Gibberish Meditation: Osho

It is one of the best meditations for those who are new to Meditation.“Gibberish is to get rid of the active mind, silence to get rid of the inactive mind and let-go is to enter into the transcendental." - Osho Remember, the first step of the meditation is Gibberish. Gibberish simply means throwing out your craziness, which is already there in the mind, piled up for centuries. As you throw it out you will find yourself becoming light, becoming more alive, just within two minutes. First Stage: GibberishWhile sitting, close your eyes and begin to say nonsense sounds – any sounds or words, so long as they make no sense. Just speak any language that you don't know!Allow yourself to express whatever needs to be expressed within you. Throw everything out. The mind thinks, always, in terms of words. Gibberish helps to break up this pattern of continual verbalization. Without suppressing your thoughts, you can throw them out. Let your body likewise be expressive. Second Stage: MovingMoving In After some minutes of Gibberish, then stop. Then, “Be silent, close your eyes...no movement of the body – feel frozen. Go inwards, deeper and deeper, just like an arrow. Penetrate all the layers and hit the center of your existence.” Third Stage: Let-goAfter the second stage without arranging yourself, just allow yourself to fall down "like a bag of rice," so you are lying, utterly still and relaxed, on your back as you are guided even more deeply into a silent stillness. Fourth Stage: Coming Back At the final stage, come back to a sitting position, with the reminder to carry the glimpse of silent awareness one may have had into everyday activities.By OSHO It is one of the best meditations for those who are new to Meditation.“Gibberish is to get rid of the active mind, silence to get rid of the inactive mind and let-go is to enter into the transcendental." - Osho Remember, the first step of the meditation is Gibberish.
