Bhagwan Shree Osho Rajneesh Watching Space between your Breaths Meditation

We inhale and exhale during breathing but there is an empty space between these two when nothing happens. This moment comes for very small amount of time. It is as small as thousandth part of a second. You inhale then comes a point when your breathing stops and then your breathe comes out. When you exhale, a point comes again when your breathing stops and then your breathing starts in the reverse direction. When your breathing turn inward or outward, there is a point when you do not breathe. In this moment, meditation is possible, whenever you are not breathing you are not present in this world. Try to understand it, when you are not breathing, you are dead. You are but you are dead. This moment is so small that you are not able to analyze this moment.

Breathe taken inward is like a new birth and exhalation is like death. After each cycle of inhalation and exhalation, you die. There is a very short time between inhalation and exhalation. You can be aware of this moment through dedication. You would not need anything if you become aware of this moment.

You do not need to alter your breathing. Just breathe normally. It appears to very easy method to know the truth. The meaning of knowing the truth is to know what never gets born or die.You may be aware of inhalation and exhalation but you are never aware of the space present between these two.
