Core Insight:
According to Osho, breath is the bridge between body and soul, and intense, rapid breathing supplies the “blow” that awakens kundalini at its root. Coupled with the inner arrow of “Who am I?”—which turns energy toward the soul—the rising force is guided upward, piercing the chakras and culminating in samadhi. Slow breath cools desires; strong breath plus inquiry accelerates ascent. Breath provides power; inquiry provides direction.
