What to understand

Morning and evening meditation can both fit, depending on your energy and daily rhythm. Morning may offer an intentional start, while evening can provide a transition toward rest.

How to practice

Try the same short meditation at both times for several days. Rather than asking which is theoretically best, notice when you can show up with the least effort.

A helpful reminder

If a fixed time is not possible, use a cue such as after lunch or before showering. Flexibility can still support consistency.
