The first Meditation to learn is "Gibberish and Let-Go" From the Osho web site.

You are carrying all that garbage, throw it! Just do it totally, enthusiastically. Don't be bothered whether it is Arabic or Hebrew or Chinese; you are allowed to speak any language that you don't know. Just avoid the language that you do know, because ...
