Good meditation, but the 15 minutes version has weird disjointed pauses in it that go on for too long! ---

Good meditation, but the pauses ont he longer version at jarring ---

A 5 minute session is good. Can try for 10 mins if I have more time to spare. ---

The audio is broken on the 15 minute recording. Out of order and with long pauses at strange times. ---

I‘d try 10 min next time. 5 min was great ---

15 minute length is broken and disjointed. ---

Definitely calming would keep practicing before lengthening the time. ---

10 minutes is a good length. ---

I’d keep the same time length for now. ---

7.5 minutes would be the sweet spot. I am happy with 10 minutes. I will balance it with 5 minutes on work nights. ---

I think 10 mins is a good balance of feasible but still a bit challenging for me…my mind wanders quickly ---

Felt mentally pensive, tense & aggy at the start. Didn’t feel completely calm after but I defo felt less on edge. Keeping a regular daily time to meditate will help a lot ---
