How long should one meditate?

The length of your meditation session can vary depending on personal preference, experience, and available time. Here are some general guidelines:

  1. Beginners: For beginners, it may be a good idea to start with short meditation sessions of around 5 to 10 minutes. This gives you the opportunity to get used to the practice and build the strength to sustain your attention over time.
  2. Gradually increase : As you become more comfortable with meditation, you can gradually increase the length of your sessions. Many people find that 15 to 30 minute meditation sessions fit well into their daily routine.
  3. Find your own balance : The most important thing is to find a meditation practice that works for you and your lifestyle. Some people prefer to meditate in short sessions several times a day, while others prefer a longer session in the morning or evening.
  4. Listen to your body : Pay attention to your body and mind's signals during meditation. If you feel restless or uncomfortable, you may want to end the session early. Likewise, if you feel well-adjusted and want to continue for longer, that's fine too.
  5. Quality over quantity : It is more important to maintain a regular meditation practice than to focus on the length of each session. Even short sessions can be very effective if practiced regularly over time.

The best advice is to experiment with different lengths and find what works best for you. The most important thing is to create a sustainable practice that fits into your life and contributes to your overall health and well-being. Most of Healer Susanne's meditations last around 20 minutes and are suitable for both beginners and experienced users, offering a balanced approach to achieving inner peace and well-being.
