How long did it take for you to notice your meditation gains?

I've been doing it since the start of January. 20 minutes almost every single day. I moved it up to 30.  what I've noticed seems to be this: i feel more empathetic and understanding, i can recall memories more vividly, and yesterday i felt so blissful and happy. i never felt like that in years.  Could be my imagination, could be the placebo effect, All those buzzwords.  But whatever is happening to me i am 110% staying with my habit if it means I'll reap more.

Probably immediately, whether I knew it or not. But I'd say within a week of doing it I noticed the monkey mind quietened significantly. That and the ability to be present with others and not have my mind auto complete their sentences before they finished talking - and responding to my generation of the conversation rather than listening to what actually occurred. Even if I was correct in my guess the conversations were always stilted because the recipient could feel I was in my head rather than my body.

Also was able to concentrate for longer periods of time reading, wouldn't be so reactive in sports and became able to experience the world wash over me instead of trying to force my egoic desires on every situation.

Immediately. Serious gains started happening after doing 1 hour a day for 6 months straight. After 1 hour per day for around 2 years now, my life is forever changed. But I literally will feel better doing 5 minutes instead of 0. It’s very healthy for the mind to have the space needed to just vomit it’s contents freely. Almost like it’s purging itself haha. 

Keep going and progressing at whatever rate feels natural imo.

It alows me to structure my life with more ease. I am not perfect at doing it daily. But I feel it every day I do it.. and to me, that is perfect.

Its not placebo, I get warm and fuzzy feelings after just 3 days in a row of meditating.

Because I have a naturally psychotic mind I already am extremely sensitive and aware...so I didn't need hard practises to experience this. I contemplated hardcore long before I knew about leo and this place. I'm noticing some pretty nifty results now, some of which include; 

- incredible clarity and intelligence

- massive degrees of self control

- more in touch with social environments (I've become the "cool guy" in my class lol ?) 

- visualization, drawing, creativity abilities amplified.

And each of these points have other sub points that manifest as a result. With clarity and intelligence I find myself solving difficult problems with ease in short spaces of time, my education is now effortless haha. I can see things like nobody else can. I get put on one shift with a new chinese colleague and I've learned how to speak 4 phrases in chinses perfectly, I can play classical and jazz piano, I can now draw very well. self control I've stuck to a diet and I'm in the best shape of my life, im wearing nicer clothes, talking to nicer people. Im more attractive. More in touch with social environments means that I can now relate to people better, I see now that friendship and relationships are about love. I'm connecting with girls better. This is without the use of the most powerful psychedelics, I've really been lagging with my psychedelics and kryia yoga. I won't tolerate any more of my laziness after the end of this month. I've ordered a gram of dpt, so I'll be using that to boost myself to
