Advanced embedding details, examples, and help! Reviewer: breathe! God Bless You. 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. May 21, Wael Koubeissy rated it liked it. 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. 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..
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! Oct 18, Tiffany rated it liked it Recommended to Tiffany by: Danielle.
I'm glad I read Goodreads' Genevieve's 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 reiterat I'm glad I read Goodreads' Genevieve's review prior to reading Osho's book because I probably would have been a little annoyed at the simplicity and redundancy of the writing.
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. Jun 24, Elsa rated it really liked it.
Profound reading. He definitely is not for the mainstream public but more for the spiritually evolved.

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. 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! Oct 24, Sadaf rated it it was ok. 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. Oct 03, Deanna rated it really liked it. Inspirational, practical advice. Sep 07, Elke Anderson rated it really liked it. This book has an awesome guided meditation to put what you read in the to practice. I found the meditation help a lot i. Nov 19, Darshan rated it really liked it. Wonderfully communicated and explained how Body and Mind are connected and how one can master Mind by listening to Body Aug 05, Jason rated it it was amazing.
Knowing more of what you are, living as you realize the body is outside and to be experienced more fully. Jul 03, Brinda Shah rated it really liked it. It has been properly separated into three parts by the author. Be firm and connected with your inner voice. 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. Be true to the present moment. 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. 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. Apr 03, Dakshin rated it liked it. 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 ti I picked this book of the couch from my in-law's place. 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.
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.

Researchers have found that nearly half our ailments are stress-related. With the help of Body Mind Balancing, we can learn to talk to and reconnect with our bodies.
