Ask Osho!

Should the breath be deep or fast?

Synthesized from Source practice

"Breathe fast and forcefully to awaken the dormant energy within; let depth come naturally as you create the shock needed for transformation."

According to Osho, don’t worry about breathing deep; prioritize intensity and speed. Breathe as fast and forcefully as you can so the impact hammers the dormant Kundalini and rouses sleeping energy. Let depth happen on its own if it comes; keep your attention on maintaining vigorous, rapid breathing to create the necessary shock and momentum for awakening.
Breathe fast and strong, not deep—let depth come by itself.
Why this matters practically
- Quick, forceful breathing jolts dormant energy and catalyzes awakening.
- Focusing on speed prevents overthinking and keeps attention vivid.
- Intensity breaks mental inertia, making meditation more impactful.
