About the author
Osho
3,865Ìýbooks6,641ÌýfollowersRajneesh (born Chandra Mohan Jain, 11 December 1931 â€� 19 January 1990) and latter rebranded as Osho was leader of the Rajneesh movement. During his lifetime he was viewed as a controversial new religious movement leader and mystic.
In the 1960s he traveled throughout India as a public speaker and was a vocal critic of socialism, Mahatma Gandhi, and Hindu religious orthodoxy.
Rajneesh emphasized the importance of meditation, mindfulness, love, celebration, courage, creativity and humor—qualities that he viewed as being suppressed by adherence to static belief systems, religious tradition and socialization.
In advocating a more open attitude to human sexuality he caused controversy in India during the late 1960s and became known as "the sex guru".
In 1970, Rajneesh spent time in Mumbai initiating followers known as "neo-sannyasins". During this period he expanded his spiritual teachings and commented extensively in discourses on the writings of religious traditions, mystics, and philosophers from around the world. In 1974 Rajneesh relocated to Pune, where an ashram was established and a variety of therapies, incorporating methods first developed by the Human Potential Movement, were offered to a growing Western following. By the late 1970s, the tension between the ruling Janata Party government of Morarji Desai and the movement led to a curbing of the ashram's development and a back taxes claim estimated at $5 million.
In 1981, the Rajneesh movement's efforts refocused on activities in the United States and Rajneesh relocated to a facility known as Rajneeshpuram in Wasco County, Oregon. Almost immediately the movement ran into conflict with county residents and the state government, and a succession of legal battles concerning the ashram's construction and continued development curtailed its success.
In 1985, in the wake of a series of serious crimes by his followers, including a mass food poisoning attack with Salmonella bacteria and an aborted assassination plot to murder U.S. Attorney Charles H. Turner, Rajneesh alleged that his personal secretary Ma Anand Sheela and her close supporters had been responsible. He was later deported from the United States in accordance with an Alford plea bargain.[
After his deportation, 21 countries denied him entry. He ultimately returned to India and a revived Pune ashram, where he died in 1990. Rajneesh's ashram, now known as OSHO International Meditation Resort and all associated intellectual property, is managed by the Zurich registered Osho International Foundation (formerly Rajneesh International Foundation). Rajneesh's teachings have had a notable impact on Western New Age thought, and their popularity has increased markedly since his death.

Really good book about getting out of your head and into your body. Recommended highly! If you read it, remember that it's a transcription of Osho's talks, he never wrote it. Otherwise, you'll get frustrated.

I was in my early twenties when i read The first books for Osho, about 15 years ago. I was astonished as a young guy with little experience with the content. I found this book and decided to get it and read it and i said to myself that if i'm still impressed by his books after all these years, then this book deserves 5 stars. well it doesn't, but that's only according to me, because i'm well aware of the things mentioned in the book, it was a good reminder of your duties toward your body, but my lifestyle isn't that of a nine-to-fiver or a modern guy not sparing a way to make money, i'm a free lancer who barely gives 5 hours a day for work and who doesn't give a damn about money and who spends much of his time between books and music and photography so i guess i'm well balanced in giving my body or soul the needed experience mentioned in the book.
BUT nowadays, this book is a MUST for most people who are carried away with their carriers or obsessed with making money or even those who are 'enjoying their lives' but making an effort in doing that.. this book is about letting go.. it sounds like an easy thing to do but few people are capable of letting go. Do read this book, it might change your life!
PS: I didn't listen to the CD yet, i'm leaving it to a spontaneous moment where i feel like meditating and not an obligation to complete the review of the book. If i find anything worth adding after listening to it, i will add it!

