How Long Should I Meditate?

from Mindfulness with Marie Hosted by Marie Dunleavy

In this episode of Mindfulness with Marie, we answer one of the most common beginner questions: How long do I actually need to meditate for it to count? Many people believe meditation has to be long and perfectly quiet to be effective. But the truth is, consistency matters far more than duration. In this episode, you’ll learn why even one to five minutes can make a meaningful difference — and how small, repeatable practices build lasting change. We talk about: • Why short meditations work • The power of consistency over intensity • How to fit meditation into real, busy lives • Simple ways to anchor meditation into your daily routine Meditation doesn’t have to take over your schedule. It can live inside your life — in the pauses between moments. Take a breath. Even a minute is enough.
