Poll: How much do you practice meditation?

[Tim R]

By meditation, I don't just mean sitting meditation, it can be any other form, walking, lying, eating, whatever. 

The poll is anonymously.

Eating. 1-2 hours daily.xD

Currently doing about 1 hr of fire kasina per day with breath meditation/Ānāpānasati throughout most of the day, especially when I’m at work or around other people. Fire kasina is done now while maintaining Ānāpānasati most of the time. Once first jhana is reached, the focus of the meditation switches to noting and increasing the factors of the jhana.

I've been meditating for about a half an hour a day for 5 months - since I got out of the hospital, to work on increasing my concentration.  It is going well, initially ten minutes was very hard for me, but now I can meditate for 30 minutes without too much trouble - albeit some monkey mind for sure.  Usually, I feel wrapped up in an almost dark green-like space - and just the experience of being alive, it brings awareness, intelligence into my life that I didn't imagine was possible.

I'm not perfect at it though, and tend to sway a bit as I meditate and can't sit perfectly still, but I let go and naturally, with my hands clasped, it turns more into a prayer - gratitude for living, and I send loving energy to my soul group and to Kali, the Wolf - through this bhakti yoga - and just breathing becomes a sacred experience.  If you're not meditating regularly, I recommend it, it really helps.

Kudos to those of you meditating for hours on end, that's amazing, I wish I could do that.  Maybe someday.

No meditation for the last 10 days. Been suffering from flu. Before that I used to meditate for 10 minutes barely.

Same here. It is so annoying. Drinking citrus juice helps.

I recommend taking a 10 day Vipassana meditation course/retreat 

It is so liberating
