Thank you Dvayers for sharing...I was beginning to think I'm hearing things, haha. This is all the video is...meant to listen, and learn to listen better, until you hear what it is you've been listening for. / The song you hear actually has a lot of versions, the one I'm using is called "Sei He Ki". UA-cam user "TheSuperZenSpot" has this exact version on their channel. All the best...IB
I’m a counselor and do the same ❤. There’s a misconception about meditation but Alan did a wonderful job explaining how to activate the present moment state 🙂↕️
I'm glad that even now, coming up on 50 years after his death, technology has allowed Alan Watts to be the spiritual and mental health advisor that I never knew I needed.
It's a shame that 50 years after his death, people without any authenticity profit off his teachings by plastering ads all over it. The longing for money, influence and approval forced on us by big tech / social media algorithms are a corruption of all Alan Watts taught. People have even co-opted his voice by letting AI generate endorsements for their snake oil business. The well has been poisoned.
If you are sad, you live in the past If you are worried, you are dealing with the future If you are at peace, you are living in the present Be at the moment, be at peace Still the Mind | Embrace Calmness | Inhale Peace ❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a Beautiful Smile You have Tonight , what Empowering word's I've listened to in My life of 60+ years and I have been a Realist and Your words Ring oh so True. Thank You Jimmy🤘
Love the way you put this, perfect in its simplicity✨🙏🏼 The Magic is in the Moment, and the inherent Mystery of Awareness of Being … just to be Alive! ♾💖
God it's been at least 4 years and I still come back to this meditation when I need one, I've showed this to everyone I can and they all love it too, it's truely the single greatest guided meditation ever done. And the back track is perfect! 👌 One day I plan to record my own version of this to put our onto the internet for others but this is one I will use until the day I die and return to infinity. 💫❤️
Man that ad really messes up my zen... 9/20/20: The ad is just part of the symphony. Much gratitude to the collective insight of the UA-cam community, rascals included (“;
That's something I'd like to try.. Who'd have thunk that all the times I could get a hold of it I wasn't interested in trying it but once I got out of the Army I lost any connections to it now that I'd be interested in experimenting with it
Someone suggested this video to me on reddit... i posted something about trying to minimize negative thoughts, and brought me here. I will try it. Cheers!
I am a seeker. I've been meditating over thirty years and am always open to peace, learning, humor, and love. In my life I am so deeply touched by the extraordinary people I am honored to meet as an UBER driver. I look forward to the experiences of driving and hearing incredible new beings and their stories while we are moving and sharing as a form of meditation. This video slides the bar of relaxation and peace so much further than I can remember. It enhances my overall wellbeing. What a combination to add to these other beautiful life experiences.
Me too! I'm autistic and have ADHD(oh, and 4 kids haha). I've been trying to meditate for over a year now and can't seem to get anywhere fast. That's okay. I keep finding inspiration to try again. This video is golden. It gives me enough of a distraction to keep my mind occupied with things other than, "what's fixing to happen, how long is this, how many minutes now, what was that noise", etc. Anyhow, I made it through the whole thing. lol That's good for me. Longest I've made it in silence was for 20 minutes and, I shit you not, I started seeing rainbow colored geometrical shapes. I know that sounds nuts; if it is, that's cool, I'm happy. Apologies for the ramble, I have 4 kids, autism and ADHD. haha
EY3CON U What makes something an interruption is entirely your choice. Even if someone calls your name, you can just sit there, they will eventually realise you aren't responding. The point is to get to the state where nothing is 'pleasant' or 'unpleasant', where nothing interrupts you, where everything just is 'something'. One can also ask: What are you being interrupted from? Meditation is basically living but with the dials turned up (more focus). If you get interrupted while living, doesn't that mean you are dead? Since all happenings happens in the present, being interrupted is latching on to something that happened to examine if it disturbed your being in the present or not. Well since you are sitting there examining if it did that or not, you are answering your own question! Since you are now the one interrupting yourself by seeking to examine if something interrupted you or not! This is the nature of being interrupted, it starts out as just latching on to something, then trying to figure out why that happened and seeking to blame something other than yourself for the loss of concentration. This is not an easy task, not interrupting yourself, but I truly believe one can accomplish great things by just letting oneself flow forward in time with the eternal happening. Be honest with yourself, and seek the answers deep inside you! Look long enough and you shall find the nature of your being. Peace 😊
Well now, the easiest way to get into the meditative state is to begin by listening. If you simply close your eyes, and allow yourself to hear all the sounds that are going round and round you. Just listen to the general hum and buzz of the world as if you were listening to music. Don't try to identify the sounds you are hearing, don't put names on them, simply allow them to play with your eardrums. And let them go. Now the words you could put it - let your ears hear whatever they want to hear. Don't judge the sounds, there are no as if it were proper sounds or improper sounds and it doesn't matter if somebody coughs or sneezes or drops something. It's all just sound. And if I am talking to you right now and you are doing this I want you to listen to the sound of my voice just as if it were noise. Don't try to make any sense out of what I am saying because your brain will take care of that automatically. You don't have to try to understand anything. Just listen to the sound. As you pursue that experiment, you will very naturally find that you cant help naming sounds, identifying them, that you will go on thinking, that is to say talking to yourself inside your head automatically. But it is important that you don't to repress those thoughts by forcing them out of your mind because that will have precisely the same effect as if you were trying to smooth rough water with a flat iron - you are just going to disturb it all the more. What you do is this - as you hear sounds coming up in your head, thoughts, you simply listen to them as part of the general noise going on just as you'd be listening to the sound of my voice or just as you'd be listening to cars going by or to birds chattering outside the window. So look at your own thoughts as just noises. And soon you will find that the so-called outside world and the so-called inside world come together. They are a happening. Your thoughts are a happening just like the sounds going on outside and everything is simply a happening and all you are doing is watching it. Now, in this process another thing that is happening that is very important is that you are breathing and as you start meditation you allow your breath to run just as it will. In other words, don't do at first any breathing exercise but just watch your breath breathing the way it wants to breathe. And notice a curious thing about this - you say in the ordinary way "I breathe", because you feel that breathing is something you are doing voluntarily just in the same way as you might be walking or talking. But you will also notice that when you are not thinking about breathing, your breathing goes on just the same. So the curious thing about breath is that it can be looked at both as a voluntarily and an involuntarily action. You can feel on the one hand "I am doing it" and on the other "It is happening to me". And that is why breathing is the most important part of meditation because it is going to show you as you become aware of your breath that the hard and fast division that we make between what we do on the one hand and what happens to us on the other is arbitrary. So that as you watch your breathing you will become aware that both the voluntary and the involuntary aspects of your experience are all one happening. Now that may at first seem a little scary because you may think "Well am I just a puppet of a happening, the mere passive witness of something that is going on completely beyond my control? Or on the other hand am I really doing everything that's going on? Well if I were I should be God and that would be very embarassing because I will be in charge of everything and that will be a terribly responsible position." The truth as a matter as you will see it is that both things are true. You can see it that everything is happening to you and on the other hand you are doing everything. For example, it's your eyes that are turning the sun into light, it's the nerve ends in your skin that are turning electric vibrations in the air into heat and temperature. It's your eardrums that are turning vibrations in the air into sound and in that way you are creating the world. But when we are not talking about it, when we are not philosophizing about it, then there is just this happening, this [sound of a gong est. 5 sec] and we won't give it a name. Now then, when you breathe for a while, just letting it happen and not forcing it in any way, you will discover a curious thing that without making any effort you can breathe more and more deeply. In other words, supposing you are simply breathing out and breathing out is important because it is the breathe of relaxation as when we give a sigh of relief. So when you are breathing out, you get the sensation that your breath is falling out, dropping, dropping, dropping out with the same sort of feeling you have as if you are settling down in an extremely comfortable bed and you just get as heavy as possible and let yourself go. And you let your breath go out in just that way. And when it's thoroughly comfortably out and it feels like coming back again, you don't pull it back in, you let it fall back in. Letting your lungs expand, expand, expand until they feel very comfortably full and you wait a moment of waiting stay there and then once again you let it fall out. And so in this way you will discover that your breath get quite naturally easier and easier and slower and slower and more and more powerful. So that with these various aids - listening to sound, listening to your own interior feelings and thoughts just as if they were something going on, not something you are doing, but just happenings and watching your breath as happening that is neither voluntarily nor involuntarily, you are simply aware of these basic sensations, then you begin to be in the state of meditation. But don't hurry anything, don't worry about the future, don't worry about what progress you are making, just be entirely content to be aware of what is. Don't be terribly selective, particular say 'I should think of this and not of that'. Just watch whatever is happening.
