The Art of Meditation – Alan Watts (VHS)

The Art of Meditation – Alan Watts

“Meditation has no purpose, no objective, except to be entirely here and now.” — Alan Watts

A rare and beautiful meditation guide from one of the 20th century’s most beloved interpreters of Eastern philosophy for the Western mind. Alan Watts — philosopher, author, and authority on Zen, Taoism, and Eastern spiritual practice — brings his characteristic wit, depth, and warmth to the art of meditation in this visually stunning 50-minute video.

While Watts explains practical techniques including breathing, posture, and the chanted “aum” mantra, the experience is as much visual as instructional — his words accompanied by a kaleidoscope of extraordinarily beautiful natural imagery that draws the viewer naturally into stillness.
