Osho presents the eight steps of Yoga: self-restraint, fixed observation, posture, breath regulation, abstraction, concentration, contemplation and trance. With his rare understanding and compassion, he speaks on what meditative techniques are best for different types of people. There is no right or wrong, he says, but only the individual and his choice of what works best.
