I used to meditate twice a day for 10 minutes each. Morning meditation gives me more peaceful and pleasant mind than that of the evening.

Right now I do it once a day. I do it when I get up in the morning. So like after I’ve drank my water and stretch I meditate. The length just really depends on how I’m feeling. But it can be any where from 5-15 mins. If within that meditation I feel like going longer, I don’t fight the feeling and just keep going until I feel complete with it.

I meditate in the morning typically for 5 to 10 minutes. Sometimes I also meditate after exercising and stretching in the evening, again for about 5 minutes.

Due to a usually very occupied agenda, I have to be as efficient as possible in the use of my time. So I set the goal to meditate at least once per day for 10 to 15 minutes. Somedays is easier than others!

At least once a day. If I’m in a rush as short as 2 minutes Other times up to 5 times a day and for me each sessions about 20-15 minutes They all count

I meditate twice a day in 3-15 minute sessions, depending on how much time I have. I use a combination of the Headspace and Fabulous apps. I have been meditating at least once a day since 1 January.

I only meditate at night because I want to clear my mind before going to sleep and I do it for five minutes. I usually don’t have time to meditate during the day but I always have this day in the month that I call the self care day. In the self care day I meditate more than one time in the day and I also do it one time during the day and I try to meditate for a longer time.

I meditate once a day as soon as I get up and have a drink of water for 10 minutes. I’m thinking of increasing the time to 15 minutes because I feel I’m not getting the most out of it first thing in the morning. Arnold Schwarzenegger meditates twice a day for 20 minutes each I think.

I tend to meditate just once a day for around 10 minutes, but it really depends how stressed I am. If I am more stressed, I use meditation whenever I feel I need it during the day, although usually this only lasts around 30 seconds to a minute. The length of time and how long you meditate for is completely up to you: you may find to begin with you are only able to manage a couple of minutes, but this will build as you develop your skill. It helps to have a set time for meditation (I often do it just before I go to sleep), so you remember to do it once a day. If you have been trying meditation for a few months and find it still isn’t working for you, I would suggest you either try a different method of meditation (there are lots of suggestions online) or acknowledge meditation isn’t for you and try a different calming activity instead. Basically try meditation whenever and for the length you find suits you. Not the same length and time suits everyone!
