eBook Description:  This book is perhaps the best introduction to meditation on the market. It takes meditation out the area of religion and puts it right at the center of a science of the inner, exactly where it belongs. For the intelligent individual who doesn't want to be burdened with yet another belief system, this is their book. The book offers 63 step-by-step guides to both ancient and modern techniques. From ancient Buddhist, Taoist, Sufi and Hindu practices to Osho's own Active Meditations like the Dynamic Meditation and Mystic Rose Meditation. So many books on meditation seem so serious, or one-dimensional, pitching a specific point of view or practice that feels like it was designed for saints who don't need meditation in the first place. This one even tells you how to turn smoking into a meditation! A book for real people with real lives, who want to bring more harmony and balance to themselves and their relationships with others.

"Osho advocates meditation for everyone, but his technique is revolutionary, beginning not with stillness and silence but with intense activity to release pent-up energy and emotions, leading to a state of calmness in which meditation can flourish."--Washington Post
"Meditation is indigenous to all religions, and this book offers 63 step-by-step guides to both ancient and modern techniques. From ancient Buddhist, Taoist, Sufi and Hindu practices to Osho's own modern Dynamic Meditation and Mystic Rose Meditation, these methods will help any spiritual seeker further along the path to fulfillment."--Ingram
The heart of peacefulness Shiva said: In any easy position gradually pervade an area between the armpits into great peace.
A very simple method but it works miraculously?try it. And anyone can try it, there is no danger. In an easy position: the first thing is to be in a relaxed position?easy, whatsoever is easy for you. So don't try some particular position or asana. Buddha sits in a particular posture. It is easy for him. It can also become easy for you if you practice it for a time, but in the very beginning it will not be easy for you. And there is no need to practice it: start from any posture that comes easy to you right now. Don't struggle with posture. You can sit in an easy chair and relax. The only thing is your body must be in a relaxed state. Just close your eyes and feel all over the body. Start from the legs feeling whether there is some tension. If you feel somewhere there is some tension, do one thing: make it more tense. If you feel that in the leg, in the right leg, there is tension, then make that tension as intense as possible. Bring it to a peak and then suddenly relax so that you can feel how relaxation settles there. Then go all over the body just finding if there is some tension somewhere. Wherever you feel the tension make it more, because it is easy to relax it when it is intense. In just a mid-state it is very difficult because you cannot feel it. It is easy to move from one extreme to another, very easy, because the very extreme creates the situation to move to the other. So if you feel some tension in the face then strain all the face muscles as much as possible, create tension and bring it to a peak. Bring it to a point where you feel that now no more is possible?then suddenly relax. So see that all parts of the body, all the limbs, are relaxed. Be particular about the face muscles, because they carry ninety per cent of the tensions?the rest of the body carries only ten per cent?because all your tensions are in the mind and the face becomes the storage. So strain your face as much as possible, don't be shy about it. Intensely make it in anguish, anxiety?and then suddenly relax. Do it for five minutes so you can feel now the whole body, every limb, is relaxed.
