Osho Gibberish Meditation Technique
Gibberish is an cathartic meditation technique devised by Osho. The Gibberish meditation was originally devised by Mystic Jabbar, who used to talk any nonsense word whenever people use to ask questions from him. Gibberish meditation can be done either alone or in a group. It is a powerful meditation method to throw out the emotions and silence the mind for a while. In the silence space created by this meditation, witnessing becomes much easier and spontaneous.
Osho has made use of Gibberish technique very much and it is an essential part of no mind meditative therapy. In Osho white robe brotherhood too, The Gibberish meditation is practiced.
It is one of the easiest technique which can be easily practiced by a person of any age group, mind set or religion. I feel, if we want to introduce meditation to new person, then this Gibberish meditation could be very useful and it is specially useful for elderly people who can not do active meditations like dynamic, kundalini.
Gibberish Meditation Method:
Gibberish meditation is done with closed eyes. The technique is very
simple but very effective. The meditator has to say any nonsense words
with out caring about their meaning. Any thing non-sense which does not
have any meaning for the MIND is Gibberish. Its like the talk of a small
children who is learning to speak and they keep on making non-sense
sounds.
One important thing is that we have to speak in the
language which we do not know. So, if some one know Spanish then one
should not speak in Spanish but in an imaginative language. Speak any
thing, any blah blah. Don't frame any meaningful sentence.
We are speaking in the Language which we do not know because mind has
the tendency to verbalize any thing. Mind lives in language and this
meditation method tries to break this verbalizing mechanism of the mind.
When we practice this meditation then soon the mind starts losing its
grip over us and it become silent for a while.
In Gibberish meditation we are also not aware of the content,
which we are speaking. Gibberish means we ourself also don't know what
we are speaking. It is totally meaningless to us. The mind thinks,
always, in terms of words. Gibberish helps to break up this pattern of
continual verbalization. Without suppressing your thoughts, you can
throw them out – in gibberish. One can make weird sounds also. Allow
yourself to express whatever needs to be expressed within you. Throw
everything out.
One can practice this gibberish for 15 to 20 minutes or more. But be
total in the expression and bring out everything. Let your body likewise
be expressive. Body movements helps a lot in bringing out the suppressed
energy. Some times there is suppressed energy inside us which wants a
expression but we don't know how to deal with this suppressed energy. So
gibberish meditation can be very useful in that moment.
After 15-20 minutes of gibberish one can do either of these two things
1. Either one can witness his thoughts or mind. Surprisingly, witnessing
will be much easier as mind has calmed down very much. There is a inner
silence and thoughts are not moving so fast. One can easily move into
deep meditation. In fact this is the real meditation part in this
technique. 15 -20 minutes of gibberish has set the stage for witnessing
to happen easily.
2. Or, for next 15-30 minutes, lie down on your stomach and feel as if
you are merging with mother earth. With each exhalation, feel yourself
merging into the ground beneath you.
