Born Again is a meditative therapy created by Osho to help you rediscover the innocence, immediacy, and playfulness of childhood. Each session is two hours: the first hour is an open field of spontaneous, childlike expression; the second hour is pure, effortless silence. Over seven days, this rhythm loosens the armor of seriousness, unlearns conditioned behaviors, and re-tunes you to the living current of existence.

The method is simple yet radical. In the first hour you drop time, past and future, and become total in whatever arises—laughter, tears, dancing, jumping, singing, even a quick flare of anger that passes like a cloud. Nothing is carried over; nothing is performed for a reason. In the second hour you sit silently, doing nothing, allowing the stirred energies to settle into clarity and ease. This playful passage from unrestrained vitality to unforced stillness invites a fresh, childlike seeing of the world and a deep taste of being.
