outcome
"Let meditation explode you inwardly, not your waistline; balance your stillness with movement and mindful eating."
According to Osho, weight gain isn’t caused by meditation itself but by sitting more, eating the same or more, and reduced sexual activity (hence less exercise). Don’t worry about words or ego; keep your balance: either move (walk, exercise) or cut calories/meals—like Buddha’s one-meal rule and alternating walking-meditation. Ultimately, let meditation explode you inwardly, not your waistline.
Meditation doesn’t make you fat; sitting and eating do—so relax, ignore insults, and balance stillness with walking or less food.
Why this matters practically
- Aligns lifestyle with practice: add walking/exercise or reduce meals.
- Prevents guilt about body changes so awareness stays central.
- Builds resilience: don’t let small remarks disturb your peace.
