Ask Osho!

How can I alleviate muscle pain during active meditation?

Synthesized from Source practice

"Embrace the initial ache of active meditation, for it is the release of repressed emotions; allow it to flow, and you will find your body regaining its grace."

According to Osho, keep going; the initial ache is natural because active meditation is vigorous—within three or four days your body attunes and feels stronger. More deeply, pain surfaces as repressed emotions and ‘poisons’ stored in muscles begin to release. Don’t suppress; allow total expression and catharsis so energy can flow. With continued, wholehearted practice, tensions dissolve and the body regains grace.
Stick with it for a few days and let your feelings move; the soreness fades as trapped tension leaves your body.
Why this matters practically
- Builds resilience as the body adapts to vigorous practice.
- Releases suppressed emotions and chronic muscular tension.
- Restores natural energy flow, leading to ease and vitality.
