Meditation for the Contemporary Man

First activity then doing nothing

Traditional meditation techniques mostly suggest methods of non-doing and silence. This is the essence of meditation and therefore a valuable approach. Unfortunately the modern, busy man is not capable of just sitting silently. His tense body cannot relax easily, the mind is overcrowded with thoughts and the repressed emotions close up his life energy. Usually there is not much space for silence neither in the mind nor in the body.

Modern, active meditation techniques suggest to be active first and then drop into silence. The activity stirs up the complete body-mind-system and shakes it well. In the following phase of non-doing everything settles down in deep relaxation and silence. In silence and relaxation awareness blossoms easily.

The OSHO active meditation techniques offer a variety of methods with different degrees of activity. In the OSHO Dynamic Meditation, the activity is strong, hammering and stirring up the whole body and mind. In the Evening Meditation it is softer, 15 minutes lively dancing and then sitting silently. All techniques are scientifically created by Osho, who experimented for years to find the best way through the thick conditioning of modern man. Thousands of meditators from all over the world, any age or social background, have benefitted from these techniques.
