In November, you can join lots of meditators meditating and then hear some ace meditators discussing meditation as it filters down to us from different traditions and its relevance today. I have heard that when you meditate, you join all those meditating and all those who have ever meditated through the established forms of meditation. That isn't a bad deal when you think about it, it is better than being with a good bank, its gives you spiritual capital beyond your own meagre offerings. This also means that meditation isn't confined to the time your are meditating, it would seem to have a cumulative effect, to have a substance which can be added to and which you can resort to when your own efforts are depleted through illness or press of worldly events.
So, on November 20th, think about joining in wherever you are, or come to S Martin-in-the-Fields in London and listen to 4 people who practice and value meditation and mindfulness speaking from their understanding and experience of meditation. To find out more go to www.justthisday.org and register or say what you might do.
Of course just this day applies to each day, each day is Just THIS day.
