Mystic Rose Therapy

Oshosays “I have invented many meditations, but perhaps this will be the most essential and fundamental one.”

Mystic Rose is an intense three-week process, lasting three hours per day. The first week’s session induce laughter – for no reason at all – thereby dissolving the subconscious blocks to inner spontaneity and joy.

In week two, participants consciously enter crying – purposelessly again – letting go of buried pain & grief.

Emotional release leads to a soft lightness. The final week is dedicated to channeling the same into silent watching. Meditation happens!

“The symbol of the Mystic Rose is that if a man takes cares of the seed he is born with, gives it the right soil, gives it the right atmosphere and the right vibrations, moves on the right path where the seed can start growing, then the ultimate growth is symbolized as the mystic rose – when your being blossoms and opens all its petals and releases its beautiful fragrance. I have created a new meditation therapy.”

As Osho explains:

For seven days we laugh for no reason at all for three hours each day

“The first part… for three hours, people simply laugh for no reason at all…. Digging for three hours you will be surprised how many layers of dust have gathered upon your being. It will cut them like a sword, in one blow. For seven days continuously, three hours every day… you cannot conceive how much transformation can come to your being.”

“When a man reaches into his innermost being he will find the first layer is of laughter and the second layer is of agony, tears.”

For the second seven days, we cry for no reason at all for three hours a day

“So for seven days you have to allow yourself to weep, cry, for no reason at all – just the tears are ready to come.”

“The first part removes everything that hinders your laughter – all the inhibitions of past humanity, all the repressions. It cuts them away. It brings a new space within you, but still you have to go a few steps more to reach the temple of your being, because you have suppressed so much sadness, so much despair, so much anxiety, so many tears – they are all there, covering you and destroying your beauty, your grace, your joy.”

The third part is the time for the “Watcher on the Hill,” just watching whatever is happening inside or out.

“And my effort here is to take away all your scars and all your wounds and make you aware that you are just a watcher. A watcher cannot be wounded; no bullet can pass through it; no nuclear bomb can destroy it.”

“Just be a witness. Go on witnessing whatsoever passes in the mind, and the very process of witnessing has the whole secret in it.”

“Then you know that you are just the quality of reflection, that you are a pure consciousness, a witness, that you are a mirror and nothing else, that you are just a watcher, a watcher on the hill.”

“That is freedom. That’s what is called liberation, nirvana. And that man knows what benediction is!”

“Laughter is a great medicine. It is a tremendously powerful therapy. If you can laugh at your own unconscious, the unconscious loses its force. In your very laughter your guilt, your wounds, disappear.”

“I am giving you a very fundamental technique, fresh and unused. And it is going to become worldwide, without any doubt, because its effects will show anybody that the person has become younger, the person has become more loving, the person has become graceful. The person has become more flexible, less fanatic; the person has become more joyful, more a celebrant.”
