OSHO Active Meditations
OSHO Active Meditation
Osho Active Meditations are a series of meditative practices developed by the spiritual teacher Osho. These meditations are designed to be a more active form of meditation, and often involve physical movement, music, or other stimuli in order to bring about a state of mindfulness and relaxation. The goal of Osho Active Meditations is to help individuals release tension and access a deeper state of consciousness. There are several different types of Osho Active Meditations, each with its own specific set of instructions and guidelines. Some popular Osho Active Meditations include:
OSHO DYNAMIC MEDITATION™
This meditation is a fast, intense, and thorough way to break old, ingrained patterns in the body-mind that keep one imprisoned in the past, and to experience the freedom, witnessing, silence, and peace that are hidden behind those prison walls.
OSHO KUNDALINI MEDITATION™
This meditation is best done at sunset or in the late afternoon. Being fully immersed in the shaking and dancing of the first two stages helps to “melt” the rock-like being, wherever the energy flow has been repressed and blocked. Then that energy can flow, dance, and be transformed into bliss and joy.
OSHO NADABRAHMA MEDITATION™
Nadabrahma is the humming meditation – through humming and hand movements, conflicting parts of you start falling in tune, and you bring harmony to your whole being.
CHAKRA SOUNDS MEDITATION™
This meditation uses vocal sounds to open and harmonize the chakras or energy centers while bringing awareness to them. It can bring you into a deep, peaceful, inner silence either through making your own vocal sounds or by just listening to the music and feeling the sounds within you.
OSHO CHAKRA BREATHING MEDITATION™
This active meditation uses deep, rapid breathing and body movement to open and bring awareness, vitality, and silence to each of the seven chakras and thus into your life.
OSHO PRAYER MEDITATION™
In this meditation, you can experience prayer as an energy phenomenon, not a devotion to God but a merging, an opening. This merging with energy is prayer. It changes you. A new élan, a new life will start penetrating you.
OSHO DEVAVANI MEDITATION™
In this meditation, a gentle, unfamiliar language moves and speaks through the meditator, who becomes an empty vessel.
OSHO GOURISHANKAR MEDITATION™
OSHO says that if the breathing is done correctly in the first stage of this meditation, the carbon dioxide formed in the bloodstream will make you feel as high as Gourishankar, Mt. Everest.
OSHO WHIRLING MEDITATION™
Whirling is an ancient Sufi technique. While your whole body is moving, you become aware of your very being, the watcher at the center, which is unmoving. You learn to be an unidentified witness at the center of the cyclone.
OSHO NO-DIMENSIONS MEDITATION™
This active-centring meditation is based on Sufi techniques, further developed and expanded by OSHO. Using the breath and a series of coordinated body movements followed by whirling,
OSHO GOLDEN LIGHT MEDITATION™
This is a simple method of transforming your energy and leading it upward. It is best done at least twice a day, for twenty minutes each: in the morning just before getting out of bed and in the evening just before going to sleep.
OSHO HEART MEDITATION™
In this meditation, based on a small fragment from Atisha, the founder of Tibetan Buddhism, you allow all the suffering – of yourself and of all the beings in the world – to ride on your incoming breath and reach your heart.
OSHO VIPASSANA MEDITATION™
This meditation is based on the method of Gautama the Buddha. It is for practising awareness, watchfulness, mindfulness, and witnessing. The OSHO form of Vipassana enables this to be a comfortable, “juicy” experience, it is not dry.
