Alan Watts believed the basic principles of meditation were a form of centering oneself in the Eternal Now, employing the use of watching, breathing, and chanting to relieve one’s consciousness from discursive thinking and thus experience reality as it is, as distinct from the way it is described – so coming to realize one’s own identity with the eternal energy of the universe.
