Gourishankar Meditation
One of the meditations that happens on Sunday
LOCATION:  71 Barrow Street, #2, New York, NY

"You don't have many energies, you have only one energy. But that energy is invested in fear, anger, greed, jealousy. This same energy, once you are alert, centered in yourself, turns into blissfulness, into ecstasy, into gratitude, into love. And a strange thing, which no religion has ever talked about: every fiber of your being becomes prayerful -- wordless, not addressed to any phony god. Simply out of gratitude arises the prayer towards this beautiful existence. Except for this existence, you don't have any sacred place. This is the only holy, sacred temple." ~ Osho

This meditation has four stages as described below

  • First Stage - 15 minutes:
    Sit with closed eyes. Inhale deeply through the nose, filling the lungs. Hold the breath for as long as possible; then exhale gently through the mouth, and keep the lungs empty for as long as possible. Continue this breathing cycle throughout this stage.


  • Second Stage - 15 minutes:
    Return to normal breathing and with a gentle gaze look at a candle flame or a flashing blue light. Keep your body still.


  • Third Stage - 15 minutes:
    With closed eyes, stand up and let your body be loose and receptive. Allow your body to move gently in whichever way it wants. Don't do the moving, just allow it to happen gently and gracefully.


  • Fouth Stage - 15 minutes:
    Lie down with closed eyes, silent and still.
