"Embrace your sexual fantasies during meditation, for they are a natural expression of life-energy; allow this energy to flow, transforming it from sexuality into love and ultimately into the silence of samadhi."
According to Osho, sexual fantasies arising in meditation are natural and even auspicious: they show your life-energy has been stirred where it presently resides. Sex is as sacred as samadhi; the lower and higher are one continuum. Don’t feel guilty or repress it—allow the energy to flow. With acceptance, that same energy gradually moves from sexuality toward love, silence, and ultimately samadhi.
If sexual thoughts come up while meditating, relax—your energy is waking up, and if you don’t fight it, it will grow into something higher.
Why this matters practically
- Reduces shame and struggle so you can meditate with ease.
- Prevents repression, allowing energy to evolve into clarity and compassion.
- Turns a distraction into a signpost of growth rather than a problem.