I'm glad I read Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ' review prior to reading Osho's book because I probably would have been a little annoyed at the simplicity and redundancy of the writing. But, apparently, these writings are transcripts of what Osho has spoken about.
Osho is a Indian philosopher and spiritual teacher. Many of the ideas in Body Mind Balancing are worth reading and holding on to. He reminds us that we are too often in our own minds and forget to listen to our bodies. An example that he reiterates a few times in the book is how we will often continue to eat and stuff ourselves despite the fact that we are really full, and if we only stopped for a moment to really listen to our stomachs and realize that it is full, we wouldn't continue to eat. Osho attempts to enlighten his readers and teach his followers how to listen and learn from their bodies, not only when they ache or are in pain (which is usually the only time we notice), but at all times.
Some of the book is hokey; I had to skim through the sections where he discusses symptoms and solutions. I have a difficult time when philosophy crosses into the realm of medicine and attempts to cure ailments such as indigestion simply by jogging then meditating. I realize I'm oversimplifying this (for all of you Osho-fans).
That being said, if you can read these beliefs and take them with the proverbial grain of salt then you might enjoy the gentle reminder Osho offers to help you to remember to check in with your whole self more frequently than your busy life and you busy mind may allow you to do.

This book is a collection of transcripts of Osho's teaching, so it has to be read in a certain manner unlike reading a conventional book.
I usually don't tend to pick up books of this genre as I still, at times, find myself on the fence with the Science vs Spiritual debate. But a considerable volume of the book that focuses on the differentiation of the mind and body is quite sound.
Having picked up meditation past couple of months there are some key points that I can take from this book on how erroneously(and meticulously) I was approaching it.
That being said, I found some aspects a bit nagging. To be happy throughout as a way to live life being one of them. I know I might be overtly simplifying this aspect and interpreting a personal meaning, much to the chagrin of the Osho followers. But at the same time these generalisations to tend to erode the overall quality of the book. The juxtaposition of jokes at times broke my flow and felt annoying. Yes, I was being a tad too serious as the book later gently reminded me.
But there is a renewed respect for the body that has happened now. Especially after treating it within the same framework of treating my mind due to conventional wisdom and conditioning.
The lesson that the mind and body share a symbiotic relationship rather than a master slave one was the most precious.

Profound reading. He definitely is not for the mainstream public but more for the spiritually evolved. Amazing.

książka niesamowicie otwierająca oczy, uważam że każdy człowiek natchnie się na nią w odpowiednim momencie swojego życia prędzej czy później. absolutnie ubóstwiam miłość przedstawioną do ciała i umysłu przez osho, a również ukazanie zdrowego punktu widzenia na wiele poglądów, głównie związanych z religią. nie jest to książka na jeden wieczór. uważam, że aby zrozumieć jej sens i morał należy powoli wprowadzać jej nauki w życie i przede wszystkim stopniowo ją rozumieć. bark piątej gwiazdki wynika tylko i wyłącznie z tego, że momentami było za dużo informacji do przyswojenia przez mój mózg i chwilami naprawdę się męczyłam podczas czytania.

The concept of BODY MIND BALANCING is that our thoughts and ideas have been trained to be one way, while our bodies operate naturally, which generally puts the two at odds. The harder you try to force them together, the more they fight each other. This book hopes to help you find a way to balance them, so that you can function at your highest level mentally, physically, and emotionally. It only follows naturally that if each person could reach their best level, the world as a whole would be better.
This book requires that you keep an open mind. I also found that you have to be willing to take the author with a large grain of salt. There are times when he seems to be overly impressed with his own intelligence and message. He seems to have some issues with major religions in general. Also, not all of his ideas are completely real world practical.
If you can get past those things you'll find that the author makes some very good points in this book. Many of them seem so simple and obvious it's hard to imagine that we don't automatically behave that way. I especially liked the idea/realization that your body knows what it wants and when it wants it. To give it different things when it doesn't want them seems absurd, yet we all do it every day.
Included with the book is a meditation CD. I'm not sure I can review it for you. All guided meditation attempts seem to put me to sleep. Unless it was actually just a really deep state of meditation, in which case, it worked!

