The sense of meditation

Stop settle for a sterile compromise. Go to the bottom. When we were very young children, gioivamo all, totally, fully. We went all the way chosen by the game. We were in joy, in wonder. What we did was with love, through the game. No meditation, no need for concentration. 

E 'state after the memory is filled. There was accumulation and finally stirring. Now, meditation is the true nature of existence, that is pure peace and pure joy. 

This state was undoubtedly marred agitation, desires, fears, from everything that has crystallized around the so-called personality. But this is not lost. 

For humans who, in a moment of grace, opening what was found, we say that they are in contemplation or meditation. 

The concept of meditation has come to people who have been chosen by the beauty of life, the wonder at the existence, such as children. They saw that their minds made them restless, and were told that there was a state in which you can feel more relaxed, more attentive. They called meditation. Why meditation is the only thing you can not "do", that is through love, enthusiasm. The reality is that it is the only time when we do nothing. There is no direction deliberate, voluntary. 

What I want if not already in my memory? Will, you want to redo the known. The kind of life we live and where we let down roots, and volunteers, focuses on all the alleged individual who makes and collects the result after the action. The fear is to want to redo what you know. Meditation has nothing to do with this. E 'a choice. Maybe it's the only time of day which the mechanism of the will seize, take and understand is at rest. Because the mechanism of acceptance and understanding involved in the movement itself, which regards the self manufactured. In India called Ahamkara. Aham is the Universal Self, the very existence; Ahamkara is the ego that is artificially constructed in space and time, that which is drawn from all desires, fears, the regrets. ...

Yoga of Knowledge: Meditation

- The meditation is not an escape from the world, is not an isolated or closed by themselves, but rather the understanding of the world and its ways. (Krisnamurti) -- 

Dhyana, meditation, is the step that precedes the peak of the mountain, Samadhi, enlightenment. E 'nornale ask "What is meditation? Why aspire to become enlightened?

Meditation on Om

"The two aspects of Brahman (ultimate reality) from meditation are sound (Om) and the non-sound. Meditating on the sound alone, reveals the non-sound. Moving upward, contemplation (contemplation of Om), one ascends to the non-sound. 

This is the way of immortality, complete union and tranquility. The meditator, moving upward contemplating Om, becomes independent (not attached to the outside). At the beginning you can hear different sounds. Exceed, these sounds disappear (diving) in the non-sound supreme. Who knows the sound of the Supreme Reality, reaches the highest reality. What we call sound is the syllable Om. What is its purpose is peaceful, without sound, without fear, without pain, happy, satisfied, immobile, immovable, unshakable, immortal, durable. The reality that you know is meditating on Om without sound and without attributes. Let, therefore, that we focus on (top of) head. - (Mastri Upanishads)

Three yogi in search of perfection

"It is said that three yogis, striving for perfection, have gone to meditate in the forest. A man passes by and, finding its way on the first yogi, gives him a slap. Yogi gets up and makes two daughters! For him, perfection was still far off, and the story does not say if he resumed his meditation. 

Continuing on his way, the man meets the second yogi, and also settles him a slap. Yogi gets up with the intention of returning, but immediately recovers and returns to his seat. At least he had learned self-control! 

The third yogi, he received the blow, but did not notice either, and continued to meditate quietly. 

The lesson is easy to be drawn: the first yogis still belonged to the category of common human beings who are protesting and calling for justice, and that, sadly, let go of injustice. The second was among those who have learned to control himself, because they have thought through the consequences of their actions, they say: "Not worth it, even more complicated things." The third was already so advanced that not even heard of being hit. "

Second Osho Meditation

According to Osho, the meditation is a state that goes "beyond the mind," of total presence of self in which to reach knowingly inner silence. He insisted on the fact that meditation can not be explained or described in a comprehensive way, being an experience in which the mind and any logical thinking (hence the language) are transcended. The practice of meditation ... 

... not necessarily include spiritual or religious thoughts, and you can not force it through an act of will, even if it is a discipline, but only let this state of "no mind" that is the look the thing in itself without making judgments of any kind, you spontaneously. This is the mind of the child who looks charmed the wonders of the world is the innocent mind which looks for the first time about the universe and contemplate it. 

Osho is assumed that being in "meditation" is a common and natural condition of man. But, he added, it is very difficult for modern man to achieve this condition using traditional techniques (such as sitting in silence just crossed legs) because he is constantly many "distractions" and external stimuli and the mind is so full of thoughts which run from one side that lost the ability to stand still and dedicate himself to his inner listening. For this reason, identifies some active meditation techniques' whose essential purpose was to calm the mind to create that space of silence and awareness necessary for meditation. 

Some of these preparatory exercises can be found in the treatment of modern Western psychotherapy (pe Gestalt therapy), and consists in the alteration of the breath in gibberish (to speak in an unknown language), in cry or laugh freely, dancing and move the body to attain a state of catharsis, or the collapse of the superstructure and mental liberation from them through emotional explosion. This frees the body and the structure of psycho-energetics of all those emotional blocks which prevent the free expression of self in everyday life. 

The techniques of meditation are called major proposals by Osho Active Meditations (active meditations) and include meditations: "dynamic", "kundalini", "Nadabrahma", "Nataraj." They are based on the following assumptions: 1. design of complete identity between the body and psychic structure (every suppressed emotion or trauma internalized has a counterpart in the physical body), 2. the emotional and social conditions suffered by man since his early childhood, though much rooted in their psycho-physical structure, must be removed, which requires an act of will of the practitioner. 

Osho also re-introduced some traditional techniques of meditation, reducing them to their most essential expression, abstracting them from their rituals and formalism, and retaining the parties most 'therapeutic'. Also supported the theory that the meditative state can be achieved and maintained, with sufficient practice, even through the daily actions.
