How can one relax while keeping the body frozen during the fourth step of morning meditation?

Beloved Osho, in the fourth step of the morning meditation, in the effort to keep the body frozen or dead, one tends to become tense. As this is the step of relaxation and total let-go, how is one to relax and also be frozen at the same time? Rather than ecstasy, it becomes a tension.

One thing more. In the second step, when you are expressing all the suppressed emotions, when you are going completely mad in catharsis, do one thing emphatically: contract your facial muscles and relax. Contract and relax. Your body is not as tense as your face is because your face is the focal point of all suppression. And your face is the most expressive; that is why the face becomes the most suppressive. It is through your face that you express or suppress. In the second step, go on expressing through the whole body, but remember also to make the face tense and relaxed, tense and relaxed. In that way, much suppressed emotion will be released more easily. Relaxation is not something to be done, really; you cannot DO it. No one can do it because relaxation is against doing. You can simply stop doing and relaxation happens. So when I…

(Osho remains silent for a few minutes, then begins to offer suggestions.)

Keep looking within... keep looking within... let everything outside become dead. Let it go... utterly dead... remain just watching... remain only the witness... drop everything... as if you have died... as if everything outside has died—the body too... thoughts too... only an inner flame remains, watching. Only the seer remains, only the witness remains. Let go... let go... let go completely... (Silence… solitude… hush…) Whatever happens, let it happen... let go completely... keep only looking within and let go completely... drop every grip... (Silence… solitude… hush…) The mind has become quiet and empty... the mind has become utterly empty... the mind has become quiet and empty... the mind has become utterly empty... the mind has become utterly empty... If there is even a slight holding, drop that too... let go completely... dissolve... as if you are not. The mind has become empty... the mind quiet and empty... the mind has…

The song continues:

DO NOUGHT WITH THE BODY BUT RELAX; SHUT FIRM THE MOUTH AND SILENT REMAIN; EMPTY YOUR MIND AND THINK OF NOUGHT. LIKE A HOLLOW BAMBOO REST AT EASE WITH YOUR BODY. GIVING NOT NOR TAKING, PUT YOUR MIND AT REST. MAHAMUDRA IS LIKE A MIND THAT CLINGS TO NOUGHT. THUS PRACTICING, IN TIME YOU WILL REACH BUDDHAHOOD. A lunatic is a person whose whole world is confined in himself. He is the talker and he is the listener; he is the actor and he is the spectator -- he is all, his whole world is confined in himself. He has divided himself in many parts and everything has become fragmentary. That's why people are afraid of silence -- they know they may crack up. And if you are afraid of silence that means you have an obsessive, feverish, diseased mind inside, which is continuously asking to be active. Activity is…

Osho, One thing I cannot understand: the way you sit, you remain exactly like that for a full two hours. No part of your body moves, only one hand moves. And we cannot sit quietly even for five minutes.

Amrit Krishna! Even that one hand has to move because of you—because of your restlessness. Otherwise there would be no need to move it either. If you were to sit silently, that hand would not move. When your mind is restless, its reflection falls on the body as well. Your body conforms to your mind; it is its shadow. Ananda asked Buddha: The way you lie down to sleep, you remain in that very posture the whole night! For many nights Ananda sat and watched—how can this be? Naturally, he was curious. He said: I examined you in every way. However you lie down, whichever leg you place over the other, it stays there all night. Do you really sleep, or even in the night are you keeping account so that the foot remains where it is and does not change? You never turn sides! Buddha said: Ananda, when the…

Why are we normally not able to feel disidentified with the body?

You are totally identified with your body because normally there is no gap between you and your body. What you are doing, your body is doing, and vice versa. You and the doings of your body are identified as one and the same. But when the body takes its own course, it becomes an automaton. Things begin to happen which you had never planned, which you never thought possible. "Am I doing this? Am I feeling this?" And you know that you are not doing it. You did not will it but still the dance goes on -- and vigorously, too. Then there is a gap. The gap between the doer and the doing is there: you are not doing it. Now the body has become an automaton. Consciousness cannot identify itself with an automaton. You cannot identify yourself with a machine unless the machine works according to your will.…
