Osho’s Kundalini Meditation is a one-hour, four-stage method that moves from cathartic movement into profound stillness. The first three stages unfold with specially composed music created under Osho’s direct guidance; the final stage is in silence, ending with a gong. True to Osho’s approach, the key is effortless allowance: “Allow the shaking; don’t do it.” When the body is permitted to move on its own, energy rises naturally from the feet upward, tension melts, and the inner witness awakens.
Often practiced in the late afternoon to release the day’s accumulated stress, this meditation begins with shaking, blossoms into free dancing, and settles into quiet witnessing before coming to rest in complete silence while lying down. It is a journey from doing to being—letting go of control, letting the body express, and finally sinking into stillness where the meditator can simply watch, without interference, until the concluding gong.