Paschalis MusicProductionTips,net watch Alan Watts’s video “the real you”. There is no “I”, that is ego. We are all one part of the same whole. We are literal reflections of each other. Mirrors. Whatever you perceive about another is a reflection of yourself.
@@HomeRecordingLessons_com 1. When I die I will be born as a baby forgetting my previous life. 2. When I die a baby will be born. If you believe these two statements say the same thing, then "I" am everyone and everyone is "I"
To anyone trying this for maybe the first time, this is actually a very good meditation re: the concepts he introduces (treating thought as noise, the breath, etc), and is a fantastic place to start. I’d also recommend, just at some point, watching some longer form Sam Harris (and others) videos and learn what thoughts and emotions are in our minds, why trying to shove them down won’t work, and so on. The more you learn about tenants of meditation, the deeper you can explore the concepts and tailor them to your experience down the road. Also Alan Watts is the best. It would’ve been really special to get to see him speak live
guided meditations will definitely help with your focus, also going through points of your body, paying attention to them and relaxing them all until your whole body is completely relaxed can help as well
It’s so interesting; I can clearly remember focusing “on the buzz of the world” as a kid so often. It was so easy to clear my head, be now, like second nature. Only now as an adult do I recognize how beautiful and important that ability is to keep with us until we pass on. The ability to be one with now.
Mr. Watts, You died before I was even born. I never had a chance to ever meet you or hear you speak in person. Yet you are one of the most positive influences in my life to date. Your voice speaking the English language and the topics you speak of are pure bliss. Thank you for being you and having such an impact on my life and so many others.
I was meditating in study hall today beginning with this video and about 5 minutes after this ended (about 20 minutes in) I could feel an eminent event, almost like an approaching presence, and it was almost like I could see an older man standing besides my chair in my mind, and sure enough it was the instructor thinking I was asleep haha it's amazing how aware you can become of the world around you by turning your lens inwards (I also might just be a Jedi so yeah)
Ever heard of the Djedhi? Ancient ascended masters of Egypt, possibly the first to experience their Kundalini awakening and activating their light body. Check out Dark Light Consciousnes- Melanin, Serpent Power and the Luminous Matrix of Reality if you get the chance. You could be onto something ✌
I’m in the middle of a trip and I was starting to feel my ego dissolving in a not so pleasant way, so I tried searching for guided ego death meditation on UA-cam I am so happy that I stumbled upon this, this has helped my mind immensely. Thank you Allan Watts, Rest in peace
For me, I would probably describe brain fog as some sort of mental grogginess I experience. It's mostly an exhausted feeling I have up in my head which is accompanied by a lack of focus/alertness. After meditation I feel calm, as light as a feather, with a clear head. Don't get me wrong, I have to ''start up my system'' up there by getting to work in order to get improved focus after the meditation, so I'm not alert at first. Just calm, light, clear-headed and detached as much as I possibly can from biological desires and social formalities.
Mindful. Everything feel and looks much clearer. I rarely do these guided meditations anymore, but it was good to go back and try one. I feel a calmness that will help me deal with any " negativity" I may possibly encounter today. I try to meditate at least once a day, or twice. I have noticed if I meditate in the a.m. before I pick up a thing or leave the bedroom my days are much brighter. Love and light to you all.
@@Perryfear to me brainfogginess feels like tiredness. like i need to go take a nap before i can think. and it causes some unsettledness in my mind. like i can't concentrate because there is some other issue lurking in the background.
I tried this, and on the back of what I thought were my eyelids starting dancing in very very faint fractals as I was letting go, I felt this shiver through my body, the fractals were gone, but I saw what looked like if you go underwater, the shimmering of light beaming through the murky lens of my perception. It was beautiful, and so calming. For a minute, in my entire life, I felt at peace. :)
Indeed same here there is alot going on in my house at moment and I found this. It gave me peace in my mind for sure. I stopped hearing all the noises around me and felt better when I came back around. I saw a road flying past my eyes at a great speed from above, perhaps It showed me I need to slow down a bit.
I do hate to disagree with someone who I share a love for meditation with, but I completely disagree. Well. I do agree that whomever made this video likely doesn’t know how to truly meditate, but arguing that the music in the background ruins the meditative state is like saying my ego stops me from becoming enlightened. Because we all surely know, there is no ego to get in the way, because it doesn’t exist. And I can’t beat my ego into submission. It’s like, as watts said, trying to straighten water with a flat iron. In fact, Hindu music often includes a droning noise similar to this background music. It represents the Atamn. What is always there. In the back of your mind. In the very deaths of your soul. The droning noise that we are conditioned to ignore. Just some food for thought
I felt myself tap into a higher self. This allowed me to see a scared little boy that has been carried throughout my life with me and set him free. Thank you.
I grew up catholic, but as a young teen I stopped believing. In my high school days, 5 years ago I got into this. I don't know what to call it maybe Buddhism with other religions mixed in. I was taking acid very frequently and meditating and reading as much Buddhist philosophy as could. It was good because it got me to start thinking spiritually again, which I never did after leaving the church. Over time I thought that if I read enough, meditated enough, and tried enough, that I would eventually get to the destination or become enlightened for lack of a better word. But, it never came. About a year or two after getting into Alan watts, and Buddhist thought, I started to look to other places and explore the many different philosophies and religions. I never really knew what Christianity and the bible were about, so out of curiosity, I started to read it and read about it's history. I was fascinated with it and kept learning more about it. And, then there came a point were I knew I had to recognize the divinity of the bible, the spiritual knowledge and power it holds was too much to not accept its message. 4 years later, and I am still a believer, with more faith than ever, and i am the most peaceful I've ever been. I stumbled upon this video again and decided to share my story with you in the hopes that at least one person reads this and gives the bible a shot. You don't have to believe anything, just read some of the books of the bible like you would any other book. Even if you don't end up believing, you will see the immense wisdom in it, and you will gain wisdom and knowledge. I was never able to find peace in Buddhism, Hinduism, and other philosophy like Absurd-ism and Nihilism. But in the bible, I was able to find the peace and joy that I was looking for. If you are curious and want to check out the bible, read the book of John for an account of Jesus' life; The book of Ecclesiastes, Job, and proverbs for wisdom; the book of psalms for the love of God. I pray anyone reading this finds peace.
Alan Watts was brilliant - one of the most important philosopher/ascetics who has ever lived. He has extensive sets of lectures from the 1960's that can be found as seminars in various places, including UA-cam. He gave up everyday material life fairly young to pursue where we had lost our way - and our true connection to the Universe we are woven into; and while he understood WHY people took Magic Mushrooms, L.S.D. and other hallucinogens, and never judged it as 'wrong' or harmful. What he DID equate it to was a shortcut to the top of a mountain, from which you can see glimpses of a truer reality, unfettered by the labels we put on objects all around us, which makes us separate ourselves from everything - but which never allowed us to stay there, because he knew the key to attaining that state at will, or permanently (achieving what Buddhist Monks at the highest level, who attain the highest state of awareness, eventually release their spirit as a "Rainbow Light Body," during which a rainbow streams out of their body - which shrinks and becomes lighter and lighter, until the energy level they have achieved allows them complete connection with Everything, and to no longer need to pursue what our spirits have spent thousands of lifetimes learning to achieve, and their bodies de-materialize. While this may sound a little "Woo-Woo" to many steeped in a Western materialistic point of perspective that we must label everything, associate other things with it, and find a way to USE it, instead of simply BEING, in Unity with a living Universe which is itself a living thing thing. His philosophy was to use spiritual and ancient techniques, like those he discusses here, that allow you to REMAIN in a completely aware state. Anyone who is interested in what he is saying - and can hear how completely relaxing, clarifying and awakening this man was, and taught others to be - should read one of his first books: "The Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are." His last book, before he died, was "Cloud Hidden - Whereabouts unknown," and was one of , if not the most - profound books I have ever read and experienced. He left behind the life of accumulating material possessions, and for the rest of his life, sought to find the Universal, binding Truths underlying all religions and modes of Spirituality. The world is a much poorer, and dreary place without the light that simply shone from the spirit of this man. His lectures and his books are voluminous - we were lucky that he lived in a time of recorded media. His voice was completely genuine - he was a calm, deeply spiritual being who had reached a state of complete awareness that is the end-result of all consciousness life. If interested, please start with book I mentioned above - "The Book..." You won't regret it - it may change your life.
It is the first time in my entire life that I have understood what meditation is, so simply explained. Thanks so much. People who give this kind of information to the world are amazing and great, thank you very much!
Heaven. I've done meditation countless times over the years but Alan grabs my very being and throws it into this place I don't want to leave. UA-cam at its finest
I absolutely love every minute of any video with Alan telling us to let go and live, love and just be. Never needed to hear it more in my life... We can always use a humble reminder that we are not just physical beings, but spiritual beings more than anything, and if we neglect our minds, we neglect our bodies
I absolutely love this video. I have been showing some Alan Watts videos to a recovery group I work with. The wisdom and understanding is unparalleled and so needed in today's world. Thank you for sharing, and God Bless UA-cam.

