"Meditation is not a clinical technique; it is an existential participation that transforms the whole being beyond the labels of specific illness."
According to Osho, meditation is not a clinical technique tailored to diagnostic labels; it is an existential participation. A detached, scientific approach only grasps the periphery—never the living core that heals. One must become a meditator, not a spectator. When you participate totally (through meditation, music, therapeutic situations), transformation addresses the whole being, and the right process reveals itself beyond categories of 'specific illness.'
Don’t search for a special trick for each illness—jump into meditation yourself, and inner change will guide the healing.
