Kundalini Meditation (OSHO)
Kundalini Meditation is a unique practice specifically designed to awaken the inner energy and clear the mind. It is ideal for the evening time, when the sun is setting and the world around you is gradually sinking into silence. In this magical moment, meditation helps to restore inner balance, free the body and mind from tension, and connect your energy with nature's rhythms.
Kundalini meditation lasts 1 hour and consists of four stages, three of which are accompanied by music and the last one takes place in silence. Each stage aims to activate and release energy in the body, allowing you to feel a deep connection with yourself.
Stage 1 (15 minutes)
Start with your eyes closed. Feel your body, relax and unwind. Give yourself permission to feel the energy moving from your feet, gradually encompassing your entire body. Let this energy manifest through the shaking, don't resist it. Feel the vibrations spreading through your body and allow yourself to become that shake, letting go of all tension completely. It is important to be as open and sensitive as possible in this moment, allowing the energy to flow freely.
Stage 2 (15 minutes)
Without opening your eyes, start dancing. Let your body move the way it wants to move. Let go of all limitations and follow every impulse. Let the dance be an expression of what is happening inside of you - whether it is joy, release or savouring the moment. Don't try to control the movements, allow the body to open up completely and move to its own rhythm. This is the stage where you open yourself through dance and allow the Kundalini energy to flow freely up your spinal column.
Stage 3 (15 minutes)
Stand up straight with your eyes closed and freeze. Become absolutely still, surrendering completely to a state of awareness and observation. Here it is important to witness everything that is happening both within you and around you. All thoughts, emotions and sensations come and go - your task is simply to observe and not interfere. This is the stage of mindfulness, where you become pure perception, allowing yourself to be in the moment without being attached to what is happening.
Stage 4 (15 minutes)
Move into a state of complete stillness by lying on your back with your eyes closed. It is also important here to remain in stillness and silence. Become deeper within yourself, feeling each inhale and exhale. This stage allows you to go deep into a state of inner stillness and harmony, clearing the mind and allowing the body and mind to relax and recover.
Useful tips
Kundalini meditation is not just a technique, it is a path to inner awakening, to discovering the sources of energy that are hidden in the depths of our consciousness. It requires complete openness, relaxation and a willingness to let the process happen without resisting or trying to control it.
If you practice Kundalini meditation, allow the energy to come to you without trying to force it. When the shaking comes, don't resist it. Feel your body begin to shake slightly and allow that shaking to spread, supporting it but not trying to initiate it by willful effort. It's not an effort, it's happening, and it's important to enjoy the process. When you accept the shaking, it is not just a physical movement, it is an inner transformation, an energy that frees you from old blocks, frees you from inner tensions.
If you start forcing the shaking, it becomes a physical exercise. You will experience superficial vibrations, but you will not feel deep liberation. Your body will remain stiff and stone-like, and no energy will flow in. In these moments you become the doer, the one who controls the process rather than the one who simply allows things to happen.
When I say ‘shake,’ I mean that your stone-like being must be ‘shaken’ to its very core in order for it to become fluid and mobile. This is the process of releasing your inner rigidity and resistance. When your solid structure becomes soft and pliable, then your body will begin to follow that movement. The shaking happens on its own - you don't control it, you allow it to be.
Kundalini meditation, like other similar practices such as Nadabrahma or Chaotic Meditation, is not really meditation in the usual sense of the word. It is not a goal in itself, but a preparation. It is like tuning musical instruments. Imagine musicians who spend half an hour or even an hour tuning their instruments, testing the strings, the drums, creating the right resonance and harmony. It's not the music itself, it's the tuning. Kundalini is a preparation, a process of tuning your body and mind to be ready for deep perception and a state of meditation.
When you are ‘tuned in,’ when you are cleansed, then you can stand in silence. True meditation begins with this state of inner readiness. Everything you have done before - jumping, dancing, shouting - all this was necessary to make you more aware, more alert. And when that alertness comes, the waiting begins. Waiting with full awareness. And there it is - the meditative state.
Waiting is what meditation is. It is being consciously in the moment, it is the ability to be open to what comes. It is an energy that descends upon you, surrounds you, dances around you, purifies and transforms you. It fills you effortlessly, without struggle, only with complete acceptance of what is happening. In this state you become part of something greater, you awaken and reconnect with the universal energy.
