Primal

“Primal therapy is based basically on the past. You have to go backwards to free yourself from the past, you have to reach to the first primal scream, then you will be free. …” OSHO

PRIMAL: Healing the Past, Creating a New Future

The separation between what we feel and what we think we should be needs to be healed.
Inside us still lives a child who came into the world with a multitude of natural gifts, overflowing with sensitivity and connected to the whole of existence.
“Primal therapy is based basically on the past. You have to go backwards to free yourself from the past, you have to reach to the first primal scream, then you will be free. So freedom means, for primal therapy, for psychoanalysis and for other therapies, that the past has to be dropped. You have to fight with it, you have to somehow manage to disentangle yourself from the past; then you will be free.”
OSHO The Book of Wisdom

When this child did not feel supported in its true nature in the past, it learned to give up its desires and dreams. When you welcome this child into your adult life, you begin a profound journey of transformation. The Primal workshop opens the door to a ‘journey through time’. It allows you to travel back in time and explore which past situations still influence how you live today.

PRIMAL - DECONDITIONING FROM CHILDHOOD

Primal provides different tools to understand and release the most unconscious layers of your personality.

In Primal, you are guided step by step back in time through the stages of your development, rediscovering parts of yourself. You are supported to express and release emotions from the past that block the flow of your vitality.

By healing the roots, you can again access your potential and celebrate the lightness and freedom of being you regain when the old weight of conditioning is dissolved.

WHAT IS PRIMAL WORK?

Primal is a therapeutic method for working on oneself.

It is a process in which you return to the first seven years of your life, highlighting the conditioning you received and any wounds related to that period.

Primal work includes approaches such as Gestalt Therapy, Bio-Energetics, Levine’s trauma work, Almaas’ Diamond Approach, etc.

While embracing all these methods, Osho Miasto’s primal work approach is meditation-based, supported by the practice of active techniques, and nourished by Osho’s vision and insights.

Primal is a process that leads you to your most authentic nature through deeper and deeper layers of conditioning.

“That is the function of Primal Therapy: it makes you again primitive, it brings you to the point of innocence.”

OSHO, The Dhammapada: The Way of the Buddha.

WHAT NEED IS THERE TO GO BACK TO THE PAST WHEN LIFE HAPPENS NOW, AND WE HAVE A FUTURE AHEAD THAT SEEMS MORE IMPORTANT?

The past still surrounds us with its burden.

Every time we react to a situation, we carry a repetitive behavioural pattern anchored in the past.

Sometimes, the past is trapped in the body, in certain tensions, pains or sorrows of our body-mind system.

The strategies we developed in childhood to cope with the family situation continue to run our lives.

The result is that we do not feel good about ourselves, cannot live healthy relationships, have problems with authority, or cannot express our creativity.

WHY DO THIS WORK NOW, AS AN ADULT?

As an adult, you have a developed body and nervous system capable of handling intense feelings. You have resources at your disposal that you did not have as a child: strength, courage, compassion, a desire to know yourself, and awareness. You are no longer helpless or dependent on your parents.

As an adult, you can realise that the situation that caused discomfort is a thing of the past. For example, instead of defending yourself and reacting automatically, as can often happen in everyday life, you can learn to relieve the discomfort during the Primal process in a protected and safe environment. You can deal with problems consciously whenever they arise and recognise them as you go along the conditioning that tries to direct them.

WHAT DO YOU DO IN PRIMAL WORK?

You focus on your beliefs, ‘shoulds’ and parental voices internalised in the mind. You realise that the brain has registered these ideas, and you have identified yourself by accepting them as your own.

An important part of the work is becoming aware of the effects of these messages and the reasons why you listen to them, to begin putting more distance between yourself so that you can slowly disidentify.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO OVERCOME THE WOUNDS OF CHILDHOOD?

The mind wants to have an agenda and guarantees: to do a workshop and be free forever. We all have the magical belief and hope that someone or something can solve our restlessness in a split second without any sorrow or effort on our part. The child in us waits for the blue fairy to perform the miracle with her magic wand.

It is impossible to tell how long it takes to complete the process triggered by Primal work; each growth is individual.

In any case, this question becomes irrelevant after a while: you begin a process of transformation in which you awaken your vitality and become more curious and more interested in discovering your inner reality than in achieving a goal.

Primal themes also emerge in other courses: in a way, all our problems are Primal issues because everything started in childhood.

A Primal workshop is neither the end nor the beginning of the healing process of the past.

A significant transformation occurs during the course and will continue if you allow it.

Most people who have gone through this process say that significant and radical changes have occurred afterwards.

“That’s what the meaning of Primal Therapy is: you have to go back, regress. Wherever something has gone wrong, you have to re-traverse the path, move to that point, undo that knot and move again.”

OSHO, Dang Dang Doko Dang
