Alan Watts meditation

From Watts' book Still The Mind that I wanted to share:

"When you realize that you have come to your wit's end, you can begin mediation. Or meditation happens, and that is simply the watching of what is, of all the information conveyed to you by your exterior and interior senses, and even the thoughts that keep chattering on about it all. You don't try to stop those thoughts, you just let them run as if they were birds twittering outside, and they will eventually become tired and stop. But don't worry about whether they do or don't. Just simply watch whatever it is that you are feeling, thinking, or experiencing--that's it. Just watch it, and don't go out of your way to put any names on it. This is really what meditation is. You are in meditation in an eternal present, and you are not expecting any result. You are not doing it to improve yourself, because you found that you can't."
