Meditation
Here is a wonderful book from Osho's discourses - 'From Medication to Meditation' written in a language that is fresh, profound, entertaining and understandable for all those who wonder whether meditation can help them enjoy better health and a greater sense of well-being.
This book clearly exposes the connection between your 'state of mind' and the state of your health.
In the foreword, which is a talk by Osho given to the Medical Association in India, he paints his vision of a healthier and more whole future when he says:
"…every hospital will have a department of meditation. It should happen. Then we will be able to treat man as a whole. The body will be taken care of by the doctors, the mind by the psychologists, and the soul by meditation.
The day the hospitals accept man as a whole, as a totality, and then treat him as such, will be a day of rejoicing for mankind. I request you to think in that direction so that this day will come soon."

Here is another good book from Osho's discourses - 'Meditation for Busy People' which reveals the following facts:
Nobody needs meditation more than people who have no time to meditate. These busy people may have tried meditation but given it up, as it seems so difficult to integrate into a hectic lifestyle.
Most traditional meditation techniques were developed thousands of years ago for people living very different lives from the lives we live today. Nowadays, very few people find it easy to just sit down and relax.
'Meditation for Busy People' is filled with methods that can easily be integrated into everyday life. A morning commute becomes a centering exercise, and the street noises outside an apartment window in the city become an aid, rather than a distraction, to find the silent space within.

Again here is a bombshell from Osho - 'The Book of Secrets: 112 Meditations to Discover the Mystery Within'. This book is a comprehensive and practical guide in which the secrets of the ancient science of Tantra become available to a contemporary audience for the first time.
Confined to small, hidden mystery schools for centuries, and often misunderstood and misinterpreted today, Tantra is not just a collection of techniques to enhance sexual experience.
As Osho shows in these pages, it is a complete science of self-realization, based on the cumulative wisdom of centuries of exploration into the meaning of life and consciousness. Tantra - the very word means 'technique' -is a set of powerful, transformative tools that can be used to bring new meaning and joy to every aspect of our daily lives.

Here is an excellent Osho's title - 'Meditation: The First and Last Freedom'.
This book is the most comprehensive guide available to all the Osho Active Meditations, plus a variety of other techniques.
Osho shows that meditation is not a spiritual discipline separate from everyday life in the real world. In essence, it is simply the art of being aware of what is going on inside and around us.

Love and Sex
Here is one Osho's masterpiece title - 'Sex Matters: From Sex to Superconsciousness' where he demystifies sex completely.
This book - 'Sex Matters' begins by deconstructing the layers of sexual repression that the condemnation of sex has inflicted on human.
Throughout 'Sex Matters' - in response to questions about everything from jealousy to premature ejaculation, the role of intimacy and the differences between men and women - Osho proposes a vision that embraces sex as a fundamental gift from nature.
We learn how orgasm offers a glimpse of timelessness, thoughtlessness, and pure awareness - biology's way of pointing toward the consciousness that helps us to understand ourselves.

Osho explains the beauty of Sufism in his masterpiece 'Sufis: The People of the Path' - Volume 1. A miserable man has past and future, a man who lives in bliss has only the moment, this moment. He, the Sufi, lives in the 'now'.
In this book he also sheds much light on autoeroticism, homosexuality, heterosexuality and celibacy.

Dr. Arnold Kegel was a Californian gynecologist who developed Kegel exercises in 1948 to control incontinence in women following childbirth.
The main purpose of Kegel exercises is to strengthen the PC muscle in the pelvic floor.
