I try, to wherever possible, to include meditation in my morning routine. Shower, stretch then meditate. I prefer guided meditation (I use Calm) which generally lasts for 10-12 minutes. Then I feel ready for the day 😊

At least 20 minutes, sometimes up to 45 minutes. I like to make sure I’ve quieted my mind and removed all of the distractions of the day, or get in a frame of mind where I can watch the thoughts drift by without bothering me.

I’m just starting to meditate and I think the more practise you do the longer it could be. I’ve done around 5-10 mins so far. Hoping to practice is more regularly

I enjoy meditating for rounds of about 10-15 minutes. I’d rather go for short sessions for multiple times during the day rather than just one longer session. I feel like doing that helps me feeling more centered and present.

I like to Meditate for 20 minutes. I use Headspace to do it and find that the shorter versions aren’t quite long enough for me to drop in to the experience properly

I like to meditate for at least 15 minutes. Sometimes it’s hard to put aside longer periods of time but for me I find it easier to do it for that amount.

15 minutes in the morning and15 minutes in the evening. If I’m feeling particularly aware, I might etend it up to 30 minutes

Depends some days just a quick 3-5min session helps others I’ll do little sessions and end my day with a 15-30min session

I started with 5 minutes, and realized that was when I started to really get focused. So I moved up to 7 minutes and hopefully will get to 10 by the end of the week.

I find myself meditating for very long periods of time or very short periods of time. There’s never really a grey area for my meditation. I like to ask myself what am I looking for with the time; am i trying to release some stress before going to sleep or am I trying to have a deeper understanding of my day? Sometimes is as short as 5 minutes because I just need to sit down and focus on my breathing before I keep going with my day.
