A lot of people like meditating in the morning to start the day right. I actually like doing it in the evening to go over my day and let it all go before I sleep.

I like to meditate in the morning, it helps to set the tone for the day. And a quick 10-15 minute meditation at night can help calm the stress of the day and aid in restful sleep too.

Meditation seems to be best right before bed. I began meditating to help with my sleep concerns. While meditating any time helps improve my sense of wellbeing, it has the most effect on my rest right before bed. I can sit up in bed after reflecting and writing down my daily gratitude. Then, I can use a pillow as a meditation cushion and complete my evening routine with a short meditation.

The morning. It allows you to start off the day by centering yourself and bring awareness to the things you need to all day.

I prefer meditating in the morning before the start of the day. It’s a great way to get your head in the right space while at the same time preparing to tackle whatever the day may throw your way. It’s a reminder to be mindful of your actions and reactions before interruptions and the chaos of every day.

2:15 – I’ve just digested lunch, the bulk of my work has been taken care of for the day – I have a calendar reminder on my phone that I’m much more likely to heed at work when I really do need a break than at home where I’m already relaxed

I find doing it first thing in the morning and last thing before bed is a great way to meditate. Morning meditation sets the vibe and intention for your day. Before bed meditation plants the seed of change in your brain so that it gets better absorbed in your subconscious. If I’m really out of focus during the day I will stop and breathe to clear my mind.

I think the morning is a great time to meditate in order to start the day off clear minded and energized.

I like to meditate in the morning because it gets me ready for the day, but I also enjoy meditating right before I go to bed. I feel that this practice prepares me and my mind to slow down and relax.

For my main daily meditation, I find a routinized morning time the best…However, throughout the day, whenever needed is great as well.
