Osho Dynamic Meditation
Description
Dynamic Meditation lasts one hour and is in five
stages. It can be done
alone, and will be even more powerful if it is done with others. It is
an individual experience so you should remain oblivious of others
around you and keep your eyes closed throughout, preferably using a
blindfold. It is best to have an empty stomach and wear loose,
comfortable clothing.
Osho Says
"This is a meditation in which you have to be continuously alert,
conscious, aware, whatsoever you do. Remain a witness. Don't get lost.
While you are breathing you can forget. You can become one with the
breathing so much that you can forget the witness. But then you miss
the point.
"Breathe as fast as possible, as deep as possible; bring your total
energy to it but still remain a witness. Observe what is happening as
if you are just a spectator, as if the whole thing is happening to
somebody else, as if the whole thing is happening in the body and the
consciousness is just centered and looking.
"This witnessing has to be carried in all the three steps. And when
everything stops, and in the fourth step you have become completely
inactive, frozen, then this alertness will come to its peak."
Method
First Stage: 10
minutes
Breathe chaotically through the nose, concentrating always on
exhalation. The body will take care of the inhalation. The breath
should move deeply into the lungs. Be as fast as you can in your
breathing, making sure the breathing stays deep. Do this as fast and as
hard as you possibly can - and then a little harder, until you
literally become the breathing. Use your natural body movements to help
you to build up your energy. Feel it building up, but don't let go
during the first stage.
Second Stage: 10
minutes
Explode! Express everything that needs to be thrown out. Go totally
mad. Scream, shout, cry, jump, shake, dance, sing, laugh; throw
yourself around. Hold nothing back; keep your whole body moving. A
little acting often helps to get you started. Never allow your mind to
interfere with what is happening. Be total, be whole hearted.
Third Stage: 10
minutes
With raised arms, jump up and down shouting the mantra, "Hoo! Hoo!
Hoo!" as deeply as possible. Each time you land, on the flats of your
feet, let the sound hammer deep into the sex center. Give all you have;
exhaust yourself totally.
Fourth Stage: 15
minutes
Stop! Freeze wherever you are, in whatever position you find yourself.
Don't arrange the body in any way. A cough, a movement - anything will
dissipate the energy flow and the effort will be lost. Be a witness to
everything that is happening to you.
Fifth Stage: 15
minutes
Celebrate through dance, expressing your gratitude towards the whole.
Carry your happiness with you throughout the day.
