“Nataraj is the dancer of all dancers. You cannot separate the dancer and the dance, they are always together. If there is a dance there is the dancer;the dance has no other life then the dancer. And when the dancer is really in dance he is not separate from his dance either. The dancer dissolves into his dance.” Osho

First stage: 40 minutes

With eyes closed dance as if possessed. Let your unconscious take over completely. Do not control your movements or be a witness to what is happening. Just be totally in the dance.

"Let the dance flow in its own way; don't force it. Rather, follow it; allow it to happen. It is not a doing but a happening. Remain in the mood of festivity. You are not doing something very serious; you are just playing, playing with your life energy, playing with your bio-energy, allowing it to move in its own way. Just like the wind blows and the river flows - you are flowing and blowing. Feel it. And be playful. Remember this word "playful" always - it is very basic. In India creation is called God's leela - God's play. God has not created the world; it is his play.

Disappear in the dance. Forget the dancer, the center of the ego; become the dance. Dance so deeply that you forget completely "you" are dancing and begin to feel that you are the dance. As the division disappears, then it becomes a meditation. If the division remains, then it is an exercise: which is okay and healthy, but it is not spiritual. It is just a simple dance. Dance is good in itself - as far as it goes, it is good. After it, you will feel fresh and young. But it is not meditation yet. In meditation, the dancer must go, until only the dance remains.” Osho

Second stage: 20 minutes

Keeping your eyes closed, lie down immediately. Be silent and still.

Third stage: 5 minutes

Dance in celebration and enjoy.
