I meditate in the mornings and before sleeping for a decent amount of time usually. But I am fairly conscientious of my state, of my thoughts and of my being throughout the changing moment.

Well said Azrael. Probably about 2 hours or so concentrated at varous times throughout the day. My best times of meditation are when I am doing certain chores on "auto pilot" like unloading the dishwasher, folding clothes, driving somewhere familiar, brushing my teeth etc. And sometimes a 2 minute focused meditation can seem like hours!

Does gardening count? I'm in a very Zen state when I garden...no thoughts whatsoever. Should I factor that in?

Monica - I'd say yes, ABSOLUTELY! That gardening zen time is the best!
