The Ashram Experience
This time I had the chance to attend many new meditations containing the wonderful and powerful techniques of Osho.
I experienced No Dimension Meditation which is a sort dance movement, then whirling (my favorite) and then laying face down. I also went to Mandala Meditation in which one runs in place for 1/2 hour; then sits and allows the body to flow either in rocking or gentle movements 10 minutes; then makes clockwise eye movements for 10 minutes and then just sits in silence. This one was so powerful I felt like I was walking on the moon afterwards.
I also attended a piece called Heart Dance which incorporated song and Sufi dancing. It was fun and in it, I met lots of people. I am clear I will use some of this at my next TrancenDance in DC at the beginning of the Ecstasy course. I had forgotten how lovely Sufi dancing can be and how connective.
I was able to attend Kundalini Meditation and Nadabrahma Meditation as well. So, I really had a full dose of many of the techniques.
Of course I danced in the Buddha Grove as often as I could and generally had a great time seeing old friends and making new ones. As a matter of fact I had as good a time outside the ashram as inside.
After Sharon left, I moved into and apartment with two beautiful men Anandgyan from Italy and Saksheen from Argentina. I stayed with them for 7 days and we had a ball together. We stayed up late and discussed many subjects from what's happening in the ashram to the mastery of self-love. I even went to a fantastic concert with Anandgyan at an old fort in the center of Pune.
The concert was called Remember Shakti and was a mixture of east meets west with the featured stars Zakir Hussain (most famous tabla player in the world) and John MacLoughlin (American guitar player from the old Mahavishnu Orchestra days). The other musicians were equally powerful and the Indian singer Mahadevan was amazing.
In addition to hanging out with the guys, I saw my friend Jwala often and I went to have massages from my old freinds at Shaka Spa. I also had many meetings with Ashiq and was able to buy gemstones and tankas from him.
Four more weeks in India were in front of me at this point and I felt great!
