it's my last day at Osho! i'm catching a taxi at 6pm to head back to Mumbai airport for my flight back. so i make the most of it and attend 2 more meditations...

Laughter meditation: i think this may be my favorite one! everyone comes into the Osho auditorium and sits on the floor. our guide explains the process and then states, "ok, well let's start laughing!" and all of a sudden, the whole room is filled with laughter. it's quite a show ...

... my mind. but everytime i try, more thoughts race through my head and i find myself daydreaming about anything and everything. more time goes by, my legs are starting to hurt and i wonder how much longer we have to go. a few other people have to reposition themselves, and i'm assuming they're newbies like me. i open my eyes and see a girl nodding off in front. everytime she almost falls over, she catches herself at the last second. i try to clear my ...

... be a
certain way. we're shaped into what other people expect us to be like.
