Something else I considered was having Meditate act like Power Up; making it a turn-ender that benefits from being used first.

3M = 50% Ski
4M = 100%
5M = 150%
6M = 200%
7M = 250%

etc etc.

This would, in essence, make it not worth using later in the turn, while not making it unusable by people suffering from fevers, over-encumbered, etc should they desperately need it. While this doesn't directly address the Shukuchi issue, it does indirectly add an incentive to not do that.
