Las reacciones emocionales que nos dominan son una de las causas más comunes por las que caemos en estados de ánimo negativos y nos desbordan los problemas. Tanto en nuestra vida personal como en la profesional, estas circunstancias adversas afectan a nuestras relaciones, influyen en nuestro bienestar y a veces incluso atac
Rajneesh (born Chandra Mohan Jain, 11 December 1931 – 19 January 1990) and latter rebranded as Osho was leader of the Rajneesh movement. During his lifetime he was viewed as a controversial new religious movement leader and mystic.
In the 1960s he traveled throughout India as a public speaker and was a vocal critic of socialism, Mahatma Gandhi, and Hindu religious orthodoxy.
Rajneesh emphasized the importance of meditation, mindfulness, love, celebration, courage, creativity and humor—qualities that he viewed as being suppressed by adherence to static belief systems, religious tradition and socialization.
In advocating a more open attitude to human sexuality he caused controversy in India during the late 1960s and became known as "the sex guru".
In 1970, Rajneesh spent time in Mumbai initiating followers known as "neo-sannyasins". During this period he expanded his spiritual teachings and commented extensively in discourses on the writings of religious traditions, mystics, and philosophers from around the world. In 1974 Rajneesh relocated to Pune, where an ashram was established and a variety of therapies, incorporating methods first developed by the Human Potential Movement, were offered to a growing Western following. By the late 1970s, the tension between the ruling Janata Party government of Morarji Desai and the movement led to a curbing of the ashram's development and a back taxes claim estimated at $5 million.
In 1981, the Rajneesh movement's efforts refocused on activities in the United States and Rajneesh relocated to a facility known as Rajneeshpuram in Wasco County, Oregon. Almost immediately the movement ran into conflict with county residents and the state government, and a succession of legal battles concerning the ashram's construction and continued development curtailed its success.
In 1985, in the wake of a series of serious crimes by his followers, including a mass food poisoning attack with Salmonella bacteria and an aborted assassination plot to murder U.S. Attorney Charles H. Turner, Rajneesh alleged that his personal secretary Ma Anand Sheela and her close supporters had been responsible. He was later deported from the United States in accordance with an Alford plea bargain.[
After his deportation, 21 countries denied him entry. He ultimately returned to India and a revived Pune ashram, where he died in 1990. Rajneesh's ashram, now known as OSHO International Meditation Resort and all associated intellectual property, is managed by the Zurich registered Osho International Foundation (formerly Rajneesh International Foundation). Rajneesh's teachings have had a notable impact on Western New Age thought, and their popularity has increased markedly since his death.
This book helped me a lot in dealing with my negative energy. Osho is a great person, he really understands the human psych and his book provides methods and ways of dealing with it. Just like love, anger is a part of each and everyone of us, everybody gets angry. The only difference between us is how we deal with that anger and if we let it project to the people around us and turn into a chain reaction. I love this book, I always keep it next to my bed to be able to go through it whenever I forget his methods. It also has a couple of meditation techniques that are useful for every person.
Easy to read but harder to understand. I needed more reflecting and re-reading to fully grasp his messages. Eventually, i learned his ways and it became clearer to me... Transforming anger, jealousy, fear... From a negative to positive.. Only you, yourself can perform.
هل جرّبت يوما عدم كبت انفعالاتك ومحاولة تحويلها الى انفعالات ايجابية؟! أوشو ينصحنا بذلك. في هذا الكتاب الصغير يعرض لنا اوشو بعض الانفعالات السلبية التي يشعر بها الانسان مثل؛ الغضب، الحسد، الغيرة، الخوف والحزن. وبعض الانفعالات الايجابية كالحب والتعاطف والشجاعة. بطريقة سلسلة وبسيطة يدعو اوشو الذات البشرية إلى عدم إدانة أي شعور كان يختلج في أعماقنا، سواء إيجابي ام سلبي. يرى أن الوعي بالانفعالات التي تنتابنا هو بداية الطريق نحو التخفف منها ونحو تحويلها من مسارها السلبي إلى مسارها الايجابي.
أحببت الكتاب خاصة ان الاسلوب رغم أنه فلسفي الا أنه لم يكن صعبًا ولا مُبهمًا. فقط لم ترقني الترجمة في بعض الأحيان.
