Posted by Dimple| ओशो सक्रिय ध्यानTM एक घंटे की अवधि के सक्रिय ध्यान के पांच चरण हैं। यह अकेले भी किया जा सकता है। और यदि इसे समूह में किया जाये तो यह और भी सशक्त हो जाता है। यह आपका निजी अनुभव है अत: आप अपने आस-पास दूसरे व्यक्तियों को भूल जायें और पूरा समय आँखें बंद रखें। बेहतर होगा यदि आप आँख पर पट्टी बांध लें। इसे खाली पेट व ढीले वस्त्रों में करना श्रेयस्कर होगा। | ||||
| | प्रथम चरण : 10 मिनट
| |||
| | दूसरा चरण : 10 मिनट

| | तीसरा चरण: 10 मिनट

| | यदि उस स्थान पर जहाँ आप ध्यान कर रहे हैं, शोर करना मना है तो इसे चुपचाप करने का विकल्प इस प्रकार है: आवाजों को बाहर फेंकने की बजाय दूसरे चरण में अपना रेचन शारीरिक मुद्राओं द्वारा करें। तीसरे चरण में “हू” ध्वनि की चोट अपने भीतर ही करें। | |||
