 Kundalini Meditation A popular evening meditation practice. Includes loosening the body, dancing, witnessing and resting stages. Stressful living and unexpressed emotions can effect our ability to live joyfully and relate to others. Osho Active Meditations are scientifically designed to effectively release these tensions which block the natural flow of energies in our bodies, allowing us to become more peaceful and relaxed. Osho Kundalini is one of Osho's most popular and potent meditations techniques. It involves shaking, dancing, sitting silently and relaxing.
Osho Active Meditations combine all certain activities like shaking, dancing, jumping, humming and others to lead into silence and meditation. Music is used as a background for all these meditations. A final stage of 15 minutes of silence completes the meditations and a gong signals the end. A complete CD download includes also the silent stage. So one part of the download will have 0 MB and this is part of the experience.
First Stage: 15 minutes
 | Be loose and let your whole body shake, feeling the energies moving up from your feet. Let go everywhere and become the shaking. Your eyes may be open or closed.“Allow the shaking; don’t do it. Stand silently, feel it coming and when your body starts trembling, help it but don’t do it. Enjoy it, feel blissful about it, allow it, receive it, welcome it, but don’t will it.“If you force it will become an exercise, a bodily, physical exercise. Then the shaking will be there but just on the surface; it will not penetrate you. You will remain solid, stone-like, rock-like within. You will remain the manipulator, the doer, and the body will just be following. The body is not the question – you are the question.“When I say shake, I mean your solidity, your rock-like being should shake to the very foundations so that it becomes liquid, fluid, melts, flows. And when the rock-like being becomes liquid, your body will follow. Then there is no shake, only shaking. Then nobody is doing it; it is simply happening. Then the doer is not.” Osho |
Second Stage: 15 minutes
 | Dance...any way you feel, and let the whole body move as it wishes. |
Third Stage: 15 minutes
 | Close your eyes and be still, sitting or standing...witnessing whatever is happening inside and out. |
Fourth Stage: 15 minutes
 | Keeping your eyes closed, lie down and be still. |

Osho is a globally renowned meditation instructor whose revolutionary approach stems from an understanding of the modern mind: It is stressed and overstimulated and needs to quiet down before any real "samadhi" can be achieved through stillness. There are various meditations created by Osho, all based on this principle. “Kundalini Meditation” is a mellow variation on Osho's Dynamic Meditation, which is more movement-oriented. There is still movement in the kundalini, which involves a series of four stages of approximately 15 minutes each that are meant to relax you from the stress of the day (ideally this is done in the late afternoon or after work). Practitioners begin by standing and letting their bodies shake out tension, then dancing, then sitting, then lying down. The music to accompany this process is important, and who could be more qualified than healing-music pioneer Deuter, who implicitly understands the dynamics behind each stage?
"First Stage" is a warm-up of clattering percussion that gradually laps into an otherworldly synthesizer melody-this taps into the unconscious, inviting movement of an almost involuntary nature. "Second Stage" starts out with a steadily strummed acoustic guitar and is gradually joined by simple elements of percussion, keyboard, flutes, and maracas, then simple human vowel singing and electric guitar as the energy builds. There's a great clap-along-or-join-in-the-clatter here, leading to the switch to stillness-gently singing Tibetan bowls and bells, calling the conscious mind away to let one's inner self stretch out unhindered for the sitting portion of the meditation. "Fourth Stage"-for the lying down and relaxing portion-is 15 minutes of complete silence. Yes, silence. It leads to a final toll of the bells, ending the meditation. If you are one of those who wishes their meditation CD would sometimes just stop for 10 minutes and then chime so you know to come out of your trance, this is the one for you.
While one goes along with this seemingly mad approach, there is the feeling that Deuter knows best-and Osho, too, of course. Each track builds and shifts in such a way that if you find yourself drifting back to worry and daydreaming, you can follow Deuter as he weaves his magical web, which catches your rascally ego like a fly in a bejeweled web.
