A practitioner of Zen will tell you that everything you do should be done with a purpose, with awareness, and with intent. To do something with awareness is to see more in your actions and the results than the obvious. You are completely present in what is happening around you. This means that you are focused not just on boiling the water, but the sound of the water as the molecules heat up and begin to dance around each other aiding in the increase of heat. Intent is looking deeper and finding the value in what you see, hear, do, and feel.

Osho Sufi whirling meditation has many benefits. It enables you to temporarily severe the hold the mundane world has on you. It allows you to build energy that focus in on your heart center and opens communication with the divine. When you’re no longer whirling you make a true connection with the earth as you disperse the energy that built up inside of you back into the soil. The low impact exercise of Whirling will keep you slim and full of energy when done on a regular basis.

The purpose of Zazen Meditation is to free your mind of the materialistic hold our lives have on us and once you are able to allow your thoughts to enter and quietly leave without investigation you will no longer be limited. This will provide you the quiet calm needed to see the truth of your nature and your place within yourself and the world. Your body, mind, and breath will become one.

The flow of energy through the body can be blocked several ways. An illness or an injury can stop the flow. The seven chakra points within the body can also be a stopping point. To understand the techniques of chakra breathing as a tool for maintaining or achieving inner balance, one must know what chakras are and where they are located within the body. Each chakra point is represented by a different vibration, color, symbol, and even sound. To be able to bring them into balance one must know which color or symbol or vibration goes with which power point. This knowledge will make deciding on the best technique easier.

In Gautama the Buddha, the world knows an Indian prince who abandons his luxurious life – his palaces, his pleasures, his princess and even his infant son – to search his true self in the forest. He starves himself, denies himself until he becomes quiet, calm, still, peaceful, silent, and serene. Finally, he becomes enlightened.

Osho left this world in 1990. When you consider his ideas and beliefs about meditation, you realized that he turned traditional concepts upside down and inside out. Yet, his mode of meditation is still on the rise in usage. Apparently, his form of meditation is something that is more appealing to people that might not have gotten into meditation if only the tried and well-known methods were available to the contemporary public–maybe, a more raucous mode for an edgier generation.
