Before class
- Test sound and white noise machine.
- Osho dynamic should only be facilitated at the Awakening Hall
- Ensure safety of students by placing cushions around the columns and other dangerous areas
- Ensure there is enough tissue paper and at least a bin to spit
- Ensure there is a yoga mat and a blindfold available per student
- Make sure you have a notebook or similar device with all music tracks
- OSHO Dynamic should start strictly on time
- Lock the door before starting (about 7:03am)
During class
- Follow Samma Karuna’s facilitation guidelines during the class
- Class intro should not be more than 7 minutes long (go straight to the instructions)
- If all the students in your class have already being to OSHO Dynamic, provide some feedback to improve the performance of the previous day and skip the introduction of the meditation.
- Mention all stages:
Stage 1:
- Stand with your feet shoulders apart, knees relaxed and slightly bent
- Keep your mouth close
- Breath fast and deep through the nose
- Emphasizing the exhalation
- Avoid getting into any rhythm
- Be total, allow the energy to build and build
- It’s important to stay aware in to the breathing, to observe from the inside as everything is happening to somebody else.
Stage 2:
- Allow all your feelings to come out
- A little acting can help you to start
- Whatever is there (angry, sadness, laughter, fear) just let them all come out through sound and body movements.
- The feelings will keep changing if you stay open.
- Don’t let your mind to interfere to what is happening
- Be total and stay conscious, observing from inside
- Channeling all your feelings into bodily expressions
Stage 3:
- Keep your eyes closed, arms raised and jumping up and down shouting “Hoo!” as you land on the floor.
- Keep your knees unlocked so you can hand on the flat of your feet.
- Don’t hold back, totally exhaust yourself.
- Remain aware of everything that is happening inside and outside of you.
- Introduce the “bicycle alternative” to students that cannot jump on stage 3 due to an injury.
Stage 4:
- The first 3 stages are a preparation for this stage
- Freeze immediately when you hear “stop”
- Remain as a statue, eyes closed without adjusting the body in any way or trying to control your breath.
- Observing passively any body sensations, any thoughts and any feelings as well as anything happening outside of you.
Stage 5:
- Allow the body move into dance as a celebration
- Once you finish the instructions spend a moment to provide feedback to that came to the previous day, tell them what you saw yesterday that was no so good and demo the right way to do it.
- Ask if there are any questions
- Play the sound tracks one straight after the other on loud volume
- Ensure the white noise machine is running before stage 2 and switch it off before stage 4 starts
- Switch off air-conditioning system and fans before stage 4 starts
- Encourage students to work with totality by redirecting your voice towards them with helpful instructions during the first 3 to 4 minutes of the stages 1, 2, 3 and 5.
- Instructions to students should always be given to the whole group even if they are actually meant for a particular student.
- It’s not recommended that students lay down after the meditation, encourage people to leave the hall.
- Stay in the hall, encourage students to come to you if they have any questions
