Beginners are required to meditate once or twice a day, for about 7 to 10 minutes. As you progress, you can lengthen your meditation time up to 20 minutes. Meditation may also be performed during early mornings at around 3 to 4 AM. Or, you can meditate in the evening, before eating dinner or before going to sleep.
