“If you become capable of relaxing the body voluntarily, then you will be able to help your mind relax voluntarily.” Osho
The human body is genetically designed to survive and evolve through the experience of stressful events; the parasympathetic nervous system has an innate reflex capacity to activate a relaxation response and restore balance to the bodymind.
Are you stuck in fight or flight mode?
We live a lifestyle that is very different from the one that shaped our evolution, and our nervous system does not always have the chance to respond effectively to stress. This can occur when we repress our fight or flight instinct in the interests of maintaining an outwardly calm appearance, or in situations when we are disempowered and overwhelmed. Repression becomes embedded in the nerves and musculature as chronic stress. In other words, without realizing it, we remain constantly on high alert. This chronic stress undermines our health and wellbeing and our ability to operate effectively in the world.
Can I consciously restore balance to my nervous system? The answer is Yes
We will practice certain revolutionary techniques that activate the relaxation response of the parasympathetic nervous system and trigger your body’s innate ability to rebalance itself. You will gain the confidence to use the techniques on your own, whenever the need arises.
“First the body has to become utterly relaxed, like a small child, then only start with the mind. Move scientifically: first the simplest, then the complex, then the more complex. And then only can you relax at the ultimate core.” Osho

"Start from the body, and then go, slowly, slowly, deeper. And don't start with anything else unless you have first solved the primary. If your body is tense, don't start with the mind. Wait. Work on the body. And just small things are of immense help.” - Osho
