Nadabrahma Meditation TM
From www.osho.com
|
Nadabrahma meditation lasts for one hour
and has three stages. It is a sitting method, in which humming and hand
movements create an inner balance, a harmony between mind and body.
Suitable for any time of the day, have an empty stomach and remain
inactive for at least fifteen minutes afterwards.
“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. They
are drinking - you get out, and watch from the outside....” Osho

First
Stage: 30 minutes
Sit in a relaxed position with eyes closed. With lips together, start
humming, loud enough so that if you are doing it with others, you can be
heard by them. This will create a vibration in your body. You can
visualize a hollow tube or 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 the
pitch, and move your body smoothly and slowly, if you feel to.

Second
Stage: 15 minutes
This stage is divided into two segments, of seven and a half minutes each.
For the first part, move the hands, palms upwards, 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 outwards to the universe. After seven
and a half minutes, the music will change and you turn your hands palm
downwards, and start moving them in the opposite direction. Now the hands
will come together towards the navel and divide outwards towards the side
of the body. Feel that you are taking energy in. As in the first stage,
don’t inhibit any soft, slow movements of the rest of your body.
