chaotic methods rather than systematic ones because a chaotic method is very helpful in pushing the center down from the brain. The center cannot be pushed down through any systematic method because systemization is brainwork. Through a systematic method, the brain will be strengthened; more energy will be added to it. Through chaotic methods the brain is nullified. It has nothing to do. The method is so chaotic that the center is automatically pushed from the brain to the heart. If you do my method of Dynamic Meditation vigorously, unsystematically, chaotically, your center moves to the heart. Then there is a catharsis.</p> <p>Then catharsis is needed to unburden the heart, to throw off suppressions, to make the heart open. If the heart becomes light and unburdened, then the center of consciousness is pushed still lower; it comes to the navel. The navel is the source of vitality, the seed source from which everything else comes: the body and the mind and everything.</p> </div> </div> <div class="faq-item"> <div class="faq-question"> Do I have to be an Osho follower? <span class="faq-icon"><i class="fas fa-chevron-right"></i></span> </div> <div class="faq-answer"> <p>No, we welcome all people. </p> </div> </div> <div class="faq-item"> <div class="faq-question"> Can I come if I cannot do active meditations when I have injuries and body pain? <span class="faq-icon"><i class="fas fa-chevron-right"></i></span> </div> <div class="faq-answer"> <p>Yes, you can participate in meditations like OSHO Nadabrahma. </p> </div> </div> <div class="faq-item"> <div class="faq-question"> Can I stay longer if I decide to, after a group? <span class="faq-icon"><i class="fas fa-chevron-right"></i></span> </div> <div class="faq-answer"> <p>Yes, of course.
