After an additional outstanding activity loaded weekend break of the 200hr instructor training course at YogaHub, there are several things I could cover. On representation, the most powerful of all activities that took location throughout the weekend break was my very first experience of an “Osho Energetic Meditation” strategy with Casey.

Before I explore the experience of the meditation itself, I must first outline a bit about the history of the male behind the practice.

Who is Osho?

Osho (11 Dec 1931 – 19 Jan 1990)

Osho was an Indian mystic, master as well as spiritual teacher. His global following has continued after his death.

According to Osho every person is a Buddha with the capacity for enlightenment, efficient in genuine love and also of reacting as opposed to reacting to life, although the ego generally prevents this, recognizing with social conditioning as well as creating false needs as well as disputes as well as an illusory feeling of identity that is just an obstacle of dream. Or else man’s inherent being can blossom in an action from the periphery to the centre.

Active Meditation Techniques

Osho provided meditation not simply as a method but as a state of awareness to be preserved in every moment, a total awareness that awakens the individual from the sleep of mechanical feedbacks conditioned by beliefs and also assumptions. He recommended even more than a hundred Reflection strategies in overall. His very own ‘Energetic Reflection’ techniques are characterised by stages of exercise bring about silence.

The Osho Meditation Experience

Before anyone goes and looks for this sort of reflection on YouTube, I would strongly suggestions people not to try this type of reflection alone. The practice can raise effective feelings as well as it is best done within a guided team setting.

The technique was led throughout by Casey. Taking a comfy standing stance with knees somewhat bent as well as hands by our sides we were directed to shut our eyes. We were after that led through our breathing strategy, breathing in and also out with the mouth at a fast lane throughout the technique. We were likewise motivated to use our hands to assist in pushing our breath of each of the 7 specific chakras, from the root to the crown. Rapid paced reflection music was played behind-the-scenes in order to aid with the breathing process.

I stood wooden for the initial couple of mins, not rather certain what to do with my hands. I was focusing way also difficult on puffing as well as panting out my mouth to even take into consideration relocating any kind of arm or legs. I feared for any YogaHub participants passing by the space as they might have been disturbed by the hefty grunting as well as gasping. To be sincere, I had not been comfy with the audios in the space, specifically the ones I was making.

Roughly 10 mins into the process I opened my eyes and everyone in the area was tossing their hands around, taking a breath heavily and just opting for it. With this in mind, I closed my eyes and also dropped my inhibitions as finest I could. As I obtained a lot more into the process, I began to discharge out breaths of rage as well as aggravation, forcing them out of my mouth at a ferocious pace as my arms and hands threw away some severe forms. As time went by my breast started to melt as though it had actually never experienced such powerful breathing. My head came to be light and also hands and also feet began to tingle.

About 20 minutes in and I was totally consumed while doing so. My body started to prickle throughout and there were moments when I thought I was mosting likely to pass out. I’m extremely persistent so I was determined that I would finish the procedure. If I was going to lose consciousness, then so be it. Taking a breath fast in as well as out of my mouth for an extended period of time is not a normal activity of mine so I was in unchartered region as for my mind and body was concerned.

30 minutes of intense breathing later we slowly transitioned into shavasana (corpse position). As I put down and also close my eyes I was panting for air. I was entirely relieved when we were guided to exist down as I was close to yelling, weeping, yelling or taking off in the direction of the end of the standing practice. I was significantly exhausted as well as bewildered with numerous feelings. It took a couple of mins in shavasana before I started to calm down. As my breath began to decrease to it’s all-natural rhythm, my body felt extremely light as I really felt layers of stress dissolve right into the ground underneath me.

After 45 minutes the method was brought to a close as we turned up into a seated pose as well as opened our eyes.

Conclusion

The whole energetic reflection procedure was unbelievably powerful and it brought me to locations that I have actually only ever gotten near to with various other substances. Osho Energetic Meditation is most definitely worth trying as well as I hope Casey intends to do an “Active Reflection” workshop quickly as I would certainly love to go deeper into this reflection process.

If you have not attempted this kind of meditation it is absolutely worth trying, especially if you locate seated reflection exceptionally hard to do.
