OSHO GOURISHANKAR MEDITATION

OSHO Gourishankar Meditation

Osho Gourishankar Meditation is a powerful centering technique which works on the third eye. This technique consists of four

stages of 15 minutes each. The first two stages prepare the meditator for the spontaneous experience of the third stage. Osho

has said that if the breathing is done correctly in the first stage, the meditator will feel as if on Gourishankar (Mount Everest).

OSHO Gourishankar Meditation

The meditation lasts one hour and has four stages of 15 minutes each.

Osho says that if the breathing is done correctly in the first stage of this meditation the carbon dioxide formed in the bloodstream will make you feel as high as Gourishankar (Mt. Everest).This “high” is carried into the subsequent stages of soft gazing, soft and spontaneous movement, and silent stillness.

First Stage: 15 minutes

Sit with closed eyes. Inhale deeply through the nose, filling the lungs. Hold the breath for as long as possible; then exhale gently through the mouth, and keep the lungs empty for as long as possible. Continue this breathing cycle throughout this stage.

Second Stage: 15 minutes

Return to normal breathing and with a gentle gaze look at a candle flame or a flashing blue light. Keep your body still.

Note: Those with a neurological disorder such as epilepsy should never use a strobe or flashing light for this meditation. Instead they can do the second stage with a blindfold.

Third Stage: 15 minutes

With closed eyes, stand up and let your body be loose and receptive. The subtle energies will be felt to move the body outside your normal control. Allow this “Latihan” to happen. Don’t you do the moving: let moving happen, gently and gracefully.

Fourth Stage: 15 minutes

  

                                

Lie down with closed eyes, silent and still.
