Let Yourself Become Weightless

When on a bed or a seat, let yourself become weightless, beyond mind. This simple, solitary Tantra method comes from the stream of the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra, where Shiva points directly to a shift of identity—from the body that has weight to the consciousness that is weightless. Osho’s guidance here is practical and intimate: you need no partner, no ritual, and no special setting—only privacy and a willingness to feel your way out of the hypnosis "I am the body." The practice is inconspicuous and can be done anywhere suitable: on a bed, on a chair, or sitting directly on the earth.

The purpose is to dehypnotize the felt sense of heaviness and to taste your nature as light, unbounded awareness. You begin by deliberately feeling weightlessness, again and again, even as pockets of heaviness appear. Persist, and a moment arrives when the body’s weight is no longer yours; mind grows quiet—mind itself is a kind of weight—and you remain as transparent presence. For those who wish to refine the posture, Osho notes that sitting on the ground in siddhasan (the classic Buddha posture), ideally close to nature and with minimal clothing, best minimizes the body’s contact with gravity, making the shift easier. Yet the essence is not posture: it is the continuous, gentle insistence on the felt reality of weightlessness until the distinction between body and awareness loosens and you slip beyond mind.
