Name of technique: Dynamic meditation

Intro| Art of living | Yoga | Reiki | Sahaj Yoga | Gayatri Mantra | Dynamic Meditation | Vipassana


About: The basic preparation is sound body and sound mind. It is a vigorous activity so the participant has to be able to withstand the strain. This is why it is always good to check with your personal physician whether it is ok to do this strong meditation. At the mental level I would say, "a yeah sayer" is needed. The will you do it is highly essential.

If where you meditate prevents you from making a noise, you can do this silent alternative: Rather than throwing out the sounds let the catharsis in the second stage take place entirely through bodily movements. In the third stage, the sound “Hoo” can be hammered silently inside.

Process: Osho Dynamic Meditation lasts one hour and is in five stages. It can be done alone, and will be even more powerful if it is done with others. It is an individual experience so you should remain oblivious of others around you and keep your eyes closed throughout, preferably using a blindfold. It is best to have an empty stomach and wear loose, comfortable clothing.

First stage 10 minutes: Breathe chaotically through the nose, concentrating always on exhalation. The body will take care of the inhalation. The breath should move deeply into the lungs. Be as fast as you can in your breathing, making sure the breathing stays deep. Do this as fast and as hard as you possibly can – and then a little harder, until you literally become the 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.

Second Stage 10 minutes: Explode! Express everything that needs to be thrown out. Go totally mad. Scream, shout, cry, jump, shake, dance, sing, laugh; throw yourself around. Hold nothing back; keep your whole body moving. A little acting often helps to get you started. Never allow your mind to interfere with what is happening. Be total, be whole hearted.

Third Stage 10 minutes: With raised arms, jump up and down shouting the mantra, “Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!” as deeply as possible. Each time you land, on the flats of your feet, let the sound hammer deep into the sex center. Give all you have; exhaust yourself totally.

Fourth Stage 15 minutes: Stop! Freeze wherever you are, in whatever position you find yourself. Don’t arrange the body in any way. 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.

Fifth Stage 15 minutes: Celebrate through dance, expressing your gratitude towards the whole. Carry your happiness with you throughout the day.

Key Result areas: The body gets more oxygen so the cells are electrified. There are about 6000 holes in the lungs which are clogged because we don't breathe deeply. But with chaotic, deep and fast breathing the holes open and get more oxygen. Thus purifying the blood and pumping more blood in the vessels.

Chaotic breathing breaks the patterns of thinking and feeling and so in the second stage catharsis helps unearth the repressed emotions so that the toxins accumulated in the body are released. It is kind of deep cleansing of the emotional and physical system. The nervous system gets purged, blocks are removed and the body becomes supple and energetic. The muscles get stronger due to vigorous exercise and as the stress is thrown out, the mind becomes qualm and silent.
