It makes the comfort-loving people think twice before giving up the luxury of home. But you can be relaxed while travelling and use this hectic activity as medit tion. Here are some unique Osho tips for the travel enthusiasts. Now you can enjoy traveling without suffering from its side effects.
This is also effective for those who have to commute long distance to their office People have a mental fatigue just by thinking about distances in a metro city. Try this technique instead.
Sway with the moving vehicle
You get tired while travelling because when you are in a vehicle, you are resisting. The vehicle sways to the left, but you resist it. You sway to the right in order to balance; otherwise you think you will fall down. So you are constantly resisting.
That is why when sitting in a train you become tired. You have not been doing anything. Why do you become so tired? You have been doing much unknowingly. You were fighting the train continuously; there was resistance. Do not resist -- this is the first thing.
And the second thing, create a rhythm. Create a rhythm in your movements. Make it a beautiful harmony. Forget about the road; do not curse the road and the government -- forget them. Close your eyes, do not resist. Move rhythmically and create a music in your movement. Make it as if it is a dance.
The best tranquilizer
For people who cannot sleep, this is the best medicine yet known, better than any tranquilizer. Just close your eyes and rub your hands, and feel them getting warmer and warmer and warmer – and through rubbing they will get warmer – and also put into your imagination that they are getting warmer. When the hands are warm, the head becomes cool. These are the two polarities.
Emphasize exhaling
Whenever you feel tired, say, "AH" ... throw the breath. And make it a point to emphasize exhaling. You will be a different man, and a different mind will evolve. With the emphasis on breathing in, you have developed a miserly mind and a miserly body. With exhaling, that miserliness will disappear and with it many problems. Possessiveness will disappear. Observe your own breathing and your moods, and you will become aware. Whatsoever is wrong is always associated with the incoming breath and whatsoever is good, virtuous, beautiful, is always associated with exhaling. Whenever you are speaking a lie, you will hold your breath in. Whenever you speak the truth, you never hold the breath.
