 Institut für körperorientierte Psychotherapie To whom it may concern 20 - 7 - 1983 We, the well trained professional therapists of the "Institute of Body-oriented Psychotherapy", have an holistic approach to work with people (patients, clients, trainees). We help them find their peaceful way, to feel responsible for themselves and the world they live in. We have experienced: to find one’s path out of the closed system each individual is co the integration of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual qualities of each human being the guidance of a spiritual master is needed. The religious master BHAGWAN SHREE RAJNEESH (to whom I found 4 years ago) has taught us meditation co become centered in ourselves. Since Chen the quality of our work has encreased enormously. It is a benefit for the world to have che religious master BHAGWAN SHREE RAJNEESH to continue his work in Rajneeshpuram, Oregon. [signed] Institut für körperorientierte Psychotherapie (Dr. P.
