The Path of Meditation

A walk through active and silent methods; when to stir the body and when to stop arranging.

About the work

The Path of Meditation surveys active and silent methods—when to stir the body and when to stop arranging. It functions as orientation before committing to one technique. Not a substitute for group instruction, but useful map-making.

Osho's treatment

Survey of active and silent methods—when to stir the body and when to stop arranging. Useful as orientation before you commit to one technique. Not a substitute for instruction in a group.

Who should read this

Beginners overwhelmed by Osho's huge catalog who want a method overview. Readers choosing between dynamic and silent practice. Group facilitators needing language for variety.

Who should skip or wait

Advanced practitioners already committed to one line who dislike surveys. Those wanting deep commentary on a single ancient text. Readers needing medical or psychiatric guidance—not offered here.

Editions and formats

Distinct from Meditation: The First and Last Freedom though themes overlap—compare tables of contents before buying both. Methods referenced match Osho Active Meditations catalog on site. Older editions may omit newer meditation names.
