What's the best time to meditate? Is there a standard time of day that's ideal for everyone or does this vary by individual?

Yes, longer meditation time varies individually. Usually better if kept at a consistent time, and generally not directly after a meal. Micro- or short meditations can be done, on the other hand, at any time. Mindfulness practice also can be done at any time, including when you are eating.

My favorite longer meditation times are at sunrise and sunset, but I also use mindfulness and/or micro-meditation whenever I feel like it.
