“Everything changes. Only your witnessing buddha remains unchanging. It is the very center of the cyclone.” Osho
The world is changing rapidly and for many of us the illusion of security and stability that we have based our lives on is shattered. We can retreat into survival mode and find ways to avoid our feelings or we can take time to master the art of transforming energy.
“Times of crisis are both dangerous and immensely important. They are dangerous for those who have no courage to explore new dimensions of life… The daring individual can use this opportunity to go beyond mind.” Osho
Together we will practice techniques that can take us beyond the roller coaster of our daily dramas. We’ll look at the nature of emotion itself and see how our conditioning provokes our reactions. We will consider the questions: If my feelings come and go, what can I rely on for stability? and If I am not my feelings, who am I?

About Maneesha
Maneesha’s sessions – on meditation, all life-related issues and those around dying – are based on her 47 years’ experience of meditation. In addition, she spent seven years in Osho’s evening meetings (“darshan”), observing and recording his conversations with seekers from all over the world. This unique opportunity provided her with a passion for experimenting with meditative techniques and an invaluable learning in responding to a vast range of issues from a meditative perspective. The experience of twenty-plus years as an international meditation-based course facilitator continues to broaden her understanding, love, and respect for those she works with.
In addition, as a qualified psychotherapist, she has gained an added awareness of the human psyche, along with skills in creating rapport and supporting her clients in finding their way to clarity and understanding.
"Meditation is the only answer to all the questions of man. It may be frustration, it may be depression, it may be sadness, it may be meaninglessness, it may be anguish: The problems may be many but the answer is one. Meditation is the answer." - Osho
