A RELAXED STILLNESS ( OSHO)
The modern mind is feeling very alienated from god for a simple reason-that never before in history was man in such a hurry as modern man is. Never was man so impatient as modern man is, & that is the barrier: modern man has forgotten how to wait. He wants things instantly, he wants them now. He cannot wait for the spring to come. He cannot wait for the seed to die and grow and become a tree. He has lost all patience.
The is one of the characteristics of the modern man: he has no patience in his heart, and that is making him very ill. Constantly running, rushing and reaching nowhere, because all that the inner soul desires needs waiting, needs time, needs a relaxed stillness-no hurry, no speed, because we are not going anywhere. We are just to be still and silent,herenow,and god comes.

NOTHING TO WORRY-(osho)
When you were not born,was there any anxiety,any worry,any angst ?
You were not there, there was no problem.You are the problem, the
begining of the problem & then as you grow more & more problems.
Zen masters continously ask the new commers, where have you been
before your father was born ? They are asking you, if you were not,
there was no problem, what is the worry ?

OSHO'S MEDITATION TECHNIQUE TO DE-STRESS YOURSELF
This is a 60 minutes meditation,for 40 minutes just become negative as negative as you can. close the doors, put pillows around the room, unhook the phone, and tell everybody that you are not to be disturbed for one hour. put a notice on the door saying that for one hour you should be left
totally alone. make light as dim as possible, put on some gloomy music and feel dead. Sit there and feel negative repeat no as mantra.
Imagine scenes of the past when you were very very dull & you wanted to commit sucide & there was no zest of life & exaggerate them. Create the whole situation around you. your mind will distract you. it will say what are you doing? the night is so beautiful & the moon is full. Dont listen to the mind. Tell it that it can come later on but this time you are devoting completely to the negativity. Be religiously negative, cry weep, shout, scream, swear. Whatsoever you feel like but remember one thing, dont become happy.
Dont allow any happiness.If you catch yourself, immediately bring yourself to negativity & start beating the pillows, fighting, with them, jumping.Be nasty.
And you will find it very very difficult to be negative for forty minutes.
This is one of the basic laws of the mind whatsoever you do consciously you can not do, but do it & when you do it consciously, you will feel a separation.You are doing it but still you are a witness. you are not lost in it. A distance arises & that distance is tremendously beautiful. But i am not saying to create that distance. That is a by product you need not worry about it. After forty minutes suddenly jump out of the negativity.
Throw the pillows away, put on the lights, put on some beautiful music & have a dance for twenty minutes. Just say yes. yes.yes let it be your mantra. And then take agood shower. It will uproot all the negativity & it will give you a glimpse of saying yes.
