Satsang Weekend:
It has been a wonderful Weekend here at Swadharma. In addition to Satsang, there was also arranged a small program, of one meditation, each day. People appeared to really enjoy this gift from our beloved, and there was a happy and intimate atmosphere the whole Weekend.
Swaha talked about how important it is to use the opportunity when it is here, and reminded us how easy it is to fall into the trap of delaying things. Also, he shared beautifully about letting go of all ideas our minds have created, and to be open to change our plans when it is needed - to simply be spontaneous.
Below, we share three audio files from this Weekend's Satsangs:

Final day of the Waves of Love retreat:
It is a wonderful day to day! The sun is shining and the people are enjoying the final day of this retreat.
The Satsang was a great celebration with lots of music and dance. The children was invited, and Swaha danced and played with them and us. This is a good reminder for all, that we are allowed to let go of the serious mask, we have inherited from the modern society, and dive into blissful celebration.
In the afternoon, we had a market with shops, music and theater. The children had prepared a play for us, and Swaha came and enjoyed this blissful moment with us.
Thank you all for this wonderful time!

Day 16 of the Waves of Love retreat:
We are now entering the last week of the retreat. After one week of laughing and one week of crying, the participants of the Mystic Rose are now entering a week where they will sit in silence for three hours per day.
It was another blissful Satsang this morning. Swaha talked more about meditation or "The Natural State" as he calls it. It was a beautiful sharing about how meditation simply is finding the balance beyond the world of opposites created by the mind. Below, we present an audio from this part of the Satsang.

Day 12 of the Waves of Love retreat:
The retreat is flowing good. Several friends have shared about deep experiences and true transformation. When a person is open, available and empty of expectations, these experiences can happen very easy in the presence of one who is self-realized.
Yesterday, Swaha talked about meditation and why we do it. Below, is an audio with this beautiful sharing. This is a very good foundation for people just starting meditation, and a good reminder for old yogis, who might be stuck in some old tradition or technique.
Quote of the day:
"There is just one real religion - Love."

Day 9 of the Waves of Love retreat:
After a two days break, we again met the beloved of the Heart in Satsang today. It was a blissful moment, where Swaha gave a beautiful talk about the complementary forces of laughter and crying.
The Satsang was a soft transition from the celebrating expression of laughter, we experienced in last week's Mystic Rose session, to softly welcoming the sadness and crying, which is happening in this week's session.
The rest of the retreat will be in silence - a good opportunity to go in and explore deeper levels of oneself.
In the audio below, Swaha talks more about laughter and crying. Also, he shares words of wisdom from Hafiz and Osho.

Day 5 of the Waves of Love retreat:
Today was an ecstatic Satsang. In the end, we danced and celebrated in blissful presence of truth.
Swaha shared about being responsible, the meaning of Sannyas and more about laughing. Here is an audio from the part of the Satsang where Swaha talks about awareness and responsibility and what it is to be involved in the work (or "play" as he calls it) around him.
Quote of the day:
"Everybody wants freedom, everybody wants happiness, but very few are ready to take responsibility - to be total. However, you cannot have freedom without responsibility. These two go together!"

Day 2 of the Waves of Love retreat:
This is the first time in a retreat with Swaha that there is arranged a full Mystic Rose Meditation. Mystic Rose is a meditation that was created by Osho as a way to utilize the healing power of laughter and the cleansing power of crying, to bring forward and release suppressed emotions.
It is simply a way to prepare the body and mind for silence. The meditation is divided into three sessions of one week each. The first week is laughing, the second is crying and the third week is silence. Every day, the participants laugh, cry or sit in silence for 3 hours.
In Satsang today, Swaha talked about the Mystic Rose meditation. Below, is an audio file from this part of todays Satsang:
