Osho’s Passive Meditation Techniques

Osho’s Passive Meditation

1. Watching the Breath

Breath-watching is a method that can be done anywhere, at any time, even if you have only a few minutes available. You can simply watch the rise and fall of your chest or belly as the breath comes in and goes out, or try this version….

Step 1: Watch the In Breath

Close your eyes and start watching your breath. First, the inhalation, from where it enters your nostrils, right down into your lungs.

Step 2: Watch the Gap That Follows

At the end of the inhalation there is gap, before the exhalation starts. It is of immense value. Watch that gap.

Step 3: Watch the Out Breath

Now watch the exhalation.

Step 4: Watch the Gap That Follows

At the end of the exhalation there is a second gap: watch that gap. Do these four steps for two to three times – just watching the breathing cycle, not changing it in anyway, just watching the natural rhythm.

Step 5: Counting In Breaths

Now start counting: Inhalation – count 1 (don’t count the exhalation), inhalation – 2, and so on, up to 10. Then count from 10 back to 1. Sometimes you may forget to watch the breath or you may count beyond 10. Then start again, at 1.

“These two things have to be remembered: watching, and particularly the gaps at the top and the bottom. The experience of that gap is you, your innermost core, your being. And second: go on counting, but not more than up to 10; and come back again to 1; and only count the inhalation.

These things help awareness. You have to be aware, otherwise you will start counting the exhalation, or you will go over 10.

If you enjoy this meditation, continue it. It is of immense value.” Osho

Negative Emotion

You Are Never Alone

Never Alone

“God is my help in every need.

At any time I can shift my attention to peaceful thoughts by stopping and pausing to breathe. Inhaling deeply, I pray: I am never separate from God. God is my help in every need. Exhaling slowly and deliberately, I release any stress my body may be holding and relax. I then surrender any limiting perspective to God.

Prayer is a divine connection that enables me to move through any challenging time. Knowing that God is always with me allows me to move forward in my life with a brighter perspective. Any dark cloud symbolically lifts and feelings of worry begin to fade, leaving my heart filled with gratitude.

I feel comforted when I affirm: God is my help in every need.”

I am not alone because the Father is with me.—John 16:32

Align With Your Desire

“There are always those who thrive when masses are dying of sickness. There are always those who thrive economically when economic decline seems to be the order of your nation. There are always those who are clear-minded in environments of confusion. You do not need everyone or anyone else to align with your desire—only you need to align with your desire.”

Get so fixated on what you want, that you drown out any vibration or reverberation that has anything to do with what you do not want.”

We Have Opened a Portal ∞The 9th Dimensional Arcturian Council

“Greetings. We are the Arcturian Council. We are pleased to connect with all of you.

We have opened a gateway, a portal, that will allow more energy to flow directly to your heart chakras. This gateway has been opened previously, however, on this particular occasion, we have opened it wider than it has ever been opened before, and we are doing this because of the increasing importance that we can perceive for all of you to be heart-centered and to allow more love to flow through you.

You have taken yourselves to a place in your evolution where your consciousness continues to expand, and that experience is particularly exciting for your minds. The heart is the part of you that needs to keep up with the expansion of consciousness that is occurring. The more you know about yourselves, about your fellow humans, about the extra-terrestrials that are around, the more you need to stay in your hearts to be able to process all that you are being shown and given.

This is a time of great understanding, but that understanding needs to have compassion along with it in order for the understanding to serve you. As we open this gateway, we know that there are many beings who want to contribute to the further expansion of your heart chakras. There are many who want to raise the vibration of humanity, and they like us know that the path to raising that collective vibration is through your hearts.

The heart has long been a symbol on your world of love and of compassion, and now it has come to pass that you need to see your hearts as more than just the place where you feel that love and where you hold that compassion. It is time for you to see your hearts as the center of everything that you do, and it is time for you to see your hearts as the access points through which you get what you really need.

Your hearts contain their own portals, and you have access to so much more energy than you can even dream of through the beautiful portals at the center of your hearts. The love and the light that we are sending is meant simply to remind you of that, to activate that which is within you and that which you have unlimited access to.

We are the Arcturian Council, and we have enjoyed connecting with you.”

A Central Channel Upgrade ∞The 9th Dimensional Arcturian Council

“Greetings. We are the Arcturian Council. We are pleased to connect with all of you.

We have begun to initiate a procedure that is working directly with the energy that is contained within your central channels. You have a central channel that allows for a particular type of energy to flow through you, and we are assisting you on an energetic level to increase the amount of energy and the frequency of that energy that you will be able to hold and flow within your central channel.

Your central channel runs from the top of your head to the base of your spine, just like your seven main chakras, and the energy contained within your central channel on a regular basis is getting an upgrade. Slowly, we are enhancing and raising the vibration of that energy so that when you eventually open up to receive fifth dimensional energy, your physical bodies will have acclimated, and you will be able to run that energy through you.

Now, if you are wondering what it is that you can do to help this particular upgrade, we recommend that you practice feeling for your central channel and that you practice sending light and love to it from your heart center. Once the procedure is completed on those of you who are awakened, we will monitor the effects and see how you do with receiving fifth dimensional energy directly from fifth dimensional sources.

You are always going to lead on the path to ascension, and so once we are comfortable with the results, we will begin the process with those who are still resting. And having gone through the process yourselves, you will lead the way and ultimately you will help those who have a more challenging time acclimating to these energies. You will know how to help them because the energies that will be running through your central channel will help you help them.

We are the Arcturian Council, and we have enjoyed connecting with you.” danielscranton.com

Suffering Has a Noble Purpose

“Suffering may come to them (children) out of the blue or it may come as the consequence of their own mistakes. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could spare them from all suffering? No, it wouldn’t. They would not evolve as human beings and would remain shallow, identified with the external form of things. Suffering drives you deeper.

The man on the cross is an archetypal image. He is every man and every woman. As long as you resist suffering, it is a slow process because the resistance creates more ego to burn up. When you accept suffering, however, there is an acceleration of that process which is brought about by the fact that you suffer consciously… In the midst of conscious suffering, there is already the transmutation. The fire of suffering becomes the light of consciousness.” Eckhart Tolle, “A New Earth,” p. 101-102.

Your 5th Dimensional Abilities ∞The 9th Dimensional Arcturian Council

“Greetings. We are the Arcturian Council. We are pleased to connect with all of you. You have a series of upgrades coming your way that are designed to give you greater access to the experiences that you have heard about and wanted for yourselves that have been labeled as fifth dimensional. These upgrades are coming to you as a result of the wonderful work that you have all been doing to clear out that which is of a lower frequency, making room for these higher frequency energies that will have a much desired effect on your physical bodies.

You are using your physical bodies to access so much information that is stored in your cells and in your DNA. And as you receive these upgrades, you will be unlocking more of that potential that exists within you, the potential for greater use of your third eye, the potential for telekinesis, and even levitation and teleportation. You are beyond capable of these so-called gifts. Each one of you carries the potential within you, and each one of you has achieved these feats and more in previous lifetimes.

So you are ready for these upgrades. You are ready, and you have earned them, not that you ever have to earn anything in order to receive it. But in this case, you really have done the work that is necessary to clear out some of your deepest and darkest fears.

Those deepest and darkest fears have come from experiences of persecution, and experiences where you abused your powers. Both were equally upsetting in the lifetimes where you had those experiences, and so you’ve done a lot of work to make room for what is rightfully yours.

These upgrades will activate that which is already a part of you physically, and you will begin to experience your physical body and your physical senses in new and exciting ways. We are excited to see what you will do with your fifth-dimensional abilities in this lifetime.
