Great; I live in mountain time (MT) in the USA, and now that the daylight is mandated for the whole nation, I assume that "MT" actually means "MDT (mountain Daylight Time". We used to distinguish "MT" or "MDT" according to whether we had changed yet. The reasoning was that some states had daylight savings time and others didn't. So in an email you would say "7PM MDT", or "7PM MT".

So now we have to turn off automatic daylight time adjustments on our computers and do it manually, otherwise our computers will be wrong FOUR times a year!
What a pain.

Thanks for working this out, Shanti.
however, I think there are some countries that don't have daylight savings time (KISS and smart).
Maybe we should schedule according to Greenwich Mean time?

Hello everyone, I would really appreciate joining in with the meditation tomorrow if that is ok. I am in the UK and having read through the posts my understanding is that I would sit and start my meditation at 4.15.

Looking forward to it!

That's right but remember thats the actual meditation any other practices like Spinal breathing or Asana's should be started earlier so you are ready to med at 4.15.

Happy to have you with us

Great!

I am currently doing 12-15 mins deep meditation, and was about to add a couple of minutes spinal breathing tomorrow. I will time my deep meditation to start at 4.15 in the UK.

Looking forward to it

For as long as you do in your normal meditation session. Some who are very sensitive meditate only for 5 or 10 min... some do the full 20 min... but we all start at the same time.

Thanks All,

I sat and did my deep meditation at 4.15. It was good to know others were doing it at the same time as a group. I did not feel anything particular, but knowing I was a part of the group was good.

As an aside, today I added some spinal breathing to my practice. What a difference it makes. The mantra has slowed down considerably, as has my mind...

So our meditation times for 08th, 14th, 15th, 21st, 22nd and 28th March will be:

8.15 am PT (USA)
9.15 am MT(USA)
10.15 am CT(USA)

4.15 pm Norway <===== 03/08/09 thru 03/28/09
4.15pm Germany <===== 03/08/09 thru 03/28/09