It is ehm I had a kind of 'Expansion of consciousness' (in German Bewusstsseinserweiterung), I think. I once, on dmt, had an out of body experience, where I saw myself sitting in my room but differently, and I don't know where I was but it was another space from which I saw me. This time, no psychedelic drug, I felt one with all, I got into this state and moved my head in form of some kind of symbol or letter and got to saw more and intensiv colors. Beautiful.
I became both infinitely immense and microscopic simultaneously through this video! Not often I get that deep into a meditation but when I get there it's complete bliss! Thank you for making this.
This was really something. I was in peace with the darkness, I can't explain it. Never feelt so peaceful berore, the meditation worked, no doubt. Thanks for sharing. My first time I really got into it for real:)
I saw a rainbow orb,and if not that it was always a black circle. I breathed so deeply as if i unlocked something. My heart feels warm and I even cried. Awesome experience🤍💯
"Now Then" "In other words" . My Grandma used to start important sentences with "Now then" - for me it represents wisdom now from a reference point in the past. "Well I never!" and "Apple pie without some cheese, is like a hug without a squeeze", were two of her favourite sayings - I miss her.
"If I am talking to you right now, I want you to listen to the sound of my voice just as if it were noise. Don't try to make any sense out of what I'm saying because your brain will take care of that automatically. You don't have to try to understand anything, just listen to the sound." Genius
truthseekerUK I need to read some of his books again, I can remember I did not fully get everything he wrote. But I know there where some very profound “truths” in there, felt like it at least.
I must have listened to this hundreds of times since I discovered it a few years ago. I struggle to wind down for sleep and more often than not this video helps me get to sleep when I need some extra help. Thank you Alan Watts. I wish you were still here, so I could hear your philosophies on the last year.. 💕
Splendid. I just feel rested, calm, and centered after this. The more I listen to it, the longer I find myself staying in a meditative state after it's over.
UA-cam Red is worth it. No ads. Can download videos to see offline. Did I mention no ads? You all who complain about ads probably waste the cost of a monthly subscription on other stuff. It’s worth it. I just listened to this great video. NO ADS HERE.
The music is amazing, This is amazing , it wouldn't be complete with out the music , I will be listening to this over and over again , I love Alan Watts and Osho , this is the best Ive heard , Thanks
2nd week of listening to this every night before sleeping. Everything the experience is an incredible and relaxing full body high. Every part of my body becomes heavy as my heart rate slows and I get a little cotton mouth. When I get a really deep meditation in I'll often find myself laughing or crying about a memory but some how I'm completely at peace with the experience. The human mind is an incredible thing and meditation only assists you in harnessing its power to live a fulfilled life
When I started meditating all of it was new so naturally I was afraid to open to new ideas. I listened for short periods of time then shut it off. NOW, IF I DON'T MEDITATE I GET FURIOUS, I CANNOT SLEEP, IT THROWS A WRENCH IN EVERYTHING. SO LOYAL TO PRAYER, LOYAL TO GOD, LOYAL TO MEDITATION.
I took 3 hits and meditated Best choice I ever made of my life 💯 Feel as if I’ve been enlightened 👁🥺 I cried for hours because I was so scared but happy at the same time I was disgusted with myself but now I will change for what I now kno 💯
@@michaelfox5965 I am planning on doing this soon with shrooms .. How was the experience? Did you find it easy/seamless to get into? How much did you take? Thanks in advance man
I appreciate a dialogue on meditation, but I must add. There is no need to change. If you are the Atman, and the Atman is you and I, you are already the eternal self.
I have listened to this many times he's my favorite human being. Even though he died in nineteen seventy four, he is going to go down as the greatest philosopher of the western civilization last century
AJ you Jedi Wizard. This was fantastic.Blown away actually. When I first got to know you were were this amazing talented beautiful Soul and you still are. Now though you are still all that but now you're a kick ass Chemist. I loved it Brother. You really are a talent AJ and amazingly so the video ends on 444.Amen to that Bro and High Vibes in the highest vibration. The graphics and sound were far out amazing. This is another keeper.This one's going on my Wall and is getting shared. 💫👊❤️🙏🏻
I did my first mediation to this this evening, in the garage with the lights off and some incense. The music bothered me a little, but once Alan stopped speaking it was better and I could practice what he was saying. I feel at peace.
that's not the point, you're not to bow to the creator, you are a part of the creator, the creator is you, but the ego you is not the creator. the 'creator' is the creation, coming through you, me, and every living being, not just some boss who sits on his ass somewhere, that'll be the so-called 'devil' :)
Hansol you will not be disappointed. Whatever your views are on matters of mind, religion, or philosophy...Alan Watts always presented interesting and important perspectives and ideas on a range of topics

