Active Meditation was devised by an Indian Mystic named OSHO. Like many forms of meditation and healing being introduced into our culture today it has its roots in eastern philosophy. Yet it is unique in that it was actually devised with the 'busy-ness' of the western lifestyle in mind. Though the ultimate purpose of Active Meditation holds true to that of meditation in general - i.e. to attain inner consciousness and peace despite chaotic surroundings - it begins with a much more realistic and even logical approach to doing so.

If you've tried meditation before you may have found yourself distracted by your worries, the discomfort of your body in a certain posture or even of all the things you have left to do in the day. This is common.

It is also why Active Meditation is growing. Active meditation simultaneously extends itself to the mind, body, emotions and spirit of an individual by literally 'shaking up' the whole system. It is this 'shaking up' that creates a faster and more likely opportunity for looking inwards to see the patterns and repetition in our lives that are responsible for our lack of self acceptance and compassion for others.

We are busy people, we live in a chaotic world and we have things to get done.
