An important issue that you need to decide is when, how often and how long you will engage in your spiritual practice each time you start. Many spiritual practitioners have gotten derailed and eventually abandoned their practice because they started out with an untenable schedule based on their initial enthusiasm for spirituality. Be realistic! If you have a full time job, business or family to care for, you may not have the kind of free time that less busy people have. If you live with others, you may not have access to privacy as much as you might want or need. Consider your particular circumstances, and determine if early in the morning, in the middle of the day, or late at night would work best for you, even in the middle of the night. Can you practice every day, weekly or biweekly? When is your home or space the quietest and free of traffic? Also be mindful of the requirements of the spiritual path you follow. Does it require you to be in a specific place at a specific time? Can you comfortably meet up with this time requirement? Can you modify these requirements, or do you have choose another path or practice that is more convenient for you? Pick a practice schedule that will not overwhelm you and make you feel obligated to do your spiritual practice.
