 First Stage: Gibberish
It is generally suggested that the Gibberish be done for 45 minutes to an hour.
Close your eyes and begin to say nonsense sounds – any sounds or words, so long as they make no sense.
Just speak any language that you don't know! Allow yourself to express whatever needs to be expressed within you. Throw everything out.
The mind thinks, always, in terms of words. Gibberish helps to break up this pattern of continual verbalization. Without suppressing your thoughts, you can throw them out. Let your body likewise be expressive.
"Gibberish simply means throwing out your craziness, which is already there in the mind, piled up for centuries. As you throw it out you will find yourself becoming light, becoming more alive (...)."
Second Stage: Silent Witnessing
The first stage is followed by a period of Silent Witnessing for 45 minutes to an hour.
"Meditation means awareness, watchfulness, a silent witnessing of all the processes of the mind.
And the magic of watching is that as your watchfulness deepens, the mind starts evaporating.
When the watchfulness is absolute mind becomes nil, a zero. And the disappearance of the mind gives you clarity, absolute clarity, transparency; you can see through and through, you become a mirror. And then life is reflected as it is - not according to any doctrine (...)"
Third Stage: Let-Go
The Let-Go is to be done just a few minutes at the end of the meditation.

Second Stage: Moving In
After some minutes of Gibberish, there is a drumbeat, at which point the Gibberish stops.
Osho’s voice then guides the listener into a space of deep silence, stillness an relaxation, saying, for example:
“Be silent, close your eyes, no movement of the body ~ feel frozen. Go inwards, deeper and deeper, just like an arrow. Penetrate all the layers and hit the center of your existence.”
Third Stage: Let-Go
Another drumbeat and, without arranging yourself, just allow yourself to fall down "like a bag of rice," so you are lying, utterly still and relaxed, on your back as you are guided even more deeply into a silent stillness."
Fourth Stage: Coming Back
At the final drumbeat, Osho’s voice guides you back to a sitting position, with the reminder to carry the glimpse of silent awareness one may have had into everyday activities.
