In the constant hum of our minds, thoughts, emotions, and sensations often dominate our experience, creating a sense of separation from our true selves. OSHO No-Dimensions Meditation offers a pathway to transcend this mental chatter and experience the stillness and emptiness that lies beyond. This technique isn’t about suppressing thoughts; it’s about witnessing them with detached awareness, ultimately realizing that you are not your thoughts, but the space in which they arise and disappear. It’s a journey into the realm of pure consciousness, where you can discover your true, dimension-less nature.
The Three Stages to No-Dimensions
OSHO No-Dimensions Meditation typically involves three stages, guiding you from focused attention to a state of pure awareness:
- Stage 1: Centering (flexible duration, typically 10-15 minutes): Begin by sitting comfortably, either in a chair or on the floor, with your spine straight and your eyes closed. Bring your attention to your breath, noticing the natural rhythm of inhalation and exhalation. Feel the gentle rise and fall of your chest or abdomen. This stage is about anchoring yourself in the present moment, calming the mind, and preparing for the deeper exploration to come. You can also use a simple mantra or focus on a point of light to help center yourself.
- Stage 2: Letting Go (flexible duration, typically 20-30 minutes): As you become more centered, begin to let go of your identification with thoughts, feelings, and sensations. Observe them as they arise, but don’t get caught up in their stories. Imagine them as clouds passing in the sky – you are the sky, not the clouds. Simply witness them without judgment, allowing them to come and go freely. This stage requires a gentle detachment, a willingness to observe without reacting. It’s not about suppressing or fighting thoughts; it’s about recognizing their transient nature.
- Stage 3: Emptiness (flexible duration, typically 15-20 minutes or longer): As you continue to let go, you may begin to experience moments of stillness, gaps between thoughts. These moments are glimpses into the dimension-less realm of pure awareness. Rest in these spaces, allowing yourself to simply be, without any striving or doing. This stage is not about achieving anything; it’s about recognizing what is already present – the silent, empty background of all experience. It’s a state of deep peace and profound connection with your true self.
