Instructions for Osho Chakra Sounds Meditation
Stage 1 – 45 minutes
Stand, sit comfortably, or lie down if you prefer. Keep your back straight and your
body loose. Breathe into your belly rather than your chest. The sounds should be
made with your mouth open and your jaw loose, keeping your mouth open the whole
time. Close your eyes and listen to the music; if you wish, start making sounds in the
first chakra. You can make a single tone or you can vary the tone. Let the music
guide you; however, you can be creative with your own sounds. While listening to the
sound of the music or the sounds that you make, feel the sounds pulsating in the very
center of your chakra, even if it seems to be imagination at first. Osho has suggested
that we can use the imagination in "becoming attuned to something that is already
there". So keep doing the meditation even if it feels like you may be imagining the
chakras. With awareness your imagination can lead you to an experience of the inner
vibrations of each center. After making sounds in the first chakra, you will hear the
tones change to a higher pitch - this is the indication to listen and feel sounds in the
second chakra. If you wish, you can continue making sounds also. This process is
repeated all the way up to the seventh chakra.
As you move from chakra to chakra, let your sounds become higher in pitch. After
listening to and making sounds in the seventh chakra, the tones will descend one at a
time down through all the chakras. As you hear the tones go down, listen and make
sounds in each chakra. Feel the inside of your body becoming hollow like a bamboo
flute, allowing the sounds to resonate from the top of your head down to the very
base of your trunk. At the end of the sequence, you will hear a pause before the next
sequence starts. This upward and downward movement of sound will be repeated
three times for a total of approximately 45 minutes.
After you have become familiar with the meditation, you can add another dimension to
it through visualization. Be open to allowing visual images to appear in your
imagination as you focus on each chakra. There is no need to create images, just be
receptive to any which may come. The images could be colors, patterns or scenes of
nature. What comes to your awareness may be visual, or it may be more natural for
you to have a thought rather than a visual image. For example, you may think "gold"
or you may see color in your imagination.
Stage 2 – 15 minutes (Silent)
After the last sound sequence, remain sitting or lying down in silence with closed
eyes. Remain in silence and don't focus on anything in particular. Allow yourself to
become aware of and watch whatever is happening within. Be relaxed and remain a
witness, not judging it.
