The renowned spiritual teacher Alan Watts offers a simple and uncomplicated method for practicing how to live in the here and now as well as an explanation of how we might experience the present moment in our everyday life.
Alan Watts' simple method for living in the moment and practicing. Instead of controlling your ideas, observe them. Watch them. Are they optimistic? Or are they damaging, depressing thoughts? One or the others isn't bad. Watch them. Imagine sitting on a mountain by the highway and thinking about cars and nothing else in your thoughts.
Easy Ways To Meditate
The major thing I learned from the Alan Watts meditation method is that meditation is an experience, not a task. It's about contemplating without judgment. This little Alan Watts meditation should help you understand yourself.
If done overtime consistently, you might grow to be less critical of yourself and others. You don't want to get too tied to anyone's negative thoughts.
Your enhanced awareness can aid you tons throughout the rest of your day. The next time you have a major meeting at work or a date with someone special, you can examine your thoughts.
"Meditation is the discovery that the point of existence is always arrived at in the immediate instant. And consequently, if you meditate for an ulterior motive — that is to say, to better your mind, to enhance your character, to be more efficient in life — you've got your eye on the future and you are not meditating!" Alan Watts
MeditationLifeSkillsPodcast.com strives to present meditation concepts that connect east and west, tradition and science in a non-sectarian way, from multiple traditions, without promoting any particular technique or method.
One important principle I try to accomplish is to take complex ideas about meditation and the not-so-well understood meditation principles and help you understand how they can fit into your life.
To your success in meditation!