Alan Watts' book have a very different rhythm than his talks... I have always been fascinated by the differences arising from my experiences of him in both modalities.
To you, who put this video together, Thank You! The music is perfect, so compelling and relaxing. This video would be far less effective and useful without it, and only half as long. Great job!
Stephen Mattison I was actually wondering where the music was from. Like you, I find that it deepens the experience. I’d actually like to see what a meditation would be like with this music only.
The music is by Jonathan Goldman - prior to and after becoming a reiki practitioner, I listened to JG exclusively. Absolutely captivating and Watts is incredible in his own right. Great combination.
Thank you Dvayers for sharing...I was beginning to think I'm hearing things, haha. This is all the video is...meant to listen, and learn to listen better, until you hear what it is you've been listening for. / The song you hear actually has a lot of versions, the one I'm using is called "Sei He Ki".

This is a beautiful touch
Thank you
I listen to this every night
I fall asleep listening to it.
The perfect thing is the music Sei he ki
It is very relaxing to me.
Can you please tell me who created the art? It’s amazing ❤
Loud advertisements during a UA-cam ASMR or Meditation video say more about modernity than I ever could.
have you tried AdBlock? free and quick to set up. you'll never see a YT add again.
Think of the ad as an outside noise like someone sneezing. Jk
lmao
Go to the end of the video and click the replay button. Ads are all gone.
Nithin Jacob good info but UA-cam monitor everything. The more they see comments like yours, they’ll make it so that doesn’t work anymore.
I'm very grateful to live in a time where I can listen to this from anyplace in the world.
So true❤️
Right ya.
Thank you everyone for creating this platform and sharing it. I found myself very fortunate being in this surrounding. Namaste 👏🏼👏🏼👐🏼
Agreed
And you probably would not need it half as much if you lived in a world where you could not
I'm a therapist and I share this with my clients. Rest Easy, Alan. Your legacy will live on.
I’m a counselor and do the same ❤. There’s a misconception about meditation but Alan did a wonderful job explaining how to activate the present moment state 🙂↕️

