Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>An artist, a therapist, and above all, an Osho disciple, Ma Anand Meera \u2013 Meera Hashimoto \u2013 unexpectedly left her body in a scuba diving accident in South Africa on 21 February 2017.
\nHer work, indeed her life, was an expression of Osho\u2019s vision of creativity. \u201cAnand Meera (Kasue Hashimoto) was born in Ishikawa, Japan, in 1947. She studied, from 1966\u20131969, at the Musashino Art University, Tokyo, and from 1970 started visiting European museums and then settled in Toledo, Spain.
\n\u201cUntil 1972 she studied drawing at the Circulo de Bellas Artes, Madrid, and Escuela de Arte, Toledo, where she became a co-founder of the Grupo Tolmo and the Galeria Tolmo.
\nIn 1974 she became a disciple of Osho and started working also in India and Japan,\u201d reported oshonews. com. In November 1979, Osho told her,\u201dVery good! I looked into your paintings and pictures \u2013 really beautiful! You have done a good job.
\nNow you also have to create a group of painters here \u2013 just like the theatre group. \u201d So she established, with Geetesh Gibson, the Osho Art School and began leading Osho Painting School Workshops in Pune and later, all over the world.<\/p>\n

She developed new methods of creative expression and started her communities in Amsterdam, Sicily and California. An outstanding art teacher, Meera used Osho\u2019s Dynamic Meditation technique to unleash the creativity in her students to enable them to know themselves better.<\/p>\n

\u201cDynamic Meditation frees our mind and our spirit,\u201d she said, \u201cThis way you connect with yourself and do not need to copy anything from the outside. So you can develop your own creativity, which usually we do not trust because of social pressure. \u201d How to come back to our original creativity?<\/p>\n

Meera advised to become a child again by singing, dancing, acting, and then play with colour with your hands or a brush to relax and paint by constantly and simply allowing the colours to flow with music.<\/p>\n

As an accomplished DJ, she used music as a \u2018part of the course\u2019; dancing was a means to help the body (and mind) to become more fluid so that the colours could flow more easily.<\/p>\n

Forever young and with an incredible, unlimited and vital energy, she would often get up and dance herself or dance during art performances. Her paintings illustrate more than 40 books by Osho in endpapers.
\nHer artworks can be found in many museums all over the world and, of course, in the Osho Meditation Resort, Pune. Her videos are popular on YouTube and project her zing, zap and zeal for Osho and her art.
\nThis is amply reflected in her book, \u2018Reawakening of Art: A radical new look at how creativity is born\u2019. She believed that art is \u2018a Great Tool for Personal Transformation\u2019.
\n\u201cIt provides a window through which you can look into the hidden layers of your own mind. It also functions like a mirror: whatever is happening inside you is reflected on the paper in front of you.
\n\u201cWhen the light of your awareness dissolves the blocks that hinder your creative energy, joy and playfulness are naturally experienced and expressed,\u2019 she said, \u201cWhatever is expressed out without preparation has freshness, power, beauty and originality.\u201d<\/p>\n
