The meditation is
meant to be done in the early morning, when as Osho explains it, “the whole of
nature becomes alive, the night has gone, the sun is coming up and everything
becomes conscious and alert.”
"This is a
meditation in which you have to be continuously alert, conscious, aware,
whatsoever you do. The first step, breathing; the second step, catharsis; the
third step, the mantra, 'Hoo.'
"Remain a
witness. Don’t get lost. It is easy to get lost. While you are breathing you
can forget; you can become one with the breathing so much that you can forget
the witness. But then you miss the point. Breathe as fast, as deep as possible,
bring your total energy to it, but still remain a witness. Observe what is
happening as if you are just a spectator, as if the whole thing is happening to
somebody else, as if the whole thing is happening in the body and the
consciousness is just centered and looking. This witnessing has to be carried
in all the three steps. And when everything stops, and in the fourth step you
have become completely inactive, frozen, then this alertness will come to its
peak." Osho
Instructions:
The meditation lasts
one hour and has five stages. Keep your eyes closed throughout, using a
blindfold if necessary. It can be done alone, and can be even more powerful if
it is done with others.
