As long as you are practicing correctly, the more you meditate each day, the better. This is why some hermits live in solitude; they reduce their distractions so that they are able to meditate as much as possible.
3-10 minutes a day
It depends. There are some Buddhists (monks, in particular) who spend many hours each day meditating. There are others who adhere to Buddhist ritual who do not meditate at all.
To meditate, to get ready for the day ahead, think about the positive points of the day. Focus on the things that you are looking forward to that can help you get through the day.
Some Buddhists meditate all day every day (the monks living in the forest, mainly found in china do that). Others meditate twice a day, once in the morning and once in the night and on full moons. Some meditate only once a day, and some only meditate when they have time to do so. But it is really not specific, but most buddhists try to always meditate on the night of a full moon. And the meditation is worship.
Buddhist monk in retreat is about 8-12 hours a day, out of retreat 3 to 5 hours daily. actually it depends on monks, many of them have break after one hour session. some of them is 1 hour in thé morning, one hour at the evening.
First thing is that it is not compulsory to meditate in Islam but there is no such rule that Muslims should not meditate. Meditation can done at any place there is no specific place for meditation, You can meditate in home, work(when you are free), or any where else.
Yes, it makes no difference. You can meditate in whichever postition you want, as long as you are comfortable.
The Buddha did teach that people should meditate -- but very specific forms of meditation, not just any old meditation.
Meditation does not cure diseases, but it will help with anxiety and depression and other stress-related problems. You can experience positive effects after only one session, but in order to have long-term effects, you should meditate regularly for at least 30 minutes at a time.
Based on what has worked for me for the past 20+ years is "Meditation". Genesis24v63, Isaac went out to meditate. Psalms5v1, Give ear to my words, O Lord in his law doth he meditate day and night. Psalms119v15 I will meditate in thy percepts. Psalms119v23 Thy servant did meditate in thy statues.
The more you meditate, the more beneficial your practice will be. Whether they are meditating formally (for example, in a cross-legged sitting posture) or not, master meditators are always meditating. The idea is to take the calm clarity of mind produced by formal meditation and extend it throughout all your activities.
I choose to meditate in this moment.
