Osho's Guided Gibberish Meditation

Ignorence to Innocence


Over the centuries - since the time of Patanjali - the world has changed significantly. If modern man were to just sit down to meditate, he would find a very uncooperative & unruly chaos ongoing within his own mind. In prior ages, man was tasked to do more physical, manual labor. More people back then worked the land as farmers, they did much of the work that machines do in today's world. Especially with the computer age, man has moved into the dimension of the intellect. He lives a life that involves less physical activity, and has moved into the dimension of more mental activity.

As as a consequence, man has moved into a condition whereby there is an ongoing process that involves way too much thinking. It has become a deep-seated habit. So much so, that if modern man were to just sit down & try to meditate, he would be shocked at how chaotically insane his mind has become.

As a result, Osho has come to develop methods of meditation that include an initial cathartic therapy to dispel the ongoing inner chaos within & allows the individual to access the inner space of peaceful silence that is found there.

Osho Gibberish Meditation is a method of release using sound and body movement. Gibberish has been described by Osho as “one of the most scientific ways to clean the mind.” It is followed by a guided relaxation into a state of complete relaxed let-go.

After the ~30 minutes of making nonsensical gibberish sounds, there follows a drum beat which is the signal for one to witness the inner silence that can then be more easily accessible. At this time, Osho gives verbal guidance that takes one even deeper into the depths of their own inner being.

After a time, there comes another drum beat that is the signal for one to lie down and become the watcher of the body-mind mechanism. This will help one to become more dis-identified with body & mind, and become more identified with being the witnessing consciousness. The final drum is the signal to come back to a meditative sitting position, while Osho finishes with his guidance.

Enjoy it. Experiencing one's inner being of silence is tremendously blissful, peaceful and brings a youthful freshness that has been long lost living in today's technocratic world.
