"Breathe deeply and naturally, and simply watch the rise and fall of your navel; in this effortless witness, you will find the doorway to peace and inner emptiness."
According to Osho, sit with the spine erect yet relaxed—like a cloth hung on a peg—so gravity is even and the body doesn’t interfere. Breathe slow, deep, natural belly breaths; let the navel rise and fall. Simply watch this movement without concentrating—be a witness. Keep breathing rhythmically and effortlessly, as children do. This simple watchfulness settles the mind, deepens peace, and opens inner emptiness.
Sit up straight, relax, let your belly gently rise and fall as you breathe, and just notice each breath without trying to control it.
