question on meditation

[REALNEGA]

if i meditate 30 min twice a day is it the same as meditating one hour a day?

[Rilles]

no, thats two 30 min sessions, not the same, if you go into monkeymind in between it doesnt count

what would you prefer?

[Rilles]

it depends on what your purpose of meditation is, if you just want to calm your mind and be more aware of your thoughts then 30 mins is enough, for deeper states i would do 1 hour Strong Determination Sitting everyday

1h is too long.

Also what kind of meditation you do? If it's mindfulness then you don't need a timer at all. Just sit as long as you like it and as often as you like it 

i just sit and do nothing

What are trying to achieve? Do you know why you meditate?