hahaha
Exactly

the buzz of the world... is trippy. this entire life experience. the human experience is divine.
What about suffering/almost dying :( hating life
It's fun, isn't it? I'm glad we decided to do it! Now, let's go take care of all this needless suffering we created to overcome! #letsdothis
Haley Haley Its what you make of almost dying and suffering thats important.
Haley Haley cheer up buddy we are all in this together :) im serious, no difference between you and me, we are the same.
you cannot change life, the way the universe is. You must change yourself and morph into a version of you which works in flow with the universe..
Please never take this down. It has brought me so much happiness over the years!
just download it

My thoughts exactly. The internet is so over polluted with advertisements, even meditation isn't safe.
took 2 hits of lsd and this guy just blew my mind. if you see this, comment so i can find these shreds of my trip
hope you had a nice experience dude!!
VerVerbbx it was wonderful. thank you for commenting! now I know who this was!
about to do the same (:
That's something I'd like to try.. Who'd have thunk that all the times I could get a hold of it I wasn't interested in trying it but once I got out of the Army I lost any connections to it now that I'd be interested in experimenting with it
Fox Die thunk? really?
There is something profound everytime Alan Watts says "So then...." or "Now then...." the prelude to lifting the veil on something.
i know! or when he says "in the same way...", i get on the edge of my seat for something epic
or even better, "In EXACTLY the same way...." It's like the wisest man that ever lived revealing an undiscovered truth about life.
the best thing is that 95% of everything i've heard from him i'm like "damn... i already know this, but i didn't understand it until now"

Someone suggested this video to me on reddit... i posted something about trying to minimize negative thoughts, and brought me here. I will try it.
Cheers!
What a brilliant man. If I could meet one person from history it would be Alan!
I am a seeker. I've been meditating over thirty years and am always open to peace, learning, humor, and love. In my life I am so deeply touched by the extraordinary people I am honored to meet as an UBER driver. I look forward to the experiences of driving and hearing incredible new beings and their stories while we are moving and sharing as a form of meditation.
This video slides the bar of relaxation and peace so much further than I can remember. It enhances my overall wellbeing. What a combination to add to these other beautiful life experiences.

Hence why she's meditating for 30 years already.
I have an issue keeping my eyes closed and anticipating an inevitable interruption.
Me too! I'm autistic and have ADHD(oh, and 4 kids haha). I've been trying to meditate for over a year now and can't seem to get anywhere fast. That's okay. I keep finding inspiration to try again. This video is golden. It gives me enough of a distraction to keep my mind occupied with things other than, "what's fixing to happen, how long is this, how many minutes now, what was that noise", etc. Anyhow, I made it through the whole thing. lol That's good for me. Longest I've made it in silence was for 20 minutes and, I shit you not, I started seeing rainbow colored geometrical shapes. I know that sounds nuts; if it is, that's cool, I'm happy.
Apologies for the ramble, I have 4 kids, autism and ADHD. haha
EY3CON U What makes something an interruption is entirely your choice. Even if someone calls your name, you can just sit there, they will eventually realise you aren't responding.
The point is to get to the state where nothing is 'pleasant' or 'unpleasant', where nothing interrupts you, where everything just is 'something'.
One can also ask: What are you being interrupted from? Meditation is basically living but with the dials turned up (more focus). If you get interrupted while living, doesn't that mean you are dead?
Since all happenings happens in the present, being interrupted is latching on to something that happened to examine if it disturbed your being in the present or not. Well since you are sitting there examining if it did that or not, you are answering your own question! Since you are now the one interrupting yourself by seeking to examine if something interrupted you or not! This is the nature of being interrupted, it starts out as just latching on to something, then trying to figure out why that happened and seeking to blame something other than yourself for the loss of concentration.
This is not an easy task, not interrupting yourself, but I truly believe one can accomplish great things by just letting oneself flow forward in time with the eternal happening.
Be honest with yourself, and seek the answers deep inside you! Look long enough and you shall find the nature of your being.
Peace 😊
Merry Dickens awwww after I retire I might try the UBER driver lane!! I love meeting NEW diverse HUMAN BEINGS
Well now, the easiest way to get into the meditative state is to begin by listening. If you simply close your eyes, and allow yourself to hear all the sounds that are going round and round you. Just listen to the general hum and buzz of the world as if you were listening to music. Don't try to identify the sounds you are hearing, don't put names on them, simply allow them to play with your eardrums. And let them go. Now the words you could put it - let your ears hear whatever they want to hear. Don't judge the sounds, there are no as if it were proper sounds or improper sounds and it doesn't matter if somebody coughs or sneezes or drops something. It's all just sound. And if I am talking to you right now and you are doing this I want you to listen to the sound of my voice just as if it were noise. Don't try to make any sense out of what I am saying because your brain will take care of that automatically. You don't have to try to understand anything. Just listen to the sound. As you pursue that experiment, you will very naturally find that you cant help naming sounds, identifying them, that you will go on thinking, that is to say talking to yourself inside your head automatically. But it is important that you don't to repress those thoughts by forcing them out of your mind because that will have precisely the same effect as if you were trying to smooth rough water with a flat iron - you are just going to disturb it all the more. What you do is this - as you hear sounds coming up in your head, thoughts, you simply listen to them as part of the general noise going on just as you'd be listening to the sound of my voice or just as you'd be listening to cars going by or to birds chattering outside the window. So look at your own thoughts as just noises. And soon you will find that the so-called outside world and the so-called inside world come together. They are a happening. Your thoughts are a happening just like the sounds going on outside and everything is simply a happening and all you are doing is watching it.
Now, in this process another thing that is happening that is very important is that you are breathing and as you start meditation you allow your breath to run just as it will. In other words, don't do at first any breathing exercise but just watch your breath breathing the way it wants to breathe. And notice a curious thing about this - you say in the ordinary way "I breathe", because you feel that breathing is something you are doing voluntarily just in the same way as you might be walking or talking. But you will also notice that when you are not thinking about breathing, your breathing goes on just the same. So the curious thing about breath is that it can be looked at both as a voluntarily and an involuntarily action. You can feel on the one hand "I am doing it" and on the other "It is happening to me". And that is why breathing is the most important part of meditation because it is going to show you as you become aware of your breath that the hard and fast division that we make between what we do on the one hand and what happens to us on the other is arbitrary.
So that as you watch your breathing you will become
aware that both the voluntary and the involuntary aspects of your experience are all one happening. Now that may at first seem a little scary because you may think "Well am I just a puppet of a happening, the mere passive witness of something that is going on completely beyond my control? Or on the other hand am I really doing everything that's going on? Well if I were I should be God and that would be very embarassing because I will be in charge of everything and that will be a terribly responsible position." The truth as a matter as you will see it is that both things are true. You can see it that everything is happening to you and on the other hand you are doing everything. For example, it's your eyes that are turning the sun into light, it's the nerve ends in your skin that are turning electric vibrations in the air into heat and temperature. It's your eardrums that are turning vibrations in the air into sound and in that way you are creating the world. But when we are not talking about it, when we are not philosophizing about it, then there is just this happening, this [sound of a gong est. 5 sec] and we won't give it a name.
Now then, when you breathe for a while, just letting it happen and not forcing it in any way, you will discover a curious thing that without making any effort you can breathe more and more deeply. In other words, supposing you are simply breathing out and breathing out is important because it is the breathe of relaxation as when we give a sigh of relief. So when you are breathing out, you get the sensation that your breath is falling out, dropping, dropping, dropping out with the same sort of feeling you have as if you are settling down in an extremely comfortable bed and you just get as heavy as possible and let yourself go. And you let your breath go out in just that way. And when it's thoroughly comfortably out and it feels like coming back again, you don't pull it back in, you let it fall back in. Letting your lungs expand, expand, expand until they feel very comfortably full and you wait a moment of waiting stay there and then once again you let it fall out. And so in this way you will discover that your breath get quite naturally easier and easier and slower and slower and more and more powerful. So that with these various aids - listening to sound, listening to your own interior feelings and thoughts just as if they were something going on, not something you are doing, but just happenings and watching your breath as happening that is neither voluntarily nor involuntarily, you are simply aware of these basic sensations, then you begin to be in the state of meditation. But don't hurry anything, don't worry about the future, don't worry about what progress you are making, just be entirely content to be aware of what is. Don't be terribly selective, particular say 'I should think of this and not of that'. Just watch whatever is happening.

