the practice
Osho’s Dynamic Meditations are an attempt to help decrease the amount of unwanted energy and tension created by our modern lifestyle. Dynamic meditations are a modern approach to a modern problem- Suppression of emotional and creative energy.
The different steps of Dynamic Meditation are designed to facilitate cathartic release through breathing techniques, unrestricted movements and vocalizations, while maintaining full awareness of the process as it unfolds. The goal of this method is to become a little more silent, a little more restful, it is a preparation for sitting meditation. yet on its own, this practice can reduce stress levels and bring about a sense of relief.
the five stages of dynamic meditation
1. Chaotic Breathing – As fast and as deeply as it is possible, using your body to help you and with full awareness of the experience.
2. Catharsis – Follow your body give your body freedom to express whatever is there…. EXPLODE!… Let your body take over. Let go of everything that needs to be thrown out. Go totally mad… sing, scream, laugh, cry, jump, shake, dance, kick and throw yourself around.
3. Mantra – Jump up and down, shouting the mantra HOO, HOO, HOO! give it all you have, exhaust yourself completely.
4. Stillness – Stop, freeze where you are in whatever position you find yourself. be a witness of all that happens inside of you.
5. Celebration – Music plays, dance and celebrate, express whatsoever is there
