A benefit of the holidays' timing as the year's punctuation mark is that they happen to coincide with all of these best-of-the-year roundups. So just when you have the greatest need for meditation and the least amount of time to actually meditate—much less track down a specific technique you want to try—we have conveniently aggregated the best brain-boosting, mind-settling, and Self-illuminating practices we published this year. Happy holidays!