Paschalis MusicProductionTips,net watch Alan Watts’s video “the real you”. There is no “I”, that is ego. We are all one part of the same whole. We are literal reflections of each other. Mirrors. Whatever you perceive about another is a reflection of yourself.

Danimal - It would’ve been amazing to sit and have a conversation with him.
To anyone trying this for maybe the first time, this is actually a very good meditation re: the concepts he introduces (treating thought as noise, the breath, etc), and is a fantastic place to start. I’d also recommend, just at some point, watching some longer form Sam Harris (and others) videos and learn what thoughts and emotions are in our minds, why trying to shove them down won’t work, and so on. The more you learn about tenants of meditation, the deeper you can explore the concepts and tailor them to your experience down the road.
Also Alan Watts is the best. It would’ve been really special to get to see him speak live
Lately I've been stuck in meditation at around 4 minutes in, today i meditated almost this whole video.peace and love to all reading this :)
guided meditations will definitely help with your focus, also going through points of your body, paying attention to them and relaxing them all until your whole body is completely relaxed can help as well
It’s so interesting; I can clearly remember focusing “on the buzz of the world” as a kid so often. It was so easy to clear my head, be now, like second nature. Only now as an adult do I recognize how beautiful and important that ability is to keep with us until we pass on. The ability to be one with now.
Alan watts is one of the wisest persons of this era, an enlightened educator
I’ve been meditating with this for almost 10 years. Simply the best
Mr. Watts,
You died before I was even born. I never had a chance to ever meet you or hear you speak in person. Yet you are one of the most positive influences in my life to date. Your voice speaking the English language and the topics you speak of are pure bliss. Thank you for being you and having such an impact on my life and so many others.
Forever grateful for this meditation & for Alan watts ☮️🧡 more than 50 years after his death it’s still helping many people ❤️
I was meditating in study hall today beginning with this video and about 5 minutes after this ended (about 20 minutes in) I could feel an eminent event, almost like an approaching presence, and it was almost like I could see an older man standing besides my chair in my mind, and sure enough it was the instructor thinking I was asleep haha it's amazing how aware you can become of the world around you by turning your lens inwards (I also might just be a Jedi so yeah)
Fantastic
Ever heard of the Djedhi? Ancient ascended masters of Egypt, possibly the first to experience their Kundalini awakening and activating their light body. Check out Dark Light Consciousnes- Melanin, Serpent Power and the Luminous Matrix of Reality if you get the chance. You could be onto something ✌
Dovahkinn Unicorm you poor boy so much to learn yet Enlightenment is far off for you if you had lost your ego you would not have left a comment

