How much time should I Meditate?
How much time should I Meditate?
When you first start to meditate 5-10 minutes per day is a good start. Then begin to increase to 20 minutes per day if you can. Shorter regular meditation is more beneficial than 30-60 minutes once a week.
Try to keep to a regular time if possible.
Incorporate meditation into your daily life as you would eat nourishing food and regular exercise.
Old Zen Adage "You should sit in meditation for 20 minutes every day - unless your too busy: then you should sit for an hour".
