Techniques are needed.
There are only few people who could attain meditative state by cultivating simple awareness or mindfulness in any one of the activities of daily routine. As I have described through a FB link in my earlier post about meditation.
If one is unable to attain meditative state for a fraction of second even after 2-3 month’s practice then one needs to learn some other techniques that Osho described. There are 112 different Meditation techniques because people are different. It is a trial and error method to arrive at the technique that suits your personality.
Then there are people who have some kind of mental challenges due to improper upbringing or child abuse etc. They need to be healed through suitable healing techniques. Primal therapy etc are developed by Osho to make the path for even those people too.
Osho insisted that meditation must go hand in hand with therapy. Only therapy will not give good result. One must be not only able to meditate but also able to guide others too.
Awareness meditation is the way worked for me, may be you too find it suitable otherwise Dynamic meditation is for most of the people. There are 110 other meditation techniques discovered by Indian Mystic Gorakhnath about 500years before and further modified by Osho that one can experiment and the suitable one could be practiced in routine life.
Osho International Online (OIO) provides facility to learn these from your home,
1. through Osho Meditation Day @€20.00 per person. OIO rotate times through three timezones NY,Berlin and Mumbai. You can prebook according to the convenient time for you.
2. There is OSHO Evening Meeting streaming which can be accessed every day at local time starting 6:40 pm (of which Osho says that he wants his people to view it all over the world and these days it is possible) and 16 of the meditations mostly with video instructions and so much more on iOSHOthrough App.
3. There is a 7 days Free Trial also for people who would like to first try it out.
This is an opportunity for learning and knowing Osho through these sannyasins who lived in his presence and brought to life his words in best possible quality in all formats.
Disciples of Jesus left him alone in last minutes but Osho’s disciples remained with him till he left his body willingly after working, till last day, for all of us to get enlightened. Jesus tried hard till last minute, before being caught, to teach meditation to his disciples. As per Saint John’s Gospel:- Jesus used word ‘Sit’ to transfer his meditative energy to them and went on to pray God, but on returning he found them sleeping. He tried two times again but in vain.
Even today Zen people use word ‘Sit’ for meditation in their saying ‘Sit silently, do nothing, season comes and the grass grows by itself green’.
