Darkness and Light: 108 Days of Meditation — 2017
This year we are incorporating the 108 days as an integral part of our winter intensive. For more info on the intensive contact Eve or Genyo.
We support each other in the commitment to meditate every day from Jan. 17 to May 5. All are welcome.
* The goal is primarily to strengthen our meditation practice, and build our concentration-power (samadhi, joriki). In accord with the theme of the intensive, we meditate with all of ourselves, the dark and the light.
* The basic agreement is to meditate everyday for 108 days. The traditional practice is one hour per day. If you can do this, that’s great, but if that is not possible, then commit to what you can do. The key is consistency, and to build ones practice.
* You can break your daily meditation into two or more periods.
* Walking meditation can be included.
* A couple missed days are acceptable, although it is preferable to squeeze in at least some minutes of practice on those days.
* If for some reason you are not able to succeed fully with these commitments, we encourage you to keep going nonetheless and do your best for the entire 108 says, since the main goal is to support ones practice and build joriki. At the end we will honor everyone who has undertaken the journey. We will have a closing ceremony on May 6, location and time TBA.
Ongoing support is available. Consider joining us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/108Days
