You are correct that "zen" can mean Zen Buddhism in Japan. However, in this video, "zen" means to be in a state of calm and relaxation. She keeps an amethyst crystal next to her bath tub so that she can feel calm and relaxed. Ex: Meditation helps her feel zen. Ex: I find my zen in yoga; it helps me to feel very calm and relaxed.
