Ever thought that laughing and crying could be a form of meditation?
Well, if you believe Osho, it is . I came across this meditation technique called the mystic rose. It includes three steps. the first is laughter, say yaaahoooo and laugh continuously for 20 mins. second step is crying, say yaaaboo and cry for no reason for 20 mins. The third step involves silence. Just be. Laughter and tears are supposed to cut through the layers of dust that has settled on our being and silence allows us to go within once we have cleared the dust on our souls.
We may have never conciously practised this as a form of meditation but all of us would give testimony to the power of tears that lightens our burden, the power of laughter that elleviates our grief and silence that brings peace.
Though it may seem wierd, the technique is effective for the simple reason that it takes us back to the two human attributes that we deny ourselves of for the fear of being called unmanly or a lunatic.
