Sorry I have a couple of questions. I guess the biggest one is how often and how much time should be spent on mindfulness?

oops per day?

Have you got any questions for @MindfulWaves

it is very interesting xx

[MindfulWaves]

Yes that is absolutely fine! Do whatever you can but make sure your mind stays alert!

[Former-Member]

Good one @Former-Member I think this is one lots of people wonder about!

[Shaz51]

That is a good question @Former-Member

No problems Teej, I'm so happy you are curious about mindfulness. I am not fussed how much time you should spend practising mindfulness - however, I am far more concerned about how regularly you practise. You see 5 minutes per day is better than say 1 hour per week. It is important you develop into your life as a regular habit. So start off small, like for 5 minutes and if that seems easly slowly increase it. It is more about your intention and the quality of your practise than just ticking a box saying sometimes you practise mindfulenss.

I guess the second and final question for tonight would be do you have to be in a certain frame of mind to practice mindfulness? This relates a little bit to the first question of mine tonight about distraction vs mindfulness. I guess I'm wondering if there is some criteria around when not to try it.
