"When the unconscious emerges, do nothing but watch; in the presence of awareness, thoughts and emotions dissolve like smoke into the sky."
According to Osho, when unconscious material surfaces during relaxation, do absolutely nothing—just remain a detached witness. Any attempt to act or interfere mixes you up with it. Through simple, aloof watching, the arising thoughts, emotions, and images lose energy and slowly disappear, like smoke dissolving into the sky; awareness itself is the only needed remedy.
When mind-stuff pops up while relaxing, don’t touch it—just watch, and it fades away on its own.
