A Lammas Meditation
Meditation can be a funny thing. Some say it has to be done under specific conditions, others say it has to be done with a specific unvarying ritual; my experience is that it can be done any place and by any means that works for you.

To frame it from an Eastern point of view ritual is part of the Tao of humanity.
