CLICK LOGO FOR FREE DOWNLOAD - OSHO HEART OF CREATIVITY "There are two types of creators in the world: one type of creator works with objects - a poet, a painter, they work with objects, they create things. The other type of creator, the mystic, creates himself...he works with the subject; he works on himself, his own being. And he is the real creator, the real poet because he makes himself into a masterpiece. Drop the idea of becoming someone, because you are already a masterpiece. You cannot be improved. You have only to come to it, to know it, to realize it."
"Gratitude", "Acceptance", and "Conscious Breathing" are three theraputic meditations that comprise the Osho Heart of Creativity. The meditations were created in 1991 by Shunyo, a Zen artist and holistic counselor, to support his counseling clients to allow creative life changes, to celebrate life with love and awareness in the marketplace. The enlightened mystic, Osho, taught that a human being is a multi-dimensional holistic organism: “Being, Heart, Mind, Body”. An infant is not just a body. An infant is also pure feeling, heart, energy without thought. At the infant’s center is a spiritual “being”, consciousness, pure energy without form. Being pulses energy which activates our breathing, giving life to the body even when we are asleep. Being is always here now and has the quality of existential knowing, of being a transcendental "witness" to our other centers. Being is the source, the "heart", of creativity and love. Countries all over the world, particularly technological countries, condition children to develop a mind and strong sense of self, ego, before the heart center is fully developed through love. These cultures value the mind over heart because a mind is need to survive and communicate with others. In time a child becomes identified with the mind as “who I am” and interacts with the world though the mind at the expense of the heart. A sense of loneliness and futility can develop when, as an adult, the individual becomes identified with the mind and loses touch with the heart and being. At the heart of each OHOC meditation is the understanding that the mind is useful, but that the heart is the doorway to being, fulfillment, love, and creativity. The Gratitude and Acceptance meditations explore the mind and its desires because that is where most of us are at. We are identified with the mind and have desires. The meditations bring unconscious desires to our awareness so that conscious choices can be made to support our conscious growth. The first stage of each OHOC meditation uses conscious breathing to bring us from the divisive world of mind to the heart. During the second 15-minute stage we are supported to relax into the present moment and be a witness of the body, mind and heart.
