Osho Gourishankar Meditation, with Music by Deuter, consists of four stages of 15 minutes each. The first two stages prepare the meditator for the spontaneous Latihan of the third stage. Osho says that if the breathing is done correctly in the first stage, the carbon dioxide formed in the bloodstream will make you feel as high as Gourishankar - the Tibetan name for the Mount Everest.
'The way of Buddha is meditation, the way of Jesus is prayer, but these are simply different names for the same phenomenon. Meditation means becoming silent, utterly silent, becoming a no-mind, and prayer also means becoming a deep listening. What you think is prayer is not prayer. You think saying something to God is prayer? It is not prayer at all! What can you say to God, what have you to say to God? Real prayer begins only when you start listening to God, when you become utterly silent, just a listening; then meditation and prayer come very close. Meditation is silence and prayer too is silence -- just different names for the same phenomenon.' from: The Guest by Osho.

"Everyone has experienced a moment of pure awareness. A moment without thinking '! am aware' or 'that is a tree.' Such moments bring a sense of rightness, of clarity, of being at one. Such moments are the essence of meditation." - Ram Dass

Here he shares his understanding and explores the many paths of meditation - from mantra, prayer, singing, visualization, and "just sitting" to movement meditations such as t'ai chi - and suggests how you can find a method suitable for you. He illustrates the stages and benefits of meditative practice, and provides wise and often humorous advice on overcoming difficulties along the way.
