How many minutes u meditate daily?

Astronaut Dad

4y

An hour a day at least
But even 10 minutes a day can be good enough. If you push yourself too hard at first you’ll miss the point. It’s supposed to be a deeply relaxing process, like sinking into a pond not something you struggle with and another “thing” you aren’t doing that’s making you feel like s*** for not completing your goals etc. I’m of the opinion that if meditating is making your mental health worse you should stop and take a break for a while until it becomes beneficial again. I used to try to do sitting meditation too much and practice mindfulness all day everyday to the point it gave me anxiety fr. You gotta find a personal balance for these things

Yea u cant force it. Id go as far as to say it aint even a relaxing experience alot of the time. atleast in the tibetan perspective.

Its more just acceptance and awareness of whatever is going on in ur mind and body at the moment, and in turn that acceptance most likely leads to the deep relaxation. One monk meditated every time he had a panic attack, and one day they just ceased

“If we keep thinking of the future, of what we want to realize, we will lose our steps. The same is true with sitting meditation. We sit just to enjoy our sitting; we do not sit in order to attain any goal. This is quite important”