Il mio primo approccio con Osho non è stato semplice: lo stile rende la lettura un po' difficoltosa all'inizio. Pian piano, però, mi sono abituata al suo modo di scrivere ed è stata una sorpresa: nonostante lo abbia iniziato lentamente, verso metà libro ho cominciato a divorarlo letteralmente, ansiosa di conoscere la prospettiva di Osho sulle emozioni negative. Esse sono una ricchezza: in linea con le spiegazioni della moderna psicologia cognitivo-comportamentale, le emozioni devono essere dapprima riconosciute nel momento in cui vengono provate (metodo cognitivo ABC) e poi percepite e vissute fino in fondo. Credo sia un valido aiuto per chi non riesce ad esprimere le emozioni negative (per repressione, senso di colpa, aspettative sociali, ecc.), sebbene sia un po' superficiale e semplicistico in alcune parti (ad esempio la rabbia non è sempre diretta verso un "oggetto" esterno, ma anche verso se stessi; oppure non basta adottare il metodo del "Learning by doing" per superare stati depressivi; infine la psicoanalisi non è inutile perché prima o poi gli "strati della cipolla" finiscono e si arriva al cuore, che deve essere accettato e vissuto in pieno con maggior consapevolezza!).
It's not very difficult to read Osho, but it takes a great more deal of attention to understand the message he wants to transmit. In this book, Osho describes anger, solitude and fear of many kinds and gives simple examples from everyday life to illustrate the connection between our thinking and these emotions. Also, the idea that I liked most was that understanding the emotions like fear, anger or jealousy can transform them from negative to positive ones. I think this was a great book for me. Helped me lots.
Without a second thought this is one of the best books I have read on improving my life. Osho taught me a lot. I was able to connect with him from the first page!
Infact this book has changed my outlook on life and influenced me. This book came to my life at the right time. I am glad the book found me.
. هذا الكتاب الجميل ، سهل الألفاظ عميق المعاني و الأفكار، لم يستعرض فيه أوشو مدى سعة إطلاعه و عمق تفكيره ، إنما ركز على أن تصل المعلومة التي أرادها _و إن كانت على درجة من العمق و التعقيد_ في أبسط صورة حتى يتسنى لأي شخص قراءة الكتاب و استيعابه ، ذكرني بفنان أهتم بأن يُنتج فناً من أغاني و مسرحيات و غيرها لعامة الشعب و البُسطاء منهم بالتحديد متجاهلاً الطبقة المُثقفة و بالأخص النقاد في ذلك المجتمع . ***************************************************************************** : أثناء قراءتي دونت بعض الأفكار تعقيباً على ما قرأت 1. من منغصات الحياة تحويل كل منحنى فيها لمعضلة يجب السؤال عن كيفية حلها و القيام بها. أي بمعنى أتمتة الحياة و إخضاع كل مجرياتها لقواعد و قوانين تحكمها معادلات حسابية لا وجود للعفوية فيها 2. الكون كله قائم على الأثينية؛ ذكر و أنثى، ليل و نهار و غيرها من الأمثلة، و للعقل نصيب من هذه الأثينية، فثمة وعي و اللاوعي و كلهما طوع بنان الإنسان اذا أراد. 3. الانفعالات بعض النظر عن كنتها، فأن لم تكن مُسيطر عليها كانت انفعالات سلبية، و السيطرة عليها يكمن في التحرر من ما هو ضار منها و تعزيز الحميد منها. 4. في المُجتمعات التي يُجرم أو يُحرم فيها التعبير عن الرأي تجد الفرد يختزن كل ما يرفضهُ المجتمع داخله مما يُشكل عبء عليه و لا سبيل للتخلص من هذا الحمل سوى إفراغه على شكل أفعال و قرارات يُسيطر بها على من هو أضعف منه و هكذا تستمر دورة الحياة ما بين مَقموع تارة و مُسيطر تارة أُخرى، مما يؤدي في النهاية إلى أن ينسى المُجتمع أبجديات التعبير ليس من الفضيلة أو الشجاعة أو الحكمة القيام بفعل ما أو إبداء رأي ما حين يكون المُناخ ملائماً و مواتياً لما تُريد، إنما الأجدى القيام بما تُريده في حين أن كل الشواهد حولك تُخبرك بعكس ما تُريد. ظروفك المواتية شيء ينبع من داخلك تُجسدهُ بإصرارك و بمدى صدقك و إيمانك بما تُريد.
