Puna, Nobemver 19th, 2008

Today I finish my family constellation class participation. It was such a powerful experience. All in the class were very emotional and have gone through a life changing experience. All in all my participation was a bit on the side as I was translating to Pedro. But Pedro was such an intensive person that I basically did some of the work with him. The interesting thing is that individual cases become group cases, as people mostly identify with each others problems. Pedro easily cried and in many cases I found myself crying with him. Everybody liked Pedro and his sincerity.
The trainer of the class is a German woman which has lots of friends and work relationship with Israel. She has been working with some Israelis on Holocaust Survivors and their families. Trying to work the issues they inherited. She also works with Nazi ancestors which also have many trauma left. The constellation work is beautiful and very powerful. I was told that trainers come to Israel yearly from Osho for this class. I may take it there again.
Today I did wake up at 5:30 in the morning and went to the dynamic meditation. Dynamic is a 5 stage meditation of one hour. It starts every day at 6:00 AM for one hour. The 1st stage is very hard exhaling for 10 minutes. The idea is to try and clean your respiratory system and create some hyper-ventilation which get your brain energized. The 2nd stage is catharsis where everybody in the room (100s of people) shout and scream like crazy for 10 minutes. The 3rd stage you jump on your feet with your hands elevated and say hu hu when you land on your feet.
This stage is very had physically and the idea is to get you completely exhausted. After so much physical energy in the 4th stage you stay still in silence for 15 minutes. The last stage you lay down and enjoy the energy. This is very powerful and gets you very energized. The funny thing is that I got asleep on the last stage (as I was so tired) and found myself laying on the marble of this huge auditorium till 7:30, 30 minutes after everybody left. I was just awaken by the cleaners making some noise. Not very usual for me.
I think that tomorrow I'll take a brake from the Ashram and rest a bit. I need to make my mind either to stay longer or go to Goa. Today I also skipped the Osho talks which I don't enjoy much.
I re-met my Mexican friend Tamara. She works with Animal protection and I'm getting educated on the Mexican city issues of killing dogs, cats, how much fezes they generate a day and why we should operate dogs. She is very intensive and ideological on the issue.

The Curious and Humorist corner:
You ladies reading this. If you want to meet a nice Indian man come to Puna and to the Osho Ashram. Indians pay a very discounted price to participate. And you see lots of Indian man on the hunt for Western woman. Even the trainer of may class said that everytime she comes in (she is about 60) she is "attacked" (on the charming side) by Indian man trying to take her to bed.
So if you like Indian men, this is the place to be: Choices of age, hair-style, looks, etc. Don't need to do anything they will come to you.
I wish this would be the case with India woman, but it isn't they only hang out with Indian men.
Not fair :-)
