How I get myself into a deep meditation - An Alan Watts Perspective

from A Functional Approach with Dr. Jim Chialtas · host Jim Chialtas, DACM, L.Ac.

In this 123rd episode, I offer a meditation of sorts. It occurred to me recently that I mention the practice of meditation, I recommend it to my patient as part of their wellness programs, I practice it myself, but many people don't know how to even get into a meditation! Failure is more common than success, unfortunately, when it comes to a meditation practice. I offer this instructional episode to help the listener gain some valuable tools that can aid in the success of a meditation practice. This is just one way I find success. Of course meditation is a very big word with a lot of meanings. But I find this method to be one of the easiest ways to sink in quickly. And, I must give credit where credit is due... This episode was heavily influenced by the teachings of the late eastern philosopher Alan Watts. A favorite of mine. If you haven't read any of his books or listened to any of his lectures, I highly encourage you to do so. I read my first Alan Watts book entitled "The Wisdom of Insecurity" in the 9th grade, and he has been with me ever since. I hope you enjoy! Go out and meditate!!!
