5 Day Silent Retreat

 

Allow yourself the luxury of just being.

With no outside influences to distract you, see what is possible when you bring your awareness, your attention, back to yourself. 

Through awareness of the breath, we can watch, without getting involved, as our mind’s dramas slow down. Our thinking process settles when we withdraw our attention and involvement with it.

Vipassana is known as an insight meditation. An insight is an understanding that can happen, not through thinking, but through giving the thinking process a rest – i.e. meditation.

We will be doing Vipassana sessions with an opportunity each day for an individual session, if you want to share with Shunyo what is happening for you.

 

“Silence is not a quality of the mind. Mind cannot be made silent. Silence is the quality of your inner soul, of your inner being. It is always there but whenever you become passive, non-thinking, you become aware of it, and then you are unoccupied. In that unoccupied moment, meditation happens.”….Osho

 

More people have experienced Satori with Vipassana than any other method. It is the technique with which Gautama the Buddha became enlightened.   However... a new approach, or support, is needed for modern man.  

"The world was very different in the past, obviously. 

About six weeks worth of sensory stimuli six hundred years ago is what we now get in a day. Six weeks worth of stimulation, information, we are getting in a single day - about forty times the pressure to learn and adapt. Modern man has to become capable of adapting to new situations every day because the world is changing so fast.

It is a great challenge.  A great challenge, if accepted, will help tremendously in the expansion of consciousness.

One thing is certain: there is no way of going back. The sensory stimuli will go on increasing more and more. You will be getting more and more information and life will be changing, with faster and faster rhythms. And you will have to be capable of learning, of adapting to new things." Osho - 

Vipassana is an insight meditation, and understanding about oneself comes simply through allowing the mind process to slow down.   It can be practiced by anyone at any time in any place.   To really learn and experience the depth of Vipassana though, there is no better way than give yourself the time and space of a retreat, with Osho's active meditations to support you and private meditation counseling as part of your retreat.   Allow yourself the luxury of just being, undisturbed by outside influences, and see what is possible when you bring your awareness, your attention back to yourself.
