samaya ashram

Dissolve...

"Walk, with awareness. Eat, with awareness. Breathe, with awareness."

Discover harmony

"Happiness is a shadow of harmony; it follows harmony. There is no other way to be happy."

Find the path

"The feminine is more powerful than the masculine, the soft is more powerful than the hard, the water is more powerful than the rock."

Meditation

"The modern mind has lost all capacity to wonder, to look into the mysterious, into the miraculous - because it thinks it knows."

Let go...

"All that is great cannot be possessed - and that is one of the most foolish things man goes on doing. We want to possess.."

Awareness...

"Awareness is the greatest alchemy there is. Just go on becoming more and more aware, and you will find great fulfillment."

Meditation at Samaya Ashram in the Bush

We have here an array of techniques to help us transcend body and mind. Below are the details for six types practiced regularly at the ashram - although there are many more!

Vipassana

Vipassana Meditation
A practice of self-transformation through self-observation and introspection - to the extent that sitting with a steadfast mind becomes an active experience of change and impermanence.

 

 

Dynamic (Osho)

Thumb

This is a meditation in which you have to be continuously alert, conscious, aware, whatsoever you do. Remain a witness. Don’t get lost. You can become one with the breathing so much that you can forget the witness. But then you miss the point.

 

Meditation in Action

Meditation in Action
Meditation in Action means bringing awareness to everything we do. When we work in the gardens, the forest or the buildings we try to be completely absorbed and focused on in each moment of each task.

 

Kundalini (Osho)

Thumb

This meditation lasts for one hour and has four stages, three with music, and the last without.

Kundalini acts like an energetic shower, softly shaking you free of your day and leaving you refreshed and mellow

 

Drum & Hum

Thumb

Vibrate with nature and each other. Locate and activate the seven chakras through percussion and voice work...

 

Open Heart

Thumb

Its only by truly opening our hearts that we can experience the ecstacy of freedom and connection. Here we learn and practice just that
