How Long Should I Meditate To See Results?

“How long does meditation take to work” is a great question and one that comes up a lot. Meditation isn't a quick fix, like taking a pain relief tablet. With regular meditation practice, you'll begin to see and feel the results. It's possible you'll notice some benefits right away, but if you don't, that's normal too, so try not to be discouraged. Greater results are achieved over time and through more patient, dedicated and consistent practice. And keep in mind that you don't have to meditate for a long time each day. Check out our articles How long should I meditate? and How can I meditate regularly? for some ideas on how to start working mindfulness into your everyday life.
