| Kundalini Meditation - (with video demo)
This meditation is one of Osho's fundamental meditation practices.
It is normally done in the late afternoon before eating. It is done
in 4 stages, and is guided with special music created by Karunesh.
1. The first stage is shaking. We shake the whole body to release
any tension or holding patterns in the energy. Shake the hands,
feet, head, neck, and especially shake the body where there is any
tension. As you release the serface tension you will eventually
experience a very deep vibration or "shaking" that happens
to you. This we call "Kundalini" energy and it is very
pleasurable. It can be a bit firghtening the first time it happens
because we are not controlling it and it is an unusial experience.
However, it is very pleasurable.
2. Stage two is clearly defined by the different kind of music,
very beautiful and lively. You dance who you are and what you are
feeloing. Let your emotion and physical energy express themselves
as a unity in the dance. If you are sad, dance sadly, if joyful,
express joy, if fearful, allow the energy of fear to "dance
itself". As the dance progresses, lose yourself completely.
Now only the dance IS.
3. Now we sit in silence to the sound of soft music. You can sway
your body or sit still in silence as you like. In all stages of
the meditation we are incouraged to practice the "witnessing
consciousness", and for beginners, the stages of non-doing
and silence tend to be easier in connecting to the witness.
4. In the final stage we lie down and "rest". We could
also say that we surrender, a totally relaxed state of non-doing,
a fundamental "Yes" to life and all that is. We are not
trying to accomplish anything or get to any goal, we are simply
falling into our being. Carry this feeling into the remainder of
your day.
