Humming is an old Tibetan technique which I learned from Osho, particularly through his Nadabrahma meditation, and I sometimes like to do 10-15 minutes of Humming in groups in the evening as a way of harmonizing the body energies which need relaxation after a “hard days’ work” on the muscular armoring.

HUMMING—excerpted from “The Orange Book”, pp 151-154, 1980

"Humming can be a tremendous help and you can do it whenever…At least once a day, if you can do it twice it will be good. It is such a great inner music that it brings peace to your whole being; then your conflicting parts start falling in tune and by and by a subtle music which you can hear arises in your body.

After three or four months you will just be sitting silently and you can hear a subtle music, a harmony inside, a kind of humming.

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. You can visualize a hollow tube 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 the pitch or move your body smoothly and slowly if you feel like it."

For this meditation I usually use the first stage of Osho’s Nadabrahma Meditation (click here to order a copy) as background music. After 10-15 minutes of humming in a circle together with the group, I ring a bell and we simply sit silently for another 5 minutes; then I ring a bell at the end to bring everyone back.

Recently I found my moldy old copy of “The Orange Book: The Meditation Techniques of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh”, first published in 1980. It is packed with all kinds of wonderful techniques, with beautiful explanations and commentaries. I would like to share some of these meditations here, and include Osho’s words about the meditations he created, from this jewel of a book.
 
So let’s come back to ‘square one’ in this issue of the Pulsation Newsletter and feature the Dynamic Meditation.
Dynamic Meditaion is a very powerful tool that we can use at any point in our journey. The benefits of doing Dynamic regularily are many. It loosens the blocks in the body and helps the life energy to flow more fully again. It gives space to unload old emotional baggage and it opens the door to deep insights and understandings.

Let’s not forget the huge benefits that lie hidden in the depths of this revolutionary meditation! Yes, it takes a special effort to get to, and go through, the Dynamic in the early morning. But its deep-cleaning effects on the body/energy systems and the mind, can change the colors of our days!

Here is an article I wrote about how Dynamic meditation and Pulsation complement and support each other:

Many of you have heard it before: Pulsation as a hands-on neo-Reichian technique is based on the teachings of Charles Kelley. For those of you who'd like to know more about Kelley and his Radix work, please visit the Kelley-Radix website at  www.kelley-radix.org which offers a lot of insightful information and many very valuable articles for FREE download that are especially recommended for our Pulsation trainees.

The Chakra Breathing Meditation is one of my all-time favorite meditations. It is not one created by Osho, but in the late 80s he gave his stamp of approval to include a new recording of Chakra Breathing in his collection.

There are many benefits from practising Chakra Breathing Meditation, particularly for people who have participated in Pulsation or Tantric Pulsation groups/Trainings. This meditation keeps the body moving and the energy flowing, and it also gives a way to focus your attention inside your own body to feel what happens there when you breathe so intensely.

By breathing deeply and fairly quickly into the chakras, we charge the segments with energy while we move and pulsate that part of the body. This promotes a vertical connection between all the chakras, and offers a taste of inner wholeness as energy flows more easily up and down the spine.

Phase 1: Breathe into the chakras, one by one, starting with the first at the sex center, swinging the pelvis in rhythm with the breath. Move up to the next chakra each time the music moves up a tone, and a bell rings.

While breathing into the chakras:
1) visualize the chakra filling with breath and emptying—pulsating.
2) vibrate a soft sound inside the chakra as you breathe out.
3) breathe, if you can, in the same rhythm as the background music.
4) swing your pelvis backwards with the in-breath, and forwards with the out-breath, letting hands and arms move loosely and rhythmically to support the breathing.

"So start this breathing. And enjoy it. Just by sheer breathing you can come to a subtle orgasm in the whole body. The whole body can be infused with new energy. You can vibrate all over and you can see many parts of your body that you have denied. becoming alive again."
