some times my meditation lasts a few minutes, and seem like hours.sometimes I don't feel like meditating even then I sit down and try my best because I want to evolve myself spiritually and believe its the best thing I can do with my time.

| The experience does change with a regular routine even if it feels that way for now. |

| Just stumbled upon the quote I was looking to share: "It will change as the process of purification and opening advances." from here. Fairly sure that includes perception of time, how one feels about it etc. Even sri nisargadatta maharaj once said "It is not the person that is doing sadhana. The person is in unrest and resistance to the very end." |

Man, I'm so there with you. But it did and does get easier. The people at AYP and the program laid out by Yogani can be immeasurable in helping with your progress. Hang in there buddy. Nice way to live.

| As it has been explained to me, there is no such thing as a "bad meditation." The Gita says (not an exact quote), even a little practice will save one from direr fears and calamities. |

Our subjective experiences in meditation are of no concern to us. Any particular meditation session may seem long or short, peaceful or disturbed, easy or hard, etc. Nothing that we think might or might not be happening during the practice matters in judging success or failure--we only ask, "Is it easy, natural, effortless?", not if it seemed to go quickly, or be settled or blissful or restless or whatever. Sometimes, it may seem one way, the next day or week, a different way, better or worse, easier or harder. This is only because our nervous system changes from day to day, week to week, and our meditation reflects off of that, so to speak. Some times we are more rested, some times, more tired. Morning meditation may feel different from evening meditation. Maybe for a time, it seems to go slowly. Then for a time it may seem to be easier and faster--do not get attached to either, because it will continue to change as we evolve, purify and progress. Judge your meditation by how you feel in life.
