How long should I meditate?

Does reading or listening to music or sleeping count as meditating? I wanted to know because I have very little time to meditate and I wanted to know if these things would count.

Answer #1

dang it I think it should because some of us have no time to meditate.

Answer #2

Not really.

Answer #3

Uhm no. What do you mean you dont have time? If you have time to listen to music, you have time to meditate. Of course meditating is optional… You dont have to do it?

Answer #4

yes…sleeping counts as meditation, lol. You know the old sayings… I meditated like a log… I need to catch forty meditations…

I don’t know about you but I doze off the second I start to meditate.

Answer #5

You can meditate anywhere and anytime. Bhoedistic meditation called Samatha for instance is about concentrating your attention on one thing without letting it wander, think of nothing else but the thing your concentrating on. And there is no time limit, there are people who can meditate for hours on end, and others who feel better after 30 minutes. Try seeing how long it takes you to clear your mind and continue till you feel youre done.
