Ask Osho!

How does one enter a trance and become thoughtless?

Synthesized from Source practice

"Trance arises naturally when your attention is completely absorbed in a single point; it is not about suppressing thoughts, but about surrendering to total concentration."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, nothing extra is required—entering trance arises from total, one-pointed concentration on the chosen object or act. When attention becomes complete, thought subsides and trance happens by itself. The key is undivided focus, not effortful suppression of mind: simply keep concentrating until your awareness is wholly absorbed, and the shift occurs.
Just put all your attention on one thing until it fills you completely, and thoughts fall away on their own.
Why this matters practically
- Gives a clear, simple doorway into meditation without complex techniques.
- Reduces mental noise, increasing calm, clarity, and presence.
- Can be practiced during ordinary activities—breathing, walking, listening.
