If you want to live a more fulfilled life, first you will want to know your potential, who you really are. Meditation is the route to that knowing. It is the methodology of the science of awareness.
The beauty of the inner science is that it enables whoever wants to explore
and to experiment within, to do so alone. This eliminates dependence on
an outer authority, the need to be affiliated with any organization and
the obligation to accept a certain ideology. Once you understand the steps,
you walk the walk in your own, individual way. Many meditative techniques
require one to sit still and silent. But for most of us accumulated stress
in our bodymind makes that difficult. Before we can hope to access our inner
powerhouse of consciousness, we need to let go of our tensions.
Osho Active Meditations have been scientifically designed by Osho over a
period of time to enable us to consciously express and experience repressed
feelings and emotions, and learn the knack of watching our habitual patterns
in a new way.
Some of the meditations have streaming audio and video demonstrations.
Recommended to be done in the morning, this hour-long method is a powerful way to kick-start your day. It provides an outlet for tension and withheld emotions as well as being a great energy-booster!
Known as the “sister meditation” to Dynamic, with four stages of fifteen minutes each this method is a gentle yet effective way to release all the accumulated stress of your day.
Dance, giving it all you have got, is an easy and natural way to turn in. This method has three stages, and lasts a total of sixty-five minutes.
A sitting method, that is one-hour long, in which humming and hand movements create an inner balance and stillness.
A one-hour nighttime meditation, which includes a breathing technique, gazing
softly at a light and gentle body movements. MANDALA MEDITATION
Mandala means circle. Every circle contains a center. The aim of this technique
is to create a circle of energy so that centering results naturally. At
the end, one is left in absolute stillness, absolute silence.
"In Buddha's time, dynamic methods of meditation were not needed. People
were more simple, more authentic. They lived a more real life. Now, people
are living a very repressed life, a very unreal life. When they don't want
to smile, they smile. When they want to be angry, they show compassion.
People are false, the whole life pattern is false. People are just acting,
not living. Many incomplete experiences go on being collected,
piled up inside their minds.
"Just sitting directly in silence won't help. The moment you will sit
silently, you will see all sorts of things moving inside you; you will feel
it almost impossible to be silent. First throw those things out so you come
to a natural state of rest. Real meditation starts only when you are at
rest."
