October 18, 2020There are a plethora of spiritual practices that have been in existence since ancient times – meditation, yoga, breathwork, tantra, prayers, mindfulness, and many more. Throughout the ages, they have served humanity in many ways. They have helped people realize the true nature of reality, understand themselves, and even shape their lives the way they want. Ancient spiritual texts are filled with life-changing knowledge of how you can use these practices for your betterment.
Over time humans have evolved and human beings today are quite different than the ones that existed thousands of years ago. Our lives have changed, and our way of thinking has changed, as well as our habits, food, and dreams. Osho, a spiritual leader, used to say that the modern man is a totally new phenomenon. This is why most traditional spiritual practices and methods are not as effective if used exactly as they exist. We need the evolution of ancient practices to fit our modern needs.
Noting the need for adaptation of ancient practices in line with the modern human being, Osho developed some popular meditation techniques called the Osho Active Meditations. His rationale was that an average person finds it too hard to sit still and meditate for any meaningful amount of time. There are just too many worries and stressors in their mind for them to effectively bring their attention to a single point. This is why so many people give up or won’t try meditation.
One of the Osho Active Meditations is named Kundalini Meditation. This practice takes a person through four stages. The first stage is called shaking, and it involves letting loose and shaking your body. The second stage is called dancing, and it involves dancing as you like. The third stage involves sitting still and observing everything that is happening inside and outside of you. The final stage of the meditation is called lying and involves lying down with eyes closed and letting go of everything.
This meditation technique has deliberately been designed so that during the first two stages, blocked energy is released. This becomes useful during the later two stages when they can sit still and exist in the present moment.
There are many reasons why you should practice Osho Active Meditations. The meditations have been designed for our modern lives and, as such, are more effective. Plus, they have many benefits for our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. Let’s take a look at these benefits:
It is believed that at the centre of the energy flow of the body, there are seven chakras that each regulate different organs. When energy gets blocked at any of these chakras, it leads to the development of ailments and health conditions. According to Osho, meditation acts as the perfect remedy to keep the chakras of your body unclogged and for the unfettered flow of energy in the body. Thus followers of this practice suggest that Osho Active Meditations can prevent the onset of disease as when you meditate, you are constantly cleansing the subtle energy body that surrounds your physical body.
Stress, anxiety, and depression are common in modern society. Due to the ever-increasing complexities of life, the average person is under more pressure than ever. All of this can lead to the deterioration of your mental health. Stress and anxiety can be silent killers, and it is essential to manage your mental health.
Osho Active Meditations help to decrease the number of thoughts that appear in your mind. It also allows you to monitor these thoughts so that any negative ones can be discarded. This regulation of the thought process can lead to the reduction of stress, anxiety, and depression. It can also instil inner peace, calm, and serenity which leads to better focus on any area of your life.
Humans experience a whole spectrum of emotions but the daily stressors of life can keep people on the negative side of this spectrum. We all want to feel happy, blissful, joyful, and relaxed and this is what Osho Active Meditations can help you achieve.
If you keep following these meditation techniques, you can awaken something called the Kundalini energy – the energy of your life force. This plays a crucial role in determining how conscious you are as a spiritual being. When awakened or activated, it can raise your level of consciousness. It can also balance your emotions and help you remain blissful. When you achieve this state, nothing in life can hamper your life experience. Some studies support that meditation helps with increasing patience, tolerance to uncertainty, sense of responsibility, confidence, happiness, positive attitude and thinking (Bansai, Mittal, Seth, 2016).
Finally, we come to a set of spiritual benefits that all spiritual seekers want to enjoy. According to spiritual texts, the true nature of reality is that: the entire universe is just one conscious energy. Humans are part of this universal energy, just as droplets of water are a part of the ocean.
Through Osho Active Meditations, you can experience this eternal consciousness within. For most spiritual seekers, this is the ultimate goal. Those who are able to achieve this state are often said to become enlightened beings. Of course, this takes practice, dedication, and time. However, according to countless spiritual leaders, sages, monks, mystics, and others, it is possible. Make a start on your ultimate spiritual destination – the assimilation of the self into the universal ocean of consciousness.
