I\u2019ve done entire days of meditation, I\u2019ve gone months with out doing it too. Life happens. You test and find what is right for you. I find that shorter (10 min or less) are good for morning and afternoon, after a stressful day at work I\u2019ll do a 30 minute decompression meditation, and quite frequently I do a body scan meditation at night. Insight timer has worked well for me, I tend to prefer guided meditations over silent meditations, I\u2019m starting to get to a place where I have the guided mediations I prefer memorized, I can take those journeys any time and lead me into a silent meditation. I\u2019ve accepted that meditation isn\u2019t the absence of feeling or thoughts, but rather the total and absolute acceptance of their existence, so absolute that they pass seemlessly through my mind like a sweet breeze. Other times they\u2019re jarring and shocking like lightning and thunder, it\u2019s like some thought has dominated, just hidden. But now that it\u2019s out, I get to work at it in my meditation practices, until it drifts as calmly as a cloud through my mind. It doesn\u2019t matter how many times you meditate. The duration and the type that\u2019s insignificant. The mindfulness and peace is what you are seeking. If it only takes you 30 seconds, then that\u2019s an amazing meditation. Sometimes you will find you walk through your life meditating. Disregard your expectations. Don\u2019t hold on to any idea of what it should be. Just allow it to be what you need at that moment. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Sandra O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">3, sort of. In the morning I&#39;ll use my exercise time for dynamic meditation, in the afternoons I&#39;ll use a break at work to collect myself and create a sense of stillness via static meditation. In the evenings I&#39;ll utilize static meditation to reflect on the events of the day and critique my moods and reactions to various stimuli.  So I meditate 3 times, but in vastly different ways. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sigmund U.
