Last month at the week-long Osho Risk Summer Festival in Denmark, I re-confirmed my deep trust in the alchemy of celebration. Milarepa was there with his band, and I saw, yet again, how dancing, singing, meditating together, playing, laughing, and feasting together creates an energy field that lifts the consciousness of everyone within it, to new heights, towards light.

When I arrived there I was harried, depleted, and nearly - no actually - depressed from traveling so much, and felt in need of a break. “Where”, I asked myself, “am I going to find the juice to lead my events”?

But with no time to think, I jumped into a whirlwind week of Tantric events, singing in the Evening Meeting, Heart Dance, playing in the Cabaret show, parties, incredible food, hugs galore…a veritable love feast!

I saw, within myself as the week progressed, a gradual inner movement towards light, happiness and joy, that welled up naturally. I felt deeply nourished and "simple at heart" in a way that gave me courage to be myself. Now, several weeks later I am still surrounded by the fragrance of meditation and celebration that we all created together at Osho Risk.

Don’t miss your local Osho celebration/festival—feel the love, smell the flowers!
Many Osho Centers have Festivals and Celebrations throughout the year, and in Italy, August Festivals abound.

At the end of groups people always ask me, “Aneesha, how can we maintain this space we have opened here in the group?” And I always answer, “Well, if you can keep doing Dynamic and Kundalini meditations, it will be really helpful.” But I know that it’s sometimes difficult to get a whole hour every morning or afternoon for meditation.

So instead, try this for 10-15 minutes:

1. Stand grounded, in one place, with knees bent, and let your body begin to shake and move, and breath a little deeper.; let your body speak its own gibberish through chaotic movements.
2. Then begin to speak gibberish right out loud, talking nonsense language. Use your voice! Let the body gibberish and voice gibberish move as if connected. Empty yourself of all the nonsense and craziness you normally hold inside.
3. STOP! Stand or sit in absolute stillness and silence for 5 minutes.
4. Soft dance for 5 minutes.

It sounds simple, but try it out and see how it can wake up your day!