😂
I’m in the middle of a trip and I was starting to feel my ego dissolving in a not so pleasant way, so I tried searching for guided ego death meditation on UA-cam
I am so happy that I stumbled upon this, this has helped my mind immensely.
Thank you Allan Watts, Rest in peace
Love meditating it's completely gets rid of my brain fog
For me, I would probably describe brain fog as some sort of mental grogginess I experience. It's mostly an exhausted feeling I have up in my head which is accompanied by a lack of focus/alertness. After meditation I feel calm, as light as a feather, with a clear head. Don't get me wrong, I have to ''start up my system'' up there by getting to work in order to get improved focus after the meditation, so I'm not alert at first. Just calm, light, clear-headed and detached as much as I possibly can from biological desires and social formalities.
Mindful. Everything feel and looks much clearer. I rarely do these guided meditations anymore, but it was good to go back and try one.
I feel a calmness that will help me deal with any " negativity" I may possibly encounter today. I try to meditate at least once a day, or twice. I have noticed if I meditate in the a.m. before I pick up a thing or leave the bedroom my days are much brighter. Love and light to you all.
Noah Ali - agreed
@@Perryfear to me brainfogginess feels like tiredness. like i need to go take a nap before i can think. and it causes some unsettledness in my mind. like i can't concentrate because there is some other issue lurking in the background.
I tried this, and on the back of what I thought were my eyelids starting dancing in very very faint fractals as I was letting go, I felt this shiver through my body, the fractals were gone, but I saw what looked like if you go underwater, the shimmering of light beaming through the murky lens of my perception. It was beautiful, and so calming. For a minute, in my entire life, I felt at peace. :)
Indeed same here there is alot going on in my house at moment and I found this. It gave me peace in my mind for sure. I stopped hearing all the noises around me and felt better when I came back around. I saw a road flying past my eyes at a great speed from above, perhaps It showed me I need to slow down a bit.
Allan: all you have to do is listen to the sounds around you.
*loud background music starts to play drowning out the enviroment*
yeah whomever made this has no idea how to meditate
I do hate to disagree with someone who I share a love for meditation with, but I completely disagree. Well. I do agree that whomever made this video likely doesn’t know how to truly meditate, but arguing that the music in the background ruins the meditative state is like saying my ego stops me from becoming enlightened. Because we all surely know, there is no ego to get in the way, because it doesn’t exist. And I can’t beat my ego into submission. It’s like, as watts said, trying to straighten water with a flat iron. In fact, Hindu music often includes a droning noise similar to this background music. It represents the Atamn. What is always there. In the back of your mind. In the very deaths of your soul. The droning noise that we are conditioned to ignore. Just some food for thought
Version without music ua-cam.com/video/PxJ0N2vq2GM/v-deo.html
Fricking right?! lol
@@johnmathewson6630 Its just the volume of the music, dude, its pretty loud.
Alan watts is the person that finally calms my mind. I start to think less over time which results in having less things im afraid of
I felt myself tap into a higher self. This allowed me to see a scared little boy that has been carried throughout my life with me and set him free.
Thank you.
I grew up catholic, but as a young teen I stopped believing. In my high school days, 5 years ago I got into this. I don't know what to call it maybe Buddhism with other religions mixed in. I was taking acid very frequently and meditating and reading as much Buddhist philosophy as could. It was good because it got me to start thinking spiritually again, which I never did after leaving the church. Over time I thought that if I read enough, meditated enough, and tried enough, that I would eventually get to the destination or become enlightened for lack of a better word. But, it never came. About a year or two after getting into Alan watts, and Buddhist thought, I started to look to other places and explore the many different philosophies and religions. I never really knew what Christianity and the bible were about, so out of curiosity, I started to read it and read about it's history. I was fascinated with it and kept learning more about it. And, then there came a point were I knew I had to recognize the divinity of the bible, the spiritual knowledge and power it holds was too much to not accept its message. 4 years later, and I am still a believer, with more faith than ever, and i am the most peaceful I've ever been.
I stumbled upon this video again and decided to share my story with you in the hopes that at least one person reads this and gives the bible a shot. You don't have to believe anything, just read some of the books of the bible like you would any other book. Even if you don't end up believing, you will see the immense wisdom in it, and you will gain wisdom and knowledge.
I was never able to find peace in Buddhism, Hinduism, and other philosophy like Absurd-ism and Nihilism. But in the bible, I was able to find the peace and joy that I was looking for.
If you are curious and want to check out the bible, read the book of John for an account of Jesus' life; The book of Ecclesiastes, Job, and proverbs for wisdom; the book of psalms for the love of God. I pray anyone reading this finds peace.
Alan Watts was brilliant - one of the most important philosopher/ascetics who has ever lived. He has extensive sets of lectures from the 1960's that can be found as seminars in various places, including UA-cam. He gave up everyday material life fairly young to pursue where we had lost our way - and our true connection to the Universe we are woven into; and while he understood WHY people took Magic Mushrooms, L.S.D. and other hallucinogens, and never judged it as 'wrong' or harmful. What he DID equate it to was a shortcut to the top of a mountain, from which you can see glimpses of a truer reality, unfettered by the labels we put on objects all around us, which makes us separate ourselves from everything - but which never allowed us to stay there, because he knew the key to attaining that state at will, or permanently (achieving what Buddhist Monks at the highest level, who attain the highest state of awareness, eventually release their spirit as a "Rainbow Light Body," during which a rainbow streams out of their body - which shrinks and becomes lighter and lighter, until the energy level they have achieved allows them complete connection with Everything, and to no longer need to pursue what our spirits have spent thousands of lifetimes learning to achieve, and their bodies de-materialize. While this may sound a little "Woo-Woo" to many steeped in a Western materialistic point of perspective that we must label everything, associate other things with it, and find a way to USE it, instead of simply BEING, in Unity with a living Universe which is itself a living thing thing. His philosophy was to use spiritual and ancient techniques, like those he discusses here, that allow you to REMAIN in a completely aware state. Anyone who is interested in what he is saying - and can hear how completely relaxing, clarifying and awakening this man was, and taught others to be - should read one of his first books: "The Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are." His last book, before he died, was "Cloud Hidden - Whereabouts unknown," and was one of , if not the most - profound books I have ever read and experienced. He left behind the life of accumulating material possessions, and for the rest of his life, sought to find the Universal, binding Truths underlying all religions and modes of Spirituality. The world is a much poorer, and dreary place without the light that simply shone from the spirit of this man. His lectures and his books are voluminous - we were lucky that he lived in a time of recorded media. His voice was completely genuine - he was a calm, deeply spiritual being who had reached a state of complete awareness that is the end-result of all consciousness life. If interested, please start with book I mentioned above - "The Book..." You won't regret it - it may change your life.
It is the first time in my entire life that I have understood what meditation is, so simply explained. Thanks so much. People who give this kind of information to the world are amazing and great, thank you very much!
I actually had a wave of euphoria flow through me listening to your creation, Alan would be proud of you.
bridgendesar so glad you said that ,me to about 15 mins in was such a pure and happy feeling!

