What are some tips for meditating for beginners? How long should you meditate for a beginner to see results like peace, calmness, etc.?

I have recently answered almost a similar question and would request you to use the following link to read and learn.

Can someone who has never been able to meditate learn how to do it and get results from it?

Yes you can, it is quiet simple actually. You only need to learn when you have to do something. Meditation is a practice of non-doing being. You just need to choose not to do anything. But here the activity is mental activity not physical activity. Just do the following for one to three minutes and see what happens. This is FGCB or Fixed Gazing and Conscious Breathing. Simply take a few minutes to be with this practice several times during the day for a few days. It would be even more helpful if you can practice three minutes of gentle body movements called Deep crossing after the FGCB and continue with the FGCB while doing this. It is demonstrated in the below link for the YouTube video.

Sit for the meditation after doing deep crossing.

Another option is to enroll for my online mentoring program called Awareness Journey. Read about it in the link below.

I would also recommend that you read some of my other posts and answers on my Quora profile if you wish to go deeper into the subject.
