OSHO Dynamic Meditation

OSHO Dynamic meditation is an hour long active meditation with five stages.  Designed scientifically by Osho, it’s different stages include intense breathing, catharsis, mantra chanting, silence and finally celebrating. 
 
It is best done first thing in the morning before eating and wearing loose comfortable clothing.  Keeping your eyes closed or wearing a blindfold, your attention remains on your individual experience.  It can be done alone, but is much more powerful when done in a group. 

We hold OSHO Dynamic Meditation everyday from 7.30 - 8.30.

The Instructions

1st Stage – BREATHING
Breathe chaotically through the nose, letting your breathing be deep, fast and chaotic.   Breathe with no rhythm or pattern and keep your focus on the exhalation.  Your body will take care of the inhalation on its own.  Your breath should move deeply into the lungs until you literally become the breathing.  Do this as fast and as hard as possible until you literally become 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. 
 
The key for this stage is irregular breathing.  (10 minutes)
 
2nd Stage – EXPLODE!
Explode!  Let go of everything that needs to be thrown out.  Follow your body and give it the freedom to express whatever there is – laugh, scream, cry, dance, sing, go totally mad!  Hold nothing back and keep your whole body moving.  Don’t let your mind get in the way. Sometimes a little acting will help you get started. 
 
Go consciously mad!  (10 minutes)
 
3rd Stage – JUMP!
With your shoulders and neck relaxed, raise your arms above your head and jump up and down, shouting the mantra “Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!”.  Shout deeply from the bottom of your belly.  Land on the flats of your feet and let the sound hammer deep into the sex centre.
 
Give all you have, exhaust yourself completely.  (10 minutes)
 
4th Stage -  STOP!
Stop!  Freeze wherever you are, in whatever position you find yourself in.  Don’t arrange your body in anyway.  Remain totally still and silent.  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.  (15 minutes)
 
5th Stage – CELEBRATE!
Celebrate and express whatever is there with music, dance and movement.  Carry this aliveness with you throughout the day.  (15 minutes)

OSHO quotes about Dynamic Meditation

“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.”
