Osho's active meditations are optimally suited to our modern world. If you're having trouble sitting in stillness and are plagued by anxiety and endless spinning thoughts, then you might want to give it a try. We will tell you more about this form of practice and introduce you to two well-known Osho meditations.
Most people think of sitting still on a cushion when they hear the word meditation. Anyone who has tried this knows that it is not always easy.

Only then does a phase of silence and classic meditation follow. Experience shows that meditation beginners in particular find it a little easier to get into practice. Experienced practitioners usually know when silent meditation is good for them and when they need to "shake something off" first.
