    Nighttime, more peaceful, quieter, less distractions.

    night time, after a nice warm shower, not too late, around 9-10.

    when i practised vipassana i used to sit in the early morning when it was still quiet and in the late evening just before bed

    now every moment is a meditation - so its a constant.

    I meditate when it's needed. Like when I'm anxious or feeling uneasy. When I meditate for the heck of it..I usually do it in the evening.

    Early morning (If I can get up) so as to open myself
    to a new day and keep bhakti alive :) To keep the
    love for God in everything that I do, and this is most
    definitley enhanced by early morning yoga.
    And also at night, generally around 10-3am, beginning
    sometime between those hours and lasting as long
    as it lasts. The night time meditation I use for prayer,
    but I always begin with self reflection, to take a deep
    look at myself and ask myself "Who was triumphant
    today in the daily struggle? Ego or Soul?" And this
    way I can sit and evaluate all of my actions and find
    if I perform more selfish actions or devoted actions
    throughout a single waking period.
    After this self reflection, I get in tune with my soul
    and place thought's on God and begin my climb toward
    the Light.
    Also, it is proper to meditate in the same spot everyday,
    I mean we can meditate anywhere but it is very well
    to keep a spot that the energy surrounding you while
    you meditate remains in the same area, helping you when
    you go to step outside of your ego every morning/evening.
    Just some advice that I've found helps tremendously to
    calm the mind and open the heart and soul :D

    3am? Man, that'd be hard for me. I can't meditate in the morning (too tired :&) and I can't focus at all when I'm tired. I meditate usually in the afternoon around 12-1 and in the evening around 8-9.

    Oh not everyday Dream, only sometimes, like once
    or twice a week am I meditating that late at night.
    And the morning? Even more rare for a lazy bum
    like myself :)
