"In deep relaxation, you dissolve into nothingness and become a vast empty space, paradoxically full of peace and profound contentment. Honor your unique experience, for it is in this stillness that true fulfillment resides."
According to Osho, deep relaxation is a dissolving into nothingness—what Buddha called nirvana—where the separate 'somebody' drops and you become vast empty space that is paradoxically full: peace, silence, and profound contentment. Don’t compare this with others’ experiences of love or ecstasy; honor and deepen what is happening to you. As relaxation deepens, other qualities may appear, but the essential fragrance is contentment with yourself and existence.
When you relax very deeply, your ‘me’ gets quiet like open space, and you feel peaceful and okay inside—so just enjoy that calm instead of chasing other feelings.
