OSHO Bardo

A deep guided meditation to experience and free yourself from the fear of dying

OSHO Bardo is a meditation, and the metaphysical dying or ‘letting go’ that happens when we move into meditation is similar in many ways to physical death. Meditation is a way to rehearse – and so become more at ease with – the process of dying before it actually happens.

To benefit from OSHO Bardo you don’t need to wait for the final moments of death; regularly practicing the process can create this freedom in your life and at the same time dispel the fear of death.

In dying, as in meditating, we can...

⁕ Shift from the outer world to the inner
⁕ Relax, letting go of all tension
⁕ Move from doing to being 


⁕ Let go of all the various roles with which we have been identified


⁕ Enter our own journey, however many other people might be around us 


OSHO Bardo can be used by anyone, of any or no religious or spiritual affiliation. It is for:

⁕ Anyone who would like to live and die consciously


⁕ Anyone who would like to be able to relax while remaining present and alert
⁕ Anyone who has a fear around living or dying
⁕ Those already familiar with meditation as well as those who would like to learn how to meditate
⁕ Carers of those who are ill or dying

The term BARDO means ‘a transitional time’ and, as such, it offers a heightened potential for inner transformation. The original Bardo Thödol was an ancient method used in Tibet to support the transition of dying.

Osho has asked that a new, more contemporary version be created which supports people who want to die consciously and in a spirit of celebration. OSHO Bardo can be used as a regular meditation to help us to relax and know more awareness and joy in our everyday lives. It is also a preparation for the crescendo of life and the greatest experience of letting go that we will encounter – letting go of life itself.

Over two thousand years ago Tibetan Buddhists created a practice of dying and being reborn. Central to this is the scripture called the Bardo Thödol – Liberation in the Intermediate State through Hearing (aka The Tibetan Book of the Dead). The term, ‘bardo’,’means ‘a transitional time’ and as such it is a time of a heightened potential for inner transformation. Meditation is used as a method to enter this ‘Intermediate State’ consciously and so become free of attachments.
