Do all gases in the air support meditation?

“

Breathe deeply and intensely, for every element in the air supports life and meditation; in this natural rhythm, you will find vitality and balance.

Core Insight:
According to Osho, yes—everything present in Earth’s air, not just oxygen, supports life and therefore supports meditation when in its natural proportions. There is no need to worry about specific gases. Breathe more intensely and deeply: oxygen will be absorbed, the rest released. Natural breathing in this way fosters vitality, balance, and a felt lightness conducive to meditation.
Don’t worry about the air—just breathe deeply; your body takes what it needs and lets go of the rest, helping you feel light and calm for meditation.
Why this matters practically
- Reduces needless worry so attention can rest on awareness.
- Encourages deep, conscious breathing that energizes and calms.
- Trusts the body’s intelligence to balance intake and release.
