The first step of meditation is throwing all your craziness out. It is a simple method, if you are not a coward – I mean if you are not a gentleman. It simply means gibberish.
Speak any language that you don't know, or make sounds, but don't sit there like a buddha; that stage comes later.
"Gibberish is to get rid of the active mind,
silence to get rid of the inactive mind and
let-go is to enter into the transcendental."
Meditation starts by being separate from the mind, by being a witness.
That is the only way of separating yourself from anything.
If you are looking at the light, naturally one thing is certain:
you are not the light, you are the one who is looking at it.
If you are watching the flowers, one thing is certain:
you are not the flower, you are the watcher.
Watching is the key of meditation. Watch your mind
If you want to understand exactly what meditation is,
Gautam Buddha is the first man to come to its right,
exact definition - Meditation is Witnessing.
"Light and darkness cannot exist together; they cannot have a co-existence. Why can light and darkness not exist together? Because darkness has no substance in it; darkness has no existence in it. It is nothing but the absence of light, so how can absence and presence exist together? If light is there then absence cannot exist. If absence exists, light cannot be present there. Awareness is a single solution to all problems. "
This video is an excerpt from an interview with OSHO by Videha Ricci for Riza Magazine(Italy) in which OSHO discusses on different meditation technique for Contemporary People and which meditation technique is to be tried by the starters from the 112 Meditation techniques described in "THE BOOK OF SECRETS"
Here are some of the important works of OSHO on meditation :
Kundalini Meditation Technique is also weel known as the "sister meditation technique" to Dynamic, with four stages of fifteen minutes each. This Meditation Technique is a gentle yet effective way to release all the accumulated stress of your day.
Dynamic Meditation is absolutely necessary for the modern man and is recommended to be done in the morning. If people are innocent then there is not need to try dynamic meditations, but if people are repressed and psychologically carrying a lot of burden then Dynamic meditation is absolutely necessary to cleanse the emotional tensions. It is a hour-long method and 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!
Mandala means circle and as you know every circle has a center. The aim of this Meditation technique is to create a circle of energy so that centering results naturally. At the end of this meditation method, one is left in absolute stillness and silence.
OSHO Whirling Meditation is one of the most one of the most forceful and is so deep that even a single experience can make you totally different. Whirl with open eyes, just like small children go on twirling, as if your inner being has become a center and your whole body has become a wheel. You are in the center, but the whole body is moving.
This Meditation Technique involves Dance, a type of dance where giving it all you have got is needed such that the dance remains but the dancer is lost. It is an easy and natural way to turn in by practicing Nataraj Meditation. This method has three stages, and lasts a total of sixty-five minutes.
Gourishankar Meditation Technique is one of the Contemporary Meditation techniques described by OSHO which is generally a one-hour nighttime meditation, that includes a breathing technique, gazing softly at a light and gentle body movements.
