i think you should meditate when you think you need it the most and when you feel the urge to be still and relax

People rush rush rush all the time. Especially during the holidays. Be still, be present, take care of yourself.

All his life has he looked away... to the future, to the horizon. Never his mind on where he was. Hmm? What he was doing.

Just like everything else in Jediism. It's personal/individual.

Holidays are far far FAR from relaxing (this christmas has been nothing but sucky for the last two weeks - as was every other holiday this year) <--- It is just a matter of perspective and individual circumstance as well as method of practice.

Meditation for me isn't some sit down marathon where I fold my legs, close my eyes and hum 'Ommmmmm' for 45 minuets.

It is just something i do.

All the time.

24/7.

Because meditation to me is the awareness of the now and being at peace with it. And I define peace differently from most people too (Peace doesn't = satisfaction. Peace = acceptance) In other words. I accept that I was forced to stay awake for 20 hours to work a job, make money and satisfy people's social expectations and give my daughters a chance at having more fun than I. I accept that I was miserable. I accept that I struggled. I accept that I - this that and the third because at every second of my life I am at the very very least........Breathing.

^ Please understand I am not giving my woe story as a method for sympathy....but an example of how Meditation can vary no matter your situation or circumstance or time of year.^

However

That in mind. There has been a traditional meditation for many years in Jediism called the "Meditation Relay" Alethea Johnson is usually the one running it. The idea is to find people to cover every hour for 24 hours of the New year to meditate and welcome the new year. I havn't seen her doing that this year though....

The secret to gain all the benefits of meditation is regularity.

For many years I set up a "Meditation Relay" for the Force Realists Community to participate in on New Years Day. This year it's just a day of meditation.
