What is the Proper Time to Practice and must you do it regularly?

The Taoists divide the time for practice into four periods. At six

o’clock in the morning, less Yin, more Yang; at 12:00 noon, strong

Yang, at six o’clock in the evening, less Yang, more Yin; and at

midnight, strong Yin. The length of time should be fifteen to thirty

minutes at the beginning. As you make progress you can then extend

it to one hour. Most importantly, find your own time and practice

regularly every day. It is of no use, if you practice one day for

three hours and then stop for two or three months. Ideally, begin

your practice regularly, for fifteen to twenty minutes each day and

expand as you make progress.