Sabah alarm çaldığında uyanamıyor,
Trafikte gereksiz bir anksiyete yaşıyor
Öğle saati gelmeden açlıktan başı dönüyor
Yemekten çalışması gerekirken uykusu geliyor
Akşam sorumluluklar bitip tam da eğlenme vakti gelmişken bitkin düşüyor
Gece yatma vakti geldiğindeyse uyuyamıyor
....
Bedenimiz ne kadar da beceriksiz bir sistem...
Mi acaba?
Gece vakti Konya semalarında bir yıldız kayar. Bilirsiniz ki kayan yıldız, atmosferden içeriye girmekte olan göktaşı demektir. Bu yanar, parçalanır ve toza dönüşür, ardından toprağa düşer.
Ahmet amcanın şeker kamışlarının üzerine de gelmiştir, Ayşe teyzenin buğdayına da. Toprak alır bu tozları, o bitkiye verir. İstanbul'da Arda Migros'tan bir Gofret alır ve yer. Bilmez ki aslında o kayan yıldızdan da bir parça yiyordur. Beden için fark etmez ama. O yıldızdan gofrete kadar ulaşan parçaları sindirir, emer, kapı toplar damarından alır gönderir. Artık Arda'nın vücudunun bir parçasıdır o Konya'daki çocukların kaydığını görüp de dilek tuttuğu yıldız. Böyle bir düzen, böyle bir beden. Ama gece uykusu gelmediği için nefret ederiz ondan(!)
Osho'nun kurduğu meditasyon merkezinde 1 haftalık kurs olarak verilen eğitimin, kitaplaştırılarak bir özetine ulaşmamızı sağlayan bu eser, içindeki Türkçe anlatımlı aktif meditasyon CD'si ile, sizi sadece entellektüel bir bilgi paylaşımına değil, ayrıca bir deneyime ortak olmaya çağırıyor.

The book seemed very simplistic till I realised it was not written by Osho but a summary of his teachings. So basically it sounds like some new-age hocus pocus jumbo mumbo feel good self help book. However, the meditation cd with the book is worth a try.

The takeaways from the book:-
WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE TRUE TO YOURSELF?
Life can be experienced to it’s best when you are being true to yourself and living it. Now, what exactly does it mean to ‘be true to yourself�? It has been properly separated into three parts by the author.
(a) Listen to your inner voice. Don’t be misguided and dragged by what others think or say about you. Be firm and connected with your inner voice.
(b) Never wear a mask. Do not ever suppress your feelings. Express what you feel. No matter whatever feeling arises, it needs to be expressed. Suppressing it will result in long-term harm to your mind and body. So avoid controlling it.
(c) Authenticity is a must. Be true to the present moment. The past and the future keeps on luring & distracting you with its pain and pleasures, but being authentic means being genuinely present in the moment.
WHAT IS MUST FOR A BLISSFUL LIFE?
You might be reading this article here, but your brain might go somewhere else for even a microsecond, doesn’t it? This is called dis-integration between mind and body, which creates friction in life. In order to live a blissful life, one needs to have integration between mind-body and the soul. When all this three will walk in a single line, life will be blissful.
WHY DO WE CHOSE TO BE UNHAPPY, UNCONSCIOUSLY?
Since childhood, we have not been given much attention until we got angry or started crying or messing things up. Whenever we were happy or playing around nobody even bothered to look at us. This created an impression in our minds that in order to get attention and sympathy from people we need to put up some drama. If we are happy, joyful and full of bliss no one would come and pay attention to us. Thus on an unconscious level, we chose to be sad and gloomy as we always crave for attention and sympathy from others.
These were some of the points which I found special, however, the whole book is a treasure to unlock your mind-body issues. So if you find the time, and feel like working in the spiritual sphere of your life, do not miss out on reading this book.
MAY GOD BLESS YOU:)!

