How To Choose a
Method?
Experiment with whatever technique appeals to
you. And remember, not
all techniques suit everyone; what suits you may not suit your friend.
And having practiced a method for some months, you may find you have
outgrown it. There is nothing sacrosanct about meditative methods: they
are practical means to access a natural, inherent quality. Feel free to
playfully experiment with them.
Having selected the method, try it for at least seven days
consecutively. And when you are trying it out, give it all you have
got. By then either the initial attraction has been confirmed or not.
If you feel that this is your method, make a commitment to continue it
for a minimum of three months. After three months you can continue with
it or choose another.
It is suggested that you start out by trying out one or more of the
Osho Active Meditations, if possible Dynamic and Kundalini. Or
Kundalini and Nadabrahma if you find Dynamic too active! Then do them
regularly for a while. And whenever possible use the Art of Listening
approach mentioned above. In addition, find any small technique that
you can add to your daily life to help remind you to stay aware as much
of your day as possible. All the methods are designed scientifically,
with each step consciously worked out. To experience the maximum from
them, do them as the guidelines indicate, and as whole-heartedly as
possible.
Continuity is important. It's like heating water: up to ninety-nine
degrees it is still water and if you stop there it will cool down and
you will have to re-heat it. But if you persevere to one hundred
degrees, then the water takes a quantum leap and is transformed into
vapor.
