Dance: The Most Total Act On Earth
Dance: The Most Total Act on EarthWhy do your meditations always seem to include dancing?“First you have to learn how to dance, and you have to put all your energies intodancing. And one day that strange experience happens when suddenly the dancerdisappears in the dance and the dance happens without any effort. Then it isinaction. First you have to learn action to go into inaction. That’s what meditation isall about.“People come and ask me why I teach active meditations. Because that is the onlyway to find inaction: dance to the uttermost, dance in a frenzy, dance madly. And ifyour whole energy is involved in it, a moment comes when suddenly you see thedance is happening on its own, there is no effort in it, it is action without action.”Osho, The Secret of Secrets, Talk #1“I have invariably included dance in my methods of meditation, because there isnothing more miraculous for meditation than dancing. If you dance fully, if you
dance totally, then in that dance your being comes out of the body. The body will goon moving in rhythm but you will experience that you are out of the body. And thenyour real dance begins: below, the body will go on dancing; above, you will dance.The body on the earth, you in the sky. The body in the earthly, you in the celestial.The body will dance the dance of matter, you will dance the dance ofconsciousness.”Osho, Enlightenment: The Only Revolution, Talk #8“My insistence is always on a dancing meditation. It is not only an outward dance.The outward is nothing but a training for the inner. You dance outwardly, you go ondancing outwardly. By and by an inner dance arises and then you can dance inwardlyand move towards the innermost center, the very core of being.”Osho, Absolute Tao, Talk #7“Only in dance do you start falling with the heartbeat of the whole. Only in dancedoes the moment of grace arrive when you are not and the whole is. Only in dancedoes the separation between the mind and the body disappear. And you are onewhole, one piece, all together, no more fragmentary.”Osho, The Perfect Master, Vol. 2, Talk #5“There is nothing better than dance for dropping the ego; hence I insist that allmeditators should dance. Because if you go really in a whirlwind, if you are really awhirling pool of energy, if you really are in the dance, the dancer is lost.”Osho, The Discipline of Transcendence, Vol. 2, Talk #8I have heard you say that life is a dance.“In many meanings life is a dance. First, life is not constituted of matter but ofenergy. And energy is never static: it is always dancing. Now the physicists also saythat there is no rest in the world, nothing like rest exists. Everything is moving,dancing. A tremendous dance is on. The electrons are dancing, the neutrons aredancing, and from those invisible electrons up to the greatest star, there iscontinuous dance. Only man has forgotten how to dance. Trees are dancing in thebreeze, the birds and the animals are dancing. Only man has forgotten how to
dance, and by forgetting the language of dance, man has forgotten the language ofreligiousness. Dance is the basic language of religiousness.”Osho, The Buddha Disease, Talk #16I often feel uncomfortable and self-conscious about dancing.“Sometimes it happens that the meditation you feel most uncomfortable withmaybe is the one that is going to help. The discomfort may be because it fightsagainst certain of your habits and deep-rooted things. This is my observation: thatthe meditation you like is not always the best, and the one you dislike most is notnecessarily the worst, because you like something that fits with your mind.”Osho, Hammer on the Rock, Talk #8“We are afraid of the body, so we don’t allow it to be really alive. We have made ithalf-dead. If it is half-dead, it is controllable. If it is totally alive, it is not controllable.“We are afraid of it. The mind is always afraid. And afraid of only one thing: what willhappen if the mind is not in control? The mind can control only a dead body or ahalf-dead body. If the body is fully alive, the mind becomes afraid. The energy is somuch that the mind is thrown off.”Osho, The New Alchemy: To Turn You On, Talk #18So, is dancing a better place to start to experience meditation than just sitting?“The foundation of meditation involves only your periphery, and the periphery ofyour personality is the body. Hence the periphery of meditation involves only thebody. So the first step towards meditation begins with your body.”Osho, The Path of Meditation, Talk #2“Sitting in a buddha posture is the last thing to do really; it should never be done inthe beginning. Only after you have begun to feel identified totally with movementcan you begin to feel totally identified with non-movement.“So I never tell people to begin with just sitting. Begin from where beginning is easy,otherwise you will begin to feel many things unnecessarily – things that are notthere.
“If you begin with sitting, you will feel much disturbance inside. The more you try tojust sit, the more disturbance will be felt; you will become aware only of your insanemind and nothing else. It will create depression, you will feel frustrated. You will notfeel blissful; rather, you will begin to feel that you are insane. And sometimes youmay really go insane.“If you make a sincere effort to ‘just sit,’ you may really go insane.”Osho, Meditation: The Art of Ecstasy, Talk #5“When your body has become active, dynamic, a movement, suddenly you becomeaware of a point which is still, absolutely still – the unmoving center of the wholemoving world. That is effortless. No effort is made for it. No effort is needed, it issimply revealed. Effort on the part of the periphery, no effort on the part of thecenter. Movement on the periphery, stillness at the center. Activity on theperiphery, absolute inactivity at the center.”Osho, My Way: The Way of the White Clouds, Talk #4“If you give your body joy, then the shadow of your bliss will fall onto the heart thatlies behind the body. Gradually, it will also become blissful, it will also begin to sway.When the heart sways, its shadow will fall onto your soul that is hidden behind theheart, and then the soul too will sway, the soul too will dance.”Osho, The Last Morning Star, Talk #8P.S. And if you really dance totally on a regular basis you might be also interested toknow that it may slow brain aging by ten years!OSHO 2016 OSHO InternationalCopyright & Trademark Information
OSHO International Meditation Resort ImpressionsMy name is Prem Jharna and althoughoriginally from Colombia I live in Toronto,Canada.I am participating in the Work as MeditationLiving In Program at the OSHO InternationalMeditation Resort, working as a Spanishtranslator. To support this meditative lifestyle, the meditation team designed a 3-dayOSHO Meditation Intensive, to whichworkers were also invited outside theirworking hours. We also received techniquesevery day to remind us to be more aware,more present, and more alert, especially while working.Meditation is the essence of this place. In the OSHO Auditorium the day starts at 6am with OSHO Dynamic Meditation and ends with a beautiful night meditation at9.30 pm, usually in Chuang Tzu, amounting to ten meditations a day. People canparticipate in as many meditations as they want to.Something was opening, flowering inside, expanding. I felt more energetic. The bodywas not as heavy as it had been before, it became light. It was a unique experiencewhich proved that it is never too late to start anything, to jump into the unknown, totake the risk. Now, after this powerful experience, I feel more alert, more aware inwhatever I do. I would recommend everybody to participate in this program becauseit helps drop the old luggage and grow vertically, which means growing up instead ofgrowing old.OSHO 2016 OSHO InternationalCopyright & Trademark Information
