Inspired by the salons of the Enlightenment which were gatherings to discuss truth and life as they saw it.
In this module we will be present with the words and silence of those in whom the greatest transformation has taken place. Although you can find differences in expressions, it is remarkable how much you will find in common. Ultimately, they are all pointing to the same ground of Being and are speaking from the same silence.
In this program we are going to introduce Osho’s Nadabrahma Mediation Meditation. Below you will see the instructions for the meditation, two excerpts from Osho discourses in the Listening Meditation, an instructional video for Nadabrahma meditation and the music which Osho designed to be used for the Meditation. You can either play the files by left clicking on the link or download them by “right clicking” and choosing “save file as.”
Next you will find links so that you can read the discourses as well and finally there is some Extra Material provided.
If you like you can begin the program with Amido giving the invocation.
Enjoy!
Here you can also explore all of the programs from Sat Sangha Salon: A Meeting in Meditation.
Nadabrahma Meditation is a one-hour technique in three stages. It has been adapted from an ancient Tibetan method. It can be done any time of the day or night, alone or with others. It is good to do this technique with an empty stomach.
First Stage: 30 minutes
Sit in a relaxed position with eyes closed and lips together. Start humming, loudly enough to be heard by others and create a vibration throughout your body. Feel yourself to be a hollow tube (like a hollow bamboo) or an empty vessel, filled only with the vibrations of the humming. A point will come when the humming continues by itself, and you become the listener. There is no special breathing, and you can alter your pitch or move your body smoothly and slowly if you feel to.
Second Stage: 15 minutes (7 1/2+7 1/2)
The second stage is divided into two 7 ½ minute sections. For the first half, move the hands, palms up, in an outward circular motion. Starting at the navel, both hands move forward 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 outward to the universe.
After 7 ½ minutes turn the hands, palm down, and start moving them in the opposite direction. Now the hands will come together toward the navel and divide outward to the sides of the body. Feel that you are taking energy in. As in the first stage, don’t inhibit any soft, slow movement of the rest of your body.
Third Stage: 15 minutes
Sitting or lying down remain absolutely quiet and still.
Osho says:
So in Nadabrahma, remember this: let the body and mind be totally together, but remember that you have to become a witness. Get out of them, easily, slowly, from the back door, with no fight, with no struggle.
