As a beginner, starting with 5-10 minutes of meditation per day is a great place to begin.
This allows you to gradually acclimate yourself to the practice without feeling overwhelmed.
You can gradually increase the duration as you become more comfortable.
Consistency is key, so it's better to meditate for a shorter period daily than to have long sessions sporadically.
Remember, meditation is not about achieving a specific duration, but about cultivating mindfulness and presence.
