Dynamic Meditation
This 5-stage meditation involves deep intense breathing, catharsis, vocalization, stillness, silence and dance. 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! It is the most basic of all OSHO Active Meditations, and it is aimed at releasing tension before attaining silence.

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. It is best to have an empty stomach and wear loose, comfortable clothing.

In our stressful, crowded lives, Dynamic Meditation helps in creating space in our cluttered lives and overloaded senses to make room for a bit of silence.

"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.

"This witnessing has to be carried in all the three steps. And when everything stops, and in the fourth step you have become completely inactive, frozen, then this alertness will come to its peak." -- OSHO

Kundalini Meditation
Known as the "sister meditation" to Dynamic, with 4 stages of 15 minutes each, this method is a gentle yet effective way to release all the accumulated stress of your day.

"Allow the shaking; don't do it. Stand silently, feel it coming and when your body starts trembling, help it but don't do it. Enjoy it, feel blissful about it, allow it, receive it, welcome it, but don't will it.

If you force it will become an exercise, a bodily, physical exercise. Then the shaking will be there but just on the surface; it will not penetrate you. You will remain solid, stone-like, rock-like within. You will remain the manipulator, the doer, and the body will just be following. The body is not the question – you are the question.

When I say shake, I mean your solidity, your rock-like being should shake to the very foundations so that it becomes liquid, fluid, melts, flows. And when the rock-like being becomes liquid, your body will follow. Then there is no shake, only shaking. Then nobody is doing it; it is simply happening. Then the doer is not." -- OSHO

Nadabrahma Meditation
This is a humming meditation that is based on an ancient Tibetan meditation technique. It was first practised by Tibetan monks in the Himalayas thousands of years ago to combat coldness and extreme weather conditions.

This soothing meditation increases internal body temperature (for people who frequently feel cold), flushes away toxins, boosts the immune system and promotes emotion and mental healing.

A 3-stage sitting meditation, Nadabrahma uses the gentle healing power of sound harmonics to create a beautiful healing vibration throughout the body, and soft gentle hand movements that centers one's energy at the naval -- creating a harmony between the mind and body.

"So in Nadabrahma, remember this: let the body and mind be totally together, but remember that you have to become a witness. Get out of them, easily, slowly, from the back door, with no fight, with no struggle. They are drinking -- you get out, and watch from the outside...." -- OSHO

Mandala Meditation
Mandala means circle. Every circle contains a center. Mandala Meditation is another powerful, cathartic technique that creates a circle of energy that results in natural centering.

The aim of this technique is to create a circle of energy in the naval center so that centering occurs naturally. At the end, one is left in absolute stillness, absolute silence.

A 4-stage meditation, Mandala Meditation improves stamina, awakens energies in the Dan Tien (naval center), cleanses the Ajna (third eye) and challenges one to move beyond the mind and body.

Nataraj Meditation
Nataraj is a dance-as-total meditation, with the dancer "disappearing" into the dance, and then relaxing into stillness and silence.

Nataraj Meditation helps one to tune into the senses and rhythm of the body, melting away rigidness and returning the body into its natural state of fluidity and grace.

"Let the dance flow in its own way; don't force it. Rather, follow it, allow it to happen. It is not a doing but a happening. Remain in the mood of festivity. You are not doing something very serious; you are just playing, playing with your life energy, playing with your bio energy and allowing it to move in its own way. Just like the wind blows and the river flows, you are flowing and blowing. Feel it. And be playful."
-- OSHO

Gourishankar Meditation
A powerful centering technique that works on the Ajna (third eye). This meditation helps build deep abdominal breathing and boost lung capacity.

It teaches a specific breathing technique involving slow deep inhalation through the nose and holding the breath for as long as possible before exhaling gently through the mouth.

The technique consists of 4 stages of 15 minutes each. The first two stages prepare the meditator for spontaneous experience of the third stage, known as Latihan. If the first stage of the meditation is done correctly, the meditator will feel as silent and still as Gourishankar (Mount Everest) in the Himalayas.

No Dimension Meditation
This is a powerful method for centering one's energy in the Hara (the area just below the navel).

Based on a Sufi technique of movements for awareness and integration of the body, No Dimension Meditation is about being free and non-serious. In fact it is so non-serious that you can even smile while you are doing it.

Using a set of 6-movement sequence, No Dimension requires mind-body co-ordination, footwork, arm movements and soft vocal work. This meditation has 3 stages. The Middle-Eastern inspired music, created specially for this meditation, begins slowly and gradually becomes faster and faster, working as an uplifting force.

Chakra Sound
This meditation uses vocal sounds along with music to open and harmonise the charkas while bring awareness to them.

Chakra Sound Meditation can bring you into a deep, peaceful inner silence, either by making vocal sounds or by just listening to and feeling the sounds within you. When one becomes more familiar with this meditation, one can add more dimensions to this meditation through visualisation.
