These practices can have their own type of 'addictive quality'. Yup. I think you have to be there in person, and have practiced for awhile to be able to judge. And I can say out of the 6 people who had aggressive spontaneous movements, 3 of them clinged to that spontaneous experience. Enjoyed it, relish in it. Vocally mumbling things like "love, yes, yes, love love". Did not want it to end, do not plan to end it. Have no control over it, has not plan to manage it. Almost knocking other attendees over from their movements and rolling around, when most of them just wanted some silence to experience the subtle conditions of the exercise. There is a blindness to the setting of the workshop that was really alarming. Alarmed Damo as well. He understood what was happening, and he had to try restraining them eventually.

Nungali Posted 7 hours ago At least he realized something . I have had to nurse some casualties that were the result of that practice that went to 'Rajneesh meditation' some self appointed orange gurus put on . They had no interest whatsoever in damage control or after care of people that were effected adversely from what they instructed them to do . MANY of these people stopped wearing orange robes , stopped their outer association with the movement and masked it ... but still go around teaching various things from their 'system' under other guises . Now, coming from a western perspective ( which is what the Rajneesh exercises basically are ) , it comes from Wilhelm Reich , known as the farther of modern western body work - and most 'body workers' (including some so called 'light workers ' ) and a whole range of different therapies as well . The idea is that these movements or convulsions ( or twitches, spasms , pains , paralysis ) in certain parts of the body are the physical counterpart and blockage of internal unresolved psychological issues . BUT the next step was to 'work on ' those areas with massage and similar therapy . Not just to let the person flop all over the floor ! Fer goodness sakes ! It can get to ridiculous proportions and become grotesque ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
