In order to make progress in meditation, it is important to meditate at least once a day. If you are inspired, it is good to meditate 3 times a day. Regularity is very important to improve your ability to meditate. Some people may say that it is difficult to find time to meditate on a busy day. However, if you really value something, then you will find time. 3 times a day, we have time to feed the body. We should also feel the need to feed our inner soul. If we value meditation, then we don't want to miss our regular silence.

The best time to meditate is early morning. In the early morning, the earth becomes quieter and more peaceful. There are also fewer requirements for your time. So morning consciousness is more conducive to meditation. Sri Chinmoy said:

“If you meditate in the morning, you will find that your meditation is most effective. Before the sun rises, the consciousness of the earth is not excited.”

In the Indian verse, the best meditation time is said to be from 3 am to 4 am. This is called Brahma Muhurta or God's Hour. But in the West, if we sleep at 11 or 12, it is still too early. If we meditate as early as possible, we may find our thoughts difficult, making real meditation very difficult. However, being able to meditate in the early morning is beneficial because we believe that we will remain peaceful for the rest of the day. It would be very beneficial if you could face the sun and meditate, because we will get energy from the sun.

The next best time for meditation is evening. In the evening, when we forget the troubles of the day, the atmosphere becomes more peaceful. However, if we meditate directly after completing our work, then we can still get ideas from the activities around our minds. Before meditation, it is best to take a shower and get a clear picture of what happened during the day.

If you have time to meditate during the day, it can be difficult to get deeper, so short meditation may be appropriate. Whenever you meditate, it is important to put meditation first. It's best to meditate once a day, paying full attention and concentration, instead of sitting down a few thoughts every day through our thoughts.

No matter what time you choose, this may vary depending on your individual situation. It is important to stick to your fixed time. Like regularity, punctuality also helps to make our meditation stronger. It's like eating food, and at some point we are ready to eat. At another time, we may be ready to meditate. Our hearts will be more acceptable.
