Meditation The First and Last Freedom

editation: The First and Last Freedom is a practical guide to meditation based on teachings and methods associated with Osho. Its central idea is that meditation is not a religious duty or an activity confined to silent sitting; it is an ongoing practice of awareness—being attentive to inner thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and the world around us. The book presents meditation as something that can accompany daily life, including work, movement, rest, and relationships. The guide offers step-by-step instructions for numerous practices, including stillness-based observation methods and Osho’s more physically active techniques. These “Active Meditations” use stages of breathing, movement, shaking, dancing, vocal expression, or physical release before a period of quiet observation. Among the best-known are Osho Dynamic Meditation and Osho Kundalini Meditation, designed for people who find it difficult to begin by sitting silently. The book also addresses common obstacles, such as a restless mind, expectations, fear, emotional tension, and the urge to judge one’s experience.
