Discover your meditation
At Inner Nature you can learn and practice all kinds of meditation techniques. Scroll on and you will find the most important. By experimenting with one or more methods, you discover which meditation suits you most at this moment in time.
Active
OSHO Active Meditations are specifically designed for contemporary people. They start active and end silent.
Silent
There are numerous methods of silent meditation, in which you look inside yourself in a still posture. The best known technique is vipassana meditation.
Guided
In a guided meditation you just follow the voice of the facilitator who helps you to go deeper into yourself.
Daily life
Meditation can happen anywhere and anytime in daily life. The essence is to be present each moment with whatever you are doing or whatever is happening inside.
Workshops
Regularly workshops are organized, sometimes with a guest facilitator. These are unique days or evenings in which you learn to experience in a light way a specific perspective for deeping of consciousness.

Meditating
at Inner Nature
Weekly, on Wednesday evenings, an OSHO Active Meditation is organized.
On Thursday mornings you can participate in a silent and/or guided meditation, which will be preceded by a short activating technique.
These meditations are suitable for both beginners and experienced meditators.
Individual
It is possible to book a few individual sessions, in which you could learn one or more meditation techniques, or in which the emphasis is on relaxation. If you are looking for a new direction in your life, you could opt for lifecoaching. The sessions are preceded by an introductory talk for which an appointment needs to be made.
Witnessing
Witnessing is the key to meditation. It means being present in a relaxed way with whatever is happening each moment in and around you – like a witness. The witness does not interfere in what is seen, there is no judgement and no identification. You áre not whatever you see, you are just an onlooker.
Witnessing is not something new that we need to learn. It ís our inner nature. We were already there as a newborn baby, before the mind developed. With a relaxed awareness of whatever is happening –bodily sensations, thoughts, feelings — you get free from the mind and you get in contact again with your own inner silence.
Meditation & Celebration
Often meditation is seen as a serious and grave affair, but in fact it is joyous and festive: in meditaton you get in touch again with existence. And existence is festive, it is a celebration. By bringing celebration into your life, it will be easier to free yourself from the mind. In this way you support your meditation. And life will be a lot more fun! Vice-versa, when you meditate, you will feel more and more joy and life will be more and more a celebration.
“My meditation is simple, it does not require complex practices. It is singing, it is dancing, it is sitting in silence. It is being at ease with existence. It is accepting that existence is your home”
Osho: The Dhammapada: The Way of he Buddha, Vol. 8, #2
Meditation of the month
Just listening
Attentive listening is an entrance to meditation. It doesn’t matter what the sound is you listen to. It can be natural and beautiful like a bird singing or a flowing stream, or it can be a sound you normally don’t like, for instance the sound of traffic.
Listen to the sounds around you, without judgements like beautiful or ugly and without losing yourself in associations that are perhaps triggered in you by these sounds.
Just listen…
