OSHO'S MYSTIC ROSE MEDITATION FOR CHILDREN (and busy people , 30 minutes )
"The whole of life has become just a utility: either you are an inspector, or you are a police commissioner, or you are a minister, or you are a teacher — just a function which any robot can do.
The only thing that the robot cannot do is meditation.
But a man of meditation for the first time realizes that it does not matter whether he is needed or not — he himself is a joy unto himself.
I want my people to understand it absolutely that unless you become blissful on your own accord, unless your rose opens within your own being, you are just a commodity, just a thing, an object.
The following is a 30 minute meditation suggested by Osho for children and their teachers to do together at the beginning of each school day.
To use gibberish, don’t say things which are meaningful, don’t use the language that you know. Use Chinese, if you don’t know Chinese. Use Japanese if you don’t know Japanese. Don’t use German if you know German.
OSHO, Live Zen, Chapter #17 - May 1988
STAGE 2
Ten minutes belly laughter with eyes open or closed.
"Simply laugh for no reason at all. And whenever their laughter starts dying they again say, ”Yaa-Hoo!” and it will come back.
The authentic laughter is not about anything. It is simply arising in you as a flower blossoms in a tree. It has no reason, no rational explanation. It is mysterious; hence the mystic rose."
OSHO, Yaa-Hoo! The Mystic Rose, Chapter #30 - April 1988
STAGE 3
Ten minutes silence with eyes closed, sitting or lying, just watching and witnessing your body, your surroundings, your thoughts, without any judgement.
To experience it go deeper and deeper. Drop all fear, because it is your own being, your own unknown territory that you are going to explore. There is no question of fear. Nobody else can enter there, it is absolutely private. Hence fearlessly open your wings, the whole sky is yours."

"The whole of life has become just a utility: either you are an inspector, or you are a police commissioner, or you are a minister, or you are a teacher — just a function which any robot can do.
The only thing that the robot cannot do is meditation.
In other words, I am saying that those who are not in meditation are being robots, without being aware that they are just utilities, functions, they are needed.
But a man of meditation for the first time realizes that it does not matter whether he is needed or not — he himself is a joy unto himself.
He himself is bliss, he does not depend on anybody to make him blissful. That is the only freedom possible in the world.
Otherwise everybody is a slave.
I want my people to understand it absolutely that unless you become blissful on your own accord, unless your rose opens within your own being, you are just a commodity, just a thing, an object.
Meditation reveals your subjectivity. Subjectivity is your consciousness, and your consciousness and its experience makes your life significant, meaningful, eternal, immortal, without any beginning and without any end. A celebration, moment-to-moment a dance.
And unless you have transformed your life into a moment-to-moment dance you have missed the opportunity that existence gives you."

MYSTIC ROSE MEDITATION FOR CHILDREN (it can be done also by those who don’t have the possibility to go through the complete Mystic Rose process )
The following is a 30 minute meditation suggested by Osho for children and their teachers to do together at the beginning of each school day.
STAGE 1
Ten minutes gibberish. With eyes closed, make any nonsense sounds you like; sing, cry, shout. Let your body do whatever it wants; jump, shake, walk, sit. Everything is allowed, go totally mad.
Ten minutes gibberish. With eyes closed, make any nonsense sounds you like; sing, cry, shout. Let your body do whatever it wants; jump, shake, walk, sit. Everything is allowed, go totally mad.
"The word ‘gibberish’ comes from a Sufi mystic, Jabbar. Jabbar never spoke any language, he just uttered nonsense. Still he had thousands of disciples because what he was saying was, ”Your mind is nothing but gibberish. Put it aside and you will have a taste of your own being.”
To use gibberish, don’t say things which are meaningful, don’t use the language that you know. Use Chinese, if you don’t know Chinese. Use Japanese if you don’t know Japanese. Don’t use German if you know German.
For the first time have a freedom — the same as all the birds have. Simply allow whatever comes to your mind without bothering about its rationality, reasonability, meaning, significance — just the way the birds are doing."

STAGE 2
Ten minutes belly laughter with eyes open or closed.
"Simply laugh for no reason at all. And whenever their laughter starts dying they again say, ”Yaa-Hoo!” and it will come back.
Digging for three hours you will be surprised how many layers of dust have gathered upon your being. It will cut them like a sword, in one blow. [...] You cannot conceive how much transformation can come to your being. [...]
The authentic laughter is not about anything. It is simply arising in you as a flower blossoms in a tree. It has no reason, no rational explanation. It is mysterious; hence the mystic rose."
OSHO, Yaa-Hoo! The Mystic Rose, Chapter #30 - April 1988
STAGE 3
Ten minutes silence with eyes closed, sitting or lying, just watching and witnessing your body, your surroundings, your thoughts, without any judgement.
"Be silent, no movement ... go in. Close your eyes. This is you. No portrait of it is possible. It is just a pure silence, a space without boundaries. This is all that you have brought into the world, and this is all that you will take away when you die.
In birth, in life, in death, this is the only thing that constantly remains the same. The unchanging, ultimate truth.
To experience it go deeper and deeper. Drop all fear, because it is your own being, your own unknown territory that you are going to explore. There is no question of fear. Nobody else can enter there, it is absolutely private. Hence fearlessly open your wings, the whole sky is yours."