I purchased Emotions: Freedom from Anger, Jealousy, and Fear by Osho to see what I could learn in preparation for a Meetup session on jealousy. It’s a small pocketbook of only 150 pages, and the font is very liberally spaced on those pages making the book seem even shorter than it actually is. I think the book was required to have at least ten comma splices on each page; it’s enough to make a former English teacher like me insane.
The book itself is filled with nuggets of wisdom that I found interesting to contemplate. Osho uses a combination of prose and poetry to share his ideas. Both have powerful results in some parts of the book. I really enjoyed the section on jealousy. The section on fear was shorter and weaker than the other two sections; it felt only partially developed. One of the final chapters of the book on transformation was nothing more than a redux. Furthermore, I found Osho’s perspective to be seriously lacking in an understanding of the mind-body-spirit connection. While that’s not unusual for a Western medical doctor, for a mystic, it feels like a sign of denial or ignorance. His active meditation ideas in the back were different, but none were compelling enough to make me want to try them. A great number of them involve physical motion which is difficult at this time for me, but it may be perfect for others who have difficulty with sitting still and meditating.
Most frustrating for me was the section on anger. Osho’s view of anger is very simplistic. He believes anger requires two people, yet that fails to explain why we can have anger at ourselves. Equally errant is his belief that one can release anger in only a few minutes by changing one’s thought patterns. Either Osho is not a naturally angry person or anger does not work the same in men as it does in woman. I can go to bed, dream all night about different topics, and then wake up the next morning furious again about something that happened a day or two before. I found most of Osho’s suggestions for releasing anger (such as punching a pillow or running one’s self to a point of exhaustion) to be simplistic and pointless: They aren’t going to actually relieve the cause of the anger and often for me this type of tactic doesn’t even remove the energy of the anger either. Physical exertion just makes me tired and sore on top of being angry.
Despite all of those complaints, I do think there was a great deal of wisdom in the book. Osho is great for “sound bites.” I found many quotes that made me stop and think for a few minutes as I encountered them. I saved many of those bits of inspiration for future mantras for my blog. I’ll also be using some of his poetry about jealousy to open my Meetup session on the topic because it is incredibly beautiful.
Another interesting read from Osho, although I didn't find this one as enlightening as his Intuition text. Like other books, the text is composed of excerpts from Osho's many speeches and seems to be written in almost a free-verse style. Osho examines anger, jealousy and fear, but almost half of the book is focused on anger. There were lots of illuminating tidbits and phrases, anecdotes, etc., but Osho's general disdain toward religion and love for blanket statements is definitely present. I've found that with his works you have to take what applies to you and drop the rest—his books can't always be interpreted literally (like many spiritual/religious texts).
Everything that was written by Osho is gold.. I have read so many books of his but this one speaks to me. CUrrently I'm dealing with a friend with his jealousy issues this books gives an incredible look and view on jealousy
this was a great book for me to read. There are things in the book that are not for everyone, you take out of it what you need for yourself. I plan on reading more of his books
I think to read a book like this you have to be open to what it wants to tell you. To be honest, I did feel that some parts were useful, and others less so.
A couple of (out of context) quotes I quite enjoyed are:
'You can kill the person, but a dead person will not be of much use.'
While this book had some good points, it was a just too weird for me. It referenced multiple religions, and sometimes in weird ways. Also at the end it gives many exercises that help the reader release certain emotions, but some of them were pretty strange. I wouldn't recommend this book unless you're really looking for something out of the ordinary.
Concise yet powerful. This book highlights some great wisdom in how we can address three of the most destructive emotions.
- If something is deepened by your awareness, it is good. - In controlling you repress, in transformation you express. - Reaction is emotional blackmail. - And so much more!
There are some exercises at the end as well. Great read.
La momentul cand am citit-o a avut un impact foarte mare asupra mea. Mi-a placut atat de mult incat am cautat si alte carti de ale lui Osho. Desi am luat cartea pentru a studia emotia-frica, gelozia si furia au fost capitolele care m-au inspirat cel mai mult. Cartea m-a pus pe ganduri in stilul inegalabil al lui Osho.
I started this book 2 months ago....and sometimes wanted to put it down ...because I do not want to hear what Osho has to say... I have learned so much....but need a deep understanding ...have to block my mind...even in his qoutes..I sometimes wish he could sit in front of me and just explanation his philosophy .
