Do you think you need to have a space and set time for meditation. Does it help?

That really depends on how you work best. If setting is very important to you, then definitely have a specific space. If not, you can meditate anywhere. As for time, I’ve found that I’m more likely to meditate if it becomes part of a routine, but my schedule shifts sometimes making a set time difficult. What’s been most successful for me is saying "when I wake up" or "right before sleep" as opposed to "7am".

Absolutely. Having specific time and space keeps my routine going but I will meditate whenever I find any time or in a stressful situation

I use a long meditation following breakfast. Before lunch I benefit from another session. I usually meditate prior to dleep

There is no need to have a space prepared for meditation however setting time for meditation really helps to practice it regularly.

I think that having a regular time for meditation will allow you to do it more easily and automatically. Having a space is less important but if you do choose a special meditation spot and make a regular meditation time, as long as you show up, your practice will be consistent.

Yes, I think setting up a small area dedicated to meditation is important because it makes it easier to clear your thoughts when you’ve set aside a places for mental pace. Likewise, practicing at the same time each day makes it easier to be consistent.

It does help you remember and get ised to meditiation and geel more comfortable with it, so I would absolutlely recommend it, but don’t worry if, for a day, you cant do it at your usual time, as it is more important to actually practice meditation than worry about time and space.

I have my space at home with my special meditation gear , and it is usually good to have a specified time for meditation. But sometimes , I do meditation every where like if the office is quiet. Or sometimes I do short meditations throughout the day

At first it did, but now I can meditate anywhere

I tend to even practice meditation or calming down in noisy areas. At times and places of noisy, difficult to concentrate, focus or think. By simply closing my eyes, getting into my calm world, very peaceful, soul lifting world. I wander around there, talk to myself, walk in the garden of my mind, think of my blessings and the good things, what I can do, my aims and goals, etc then come back to reality