If you're listening to this... you're grateful to be alive!!
Might be one of the best meditations on UA-cam of all time.
Heaven. I've done meditation countless times over the years but Alan grabs my very being and throws it into this place I don't want to leave. UA-cam at its finest
I absolutely love every minute of any video with Alan telling us to let go and live, love and just be. Never needed to hear it more in my life... We can always use a humble reminder that we are not just physical beings, but spiritual beings more than anything, and if we neglect our minds, we neglect our bodies
thats right.
Why this is nothing, what you have to feel is in you. Absolutely that is the stupid thing i would go
Seera - We all should take the time to slow the chaos of the worlds distractions.
I absolutely love this video. I have been showing some Alan Watts videos to a recovery group I work with. The wisdom and understanding is unparalleled and so needed in today's world. Thank you for sharing, and God Bless UA-cam.

I like this and I listen to it often.
It is ehm I had a kind of 'Expansion of consciousness' (in German Bewusstsseinserweiterung), I think.
I once, on dmt, had an out of body experience, where I saw myself sitting in my room but differently, and I don't know where I was but it was another space from which I saw me.
This time, no psychedelic drug,
I felt one with all, I got into this state and moved my head in form of some kind of symbol or letter and got to saw more and intensiv colors. Beautiful.
I became both infinitely immense and microscopic simultaneously through this video! Not often I get that deep into a meditation but when I get there it's complete bliss! Thank you for making this.
dont talk....
This was really something. I was in peace with the darkness, I can't explain it. Never feelt so peaceful berore, the meditation worked, no doubt. Thanks for sharing. My first time I really got into it for real:)
very insightful man, his delivery on his speeches are exellent
I love it... i need to start to relax my mind because im always in the go go go..but this is very helpful!!!

This is definitely one of the better meditation videos and his voice is both reassuring and relaxing
thank you for the wonderful experience, for some reason I got emotional towards the end and started crying happy tears as the video finished
Same
"Now Then" "In other words" . My Grandma used to start important sentences with "Now then" - for me it represents wisdom now from a reference point in the past. "Well I never!" and "Apple pie without some cheese, is like a hug without a squeeze", were two of her favourite sayings - I miss her.
Love this, thanks Julian for recommending this to me.
This is the most reliable thing to bring me into meditation without a thought .. it's amazing

Genius
Took me years to begin to understand watts, but it was well worth it
truthseekerUK
I need to read some of his books again, I can remember I did not fully get everything he wrote. But I know there where some very profound “truths” in there, felt like it at least.
Same here took 3 years and still on way
This never fails to get me out of a panic attack.
I must have listened to this hundreds of times since I discovered it a few years ago. I struggle to wind down for sleep and more often than not this video helps me get to sleep when I need some extra help. Thank you Alan Watts. I wish you were still here, so I could hear your philosophies on the last year.. 💕
Hello Helen .... How are you, you're looking beautiful

I can't thank you enough for posting these Alan Watts videos.. truly inspiring.
2nd week of listening to this every night before sleeping. Everything the experience is an incredible and relaxing full body high. Every part of my body becomes heavy as my heart rate slows and I get a little cotton mouth. When I get a really deep meditation in I'll often find myself laughing or crying about a memory but some how I'm completely at peace with the experience. The human mind is an incredible thing and meditation only assists you in harnessing its power to live a fulfilled life
Helped me to meditate for the first time, what a bliss! Thanks alot
When I started meditating all of it was new so naturally I was afraid to open to new ideas. I listened for short periods of time then shut it off. NOW, IF I DON'T MEDITATE I GET FURIOUS, I CANNOT SLEEP, IT THROWS A WRENCH IN EVERYTHING. SO LOYAL TO PRAYER, LOYAL TO GOD, LOYAL TO MEDITATION.
The music is epic. Perfectly suited for my tastes. Allan is the beast of truth!
Namaste
I absolutely love the music paired with Alan's words. Thanks--- I was looking for just such a video.

the 'creator' is the creation, coming through you, me, and every living being, not just some boss who sits on his ass somewhere, that'll be the so-called 'devil' :)

Damn. I have to get around to reading this guy's books.

I regularly listen to his speeches to get insight on how to better my mental health. I'm excited to know he has books too 😁
Alan Watts' book have a very different rhythm than his talks... I have always been fascinated by the differences arising from my experiences of him in both modalities.
I search for his books too, his speeches are so powerfull and goes deeply in the soul
To you, who put this video together, Thank You! The music is perfect, so compelling and relaxing. This video would be far less effective and useful without it, and only half as long. Great job!
Stephen Mattison I was actually wondering where the music was from. Like you, I find that it deepens the experience. I’d actually like to see what a meditation would be like with this music only.
The music is by Jonathan Goldman - prior to and after becoming a reiki practitioner, I listened to JG exclusively. Absolutely captivating and Watts is incredible in his own right. Great combination.
ginny lidlow I've meditated and performed reiki to this exact song and it was magnificent.
Jessica DeCorpo and do you also know what this song is called?
@@tommywiseau4709 I believe it is Sei He Ki off his Reiki Chants album.
As soon as I opened my eyes I've never felt so good thank you
Alan Watts is incredible. More people should listen to his messages. They are fundamental.
