Osho Meditation – Just Feel the Breath

Osho – One meditation you can start every night before you go to sleep…. Just sit in your bed – sit in a relaxed way – and close your eyes. Feel the body relaxing…. If the body starts leaning forwards, allow it; it may lean forward. It may like to take a womb posture – just as when a child is in the mother’s womb. If you feel like that, just move into the womb posture: become a small child in the mother’s womb.

Then just listen to your breathing, nothing else. Just listen to it – the breathing going in, the breathing going out; the breathing going in, the breathing going out. I’ m not saying to say it – just feel it going in; when it is going out, feel it going out.

Just feel it, and in that feeling you will feel tremendous silence and clarity arising. This is just for ten to twenty minutes – minimum ten, maximum twenty – then go to sleep, mm? And tell me after fifteen days. Just let things happen as if you are not the doer. For fifteen days become completely dead. That will be a very necessary thing for the fruit to ripen and to fall on its own accord.

In India we have a special science for it -- jaati smaran, remembrance of the past. A certain meditation, certain preparations and you can enter into past lives. But remember that you have to have the stamina and the guts not to get lost. Only in the East has reincarnation been considered. And the three religions which have born in India are the only religions which have an absolute agreement on the point of reincarnation. They differ in their philosophy, theology, on everything, but not on rebirth. It is factual to all of them. They all have come in their meditations to the same place. They cannot deny it. It is an existential fact that you have been before and you will be after your death. The one that was before birth, and the one that will be after death is the same one. Its name is the buddha. Its name is the witness. It never dies and it never is born.
