OSHO Active meditations
"meditation" and "active", They don't sound like coming together, right ? That is the secret of OSHO's woks.
Let me share my understanding about OSHO's Active Meditations.....
The key is not about forcing silence on you, but about creating the space for silence to happen naturally.
Actually THIS silence... in other words witnessing... is our natural state of being. We are born in it, and we simply forget it, because so many layer's of "should" and "shouldn't" have been covering our being.
Active part of each meditation will shake these layers, then it will be easier for you just to be.
You will see the list of Active meditations in this page, which I can show you how to do.
I'm sure some of them will fit you, and they will bring new fragrance into your life :)

OSHO Dynamic Meditation
1 hour
WOW... what can I say about this meditation.... Some of you might know this meditation as a powerful catharsis technique. Yes, it is...and it is MORE THAN THAT !
This meditation can enhance your witnessing...... imagine, you are freaking out like hell and still YOU are watching it without being moved by it.... as if you are watching somebody else sneezing !
This meditation can release a lot of tension of the body. It is funny, always I become aware of the tension when it is released and it doesn't exist any more.
There is something more about this meditation....it just doesn't come to me right now. Actually, best way to know is to experience it :)
Osho is talking about this meditation in this viedo . You may like to watch it.
And this is perfect instruction video.

Dancing at the beginning with high energy dance music to create pool of life energy within...then come to the part of ''art of listening''.....listening between the words. and in the end, letting-go meditation......dying and coming back to life consciously... practice to die into each moment.

OSHO Laughter Meditation
1 hour
Hahahahaha ! Let's meditate with laughter :)
You won't believe how much dust your laughter can blow off !!!
Osho says,
''Laughter is a mystery. It is better to experience it than to hear someone talk about it......Perhaps I am the first man in the whole history of mankind who has been using jokes as a preparation for meditation. Jesus would not laugh; Buddha will not laugh; Lao Tzu is not heard to have ever laughed... They were serious people, and they were doing serious work!'' (The Invitation #27)
1st stage of this meditation is: just sitting silently, create a giggle in the very guts of your being. as if your whole body is giggling, laughting. start swaying with that laughter, let it spread from the belly to the whole of your body: hands laughing, feet laughing. go crazily into it !
2nd stage: lie down .......make contact with the earth, we come from the earth and one day we will be going back to it.
3rd stage: after those twenty minutes energising.... dance...just any dance.
OSHO Mahamudra Meditation
1 hour
One of my favorite meditation :) , I LOVE to share this one !
What is Mahamudra ?
As Osho says,
''Mahamudra is a state of your being when you are not separate from the total. Mahamudra is like a deep sexual orgasm with the whole....The vibration of two as one is orgasm. When the same thing happens, not with another person, but with the whole existence, then it is Mahamudra, then it is the great orgasm.''
(Tantra The Supreme Understanding, #6)
sounds juicy, right ?
1st stage is Latihan. It is allowing the body to vibrate, allowing the body to become energy. This stage will cleanse your body from pore to pore.
2nd stage is prayer. Kneel down and raise both your hands towards the sky. You become just like an pot. Your head is the
mouth of the pot, receiving the energy from the universe. When you feel the energy is overflowing, pour down into the earth.
Then 3rd stage will be rest.

Chakra Loop Meditation
90 min
This meditation is based on breathing technique coming from Native American tribe, Cherokee. This is not directly coming from Osho, but I like it, so I share it :)
Using breathing and movement of pelvis, you will clean up and energize whole your body.
Uniqueness of this meditation is breathing into lower chakra and breathing out from upper chakra one by one, as if you are creating a strong chain connecting all chakras in which your life energy can flow, until finally you creat long one loop from 1st to 7th chakra.
OSHO Kundalini Meditation
1 hour
In Japan we have way to say it....brown rice, miso soup and pickles....it means; if you take these, you will not need anything more.
So, Kundalini meditation is.... let's say...miso soup and Dynamic meditation will be brown rice :)
It is about allowing, rather than doing. Allowing the body shake and dance, in this way you can let whole your body fully relaxed, then silent witnessing will be easier :)

Laughing Drums Celebration
1 hour
Dance meditation with drum music, followed by silent stage.
Why to dance with drum ?
as Osho says:
''The drum has a special appeal -- the reason is very deep rooted ...
When a child is conceived in the womb, the child grows, but he cannot breathe, he has to breathe from the mother. In fact, the mother breathes for him. And for nine months continuously he hears the beating of the mother's heart -- continuously. It is the first meeting with music and rhythm.....And then the child is born. The whole body system, the mind system, carries that desire for the beat, for the rhythm of the mother's heart.....Hence, from this deep biological experience of the child, comes the appeal of the drum.......
So whenever somebody is beating a drum the temptation is too much -- you start moving your legs, you start swaying your body...... Even a Buddha would like to dance''
(Tao: The Three Treasures, Vol 2 #10)
OSHO Devavani Meditation
1 hour
Devavani means ''devine voice''
It is Latihan of tongue. Let a gentle, unfamiliar language move and speak through you.
It relaxes your mind deeply.
I like to do it at night. Why ? Because I can sleep very well after this meditation :)

OSHO Golden Light Meditation
20 min
This is simple method of transforming your energy and leading it upward. It is very easy :)
The method is combination of breathing and visualization.
As Osho describe about this meditation,
''When you breathe in, just visualize great light entering from
your head into your body, as if a sun has risen just close to your head -- golden light pouring into your head. You are just hollow and the golden light is pouring into your head, and going, going, going, deep, deep, and going out through your toes.
When you breathe in, do it with this visualization.
And when you breathe out, visualize another thing:
darkness entering through your toes, a great dark river entering
through your toes, coming up, and going out through the head.
Do slow, deep breathing so you can visualize.
Go very slowly''
OSHO Mandala Meditation
1 hour
This is a meditation for centering.
I love all the meditation for centering, and this one is special :)
I wonder how one could invent such a systemic meditation....
1st stage is running for 15 min, with your knees up as high as possible !
''My God, what a hard job......'' that was my first impression. But... I couldn't believe, my body liked it !
So take it easy and let your body run. It will create a lot of energy for centering.
2nd stage is sitting and swaying to gather the energy to your belly.
then in the 3rd stage, using eye movement, you will bring the energy up to 3rd eye.
4th stage is silence.......finally...