I picked this book of the couch from my in-law's place. My mother in law reads avidly. I just wanted to know what this book is about because the cover was simple and the book showed signs of foxing stains which only added to its attraction. Then onwards, it was a breezy ride which took less than 2 days for completion.
I learnt the two ways anger is released by reading this book. This is my hugest take away point and I recommend you to read this book for the same reason. It also reveals simple tips how to be more open and sense the true purpose of life by unearthing misconceptions that had been ingrained inside us from childhood. Ultimately, a breezy flipping through of this book will still be helpful and refreshing for your mind. I was not the patient type to read through this book line to line. I skipped some portions here and there but it was still worth it. I may not have relished the line by line reading in this book because it may have put me off for sounding too preaching-like..
OSHO brings forth the truth of how people live a false life with masks on. Through this book, the reader is encouraged to step out of it and make amends to his lifestyle. Laying down the fallacies help to unravel the mind and bring stability to the body. The writing style puts the necessary experiences in bare bones and makes the experience something the reader will relate to with ease.
The question and answer section which appears for a number of concerns in the middle chapters serve as a much needed respite to the sermonish narrative. 2 of the questions related to stress drew my attention and I appreciate the succinct manner of response provided in this book for such situations. My favourite passage in this book appears in the question and answer chapter as OSHO defines beauty in a very short and crisp manner. Though it may be cliched, it stands out for correlating the mind and the body. I am sure you will be able to filter what you need from this book for the refinement of your mind and betterment of your body.

Finished reading “Body Mind Balancing � A Guide to Making Friends with Your Body� by Osho. Doctors and scientists have now come to recognize what common sense has always told us � that there is a deep connection between body and mind, and it profoundly affects our overall physical health and sense of well-being. Researchers have found that nearly half our ailments are stress-related. And the “placebo-effect� � where people get better just because they believe that a certain treatment or medicine is going to help them, even if they are only taking a sugar pill � is well documented.
Many everyday discomforts and tensions arise from the fact that we are alienated from our bodies. With the help of Body Mind Balancing, we can learn to talk to and reconnect with our bodies. After just a short time Osho’s insights will lead us to appreciate how much the body has been working for us and supporting us, and from this new perspective we can find new ways to work with the body and create a more harmonious balance of body and mind.
The guided meditation and relaxation process is a CD that accompanies the text. Developed by Osho, this meditative therapy guides the listener in reconnecting with his or her body and creating a new and better sense of well-being.

This book has something which can only be come from inside. If you feel like ready to ready this book give urself plenty of time to know about this book is actually referring to. Don't take religiously but just feel it. You will get its instances in your body and also in our very religious leaders too. Just try to see things differently.

I really really enjoyed this book. If you are into holistic, spiritually healing, I took away a lot from this book that I will use in my healing journey forever. The end got a little repetitive and the personal stories sometimes overshadowed what the author wanted to say, but I enjoyed it none the less!

One of the beautiful book on human body. Osho clearly explains and gives techniques to know specific subtle language by which our human body speaks to us. Its a perfect spiritual guide on how to treat, respect and care our own human body and live harmoniously with it...

Nice philosophical book around talking to the body. There are some parts/narratives that I personally struggled with, but overall a very quick and easy read, definitely enjoyable for someone on the journey to explore oneself.

Every Osho book brings back the concepts of awareness and being the watcher. This one also includes the concept of the body, mind and the soul being in sync which is when the 'fourth' enters our life.
November 12, 2020
The book was written in 2003 and is a collection of Osho's teachings.
I think today you have much better books than Osho's stories.
I wanted to read almost all Osho's books, as you can read his books in 2-3 days.
Very simply written and easy. As if you were meditating by reading his books.

Te explica la relación que existe entre cuerpo y mente y concientiza a que nos eduquemos a escuchar a nuestro cuerpo, y dice wue la medicina se deberÃa de encargar de curar las emociones y no solo los sÃntomas, Osho dice que muchas de nuestras enfermedades son psicosomáticas; me agrado!

Great ideas in this book and advice for someone looking to live a more mindful life but it is important to consider that there is an extreme nature to Osho's teachings so it's important to read this with a grain of salt.

Mimo że jest krótka to bardzo się przy niej wymęczyłam - miałam wrażenie, że przez 200 stron autor w kółko powtarzał te same zdania i nie dochodził do żadnych nowych wniosków. Nie dowiedziałam się niczego nowego i moim zdaniem książka utrzymana jest w bardzo pretensjonalnym i moralizatorskim tonie

The book discusses the importance of the mind over the body and how the mind controls the body and we should listen to the mind. However it was very redundant and the concepts were over explained. But overall the book was good.
