What happens when I experience a childlike feeling in meditation?

In meditation, a childlike feeling signifies your return to innocence, where joy and wisdom coexist, marking the beginning of your homecoming to the essence of your being. Embrace this rebirth, for it unveils the true companion within.

— Osho
According to Osho, a childlike feeling in meditation means you’ve entered the “second childhood”: regained innocence without ignorance, mature, centered, and ripe. It is the very meaning of meditation and the beginning of the homecoming to your essential being—joyful, unburdened, and wise. Celebrate it, deepen it; this rebirth reveals the companion within.

Feeling like a kid in meditation means you’re rediscovering your pure, wise self—enjoy it and keep going deeper.
