Dynamic Meditation : The original

version
A clarification:

B efore I tell you about this meditation technique, let me clarify

that the meditation technique described here is NOT the ‘Osho
Dynamic Meditation technique’ ( the one which is normally practiced
today.) The ‘Osho Dynamic Meditation’ is the trademark of ‘Osho
International Foundation’, Pune. You can visit there official website
here
Further if you want to learn the ‘Osho Dynamic Meditation technique’,
you can learn it here.
The meditation technique described here in detail is the earlier,
enjoyable version of dynamic meditation technique. This technique
has been taken from an essay on Osho by Christopher Calder from his
website. His website is a good collection of articles on meditation,
Buddhism and spirituality. Though I do not agree with every word
Christopher has written , most articles in his site are interesting,
enjoyable and worth reading. You can download a formatted version
of his meditation handbook here.
Dynamic meditation
The following is correct and most effective version of dynamic
meditation technique. It has four stages, each lasting ten minutes.

Stage #1) Start by standing with your eyes closed and breath deep
and fast through your nose for ten minutes. Allow your body to move
freely. Jump, sway back and forth, or use any physical motion that
helps you pump more oxygen into your lungs.
Stage #2) The second ten minute stage is one of catharsis. Let go
totally and be spontaneous. You may dance or roll on the ground. For
once in your life screaming is allowed and encouraged. You must act
out any anger you feel in a safe way, such as beating the earth with
your hands. All the suppressed emotions from your subconscious
mind are to be released.
Stage #3) In the third stage you jump up and down yelling Hoo!,
Hoo!, Hoo! continuously for ten minutes. This sounds very silly, and it
is funny, but the loud vibration of your voice travels down to your
centers of stored energy and pushes that energy upward. When doing
this stage it is important to keep your arms loose and in a natural
position. Do not hold your arms over your head as that position can
be medically dangerous.
Stage #4) The fourth 10 minute stage is complete relaxation and
quiet. Flop down on your back, get comfortable, and just let go. Be as
a dead man, totally surrendered to the cosmos. Enjoy the tremendous
energy you have unleashed in the first three stages and become a
silent witness to the ocean as it flows into the drop. Become the
ocean.
This wonderful technique is intended to grow with the student and
change as the student changes. After a few years of practicing the
method vigorously the first three stages of the meditation should drop
away spontaneously. You then go into the meditation hall, take a few
deep breaths, and immediately go deep into the ecstasy of the fourth
stage. The method is fluid, health giving, and fun. Those new students
who wish to experiment with Rajneesh Dynamic Meditation should
read the following precautionary steps before experimenting with this
powerful technique.

Precautions: Obviously one must practice Dynamic Meditation in a

safe location and not near the edge of a cliff or on a hard surface
where one might fall and break one’s skull. A large room or hall with
thick carpeting is good. Outdoors in the early morning on a soft and
well tended lawn with group participation is best. Do it on an empty
stomach and avoid falling into dangerous objects such as windows. It
is allowable to briefly open one’s eyes occasionally to maintain your
location. Create a safety zone around your dancing and spontaneous
body movements. Be courteous to neighbors and delete the
screaming if it will be heard by others.
Almost all Westerners are head oriented and emotionally repressed.
For them a chaotic, spontaneous, and emotionally cleansing
technique like this is vital for serious progress to be made quickly. The
physical benefits of this technique obviate any need for hatha yoga or
traditional kundalini yoga methods.
