I practice every day for about 21 minutes and sometimes for 42 minutes . But it is important to emphasize that a minute of meditation that you can take throughout the day can also be very effective . <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Delores E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I love meditating first thing in the morning, and every time I feel pressure, or have negative thoughts, or have something important to accomplish. It is a powerful tool to reprogram your mind in the most successful way.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Nils N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I do t think of an optimal amount of meditation but I am learning to meditate when I need to recenter myself and I hope by living more in the present to be more centered.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Greg G.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Daily is best especially if meditation is new to you. Even if it is used mostly to unwind and relax, who doesn\u2019t need that every day?<br \/>\nWhen used for soul searching and undoing bad habits you will need time to chip away at those little by little, day after day.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ian T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">5 minutes, once a day, put a reminder somewhere and find something that will help you meditate. It works. It took me 28 years but it works!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Sandra C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I want  to eliminate the toxin from the body and help to control the mind and release tension and black magic from the body and through it<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Carl S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think 5 or 10 minutes each day.i prefer 5 mins for first week or 2 weeks,and then 10 mins.its up to u.there is no competetion;)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Morgan N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I do 12  minutes, but I&#39;m planning in doing a little more.

As you build the calmness you could do anywhere from 30 mins to an hour <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Laurine S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think once a day is fine. With meditation, it&#39;s the quality rather than the quantity that matters. One good deep ten minute session is better than two crappy one-hour sessions.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Dorian Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Everyday. Even twice a day but begin small. 5 to 10 minutes daily. Once the habit gets consolidated you can increase the amount of time. Maybe once a week you can try even a long meditation (30 to 45 minutes)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Dafne P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">For me at least 15 mins of meditation a day.
