Coming Home to Yourself

Coming Home to Yourself
A Meditator's Guide to Blissful Living
Book — Also available in other formats: eBook

All of us have experienced moments of "coming home" – feeling relaxed, grounded, free of the restlessness that characterizes so much of our everyday lives. These moments can arise in nature or in the depths of an activity we enjoy, alone or together with people we love. They show us that we are exactly where we are supposed to be.

The meditations in Coming Home to Yourself were selected from Osho's hundreds of public talks and intimate conversations. These passages are designed to be a companion on the journey toward transforming our rare moments of "at-home-ness" into an undercurrent that permeates all aspects of our lives. They offer guidance about meditation and specific techniques to try, insights into the habits that keep us tense and conflicted, and what life might look like if we recognize those habits and let them go.

A beautifully illustrated collection of mindfulness exercises for grounding, relaxation, and finding inner peace, from contemporary mystic Osho

A CERTAINTY
"I know that if you jump into the stream you will be able to swim, because swimming is a natural phenomenon. One need not learn It. I’m not talking about the outer stream and swimming; there you may be drowned. I am talking about the stream of the inner consciousness, the stream of consciousness – if you jump into it.
And that’s what is meant, that is the parallel story that you have to decode. You naturally know. Have you ever seen any fish learning to swim?

Once Mulla Nasruddin was caught fishing somewhere that fishing was prohibited. The inspector came suddenly and he was caught red-handed: he was just hauling in a fish. He immediately threw the fish back and sat there, undisturbed. The inspector was standing there. He asked, 'What are you doing, Mulla?' Mulla said, 'I am teaching this fish to swim.'

Now, no fish needs to be taught swimming. The fish is born there, swimming is like breathing. Who has taught you breathing?
There is no need to be afraid; if you are ready to trust, to jump into the stream of your consciousness, you will know how to swim. At the most, it can happen that you may drift a long way before a fisherman hauls you up. You can at the most drift, that’s all. You cannot be drowned. You belong to consciousness, you are part of that stream." Osho
