Osho Nadabrahma Meditation

CD Available - Music by Deuter

This is an ancient Tibetan meditation technique. Have an empty stomach and remain inactive 15 minutes after doing it. It can be done any time of the day or night, alone or with others. The meditation lasts one hour and there are three stages. It includes humming and witnessing stages, followed by flowing circular hand movements and a stage of stillness. The music specially made for this meditation is available on CD. To purchase it, click here.

1st Stage: 30 minutes

Sit in a relaxed position with eyes closed and lips together. With lips slightly touching, begin to hum loud enough for those around you to hear. The tone or length of hum may vary. Imagine you are an empty vessel or hallow bamboo, and the sound vibrating through you.

2nd Stage: 15 minutes total

This stage is divided into two 7-1/2 minute parts.

Part A. For the first half, move the hands, palms up, in an outward circular motion. Starting at the navel, both hands move forwards and then divide to make two large circles mirroring each other left and right. The movement should be so slow that at times there will appear to be no movement at all. Feel that you are giving energy outwards to the universe.

Part B. After seven and a half minutes there is a little gap in the music to let you know that you can now turn your palms down and reverse the circular motion of your hands, so that they now divide and circle outwards sideways from the navel and come back together in front of it. Feel that you are receiving energy from the universe.

3rd Stage: 15 minutes

Remain sitting or lie down absolutely quiet and still.

Nadabrahma Meditation for Couples

Partners sit facing each other, covered by a bed sheet holding each others crossed hands. If possible, for this meditation it is recommended not to wear any other clothing. Light the room only by four small candles and burn a particular incense, kept only for this meditation. Close your eyes and hum together for thirty minutes. After a short while the energies will be felt to meet, merge and unite.

"When you chant a sound your body starts vibrating; your brain cells particularly start vibrating. If rightly done your whole brain becomes tremendously vibrant, and the whole body also. Once the body starts vibrating and your mind is already chanting, they both fall in a tune. A harmony - which is ordinarily never there - between the two. When body and mind are both together, you are free from the body and the mind - then the third element, which you are in reality - call it soul, spirit, "atma", anything - that third element is at ease because it is not being pulled in different directions. The body and mind are so much engrossed in chanting that the soul can slip out of them very easily, unobserved, and can become a witness - and can stand out and look at the whole game that is going on between the mind and the body. They become drunk with chanting, and you slip out". OSHO
