How long should I meditate?

Modified on Wed, 19 Aug at 10:34 AM

When beginning a daily meditation practice, it is important to meditate in short, frequent sessions. A good guideline is to practice less than you know you can, i.e, break up with meditation before it breaks up with you. Letting practice sessions be short keeps your meditation fresh while repeating it many times enhances your meditation. As you progress, slowly increase the time spent in formal meditation as well as applying awareness, short times, many times, in your daily life.
