BellaOnline Forums Religion and Spirituality Meditation What is your favorite time of the day to meditate?

Although any time which can be managed is good, traditionally the best times to meditate are at sunrise, sunset, and at noon. At these times there is a balance in nature that makes medition more beneficial.

Before retirement, my main meditation was in the night. I did have a short meditation each morning before leaving for work. Now my longer meditation is in the morning. One should never go to bed without even a short maditation. We should remember that it is the depth of the meditation that counts, not the length.
Set aside a time each week for a longer meditation. Perhaps several hours if you are able. I set aside one evening each week and spend the time in meditation. After a relaxing bath, I skip dinner and enter the meditation room. Often it is these times my oneness with the devine increases. I pray deeply for the devotion to keep meditating and ask that I may love Him/Her more.

Sarada, you have an inspiring meditation practice!

Le't talk about our meditation times some more. I've found the past year that before going to bed is my best time of day, because I take time to reflect on the day, plan for the next day and give appreciations for the good in my life.

I try to spend some time before going to sleep clearing my mind and relaxing. I think meditation would be great just before bed.

Usually during the day I'm too busy and thinking and moving to sit in patience and meditate.

However, the past couple weeks I've been going for acupuncture which takes about an hour of laying in a darkened room with peaceful music. I've been meditating at that time and its' wonderful!

I like the morning because it totally starts my day off right and then i'm on the right track for the rest of the day

I definitely prefer the morning - it just sets me up nicely for the day. But after a hard day at work, I do find a 20 minute session helps me to 'unwind' and definitely allows me to sleep better.

I like right before bedtime. but hey during a great massage works well for me too!!! I would like to try Acupunture but there is no one around here that does it so.....and if I have time in the mornings that is a good time too....

Hi Joanj, MadamePeachy, Linda76 and Freebubbles3!

Thank you for talking about your meditation times - we all seem to have a special time of day to most easily meditate.
